TWO SPRING TULIPS

Last Friday I promised something different from what I had been posting.  I'm getting a late start posting today, but this card and today's weather makes me think that SPRING may actually get here yet.  Weather is finally making a nice turn so hopefully Old Man Winter is gone!!!

This was such an easy design to color with my Copic markers.  The design was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored.  The piece was then trimmed down and mounted to the card base with foam dots.

EVERYBUNNY #4 AND #5

I think these will be the last two cards I post using the Everybunny stamp set.  I decided to show you both so that on Monday I can start off with something different.

 

I used the Labels Thinlits die to cut a piece of Blushing Bride card stock.  Then I carefully lined up a piece of the Blushing Bride dp to place on the left hand side and another coordinating piece on the right hand panel.  I already had this cute little bunny stamped and colored on one of the SU dies. 

 

Hope you have a great weekend planned.  Thank you for stopping by today!

EVERYBUNNY #3

Using the same colors as I had on yesterday's card,

I made this one but used the Stampin' Up! "tulip" embossing folder. 

 

Thank you for stopping by!

EVERYBUNNY #2

 

The main color for this card is the Stampin' Up! Pool Party.  I cut a piece of white card stock to 4" x 5 1/4" and ran it through the Cuttlebug with the SU Fancy Fan embossing folder.  A piece of the dotted Pool Party dp was added and then both pieces were added to the Pool Party card base.

 

I stamped the figures on white card stock and then colored them with a combination of Copic markers and SU markers.  Using Spellbinders dies, I cut and embossed the two pieces.  The bunny was added to a mat of Pool Party card stock.

 

Although I cannot get the Everybunny stamp set for you, I would be very happy to help you get any of the current Stampin' Up! products.  Just let me know what you would like to purchase.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

EVERYBUNNY #1

Today's card (and the next few cards I post) was using the retired Stampin' Up! set called Everybunny.  All of the stamps in the set are just too cute.

 

The card base is one of the Mermaid (Turquoise) Lawn Fawndamentals note cards.  I also have them in a Freshly Cut Grass (Green), Wild Rose (Pink) and Sunflower (Yellow).  They are just a bit smaller than the A2 size that I usually make.

 

I stamped the design with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored it with a mixture of Copic markers and SU markers.  I cut it out with a Spellbinders oval and mounted it onto a So Saffron piece of SU card stock.

TWO CARDS TODAY

Last week kind of got away from me.  I've been making lots of Easter cards mostly for the Independent Living Center where my mother lives, but others as well.

 

This is one that I made using the Stampin' Up! Backyard Basics stamps and dies sets.  This has been a really great set to make cards.  I used the SU  "tulip" embossing folder for the card base.   

 

 

Our Yahoo group had a color card swap using green and white.  This is the card I made to send to my partner. 

 

 First I used a Spellbinders Classic Square die to cut the window.    Then I ran the front of the card through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  I had the stamped design out last week to make the birthday cards so decided to use it again.   I stamped it in Garden Green on the white square that had been removed from the "window" and then matted it on Garden Green card stock.  I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and then cut the piece with one of the two-piece tags from Spellbinders.  The Green tag is the other die from that two-pieces that go together.

 

I'll try to get cards up each day this week.  (And I won't try to do an April Fool's for you tomorrow.)   Thank you for stopping by! 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER!

Cards for the guys are hard for me but I thought this one would work in brown and no flowers so I made three of them.  My mother's friend wanted birthday cards for her nephew and her son-in-law.  My brother has a birthday today so I sent one of them to him.

 

The embossing folder is from Sizzix.  The Chocolate Chp dotted dp is from Stampin' Up!  The stamp is from SU Pocket Silhouettes.  I used one of the other designs from that set to add a little decoration on the lower left hand corner inside.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!  Please be sure to stop back again tomorrow.
