Happy Easter!

This adorable bunny is hopping down the bunny trail to wish you a Happy Easter!  If you didn’t get a chance to grab him before the punch went on back order, have no fear, he is carrying over to the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!

Easter Bunny, Easter, Stampin' Up!, #JanAprilMini2023

Isn’t he so cute?  For this card, I paired him with the Country Gingham Designer Series Paper in the January-April Mini as well as the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper from the On-Line Exclusives.  These paper packs are perfect for spring cards.

The bunny is stamped in Jet Black StaZon ink and colored with Watercolor Pencils – Early Espresso for the body and Flirty Flamingo for the nose and ears.  A blender pen is used to blend the pencil.   The butterfly is a mix of Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight.

The base of the card is Sweet Sorbet measuring 5 1/2″ x 7″, scored at 2 3/4″ to form the front panel.  A layer of Blushing Bride card stock measuring 2 5/8″ x 5 3/8″ is attached to the front panel and a piece measuring 1 3/8″ x 5 3/8″, is adhered to the inside back panel on the right hand side.  The Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper is used on the front panel and measures 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ while the Country Gingham DSP measures 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ and is placed on the inside back panel on the right hand side.

The bunny panel measures 3″ x 3″, and is matted on a piece of Sweet Sorbet measuring 3 1/8″ x 3 1/8″.   The grass is stamped in Jet Black StaZon and colored with the Garden Green Watercolor Pencil.

A piece of Basic White card stock measuring 2 1/2″ x 5 3/8″ is placed on the inside for a written message.

I hope you enjoy your Sunday!

Happy To Have You As My Friend

Hi!  It’s been a rough week for me and there are a few people who have shown their support which I truly appreciate.  This card is for them.

Hello Irresistible, Design Series Paper, Dry Embossing, Friendship, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #onlineexclusives2023

I love the added texture that using an Embossing Folder adds to this card.  The Designer Series Paper and the Basic White background are all embossed with the Cross Hatch from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders released as part of the On Line Exclusives this month.

The dimensions for this card:

  • Base – Pretty Peacock (returning in May) – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded
  • Basic White – 4″ x 5 1/4″, embossed with the Crosshatch folder
  • Pretty Peacock mats: 2 1/4″ x 3 3/4″, 1 3/4″ x 3″, 3″ x 1 14″
  • Designer Series Paper: 2″ x 3 1/2″, 1 1/2″ x 2 3/4″, embossed with Crosshatch folder
  • Basic White: 2 3/4″ x 1″ (for sentiment)

The sentiment is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink.  A few Frosted Dots were added as an accent (also available as part of the Online Exclusives).

I did use dimensionals to help offset the layers on the right hand side of the second DSP panel and the sentiment.

I hope this inspires you to try adding texture to your cards with Embossing folders – I love how this card turned out.

Hello Irresistible

Hi!  Today I am featuring the new On-Line Exclusive bundle, Irresistible Blooms.  In case you missed it, on March 1, Stampin’ Up! released quite a few products in the On-Line store and this suite is part of it.

Hello Irresistible, OnLine Exclusive, Hello, Flowers, Friendship, Split Card, Stampin' Up!, SU!

I started with Flirty Flamingo Card Stock for my base – measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded.

I then cut a piece of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper 4″ x 5 1/4″.  I also cut a piece of Basic White card stock the same size.  The Basic White was die cut using the Split Card Textures dies.  This is attached to the Designer Series Paper using Stampin’ Seal, and then attached to the card base.

The flower is stamped in Versamark ink on Flirty Flamingo card stock, sprinkled with White Embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.  The leaves are stamped in Versamark ink on Pear Pizzazz card stock, sprinkled with White Embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.  The vine wreath, flower and leaves are die cut using the coordinating dies.

The sentiment is stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink on the lower right corner.  The wreath is attached using Stampin’ Seal.  The leaves are also attached using Stampin’ Seal.  The flower is attached with dimensionals.

A very pretty set with great sentiments to enhance any paper crafter’s tooi suite.  To shop the On-Line exclusives, click here.
