Basket Bunch Chocolate Bunny

Basket Bunch.2.0317What is Easter without chocolate and chocolate bunnies?  When I saw this adorable little chocolate bunny in the Basket Bunch stamp set I knew I had to use him on a card and naturally he had to be the center of attention.  I also knew that I had to use this sentiment on the card.

What do you think of my creation?  I think it turned out pretty cute.  I guess I could have gone with a pink like Flirty Flamingo to make it more spring-like but I think I designed it around Valentines Day and was thinking red.  Ha!

If you’ve been looking at my blog lately you will have noticed that this is the third card I’ve made with the Basket Bunch stamp set.  I love it and it will be staying on my shelf for a long time to come.  There are so many things you can do with this one stamp set.  You can check out the other two cards here and here.

I am really loving the Stitched Shape Framelits!  They add so much to a card by highlighting what’s inside of the shape.  I’m so glad that Stampin’ Up! didn’t wait until the new catalog to release them!

I hope you have a fabulous day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Basket Bunch: Easter’s On It’s Way

Basket Bunch.3.0317Yikes!  Easter is one month from today!  I guess it really is time to start sharing my Easter cards!

Have you played with Stampin’ Up!’s Basket Bunch stamp set and the COORDINATING Basket Builder Framelits?  You should!  There are SO many things you can do with these two COORDINATING items!  I really love this bundle of products and will definitely be keeping it in my stash.

Today’s card is a fun and simple one that I came up with while playing around with these products.  These eggs are all on the same stamp but cut out separately with the die.  I stamped them, colored them with various colors of markers, and then die cut them before adhering them to my card.

The fun saying is from the Greatest Greetings stamp set.  I’ve been waiting for a chance to use this fun sentiment and finally came up with the perfect card for it.  There’s a similar sentiment in the Basket Bunch stamp set which says “you’re egg-stra special”.  Too fun!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Think Spring! Basket Bunch Daffodil

Basket Bunch.1.0317Spring is fast approaching (although it feels like it’s already here!) and so is Easter.  It’s time to make Easter cards and that’s what we’re doing in classes this week.

This bright and cheerful card is one of my favorites from the class.  How can you not love a yellow daffodil?!

There’s nothing tricky about making this card.  I stamped the flower, stem and leaves on Shimmery White card stock and colored them with ink pads and an Aqua Painter.

Doesn’t the Stitched Shape Oval add to the card.  It would have been nice with a plain die cut oval but the “stitching” around the edge just takes things to the next level.

I’m starting to use the Petal Burst Embossing Folder more and more lately.  It fills in the blank space on the background yet is still a little subtle.  Cucumber Crush was the perfect shade of green for this card.  It’s a shame it will be going away with this current Annual Catalog.  Be sure to get all of your supplies in this color while you can!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!  Think Spring!
