Easter Cards with Marie and Catherine

Hey Crafty Friends, Marie here. With Spring fast approaching, I am looking forward to another one of my favorite holidays of the whole entire year and that is Easter Sunday! When I was little, my mom would hide easter eggs all around the house and we would have Sunday mass and have a big family brunch right after. For my family, Easter is just as important as Christmas, and there would always be Easter cards and gifts exchanged! So this year, I will be giving my mom this Easter shadow box card featuring Sunny Studio Stamps' Chubby Bunny Stamps with elements from their Bunnyville Stamps. 

To begin the process of creating this card, I used a shadow box die from Heffy Doodle. I cut out all my shadow box pieces from Bristol Smooth cardstock paper. I then ink blended the outside of my box using Cotton Candy Ink from MFT, and Salvaged Patina Distress Ink for the inside as well as for the cloud stenciled background. For all my grass panels, I used my favorite grass colored ink combination in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. I went over all the grass panels with water droplets for some light texture. After inking my entire box, I put it together using double sided tape adhesive and Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue. 

Next, I stamped out all my images from the Chubby Bunny Stamp Set and Bunnyville stamps onto watercolor paper using Antique Linen Distress Ink. I colored all my images using Faber Castell Watercolor pencil. I then cut out all my images using the coordinating Chubby Bunny Dies and I fussy cut the carrot images from Bunnyville. The Bunnyville stamps also come with Bunnyville Dies. 

Finally, after coloring and die cutting, I played around with placement and adhered all my images inside my shadow box. I really love how this card came together! I love all the bright Spring Colors and how happy, playful,  and festive these adorable bunnies look! I can't wait to hand deliver this one to my mom this year! As always Crafty friends, thanks so much for joining me today on another card inspiration! Until next time, Happy Crafty Cardmaking!

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, and today I am sharing a fun easter basket card created with Eggs To Dye For Stamps and Layered Basket Stamps.

To start, I embossed a piece of white cardstock 3 ¾”W x 5” H with Lots of Dots Embossing folder. I then die cut a lacy frame with white cardstock from Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I adhered the frame onto the polka dot embossed background.

I stamped a basket with the Layered Basket Stamps using Pinkfresh Studio Ink Cubes- Urban Raincoat. I used three colors from the set, Misty Coast, Rocky Slope, and Metropolis. I splattered some Metropolis ink mixed with water onto the basket for added texture.

I stamped the eggs with the following Altenew inks and die cut the eggs with the coordinating dies, Eggs To Dye For Dies. For the blue and purple egg, I White Heat embossed the eggs after I stamped them.

Pink – Frosty Pink, Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious
Purple- Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields
Blue- Caribbean Sky

Next, I stamped the chick using light brown ink and colored it with Copic Markers listed in my blog link below.

For the sentiments, I White Heat embossed the sentiments onto a banner from Stitched Rectangle Dies and a tag from Stitched Oval 2 Dies. I added white brads to the oval tag on the basket. I adhered the eggs, chick, basket, and sentiment onto the polka dot background. I thought it would be fun to add some pink grass for the basket. I finished the card by adhering it onto a background with paper from Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 Paper.
