Easter Wishes CYCI#64

Good Sunday Easter morning!   Today I am over at Can You Case It? and we are sharing our new color challenge.  Grab those colors and get crafty!

 

 

I thought in celebration of Easter and finally some nice Spring weather, I pull out my Blessed Easter tulip stamp and play around with it.  I started with a base of sahara sand and stamped on a background with the off the grid stamp as well as the gorgeous grunge stamp set.  I just love both of these together.  I really like how I pulled in the colors of crisp cantaloupe and pistachio pudding with the mini banners, the sequins along with the twine.

 

I hope you have enjoyed my design team card for this weeks color challenge.  Leave some "love" and don't forget to hop on over and see what the other team members have created.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ sahara sand, very vanilla, crisp cantaloupe

Ink ~ sahara sand, basic black

Markers ~ crisp cantaloupe and pistachio pudding

Stamps ~ blessed easter, gorgeous grunge, off the grid

Hippity Hoppity Easter Critters FM203

Good morning, its Friday, Friday, Friday and what better day to share my project as hostess over at The Friday Mashup!  This week is my first time hosting our mashup challenge.  I hope you come play along.  I can't wait to see what you create!

 

 

This week's Mash Up! Challenge: 

• Create a project using " So Saffron, Calypso Coral & Pool Party*". 
• Create a project using "Easter Critters".
• or Mash it Up! and create a project with "Easter critters and the colors above".

 

 

I decided to create my background using the Work of Art stamp set using the colors of so saffron, pool party and calypso.  Then I stamped and colored the cute little bunny from the cheerful critters set.  I just love this color combo, its one of my favorites especially for Springtime.

Peter Cotton Tail

 

Good Friday morning!  Today is the first day Spring, whoop whoop!!  Its also the day I'm headed to Va. Beach for the Shamrock Half Marathon and Dolphin challenge....wish me luck!  Today I am playing over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration are we are sharing some Easter projects for you to get inkspired with.  This was one of the cute cards that my stamp club made this past weekend. 

 

I love all the details of the stamp.  It can be colored a lot of just a little.  We colored just a couple parts of the bunny and added a cute pom pom for his little bunny tail.  Another fun element with this card that everyone loved, was the small piece of chevron ribbon that I used off to the side along with the little punched out flowers.

 

I hope you have enjoyed my Easter themed project card.  Leave some "love" and go see what the other gals created!

Cheerful Critters

 

Today I am over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and our designers are sharing projects created with the super cute Cheerful Critters stamp set.  I love when we have stamp set focus days.  I feel its a great way to see many different ways to use just one stamp set.

 

My layout is pretty simple with the use of the DSP as a large banner, but in the end I just had to add some of the cute little pom pom trim and two cute little buttons. I also used my smoky slate and daffodil delight blendabilities to color in the Easter bunny.  (please note that at this time, SU! has turned off all ordering of the blendabilities until some issues can be worked out.  Please check back often to check on the status.  I can't wait for their return!)

Front Door Wreath #SSINKCC19

 

Good morning, its Monday and time for an all new color challenge at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  We hope you get inkspired and come take on our challenge.  We love seeing new players and can't wait to see what you create with our color palette.

 

 

 

I will have to admit, these colors scared the daylights out of me.  I didn't know what in the world I was gonna do.  I walked over to my stamp cabinet and looked and searched for the perfect stamp set that would work for these colors.  Then it hit me, I would create a cute front door card as my base and use the Wonderous Wreath stamp set.  And it worked perfectly.  I used my pictogram punches stamp set to stamp tone on tone a few flowers and punched them out with matching flower punch.  The wreath in stamped in baked brown sugar to represent a kinda grape vine wreath.  I finished it off but stamping "happy easter" on a cute little banner to attach to the wreath.

A Cute Whittle Easter Bunny Scrapbook Page

 

Good morning!  Thanks for joining me here with Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration today!  April is the month that brings us those showers, but this year its the month that brings us "Easter".  As we all celebrate in our own different ways, one thing is sure, its the time we get together as a family and celebrate our blessings.  For my family its a traditional family Easter dinner, followed by a huge egg hunt for the kids and adults.  What the adults too!?!  Yep!  The adults on the other hand don't play for chocolate (of course that would be fine by me!!), nope we play for $money$...cha-ching!!  Here is how it goes:  every adult who wants to play pays $5 to join in.  All the money is put in a pot.  One lucky egg will have a golden ticket inside.  Now here is the fun part...the KIDS go and hide the eggs for us.  They have so much fun doing this, cause as a normal tradition, they don't get to do this.  After all the eggs have been hidden, the adults race, oh YES, race.  We push and shove and run to go find those eggs!  I mean, the lucky winner can win anywhere from about $50-$100!  I don't know about you but, I will run around like a crazy Easter Bunny hunting eggs for that kind of cash!!  The one to find the egg with the golden ticket, whens the loot!! Winner$ Winner$ Chicken Dinner!!

So in keeping with the Easter fun, my project is a 8"x8" scrapbook page.  I will use this page to highlight the winner of our adult egg hunt!

 

So my page is pretty simple with some DSP layers.  I punched and added a border strip in crushed curry and coastal cabana.  I also added a fun piece of chevron ribbon and topped it with one of the new in color buttons.  The main focal point of course is the cute little bunny!

The bunny is put together using a few simple standard punches.  Med. oval punch for ears and feet, 3/4" circle for the hands, 1" circle for the nose, large oval for the body, word window cut in half for the eyes, 1/2" circle for the bottom circle on feet and the little circle from the itty bitty punch set for the other circles on the feet.

