Hogs & Kisses Card by Amanda Wilcox

Hogs & Kisses! 

Today we are sending Hogs and Kisses on this adorable card by Amanda! 

This card features our:

Argyle Stencil Set
Oval Frames Die Set
Oink Stamp Set

Amanda colored that sweet duo of piggies from our Oink Stamp Set and cut them out using the coordinating Oink Die Set.  She added some gloss to the feet, snouts and polka dots on the bandana. So cute! 

She layered the pigs onto a scalloped oval that was cut out using our Oval Frames Die Set. She also stamped the message "hogs & kisses" onto the oval. 

For the background she used our Argyle Stencil Set. This is a fun two piece stencil set! One stencil has the diamonds and one has the stitching so it's easy to create two color patterns! 

We love how sweet and simple this card is! It would be perfect for sending a happy hello to special friend or loved one!

St Patrick's Day Card by Donna Idlet

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today we are going green and celebrating St. Patrick's Day with this card by Donna!

This card features:
Newton's Lucky Clover Stamp Set
Springtime Paper Pack
Card Layout 5 Die Set

To start, Donna stamped and colored the adorable Newton holding a big clover and the charming hat from our Newton's Lucky Clover Stamp Set. She colored the images using alcohol markers. She also stamped a few extra clovers in green and embossed the horseshoe in gold. Everything was cut out using the coordinating Newton's Lucky Clover Die Set. 

For the background Donna used our Card Layout 5 Die Set. She cut the frame from green cardstock. Then she cut the same die again using the green striped paper from the Springtime Paper Pad. 

Last, she added the St. Patrick's Day message, stamped from the Newton's Lucky Clover Stamp Set.

What a purr-fect way to send some luck this St. Patrick's Day!

Chocolate Bunny Easter Card by Larissa Heskett

Happy Easter!

Today we are sharing a sweet Easter card by Larissa. This card is filled with adorable Easter images, including chocolate bunnies! 

This project features the following Easter products:

Bunny Silhouettes Die Set

Easter Egg Builder Die Set

Spring Roundabout Stamp Set

Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set

The first thing you might notice about this card is those adorable "chocolate" bunnies! Larissa created those by cutting out the bunny shapes using our Bunny Silhouettes Die Set and inking the bunnies up with dark brown inks. She added on die cut tails created from felt to give them that adorable fuzzy look! She also die cut the carrot from the same Bunny Silhouettes Die Set and used orange and green inks to add color it. 

Between the two bunnies she created an Easter egg using our Easter Egg Builder Die Set. This die set includes a basic egg shape along with decorative layers and she made an adorable polka dot egg, adding glitter to the dots! 

Behind the bunnies Larissa used our Spring Roundabout Stamp Set to add in a big circle of Easter icons. She cut this image and the scalloped circle behind it out using our Circle Frames Die Set. In front of the bunnies she added the message. She cut out a white banner using our Banner Trio Die Set and stamped and embossed the words from our Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set to create the "Happy Easter" greeting. 

Behind everything is a piece of purple polka dot paper from our Pastel Basics Paper Pad. 

Who's craving chocolate bunnies and jelly beans now?

Happy Spring Card by Diane Morales

Happy Spring!!

Spring is nearly here and today we are celebrating with an adorable card by Diane! This sweet spring themed card combines our new Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set with our Easter Postage Sampler Stamp Set! 

Diane stamped and colored little brown bunnies using the Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set and pink lilies using the Easter Postage Sampler Stamp Set. She cut the images out using their coordinating dies (Springtime Bunnies Die Set and Easter Postage Sampler Die Set). 

For her card she used the new Card Layout 6 Die Set. She cut the frame from white cardstock and used the polka dot paper from the Happy Easter Paper Pack to cut the inside panels. Over that she layered a scalloped circle (cut using the Circle Frames Die Set) and layered the bunnies and flowers over the circle. She also added a banner (cut using the Banner Trio Die Set). She added some fun splatters to the banner for added texture and stamped the message "Happy Spring" using the Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set. 

