Triple the Cuteness Easter Card

Hello! Easter is a great time to embrace all things cute and colorful, and my latest card does just that! This playful creation features three Polaroid-style snapshots of adventurous bunnies behind the wheel, with each car in a different color combo — green, purple, and pink. The overlapping snapshots add a fun, dynamic feel, while the cheerful “hippity hoppity” sentiment makes it unmistakably Easter. I used a combination of Spellbinders products to bring this scene to life.

- Create a 5″ x 7″ card base and cover with patterned paper.
- Cut the photo frames with the Memory Frames die. Back with Waterfall cardstock.
- BetterPress the All Seasons Spring sentiment in black ink and cut with the coordinating die.
- Cut bunnies, cars, and balloon with dies in the Go Kart Go set. Assemble as required. I shared a card featuring the Go Kart Go set HERE.
- Adhere the bunnies inside the frames. Arrange frames on card base and adhere.
- Embellish scene with the assembled Go Kart Go balloon and clouds cut with the On Cloud Nine set.
- Add sentiment with foam squares.

Step Into Spring with a Bunny Easter Card

Hello! With Groundhog Day in the rearview mirror, I am looking forward to spring and Easter. With this month’s Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Dancin’ Hoppy Bunnies Everywhere set, I created a sweet spring-themed design featuring a girl bunny ready to celebrate the season in style. This charming set lets you dress up the bunny in different looks, making it a fun and versatile addition to your card-making stash.

- Cover an A2-size card base with spring-themed patterned paper.
- With the largest die in the Essential Stylish Ovals set, cut white cardstock. Use the next smaller die in the set, cut spring-themed patterned paper. Add to card base.
- Cut the bunny, eggs, sentiment, and accessories with dies in the Large Die of the Month set.
- Add the bunny and other elements with dot and foam adhesive to the card front.

Tim Holtz Blooming Into Spring

Hello! It is hard to believe that Easter is already in our rear-view mirror and the calendar has been turned to April. I am sharing a spring-themed card using several Tim Holtz die sets paired with a sentiment in the Spring Shadows stamp set. I shared another spring-themed card with Tim Holtz supplies HERE.

- Stamp Spring Shadows sentiment on Waterfall cardstock. Cut panel with the A2-size die in the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set. Add to card base.
- To create flowers and leaves, cut textured cardstock with the Modern Floristry and Brushstroke Flowers 2 sets. (I almost always cut Tim Holtz flowers from inked cardstock; for simplicity, I cut these from textured cardstock.) Assemble.
- To create the barrel, cut Light Brown Woodgrain cardstock and Brushed Silver cardstock with dies in the Potted die. Add dimension by applying Walnut Stain and Black Soot ink. Assemble.
- Add assembled barrel and floral elements to card front with foam adhesive.

Waddle You Know? Friendship Card

Hello! I am delighted to share a friendship card created with the Sunny Studio Stamps Puddle Jumpers stamp set with coordinating die set. With watercoloring, I brought the images – a girl in a ducky raincoat, her froggy umbrella, duck, and ducklings – to life.

- Begin by covering an A2-size card base with patterned paper in the DoodleBug Design Gingham and Linen pad.
- Stamp the Puddle Jumpers images in Versafine on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper and heat set. Color the images with watercoloring mediums of choice. Once dry, cut with coordinating dies.
  Zig Pale Pink (28), Light Green (41), May Green (47), Scarlet (23), Summer Sun (503), Bright Yellow (52), Orange (70), Lemon Yellow (51); Tombow Light Apricot (850), Tan (942), Dusty Rose (772).
- Cut an oval from white cardstock (I used the retired Spellbinders Fancy Edge Ovals die set). Create a sky and base by sponging on Distress Inks. Stamp the Puddle Jumpers sentiment. Mat the oval with a scalloped oval (same die set). Add oval assembly to card base.
- Add the watercolored images with dot and foam adhesive.
