Hi everyone,

today I'm sharing a sweet spring scene created with the adorable Bunnyville Stamps.

I started off with a lilac top folding A2 card base and trimmed down a piece of Bristol cardstock to be a bit smaller. For the background, I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron. I let the colors fade into the white and added ink splatters with a paint brush. When everything was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Spring Greetings mini set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I just love these cute bunnies and their little carrot house. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies and assembled the scene.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a beautiful day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Eggs To Dye For

Hi everyone,

today I'm sharing another Easter card made with the Eggs To Dye For Stamps. This time I used the sweet bunny and chick included in the set and created a Spring wreath out of die-cuts.

I started off with a light pink top-folding card base. Next, I ran a white cardstock panel through my die cutting machine with the Dapper Diamonds Embossing Folder.

I stamped the critters in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a white cardstock circle and I heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

For the wreath, I cut the loopy Snowflake Circle Frame Die from Kraft cardstock. The flowers and leaves dies are from the Botanical Backdrop Die set and I cut them from several cardstock scraps. Finally, I assembled my card and adhered three pink clay hearts.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a beautiful day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Layered Basket

Hi everyone,

Easter is only one month away, so I created a card for this occasion with the Layered Basket Stamps. Of course I filled the basket with a bunch of colorful Easter eggs using the Eggs To Dye For Stamps.

I started off with a light grey A2 card base and die cut the diagonal striped background (Frilly Frames Stripes Dies) along with the stitched rectangle (Frilly Frames Retro Petals Dies) out of white cardstock.

Next, I stamped the layers of the basket and eggs with dye inks (you can find the ink colors below) and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto a purple cardstock strip and heat embossed it in white. I also heat embossed the bow from the Lovable Llama set in silver and added it to the basket. Finally, I adhered everything with liquid glue.

Dye Inks used

Basket: Simon Says Stamp Fog, MFT Cement Gray

Eggs (Altenew inks): pink – Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious; yellow – Mango Smoothie, Warm Sunshine;
mint – Minty Mint, Sweet Leaf; green – Bamboo, Parrot; aqua – Dew Drops, Aqualicious;
purple – Lavender Fields, Deep Iris

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a beautiful day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • From One Bunny To Another

Hello everyone,

I created one more Easter card combining several Sunny Studio Stamps products. I turned the Easter eggs from the Chubby Bunny and the Chickie Baby set into balloons with the help of masking and the Floating By Stamps.

First, I did a soft background by sponging Distress Oxide Inks (Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold and Worn Lipstick) over self-made stencils that I cut with the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. I used the stitched rectangle die included in the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set to cut out my panel.

Next, I stamped the bunny in the basket, the balloons as well as the little birdies (Seasonal Tree Stamps) and the fence with grass border (Spring Scenes Stamps) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. Before adhering the images with foam tape, I stamped the balloon strings and sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink directly onto my cloud background. I also stamped the word 'bunny' with the Phoebe Alphabet Stamps and fussy cut it out with scissors leaving a small white border.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you all a HAPPY EASTER!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace

Hi everyone,

today I'm showcasing the Sunny Studio Stamps Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace Dies. The set comes with a gorgeous scalloped mat and a pretty eyelet lace background which can be used separately or together like I did on this Easter project.

I created a mini card by scoring and folding the scalloped panel in the middle. This size would work perfectly for place cards, too. Next, I partially die cut the eyelet lace pattern from the front side only and adhered a white cardstock piece behind it.

To decorate the front, I combined the cute Chickie Baby Stamps with the Chubby Bunny set. I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored them with my Copic Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. Finally, I assembled the little scene which I think would make a great decorative element on the Easter table.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Until next time!

DT Stempelgarten Challenge March

Hi peeps,

today starts a new Stempelgarten Challenge with the theme Easter is just around the corner.

I used the cute chicks and bunny from the Mama Elephant "Party Animals" set. I masked off the party hats and drew in the missing lines with a black Copic Multiliner pen.

I also stamped the carrot from the Mama Elephant "Honey Bunny" set and the easter egg from the Sunny Studio Stamps "Chickie Baby" set. Next, I colored all images with Copics and fussy cut them out with scissors.

For the background, I did some ink blending and stenciling. I masked off the bottom of the Bristol cardstock panel and blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers. I placed the Simon Says Stamp "Medium Dots" stencil over it and sponged through the same colors of ink to create a subtle pattern.

