I love the Easter stamp set that is in the big catalog, "EVERYBUNNY". It was new last year and I was so glad when they had it in the catalog again this year. The bunnies are so cute. The images are perfect for a small kids card and for those who are kids at heart.
This is such a quick and easy card. I used Almost Amethyst, Pretty in Pink, and Daffodil Delight because those colors seem so Springy and Eastery to me. If you look closely, you can see flowers being thrown out of the hot air balloon. I tried to keep with those flowers when I placed 3 flowers in opposite corners of the card. For the background I used the Chevron Embossing Folder which ties back to the zig zag on the hot air balloon. Even though it is simple, it would make a great card for anyone.
If you are interested in attending my card buffet, contact me. I will give you more specifics on date and time on Monday. I need to work a few things out first.
Well although is supposed to be a no grandchildren and a relaxation day for Grandma, but it turned into a 2 grandson day. Last minute meetings for their mom. Hopefully during nap time, I can get a few things done. Hopefully the rain will stop and then we can all get outside for a bit. Enjoy the day!
Here is another card that I came up with for the Easter Card Buffet. I tried to come up with cards that would use different stamp sets. I also have seen a number of cards that are using punch art to create Easter bunnies. So this card uses punch art to come up with this cute backside view of the bunny. Again on this card I used a pearls for his little tail and also for the centers of the flowers.
I used Calyspo Coral, Whisper White and Lucky Limeade for the color scheme for this card. The DSP is called "FLORAL DISTRICT". I always liked this DSP and it just seemed springy enough to use on this Easter Card.
Well another Grandma day. I start out with 1 and then at noon the next baby comes. Then before dinner I go and pickup the 3rd one at daycare. So today will be a very busy day until their mommies come and pick them up. But I am not complaining, I love spending time with my boys. I know they will not be little forever and I am enjoying them while I can. Enjoy your day!
I have been spending the last few days trying to get some cards done for my Easter card buffet and along with babysitting. This week it has not gone all that smoothly. John was off snowmobiling this past week. And trying to watch the kids especially when you are watching more than one at a time, can be a challenge. Well enough of excuses, let's get to the cards.
This is one of the cards that I am offering at my card buffet. I used one of the new Single Stamps "EARS TO YOU". When I saw these bunnies, I thought of chocolate rabbits. So I wanted to use Early Espresso for card stock and ink. I also wanted to use a very pastel pink. When I was done, it seemed to need a little bit more so I added pearls to their little behinds for their fluffy tails.
Although it is very simple, I like it. Those little bunnies are adorable. A reminder that this single stamp is available until the end of March. You still have time to order it before Easter and be able to make some Easter cards with it. Well today is a one grandson day. I only am watching the smallest guy today so hopefully it will be a calm day. Enjoy the day!
This is the last of the three cards that we made for my February Technique Classes. This card took me the longest to come up with. It took a couple of days because I kept changing colors, position of shapes, and choice of Embossing Folders. This technique is called "Embossed Embossing".
This card uses a number of products which are FREE from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Just a reminder that this is the promotion where you can choose a free item from the brochure for every $50 worth of products that you spend. The Embossing Folder and the Stamp Set on this card are just 2 of the items that you can choose for FREE.
I really like the way this finally came out. I like the color combination. This is my favorite color combination...Island Indigo, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, and Calypso Coral. I really will miss these colors when they retire this year. These 4 colors are from the 2011-13 In Color collection. So I guess I will be using the combination a lot until they go away. Got to get some organizing done today so I will be busy. Enjoy the day!
This is the second card that we will be making at my technique classes. It uses the "SPLIT NEGATIVE" technique. The one tip to use this technique is that you need to use a solid image stamp to get the best results. I know that when you hear the word negative you think more of black and white but you can use any color to create the effect. This card could be used for teens, males or females. I think it is a very versatile card to give to anyone.
I am still not feeling well so this is another short post. Hopefully over the weekend I can shake it. Enjoy your weekend!

Sorry I have been missing but I finally caught what my family has been passing around to each other for the past 2 months. And did I get hit hard with it! Could barely talk and cough cough cough all day. I tried to rest my 3 little boys would not allow that to happen. So after they would leave I went straight to bed. Today I am feeling a bit better so I wanted to get in a quick post while I still was feeling OK.
I love this card. What I love is the absence of color. to me it looks so delicate and ladylike. The light pink colors just add to this really fresh and dainty look. This card used the "MASKING" technique and uses the Delicate Details Lace Tape from the Spring Catalog. If you would like to attend one of my technique classes and learn how to create this card, there is still room. My classes this month will be held on:
Saturday February 16 @ 9-11:30 AM
Tuesday February 19 @ 9:15-11:45 AM
Wednesday February 20 @ 7-9:30PM
I was very surprised how this card turned out because in my head it did not start off as a card with a vintage look. I hope you like it. Today there will be no babies to watch so I intend to relax and rest so hopefully I start feeling better. Enjoy the day!
