Hippity Hoppity! Easter Card by Jen

Hippity Hoppity! 

Hello! Jen here today and I'm popping in with a last minute Easter card that I just created!

This card uses the following products:

Spring Pile Up Stamp Set

Spring Pile Up Die Set

Music Notes Stencil

Hills & Grass Stencil

Basic Frames Die Set

Frames & Flags Die Set

Happy Easter Paper Pack

I started out by coloring the adorable image of the lamb, bunny and chick all stacked up from the Spring Pile Up Stamp Set. I colored them with copic markers using neutral colors with pops of yellow, purple and green. I had fun adding little dots to the lambs fur to make him look fluffy!

Next, I created a fun background for the image. I cut out the stitched rectangle using the Basic Frames Die Set to hold my scene. I used the Hills & Grass Stencil with green ink for the hill on the bottom. Then I grabbed our newMusic Notes Stencil and used it to fill in the sky with blue music notes! I knew I wanted to use the sentiment "Hippity hoppity Easter's on its way!" on the card and I every time I stamp that the song goes through my head so I thought music notes would be a fun touch!

I stamped the sentiment onto a yellow banner (cut using the Frames & Flags Die Set). Then I picked a piece of paper from the new Happy Easter Paper Pack. I thought the purple bunny print tied in perfectly with both the image and the purple I used on the tulip and eggs!

Then I just assembled everything together and the adorable easter card is complete! I had so much fun playing with all of these products!

I hope you enjoyed this project and have a wonderful Easter!

Hoppy Easter Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Hoppy Easter!

Spring is nearly here and we're getting in the mood for sending hoppy Easter wishes with this fun card by Tatiana! 

To create this card she stamped the cute bunny with his butt poking out of the flower pot from our Bunny Hop Stamp Set. This set also includes some fun easter eggs and she stamped a bunch of those too. She colored all the images using copic markers, added white gel pen accents and then fussy cut them out by hand. 

For her card base she created a fun spring scene. She started by using our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut the panel with the scalloped edge. She filled the top of the card with lovely pink clouds, using our Clouds Stencil with a light colored ink. She inked the bottom of the card a light green and then used our Land Borders Die Set to add partially cut a grass line that is perfectly for tucking those easter eggs behind! 

For the sentiment, she used the word "hoppy" from Bunny Hop Stamp Set and paired it with the die cut "Easter", cut using our Spring Pile Up Die Set! 

Are you ready for spring crafting yet? We hope this card has inspired you to get hoppin' on making those Easter cards!

Happy Easter Card by Zsofia Molnar

 

Happy Easter!!

Today we are hopping over to share this adorable Easter card by Zsofia. 

This card features and adorable bunny theme using just neutral colors for a fun Easter Greeting! She starts out by coloring bunny from our Bitty Bunnies Stamp Set in neutral browns. She cut the image out using the coordinating Bitty Bunnies Die Set. She also cut the "Happy Easter" Sentiment out using the bonus die from the Spring Pile Up Die Set. She added some ink to the bottoms of the letters to give it a fun dimension. Next, she cut out a scalloped oval using our new Oval Frames Die Set. The bunny and sentiment fit perfectly inside the oval together! She framed this oval with a larger oval cut from vellum, also using the Oval Frames Die Set. 

For her card base she created that fun bunny pattern using our Bunny Tails Stencil Set. This set is two pieces so it makes creating the two color pattern easy. First she inked up the stencil with the bunny silhouettes using a dark brown ink over kraft paper. Then she used the second stencil with the bunny tails with texture paste. What a fun way to add dimension to the background!

She really kept the color palette minimal on this, using just tones of browns and white. A piece of kraft toned bakers twine across the top with a bit of gold finishes the project nicely!

We hope you are inspired to create some Easter cards of your own! Why not try just using one or two colors for a beautiful and subtle look?

Easter Egg Treat Box by Ellen Haxelmans

 

A Special Easter Treat!

Today Ellen is sharing how you can decorate a simple treat box to make a special Easter treat! 

She started out by stamping the adorable image of the bunny and Easter basket from our Hop Into Spring Stamp Set. She used fun spring colors and added extra dots to the rabbits fur for a fun special detail! The image was cut out using the coordinating Hop Into Spring Stamp Set. 

