Easter Bunny Two Ways

I have two cards to share today.  I'm using the Easter Bunny Set.  This fun set is too cute to resist!  I'm making two cards all with the exact same supplies but two different layouts.  I'd love to know which you like better.  Both cards were also made with scraps and pieces that were lying around my desk.  With the new catalog on the horizon I'm using up scraps and bits and pieces that have been left over from other cards.  Because these supplies were all cut these cards came together very quickly.  

I'm using the Easter Bunny Set but these don't have to be Easter cards.  Stretch your supplies to work year round for you.  There is a coordinating punch that will punch out this sitting bunny but you don't need to punch to make these.  I fussy cut mine.  

Each card has the same layers, Pumpkin Pie card base, Basic White layer, Vellum Basics layer.  All followed with the shimmer paper, stamped carrots, bunny and greeting.  These are basic layout too.  You can adapt these layout for any set or bundle.  

I love them both, I don't know which I prefer.  Both are adorable and would brighten anyone's day!  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Taco Fiesta Diagonal Fun Fold Card-VIDEO

I'm sooo excited to share this adorable card with you!  Back in December I shared this card featuring the Playing In The Rain Bundle.  You guys loved that one and it's one of my more popular videos so I thought let's recreate it with a new set and DSP!  I'm pulling out two favorites from the Mini Catalog for this one!  I'm using the Taco Fiesta Set-LOVE LOVE LOVE this one! And I'm using the Flowers and More DSP, this DSP is amazing!  It's a host exclusive DSP so you can only earn it with Stampin' Rewards when your order or a parties orders reaches a minimum of $150.  There's still time to get this DSP before the catalog ends.  Contact me today to learn more about how to earn it! 

I think the beauty of this card is that it's a two for one card.  Because to the strategic way we're going to cut the cardstock and DSP you'll end up with supplies to make two cards so why not make two!  Your supplies are already out!  Plus it's so cute!  I used Stampin' Blends to color my images.  There are no dies so you have to fussy cut them, but I think they're worth it!  

I used the In Color Glimmer Paper to add some details and sparkle.  I added some gold sequins from the Pastel Sequins.  These are in the mini catalog, I LOVE them!  They go so well with this DSP and stamp set too.  Finally I finished the card with some Sweet Sorbet Baker's Twine.  I LOVE this baker's twine!  

This card has a fun diagonal opening that while looks complicated is really easy.  With some quick scoring and cutting this card will come together quickly!  

Sweet Sorbet Cardstock 8 1/2" x 11" 

Score on the short side at 4 1/4"

Score on the long side at 5 1/2" 

Trim in half diagonally

DSP two pieces 5 1/4" x 4" trim in half diagonally

Petal Park Loved Today & Always

Today I'm sharing the second card my team got to make at my team event over the weekend.  This one features the Petal Park Bundle.  It's a great punch bundle and makes amazing and beautiful cards!  There are no greetings in the Petal Park Bundle so I paired it up with some greetings from the Through It Together Set.  

My leaves are stamped in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen the flower are stamped in Mango Melody, the solid part of the flower is stamped off first.  I pulled in some DSPs from the Mini Catalog.  The Delicate Desert and Dry Brushed Metallic papers add so much fun texture and dimension.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Rhino Ready Bundle Z-Fold Card

Over the weekend I held an informal team event open house.  Of course I had to have some make and takes for them.  This is one of them.  I can't get enough of these sweet rhinos from the Rhino Ready Bundle.  They're part of the new Online Exclusives.  I also pulled in two of the new embossing folders also from the Online Exclusives.  

If you're not into coloring the rhinos or maybe you're making a bunch of these cards consider stamping on colored cardstock instead of Basic White.  The color is already there.  We used a white watercolor pencil from the Watercolor Pencils to add color only to his horn and toenails.  This is a quick way to get some cutie hippos without all the time coloring.  

This is a fun Z-Fold card.  I love that it's paired up with the Like An Animal DSP.  You can showoff both the gold and matt sides of this DSP!  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

20th Anniversary Celebration-Lighting The Way Sliding Card-VIDEO

Today I'm wrapping up my 20th Anniversary Celebration Series with an amazing and beautiful card featuring the Lighting The Way Bundle in the Mini Catalog.  This bundle wasn't on my list initially but I've seen amazing things done with it and I had to get it!  The dies are truly amazing!  Don't miss this one!  Today we're making a slider card.  There are so many possibilities with this slider card, I can't wait to share with you!  I have giveaways today to celebrate my 20th Anniversary so make sure to check the video for how to enter!  

My background on my card is ink blended with Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grapes Inks.  At the time of typing this the Fresh Freesia Ink Pad and Gorgeous Grape Ink Refill was on low inventory, if these are colors you love get them now!  I'm not sure if they're part of the color refresh but it's better to be safe than sorry.  The Real Red lantern pops off of that purple background!!

I mentioned how amazing the dies in the Lighting The Way Bundle are.  Check out the detail on those fireflies and lantern.  It is so easy to layer up these dies and images.  I added some shining details to my fireflies with a circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies and some Wink of Stell.  Keep your eyes on that bottom firefly. I mentioned this was a slider card, when you pull the card on the top or inside, the firefly slides up along with the card.  So many possibilities here!  

The card will not come fully out, so plan your stamping/greetings inside the card accordingly.  You can always use the back for more writing room if you need it.  

To make yours:

Crushed Curry 9" x 5 1/2" 

On the long side score at 4 1/4" and 8 1/2"

Basic White

5 1/4" x 4"

5" x 3 34/"

1/2" x 3 3/4"

1" x 2"

Vellum Basics

5 1/4" x 4" 

Real Red, Crushed Curry, So Saffron, Smoky Slate, Vellum Basics and Basic White for die cutting

Once the front is assembled place the card base into the cut and emboss machine with the 1/2" score line on the right side.  Line up the card at 7" and cut a slit in the card front about 1" from the top and from the bottom. 

I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.  Make sure to check out my video for all the details on this card.  Subscribe to my channel while you're there so you never miss a video.

Easter Bunny Little Debbie Cake Box

Do I have the CUTEST box for you today!!!!  Usually on Wednesdays I bring you a fun Facebook Live project.  This week is my kids spring break and we have lots planned.  But I still have an amazing and adorable box for you this week!  I'm featuring the Easter Bunny Set and I couldn't be more in love with these adorable bunnies! 

My bunnies are stamped in Memento Black then colored with Stampin' Blends, see the supply list for all the colors I used.  The images are all fussy cut, there are no dies for this one.  There is a punch that coordinates with one of the bunny images, that punch is not available right now to purchase, but I didn't even use that image on this box so the punch wouldn't help you with this project anyway.  No worries, you can fussy cut these images.  

I love the bright spring colors on this card and the sweet bunny faces. My box is tied closed with some Silver Threaded Twine, I love the rustic charm it gives this box. I used Blending Brushes and some Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party inks for the background of my image.  I love the soft sky and grass illusion it leaves.  I finished it with some sparkle from the Iridescent Rhinestones.  

This is a larger box and you can fill it with lots of treats!  In my box I have the Little Debbie Easter Basket Cakes.  You can find where these cakes are sold in your area with the Little Debbie Snack Finder.  Simply put your zip code in and what snack you're looking for and it will tell you where to shop.  

Make your own box:

Polished Pink 8 1/2" x 11" 

On the short side score at 1 1/2" from each side

On the long side score at 1", 1 3/4", 4 3/4", 6 1/4", 9 1/4" and 10"

Daffodil Delight

5 1/4" x 2 3/4"

Crumb Cake

4 7/8" x 2 3/8"
