Welcome Spring Shaker Card by Donna Idlet

A Sweet Spring Shaker!

Today Donna has created a sweet shaker card that is perfect for celebrating spring!

To create this fun shaker card she began by stamping the big circle filled with little spring icons from our Spring Roundabout Stamp Set. She colored all the cute little images with bright spring colors and then cut the image out using our Circle Frames Die Set. She also used the same die set to cut out the scallop edged circle for the shaker window. She filled the shaker with sequins that matched the spring colors she had used on the images. 

For her card she started with a white card base. Then she cut out the pretty blue gingham pattern from our Spring Blooms Paper Pad using our Frames & Flags Die Set to give it the scalloped edge. For the message she used "Welcome Spring!" from the Spring Roundabout Stamp Set. She embossed the sentiment in black and then die cut it using our Banner Duo Die Set. 

What a fun way to celebrate spring! 

We hope you have enjoyed this project today. To see more fun creations by Donna, you can visit her blog, Creative Lady!

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!

Easter Blessings Card by Larissa Heskett

Easter Blessings

Today we are sharing a sweet Easter card by Larissa, just in time for the Easter Holiday!

This fun Easter greeting features the big circle image from our Spring Roundabout Stamp Set. Larissa colored all the fun little Easter themed icons in the circle and added white gel pen highlights. She then cut the image out and gave it a fun teal scalloped frame using our Circle Frames Die Set. 

For the background she features the pretty purple floral printed paper from our Spring Blooms Paper Pad. She cut it to fit just inside her card base and then added some black paint splatters and gems to give a fun bit of extra detail. 

The finishing touch is the sentiment "Easter Blessings" from our Easter Lily Stamp Set, stamped into the lower corner. 

We hope that everyone has a Happy Easter weekend! To say hello to Larissa and see more of her creations, you can visit her over at her blog, Larissa Heskett Designs.

Hoppy Easter Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

  

HOPPY Easter!

Today we are sharing a bunny filled Easter card by Tatiana that will leave you ready to hop into spring crafting!

For this card, Tatiana started by stamping and coloring the fun big circle image filled with Easter goodies from our Spring Roundabout Stamp Set. She used fun bright spring colors on all those little images, adding fun white gel pen accents too. She cut the image out using the Circle Frames Die Set to add it to her card. 

For the card base she created a fun bunny background using our Bunny Tails Stencil Set. This fun stencil has two pieces, one for the bunny silhouettes and one for the tails. She used the bunny silhouette stencil with several fun colors to create colorful rows of bunnies. Then she used the second stencil with white texture paste to add fluffy white tails! Adorable!

For the finishing touch she added the sentiment "Hoppy Easter" from the Hoppy Greetings Stamp Set, stamped and embossed in white onto a black banner that was die cut out using the small banner from our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. 

We hope this card has inspired you to get a jump start on your Spring crafting! 

Thank you,Tatiana, for the inspiration! To see more of her beautiful work, you can visit Tatiana at her blog, Tatiana Trafimovich!

Hoppy Easter Card by Amanda Wilcox

 

Hoppy Easter!

Today Amanda has created and adorable card that is filled with fun easter images! 

She started out with the image of the bunny peeking around a sign from our Hoppy Greetings Stamp Set. 

This fun set has several sentiments you can stamp inside the sign and she chose to use the one that says "Hoppy Easter."She colored this adorable image in neutral tones and added pretty pink to the tulip. She also stamped and colored a the small images of Easter eggs and a second flower from this set. The images were all cut out using the coordinating Hoppy Greetings Die Set. 

Then, for that fun background she stamped the big circle image that is filled with lots of little Easter objects from our Spring Roundabout Stamp Set in several colors. She then cut parts of the image out using our Circle Frames Die Set. She chose a pink flower print from our Springtime Paper Pad and used that as her card base. Then she layered all the circle images in a grid pattern over the top. The bunny and sign are layered over that for a fun and whimsical Easter greeting! 

We hope you enjoyed this amazing card today and are inspired to create some fun Easter cards of your own! For more ideas you can visit our Easter category to see all the products that we have for Easter fun!

Happy Easter Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Happy Easter!

Easter is just around the corner! Today we are sharing an a fun Easter themed card by Tatiana that is perfect for celebrating!

Her card features the adorable round image filled with easter baskets, carrots, chicks and bunnies from our Spring Roundabout Stamp Set.  She colored the image in fun bright pastel colors and cut it out using the  Circle Frames Die Set. This image is sized perfectly to cut out using the large circle or scalloped circe from this die set! She embossed the "Happy Easter" Sentiment on black cardstock with white embossing powder and hand cut around it to layer it over the image. A few irridescent sequins give a bit of shimmery detail too. 

For the card base she used our two piece Bunny Tails Stencil Set. She stenciled the bunny silhouettes with a light brown ink using the first stencil and then used a darker brown ink with the second stencil for their tails! The etching on the stencils makes it easy to perfectly line them up! She then added some brown and white splatters to add a fun bit of detail to the background. Some twine gives the perfect finishing touch. 

We hope this card has inspired you to send out some Easter greetings!

Welcome Spring Lily Card by Maria Russell

Welcome Spring!

Are spring flowers in bloom where you live yet? Today we inspired by spring flowers on this gorgeous card by Maria! She has created a gorgeous lily card featuring our Lilies and a cheerful spring theme!

For the lilies, she stamped the bouquet from our Easter Lily Stamp Set twice and colored it in lovely tones of pink, adding speckles too! She cut the images out using the coordinating Easter Lily Die Set. 

To create the lovely slimline card, she cut out the scallop edged panel using the largest die from our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set. She masked the edges and then filled the inside of the shape with that lovely pattern using our Basketweave Stencil with light blue ink. Then she added a floral bouquet to each side. She also added some die cut green leaves using our Flower Trio Die Set, added behind each bunch of flowers. For the sentiment in the center, she stamped "Welcome Spring" from our Spring Roundabout Stamp Set and embossed it in white. The black banner was die cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set. 

Here is a close up so you can see the incredible coloring on those blooms!!
