Hippity Hoppity Cards by Jennifer Jackson

Hippity Hoppity! 

Hello! Jen here today and I've been having fun with some easter crafting! Today I'm sharing two bunny cards that both feature our Bunny Tails Stencil Set and Hop Into Spring Stamp Set!

For the first card, pictured above, I used our Bunny Tails Stencil Set to make a fun background of teal bunnies. This stencil is a two piece set and one piece has the bunny silhouettes and the second piece has the bunny tails.  The stencil also has etching on each piece so you can easily line up the bunnies and tails. I used two shades of teal to create the fun background. Then I layered it over a teal rectangle with a scalloped edge that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set. 

For the main image, I stamped and colored the bunny in a spring watering can from our Hop Into Spring Stamp Set. I chose bright spring colors of copic markers, matching the color of the watering can to the stenciled background. The image was cut out using the coordinating Hop Into Spring Die Set before layering it onto the card. I also added the sentiment "Hippity Hoppity" from our Spring Roundabout Stamp Set. This was stamped onto a yellow banner that was cut out using the same Frames & Flags Die Set. 

For the second card I used almost exactly the same supplies but created a slightly different card layout. For the background I made another panel of bunnies using our Bunny Tails Stencil Set but this time I used a yellow cardstock base and mustard ink for the bunny silhouettes. Then I used flocking to addd fuzzy white tails to the bunnies. I cut this panel out using the Frames & Flags Die Set to give it the fun scalloped edge. 

Again, I colored the same image of the bunny in the watering can from the Hop Into Spring Stamp Set but this time I made the watering can yellow to match the background pattern. 

I used the same "Hippity Hoppity" sentiment from the Spring Roundabout Stamp Set, but this time I stamped it onto a piece of cream colored cardstock and then cut a scalloped edge on one side using our Sky Borders Die Set. A small stripe of pink ribbon finishes the card.

I hope you enjoyed these fun spring cards! I also hope that I have inspired you to make multiple cards using similar supplies but changing them up just a little! This is such a fun way to try new things and experiment!

Lucky Dog Card by Amanda Wilcox

Lucky Dog!

Today we are sharing an adorable dog themed card by Amanda.

This fun card features the puppy holding a four leaf clover from our Lucky Dog Stamp Set. She colored the image in neutral colors and added the fun pop of green on the clover. She also added sparkle to the clover and gloss to the nose on the dog. So cute! She cut this image out along with the little hearts using the coordinating Lucky Dog Die Set. 

For her card, she ink blended two background shapes. She used our Basketweave Stencil with brown ink on brown paper. She also added gold paint splatters to the brown paper and cut it out into a heart shape using our Heart Frames Die Set. For the second pattern she used our Petite Hearts Stencil with pale pink ink on a light pink paper. She cut the heart pattern out using the stitched square die from our Frames Squared Die Set. She also cut out a black decorative square shape using the Frames Squared Die Set. She layered all of the die cut shapes and added the puppy to the front. She also added the message "lucky dog" onto a small circle shape that was cut out using the Frames Squared Die Set.

This is such a fun and unique card layout, don't you think? All the layers and patterns really add so much interest and detail!

So Mush Fun Card by Samantha Mann

So MUSH fun!

Today we are sharing a bright and cheerful mushroom themed card by Samantha!

To create this adorable card she combined the image of the gnome sitting on the mushroom from our Gnome Garden Stamp Set with a bunch of mushrooms and the sentiment from our Fabulous Fungus Stamp Set. She colored all the images in warm hues of red and yellow and die cut the images out using the coordinating Gnome Garden Die Set and Fabulous Fungus Die Set. She also added little highlights onto images using a white gel pen. 

Next, she added a beautiful sky onto her background panel using two of our scene building stencils. She started by adding blue inks to the light rays on our Sunscape Stencil. Then she used texture paste to create fun thick clouds using our Cloudy Sky Stencil. Doesn't that look incredible? She then added all the mushrooms and gnome image at the bottom edge of the stenciling to complete the scene. 

This card is perfect for sending fun wishes anytime of year!

Easter Blessings Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Sweet Easter Blessings

Today we are sharing a beautiful card by Tatiana that is perfect for sending greetings for Easter. 

To create this lovely card she started by stamping images from our Newton's Easter Basket Stamp Set. She chose to feature the image of the kitty in the easter basket wearing bunny ears and also stamped several extra eggs and chicks to add to her scene. She colored all the images in gorgeous soft colors and added accents with a white gel pen. She cut the images out using the coordinating Newton's Easter Basket Die Set. 

Next, she created a soft ink blended background and added some white splatters to it using white gouache. She cut the panel out using our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set to separate it into three stitched rectangles. She then adhered those to a white cardstock base and layered the images on top. So pretty! 