She framed this image by using the decorative square die from our Frames Squared Die Set and cutting out a piece of yellow polka dotted paper from our Springtime Paper Pad. Then she adhered this to the top of a cute little purple easter egg holder. So cute!

Don't forget to embellish the inside:

Inside the lid, she added fun custom sentiment. The letters to spell "Happy" were cut out of a blue polka dot paper from our Springtime Paper Pad using our Essential Alphabet Die Set. The speech bubble was cut out of a yellow polka dot paper from our Springtime Paper Pad using our Speech Bubbles Die Set. The word "easter" is from the Spring Pile Up Die Set. 

What a special way to present a treat!

Piles of Springtime Smiles Card by Zsofia Molnar

Piles of Springtime Smiles!

This card by Zsofia  is perfect for spring! She combines our adorable Spring Pile Up Stamp Set with our new Baa Stamp Set for a perfect combination of fun spring images! 

The center image of the sheep stacked with the bunny and chick is from our Spring Pile Up Stamp Set. She colors this image with fun bright spring colors and uses the coordinating Spring Pile Up Die Set to cut it out. She adds an additional lamb on either side of the center image using stamps from the new Baa Stamp Set and adding a chick to each of their heads. She also colors a bunch of little flowers from our Hoppy Greetings Stamp Set  and cuts them out with the coordinating Hoppy Greetings Die Set add to the scene. 

The scalloped background panel was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set and she adds color to it with distress inks, adding fun black and blue paint splatters too! She also adds the sentiment from the Spring Pile Up Stamp Set, embossed in white onto a black banner that was also cut out using the Frames & Flags Die Set.

Isn't it cute how these two sets work perfectly together!?

We hope that you enjoyed this fun card by Zsofia! You can find more of Zsofia's creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Safsafdesign.

Easter Card and Treat Box by Ellen Haxelmans

Happy Easter Card and Treat Box!

Today Ellen created an adorable set of Easter projects that would be perfect to send as a little Easter gift to a loved one! Both projects feature the bunnies from our new Hop into Spring Stamp Set.


For the card, she chose the image of the bunny with the Easter basket, coloring it with copic markers. She cut the images out using the coordinating Hop into Spring Die Set.  She created some grass for the bunny to sit in using our Land Borders Die Set and added a sunny sky with our Sunscape Stencil. She also used rounded corner and scalloped square frames using our Frames Squared Die Set. The "Happy Easter" was added on using the bonus die cut sentiment from our Hop into Spring Die Set.

For the treat box, she chose the image of the bunny hugging an Easter egg and colored it using copic markers. She cut the image out using the coordinating Hop into Spring Die Set. A layer of grass for the bunny to sit in was added using our Land Borders Die Set and flowers were added to the box using our Petite Flower Stencil. The sentiment was added on, stamped onto a bubble from our Speech Bubbles Die Set.

On the backside of the box, a window was added using the ticket shaped die from the Framework Die Set so that you can see the treats inside!

Tips on creating these fun projects!

Below we have some tips from Ellen on how she created the fun treat box and card:

1. I die cut the boxes first then used the ticket shaped die from the Framework Die Set to cut out the window. I used the Petite Flower Stencil to create a pretty flower pattern. Next I cut out the grass using the Land Borders Die Set and inked it with Distress ink.
2. I colored the images with  Copic Markers: E37, E35, E33 and E31 (bunny), YR09, YR07, YR04, Y04, Y02, Y00, Y38, Y35, Y08 (chicks

1.  Just like I did for the box,  I first cut out all the elements I needed to create the scene. I used the scalloped square from the  Frames Squared Die Set, the grass using the Land Borders Die Set and the sentiment using the Hop into Spring Die Set. I added the sun to the yellow square using the Sunscape Stencil with distress ink  o create a happy bright day.
2. I colored the bunny and basket from the Hop into Spring Stamp Set and teh eggs from the Newton's Easter Basket Stamp Set using the following copic markers: E37, E35, E33 and E31 (bunny), E79, E59 and E57 (basket), YR09, YR07, YR04, Y04, Y02, Y00, YG05, YG01, YG00, RV06, RV04, RV02, V06, V05, V04, V01(easter eggs) Y38, Y35, Y08 (chicks)
