Hoppy Easter

Hello Sweet Friends!  It's Sheri here today to share a Easter Card featuring the super cute Benjamin Bunny digital stamp and a sentiment from the Hoppy Easter stamp set.  As I've mentioned in the past I'm a huge fan of being able to mix digital stamps with my stamp sets especially if I'm crafting late at night and want instant gratification to my retail therapy.

For my card I printed out this adorable bunny on some copic friendly paper and proceeded to color him with copic markers. (Pink Bunny Parts & Flower: R81, R83, R85; Flower Stem: G43; Flower Pot: BG10, BG11; Bunny & Shadows: C00, C0, C1; and Bunny Cheeks: R20). 

I kept the design very clean by only adding a strip of pattern paper as a backdrop to the bunny.  (A great way to use up those scraps we all have in our stash).  I then stamped the greeting with black ink added some ribbon and glitter dots as embellishments.

 

The Texture Tiles 1 stamp set is the March 2018 Stamp of the Month and is FREE with a $75 order (after all discounts and before shipping & tax) through 3/31/18.

 

 Happy Stamping!

 

Wishing you many Blessings

Hello Everyone!  I hope you're all doing well.  I am getting over a cold and now seasonal allergies are setting in.  Winter, as I hear it, is over here in Florida.  I guess I still have more acclimating to do.  I am hoping this sweet little card in it's very Spring-y colors will help me towards that acclimation and maybe bring some warmth to your neck of the woods.

I found this really great card on the Scor-Pal project site and just had to give it a try.  This is called a half-window card and was really easy to do.  I actually did this on the first try, which I think was dumb-luck.  Haha!

Recently, Korin introduced us to a sweet little bunny named Bethany.  Here's one of them called Bethany Picking Flowers - she's part of an absolutely adorable collection that is perfect for Spring and Easter greetings.

So as I said, this is a half window card and it was super easy to do.  All you need is a scoring tool, I have a Scor Pal and a circle cutting system, I used Coluzzle.  You score the card stock in half for a standard sized card and then score again the front panel in half.  Now I didn't score the entire front panel.  I only scored a little at the top and a little at the bottom.  Placed my Coluzzle template so that it was between the score marks and only cut the circle on the right side of the template.  Then finished the card.

Open it and reveal a message that you stamp behind the focal image.  Easy!  The sentiment is from Benjamin Bunny stamp set.  Pretty spring colors and a sweet sentiment is just what any friend would love to receive.

I hope you enjoyed my card today.  Don't forget the great sale going on in the SNSS store.  Have a super day!

Many Hugs & Blessings,
Melissa

Spring is Coming!

Today is my first post as one of the February Guest Designers for Sweet n Sassy Stamps. I am excited to be here and share my creations with you this month! I will be posting a card/project each Saturday in February.

For this card, I used the newly-released "Benjamin Bunny" stamp set from Sweet n Sassy Stamps. I thought it would be fun to paper piece Benjamin. To do this, I used three different coordinating papers. I decided not to include the pot and flower that is a part of the Benjamin stamp. I like the effect that the paper-piecing achieved. In addition to Spring cards, I think Benjamin would also be cute on baby cards. I made a "quilted" background by punching squares from patterned papers and mounting them onto a piece of card stock. The papers used are So Saffron, Certain Celery, and Delicate Dots DSP by Stampin Up. I placed Benjamin on the frame made from Nestabilities dies then stamped the coordinating sentiment. I completed the card by adding pre-made flowers, ribbon, and a bunny charm.

Head over the Sweet n Sassy store to see the new "Benjamin Bunny" stamp set, as well as, other new stamp releases. See you again next Saturday- Claudine.
