Some Bunny Loves You – Die-cut Easter Card

Hello! I couldn’t resist playing again with the Spring Animals die set to create another Easter card. (You can see my first card using the set here.)

- I created the sentiment on my computer and printed it on the Bazzill card stock.
- I used a 4″ x 5 1/4″ die from a now-retired MFT Blueprints set to cut the sentiment panel.
- I cut and assembled the bunnies and cut the eggs from SU Pineapple Punch, SU Melon Mambo, and SU Gorgeous Grape. I used the Picture Book Love Bear die to cut the heart from SU Poppy Parade.
- After assembling the bunnies, I added them to the lavender panel with foam adhesive.
- I dry-embossed the white card base with the SU Subtle embossing folder for a linen-like texture.

Thanks for dropping by!

Die-cut Easter Greetings

Hello! Today I am sharing an Easter card featuring Karen Burniston’s Spring Animals. I’ve followed Karen over the years and was excited to add these dies to my collection. She has a number of other cute critters that I’m considering.

I cut the Spring Animals pieces and assembled them (SU Daffodil Delight for the chick). The eyes and nose (on the bunny) were added with a pen by using the die as a stencil. This makes it easy to add those small details.
I used the Taylored Expressions Picket Fence Border and Cloud Duo dies to create the scene on which I placed the assembled animals.
I heat-embossed an older Reverse Confetti sentiment (Carton Cuties set) on a SU Cucumber Crush cardstock panel and added it to the rectangle cut from Taylored Expressions Sprinkles.
The light-pink card base was dry-embossed with the Taylored Expressions Flower Power embossing folder.

Paper Smooches – Spring is in the Air

Hello! Today, I am sharing a spring-themed card featuring Paper Smooches stamps and dies (one of the first companies whose products I bought when I started cardmaking). It’s not yet spring here in the PNW but that doesn’t mean I’m not looking ahead with hope.

The items I used on my card I have had for several years.

Supplies: Paper Smooches Flap Happy (butterflies), Butterflies 1, 2, 3 Dies, Lovely Thoughts (sentiment), Bazzill Sour Lemon cardstock, Lawn Large Stitched Rectangles

Bee Mine – CAS Valentine

Hello from the snowy Pacific Northwest! We have had more snow in the past few days than we typically have all winter. We are breaking snow records for February. Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine featuring the Paper Smooches Bees Dies and a punny sentiment.

- I cut and assembled the bees.
- I created and printed the sentiment on my computer and cut it with a die in the now-retired Avery Elle Scalloped & Pierced Hearts die set.
- I used a 4 1/4″ square die from Lil’ Inker to cut the patterned paper background (Pebbles 6″ x 6″ pad from several years ago).

Snow Much Love

Hello from the snowy Pacific Northwest! We received almost a foot of snow overnight. Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine created with the Marianne Design Eline’s Penguin and Igloo & Mountain sets (I purchased the sets from 123 Stitch).

I paired the assembled penguins and igloo with a sentiment that I created on my computer and cut with a snow slope die.

Patterned paper from my stash filled in the background.

Hope your week is off to a terrific start!