I hope you have enjoyed my whittle Easter bunny page.  Don't forget to leave some "love" before heading over to the main Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration page to see all the other wonderful Easter projects!

Supplies Used

Boy Bunny Basket

Ok, bloggers heres the funny story about the boy bunny.  I made three totes all different with these cute bunnies on the front for my two sisters and neice for Easter.  My neice has been trying to get info. from me on what I am making for them but I wouldn't tell her.  I did however show her a picture of the one I made for her mom.  Here's the funny part, her boyfriend has been asking her what I am making for them and why I was asking what their favorite colors were.  He also asked if he was gonna get one too.  He's a big kid and didn't want to be left out, Sooooo.  This one is for Cubby!  I did use grey (his favorite color) and dressed the bunny up with some blues, plaid shirt and a baseball cap on top.  So what do you think??

Easter Bunny Totes

 Good morning bloggers!  Have not posted in a while and shame on me.  I've got to get my butt back into the grove here.  I swear I'm making, stampin and creating, just not posting what I do:(  Any who, I've made these bunnies before from the talented Kay over at http://creationsonpaper.blogspot.com/2011/03/easter-pals.html.  Click on over and find out how to make these awesome bunnies.  I've also bought the instructions from her on how to make these cute mini totes.  So when I checked out one of my daily inspiration blogs "Linda" over at http://lindas-stampinloft.blogspot.com/ and saw how she used both together, I knew right away these were gonna be my Easter treats for sisters and neice this year!  The one above goes to my oldest sister, she wanted spring colors, so I used Pool Party with Island Indigo.  I added a cute vest coat to the white bunny from the Owl Punch using the Everyday Enchantment DSP from the Sale a Bration catalog (which by they way, this is your last week to get this awesome paper pack).  Get it FREE for every $50 order you place!!  HINT! HINT!

 This one is using Whisteria Wonder paper and its for my neice.  Its her favorite color and I used the largest heart from the Heart to Heart Punch to add to the tote.  I also added a cute bow to the neck of the Soft Suede bunny. 

This Lucky Limeade tote is for my other sister.  I think her favorite color is green, (oh well, she will like it anyway!!)  This bunny has Colipsol (spelled wrong I know-don't feel like going and getting catalog!) Coral for ears and nose.  He is holding a bunch of flowers made from the Boho Blossom Punch.  The stem is from the Bird Punch.  Hope you have enjoyed my version of Easter buny totes.  I have a list of punches below for making the bunny.

*  xlarge oval punch for outside of ear
*  large oval punch for inner ear, hands and feet
*  ornament punch for head
*  owl punch with feet and ears cut off for the body
*  bird punch wing for the large part of eye
*  3/8" circle punch from the itty bitty set for black eyes and nose
*  1" circle for the cheeks

March Stamp Club Projects-Easter!!

 For our March stamp club, we will be making these cute Easter 3-d items.  This class is a punch art class.  I thought it would be good to show how you can make so many different things just by using punches.  One is a duck attached to a plastic bag (you can put treats inside) and the second is a chocolate bunny basket!  We will rotate each month with what kind of project we make, (card, scrapbook page or 3-d item)

 I make a scrapbook page to show how you can also use the same kind of punches to create again a bunny/duck to complete a page as well.  This page will go to the hostess for the month of March!

This is the card, again using the same kind of punches to create this cute little bunny.  This card will also go to the hostess for March!

Tuesday Morning Sketches 88

I wanted to keep this card as cute and simple as the sketch from http://www.tuesdaymorningsketches.blogspot.com/.  I also was in the mood to make an Easter card.  I am so bad at not remembering what the times of stuff is, I just pick out what I want and go to town creating.  So I can't even tell you what brand paper this is.  The ribbon is a sheer orange ribbon that I picked up at Michaels and I used my Spellbinders Nest. Scalloped Circle shapes.  The "Happy Easter" is from a retured SU! easter set that I got off of Ebay last year and again, could not tell you the name of it.  Man, I am so bad:(  Hope you enjoy the card though!!

Mini Bunny Top Note Treat Boxes

These are the cute little mini boxes with pieced together bunnies I made for each of the Stampin Crop Club I am a part of. I made 10 of these little boxes. I made green, purple and pink ones.

Side view of the box. I used the top note die, cut one and then cut it in half to use as the top and bottom of box. If you would like I can give you the measurements I used to make the acutal box for the inside treat.

The box is just large enough for one of the mini reeses peanut butter eggs. I tied the box shut with a piece of ribbon to match.

The bunny is made with a combo of circles and ovals, then pieced together for the bunny. Again, I will post later today all the measurements for the box and the bunny if you would like. Just let me know if you are interested. Thanks for looking at my mini bunny boxes!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #86 and Diva Coffee Break 220

Ok, this is my super cute, very simple easter card for kids. This card creation is for two challenges, http://www.tuesdaymorningsketches.blogspot.com/ and http://www.divacoffeebreakdesigns.blogspot.com/. I used an older SU! Easter stamp set that I got off Ebay and Priceless stamp set, the colors or perfect plum, pretty in pink and certainly celery. I also used whisper white. Hope you enjoy.

Owl Tent Card

Front View

Side view so you can see the 3-d items better.

I had not made a tent card in a while and was in the mood to make one. I also wanted to use my new celebration stamp set and turn it into an Easter card. I think this is just so cute!! I made the owl into an owl-bunny, which the idea came from a new blog that I found, you need to click the link and head over, she has some great fun creations, http://www.kbpapercraft.blogspot.com/. I made 3-d flowers on each side of the card and also made the easter basket with eggs 3-d as well. Hope you enjoy!!