I stamped the Easter sentiment from Lawn Fawn "Easter Party" set in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with WOW! "Bluetiful" embossing powder. Finally, I adhered the images with foam tape.

You will have time until March 31st, 2020 to join the Stempelgarten Challenge and this is the prize you could win:

A craft package from the Stempelgarten Online Shop with a value of CHF 20.–.

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Chickie Baby

Hello everyone,

today the spotlight is on the Sunny Studio Stamps Chickie Baby Stamps. Aren't they the cutest?!

For the Distress Oxide Ink background, I blended together Shaded Lilac, Cracked Pistachio and Evergreen Bough. I also added water droplets and ink splatters.

I stamped the chickens, eggs and little accessories in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and did some Copic coloring. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images.

To fit the sentiment inside one of the Banner Basics Stamps, I slightly curved it. I did a bit of shading with grey Copics and used the matching die to cut it out.

I arranged the chickens in a row and placed the banner above them. To finish off my card, I adhered Pink & Purple Heart Confetti clay embellishments and sparkling clear sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a lovely day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • CardMaps April Sketch

Hi everyone,

this week Sunny Studio Stamps is also partnering up with Becky Fleck over at PageMaps which is a great free sketch resource for scrapbookers and cardmakers. Each of us was provided with one of the April 2019 CardMaps sketches.

This is what I came up with:

And here is the sketch I followed:

I loved playing with the Chubby Bunny Stamps again – they are soo cute! The tulip and the heart are included in the Spring Greetings set. I stamped all images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I created four little scenes for each bunny by die cutting the smallest of the Fancy Frames Square Dies from cardstock in spring colors. Behind the frames I put matching ink blended backgrounds which I made with Distress Oxide Inks. The patterned papers I used are from the Gingham Pastels 6x6 and the Spring Sunburst 6x6 paper packs.

It was so much fun to use a sketch for the card layout – I haven't done this in ages! So thanks for having us, Becky!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a relaxed Sunday!

DT Stempelgarten Challenge April

Good morning everyone,

only two more weeks and it's Easter and this it what's all about this month at the Stempelgarten Challenge.

I combined two Pure Innocence stamp sets by My Favorite Things for my Easter card. The girl, egg and sentiment are from the "Somebunny Sweet" set and the bunny, chick and butterfly are included in the "Spring Friends" set.

All images were stamped in Memento "Tuxedo Black" ink and colored with Copics. For my little spring scene, I sponged some pink clouds using the MFT "Cloud Stencil" and "Worn Lipstick" Distress Oxide Ink. I die cut a grass border from patterned paper with the MFT "Grassy Edges" Die-namics. I framed the scene by combining the stitched scalloped die from the MFT "Blueprints 27" set and one of the "A2 Rectangle STAX Set 2" dies. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with Ranger "Liquid Platinum" embossing powder. I finished off my card by adding some matching sequins.

Hello Bluebird • February Release • Easter Egg Hunt

Hi crafty friends,

only two more days and the new Hello Bluebird February Release will be available! Today I'm showcasing the sweet Easter Egg Hunt set.

I created a happy spring scene combining the cute images with some previously released products. I stamped the Country Gingham Background in light pink and die cut a grass border (Grassy Knoll Die) from green watercolor patterned paper.

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. To frame my scene, I cut the scalloped stitched die from the Gallery Frame #2 set from pink cardstock. Finally, I white heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of black cardstock which I die cut with the little banner that is included in the Stitched Tag Builder Die set.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you soon!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Chubby Bunny

Hello everyone,

I'm back again on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog with a new card showcasing the adorable Chubby Bunny Stamps. I just love their cute little faces!

At first, I created an A2 landscape top-folding card base from white cardstock. I used the Window Trio Square Dies to cut three openings into a panel of lilac cardstock (MFT «Grapesicle»). I also chose a stitched scalloped die (MFT «Stitched Scallop Basic Edges» Die-namics) to create a decorative border.

Next, I took a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock and marked where the windows would be with a pencil. I did some light handed ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks (Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender, Tumbled Glass). I picked one of the purple Gingham Pastels 6x6 Papers, cut it to size and adhered it at the bottom of my card base and popped up the window panel with foam tape.

I stamped the bunnies, sentiment banner and a little flower in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers (colors listed below). I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out and adhered them with foam squares.

Copic colors used

Aqua: BG10, BG11, BG32, BG45

Green: G40, YG11, YG13

Grey: C00, C0, C1, C3

Pink: RV10, RV02, RV55

Purple: V000, V01, V12, V15

the days are getting longer and warmer and we have the matching challenge going on over at the bastel-traum.ch blog. The new theme is «Easter/Spring».