This fun combination of stamps and dies makes such and adorable spring card!

Easter Egg Shaker Card by Farhana Sarker

Easter Shaker Card!

Today we are sharing an Easter themed shaker card by Farhana featuring our Easter Egg Builder Die Set. 

To create the shaker window she cut out two rows of easter eggs directly from her white card front using the Easter Egg Builder Die Set. She set aside the decorative centers while she made the shaker. She inked a paper panel with a rainbow of distress ink colors to layer behind the openings. Between the two layers she added a clear pocket filled with pretty sparkles. Then she adhered the Easter egg patterns back into the egg cut outs to finish the shaker windows.

She added the "Easter blessings" message from the Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set to finish her project. 

Making this sweet Easter card into a sparkly shaker card gives it an extra special touch!

3 Cards Using Card Layout Die Cuts + Video with Jen

Trio of Easter Cards using new Dies

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing three Easter cards that I created featuring our brand new dies. 

For these cards I used the following products:

Card Layout 6 Die

Corner Flip Die Set

Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set

Springtime Bunnies Die Set

Happy Easter Paper Pack

Card 1: Card Layout 6

My first card focuses on the Card Layout 6 Die.

For this card I used the Card Layout 6 Die 4 times. First ,I cut it from white cardstock and used just the frame. Next, I cut it from two pieces of patterned paper (carrots and basketweave) from the Happy Easter Paper Pack. Last, I cut it from light green cardstock for the center spot. On the last cut I used a piece of cardstock that was 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 and placed it just over the center since I didn't need the frame or side panels. 

I used our Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set for the cute bunny image and also for the sentiment.

Card 2: Card Layout 6 + Corner Flip Die

For my next card I added in the Corner Flip Die Set.

On this card I used the Card Layout 6 Die again, but this time I only cut it out twice. I cut it once from yellow cardstock and once from white. The yellow will be the frame and the white is for the center piece. 

Next, I used the Corner Flip Die Set to cut out the side panels. This die has two pieces and each piece includes a score line angled in one of the corners. I cut out both pieces twice, using a piece of patterned paper from the Happy Easter Paper Pack. Since the pattern on this card doesn't have a specific direction, I could place the dies anywhere on the paper. 

After the pieces were cut I folded them on the score lines. This flips the paper to one side and each piece will now fit into one of the openings on the sides of the frame. 

I used our Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set for the bunny images and also for the sentiment.

Card 2: Card Layout 6 + Corner Flip Die (2 paper patterns)

For my last card I used two different patterned papers. 

The steps to this card are the same as before:

1. Cut outer frame and inner diamond piece using the Card Layout 6 Die 
2. Cut out 4 pieces patterned paper using the Happy Easter Paper Pack using the Corner Flip Die Set.
3. Fold the die cut pieces on their score lines and assemble everything together
4. Add on the sentiment and bunny using the Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set

But here's where it's different.
At step 2, I chose two different papers and one of the papers that I chose (the pink bunnies) is a vertical print. So you need to cut it like this:

1. Choose 1 of the two dies from the Corner Flip Die Set.
2. Place your paper with the pattern vertical and place the die vertically over the top. When you die cut, the angled line should be face down on the bottom.
3. Cut the same paper again with the pattern vertically and the die vertically but rotate the die 180 degrees so that the angled score line is at the top. 
4. Repeat steps 2-3 with the second die piece from the Corner Flip Die Set

Again, I finished the card by usingour Springtime Bunnies Stamp Set for the bunny and the sentiment.

It might seem like a lot to remember but once you give it a try it should make sense and is easy to do again. I've also created a video that you can watch to see the creation of these cards in more detail. 

I hope you enjoyed these projects today and are inspired to give these new die sets a try. It's so much fun to use BOTH sides of our patterned papers! I can't wait to try it with other paper packs!
