Limited Edition Simon Says Stamp Easter Card Kit Vintage Bunnies

Image
Today I am happy to be sharing 3 projects I created with the Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Vintage Bunnies card kit . This kit just has everything to create some adorable as well as some gorgeous Easter projects! This first project was created with the Delicate Lattice stencil to create the background. The sentiment is the Bouncy Happy Easter die cut from white cardstock and the shadow from the Bubblegum Glitter cardstock . The cute little chicks are cut and embossed from the Hatching Chicks embossing folder and colored with copic markers. Next is the project I created using the Wild Flowers 6x6 pattern paper cut with an A2 size rectangle die to leave a bit of a white border. Just added a sentiment die and a few small butterfly dies. Last, I used the Vintage Bunnies stamp set included in the kit. I stamped the bunny, bow and sentiments using sticky black ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder. I added some light watercolor to the images. I hope you enjoy the projects I ma...

Image
Hello crafty friends! I am happy to share a project featuring the Sweet Bunny Die, the Fable Cute Bunny die , Hoppy Springs stamps and the Basic Shapes Nested Egg dies  from the new Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Moments release. Click HERE to see the full release! I used the Simon Says Stamp Gift Bag die to create this fun Easter project. I cut and assembled the bag out of pattern paper I had in my stash. Pro tip: use really sticky tape to adhere your box together. I then die cut out a rectangle mat from white cardstock to frame my bunny scene. I cut out the larger bunny once and the smaller bunny twice from white cardstock. I used copic markers to add colored to them. I die cut a scalloped rectangle background and ink blended it with green and blue ink to ground the bunnies so they didn't look like they were just floating in the air. I then used the smallest of the nested egg shapes to create my Easter eggs. I used white paint to add decor to the eggs. The bow tie and sentim...

Poinsettia Birthday card

Image
Today's post will show you how to get more use out of your holiday 3d embossing folders. One of my favorite holiday embossing folder was the Simon Says Stamp Poinsettia embossing folder. I was experimenting with non-holiday colors and realized that the florals of this folder look like flowers for any occasion. I also used one of my favorite techniques of turning over the embossing panel and adding ink directly to the panel.  Card base: Top folding A2 size cut from smooth white cardstock. Background: White cardstock trimmed down to leave a bit of a border ran through a 3d embossing folder. I colored the centers of the flowers with a yellow copic marker in the inverted side of the panel. Then a took a purple oxide ink pad and pulled over the entire top of the panel. Sentiment: I colored strips white cardstock to coordinate with the background and cut the banners from them. I adhered the banner to the panel with 3d foam squares for extra dimension. Using foam squares also gives the b...