For the message she used the sentiment from our Easter Lily Stamp Set. She split it in two sections, stamping the word "Easter" directly onto the panel and embossing the word "blessings" in white onto a small black rectangle. 

We hope you enjoyed this beautiful card by Tatiana today! To see more of her lovely work, you can visit Tatiana at her blog, Tatiana Trafimovich! 

Let the Good Times Roll Card by Jennifer Jackson

Let the Good Times Roll! 

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing a fun cat themed birthday card that is sure to make the recipient smile! 

To create this card I started by stamping the kitty unrolling the toilet paper from our Naughty Newton Stamp Set. Isn't this image so funny? I added stripes to the kitty and some white gel pen accents too. Then I cut the image out using the coordinating Naughty Newton Die Set. 

I was looking through my stamps and decided that it would be fun to make this image into a birthday card by pairing it with the cat themed birthday sentiment from our Heartfelt Meows Stamp Set and the message "let the good times roll" from our Cycling Friends Stamp Set. Doesn't that go perfectly with the unrolled toilet paper!? I cut out the sentiments using the Banner Trio Die Set for the blue banner and the circle from the Frames Squared Die Set for the stitched circle shape. 

I then made a little setting for the cat using our Serene Stripes Stencil to make a wallpaper and a piece of gray for a floor.  I cut both pieces out into a smaller rounded square using our Frames Squared Die Set. The large scalloped rectangle is that frames the whole layout is from our Frames & Flags Die Set. 

I hope that this card made you smile today! And don't forget to look at the stamps you have and try mixing and matching the sentiments from different sets to create fun new ideas! 

Feeling Under the Weather? Card by Samantha Mann

   

Under the Weather?

Need to send smiles to someone who's not feeling well? This card by Samantha is sure to to the trick!

To create this beautiful card she started by creating a gorgeous ink blended sky, filled with clouds! To do this she used our Clouds Stencil with distress inks in shades of pink and yellow. So gorgeous! 

Next, she stamped that sweet kitty with the umbrella from our Newton's Umbrella Stamp Set. She colored the kitty and umbrella to match the cloudy background, using lots of pink hues. She added cute little pink cheeks to the kitty and white gel pen accents. How adorable! She also stamped a bunch of raindrops from the Newton's Umbrella Stamp Set and colored them blue for a fun pop of color. The kitty and raindrops were cut out using the coordinating Newton's Umbrella Die Set. 

To complete her card she layered the kitty and raindrops over the background and also added the sentiment "Feeling under the weather?" onto the sky from the Newton's Umbrella Stamp Set. This set also has the sentiment "I've got you covered" which could be added to the inside of the card.

To create this card she began by creating a rainbow of shamrocks using our Shamrocks Hot Foil Plate with some rainbow colored foil in her hot foiling machine. 

 

She added some black paint splatters over the top of the background to give it a bit of fun and texture. Then she layered it over patterned paper with green polka dots to add the the St. Patrick's Day theme. The green polka dot paper is from our Christmas Time Paper Pad and she cut it out using our Frames & Flags Die Set to give it a fun scalloped edge.

Dog & Cat Friendship Card by Donna Idlet

Life is Better with a Friend Like You!

Today we are sharing a cozy friendship card created by Donna that would be perfect for sending to a pet lover!

To create this adorable card she began by stamping the image of the dog and cat snuggling on the swing from our Porch Swing Friends Stamp Set. She choose a paper pattern that she wanted to use from our Love & Meows Paper Pad and colored the image using colors that matched the paper! This is a great way to choose a color palette if you're not sure what colors to use on an image! 

The image was cut out using the coordinating Porch Swing Friends Die Set. Then she cut out a scallop edged rectangle using our  Framework Die Set to layer the behind the image. She added a bit of light blue ink onto the rectangle. This really helps the image pop! She also added the sentiment "Life is better with a friend like you" from the Porch Swing Friends Stamp Set along the bottom and added a glossy heart next to it. She also added hearts to the top strings on the swing. So cute! 

This cozy scene is sure to make the recipient feel loved!

Ink Blended Thank you Card by Farhana Sarker

Ink Blended Thank You!

Today we are sharing a simple ink blended thank you card by Farhana that is perfect sending a heartfelt note of gratitude.

For her card front she started with a white panel and die cut two hearts out of it using the scalloped heart shape from our Heart Frames Die Set. Between the heart cut outs she added the sentiment " thanks so much" from the Daffodils Stamp Set.

Next, she stamped the big heart image filled with flowers from our Heartfelt Blooms Stamp Set on a separate piece of paper, embossing it in white. She ink blended over the top using a rainbow of colors. Then she layered it behind heart cut outs, adding some 3D adhesive between the layers and clear acetate to create a shaker window.