 

This challenge will run until April 15th, 8:55 am CET (Central European Time).

Next, I created a little spring scene inside a polaroid combining an ink blended background and some die-cuts. I also used the gorgeous «Quilted Backdrop» in the background.

DT bastel-traum.ch Challenge #51

Good morning everyone,

it's time for a new challenge over at the bastel-traum.ch Blog with the theme «Easter/Polka Dots»

 

This challenge will run until April 15th, 8:55 am CET (Central European Time).

I'm totally in the mood for Spring and created this Easter card using the adorable bunnies from the Reverse Confetti «Hippity Hoppity» stamp set, that I got as a gift from my sweet friend Francine.

I colored the images (love the little accessories) with Copics and fussy cut them out. I created a circle shaped card using the Hero Arts «Nesting Circle Dies» and My Favorite Things Die-namics («Stitched Mini Scallop Circle», «Grass Edges») along with patterned papers by Lawn Fawn («Let's Polka In The Meadow») and MFT («Dots & Stripes Sorbet»).

I adhered the bunnies with foam tape and tucked the basket with easter eggs behind the grass. Finally, I white heat embossed the sentiment on navy cardstock and cut it using a MFT banner die («Tag Builder Blueprints 5»).

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Quick Easter Cards

Hi peeps,

when you're running out of time, you'll have to create some quick cards ;-)

Therefore Die Cutting and Heat Embossing are really helpful and time-saving techniques.

On my first card I stamped the chicken from Inkadinkado in VersaMark and heat embossed it with WOW! embossing powder in Copper.

I also did the same with the German Stampin' Up! sentiment which means «Easter Greetings». I really like how the Copper looks on the SU «Naturals White» cardstock that has some little speckles.


For my second card I die-cut a bunny (Poppystamps «Bunny Buddies») out of a easter egg (Whimsy Stamps «Egg»).

The cardstock in this beautiful «Rich Razzleberry» color is also from Stampin' Up!. I stamped the sentiment from Alexandra Renke (which means «Happy Easter») in the matching color. I cut a square using the My Favorite Things «In&Out Diagonal Stitched Square» Die-namics.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you all a HAPPY EASTER!

C.C. Designs Little Easter Bunny

Hello everyone,

Easter is just around the corner and I finally managed to create a card ;-)

I sorted out some of my craft supplies a couple of days ago and found the Sweet November Stamps (by Amy Young) «Little Bunnies» stamp set from C.C. Designs.

I colored one of the bunnies with my Copics and fussy cut him out with scissors leaving a small white border. I added some white dots with a gelly roll pen. Since I have tons of patterned papers in my stash, I decided to make use of them, too. They are from the 6"x6" «Springtime» paper pad by Echo Park.

To create my scene I die-cut a circle from the yellow patterned paper and a grass border with the My Favorite Things «Grassy Edges» Die-namics. I framed it with one of the new MFT «Stitched Circle Scallop Frame» dies. The mint polka dot paper was cut with the large stitched rectangle scallop die from the MFT «Blueprints 27» set. I LOVE these dies so much!

I stamped the Stampin' Up! sentiment (which means «Happy Easter») in VersaFine «Onyx Black». Then I assembled my card and popped up the little scene and the bunny with foam tape. Finally, I added two pink die-cut hearts.

With my card I'm joining the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge «Cute and Cuddly».

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

DT Stempelgarten Challenge March

Good morning everyone,

it's time for a new Stempelgarten Challenge and this month's theme is «Packaging/Wrapping».

I created a little Easter treats basket with the help of the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board. This tool is so versatile and you can find many tutorials for envelopes, boxes and other stuff all over the internet.

The tutorial which I used for my project is from Renate at schnipseldesign.com and you can find it HERE.

I picked this pretty My Mind's Eye floral 6"x6" patterned paper with chevrons on the other side. Since I have tons of patterned papers in my craft stash I could easily create hundreds of these baskets ;-)

This cute bunny (illustrated by the talented Torico/Birdie Brown) is from the My Favorite Things Somebunny stamp set and I colored it with my Copics. I cut a little banner and stamped the «Easter Treats» sentiment from the retired MFT «Easter Bunny» set in VersaFine «Onyx Black».

You will have time until March 31st, 2016 to join our challenge and this is the prize you could win:

A craft package from the Stempelgarten Online Shop with a value of CHF 20.–.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
