Hi friends! It’s Christina and today I’m sharing some springtime inspiration for Easter Theme Week here at PPP! I used the Spring Chicks stamp set to create an adorable little scene against the new Watercolor Oval Stencil. I had so much fun creating this card and I can’t wait to share all the details with you. Let’s get started!

My first step was to create the background on an A2 white cardstock panel. I used the Watercolor Oval Stencil and the Pawsitively Saturated Inks listed above to ink blend a soft, watery backdrop for the stamped images. After stenciling, I splattered it with plain water to add a watery texture to the ink blending. Then I added a little puddle of water using the stamp in the Spring Chicks set, stamping it with the Seafoam ink color and then using a Copic marker to fill it in.

Next, I stamped the images for my scene and colored them with Copic markers. Then I die cut them with the coordinating dies and stacked plain die cuts behind the die cut images to give them more substance and stability. 

Using the stamped and die cut images, I built the scene on the stenciled background panel using liquid adhesive, thin foam squares, and regular foam squares. I layered the images and used varying heights of adhesive to give the scene plenty of dimension and perspective. The last steps were to add a greeting and white gel pen highlights. I heat embossed the greeting with white embossing powder on white cardstock, die cut it with the coordinating die, and then ink blended it just like the stenciled background before attaching it to the card. 

And that finishes up this adorable springtime scene featuring the Spring Chicks stamp set.

You’ll find inspiration all week on the PPP blog that will be sure to inspire your Easter and spring-themed craft projects. See you soon!

Hi friends, Debbie here with the Bunny Face Shaker for Easter Theme Week. Is there any thing more cuter than this face!? Okay maybe the bunny bum! 

So let’s get started with the background panel for the shaker. I started off with the 5X7 panel and placed it on a grip mat. Placing over the panel with the new Springtime Borders Stencil and ink blended on light pink, purple, greens and Antique linen for the carrots. I knew that I wasn’t going to have any orange carrots on the card, so no need for an orange carrots. Once I was done with the ink blending I trimmed it down a 1/8 inch on all sides. 

Then with the Bunny Face Shaker Die I die cut it out of the panel. With double sided adhesive I attached clear acetate. Then with Alabaster Cream card stock I die cut out with both of the dies to create the frame of the face. Adhere the frame to the front of the acetate, next adding the face pieces and the pink inner ear pieces with liquid glue

Flip over the panel and add 3D foam around the window to create the well for the Cotton Candy Clay Mix. Once there is enough clay mix in then add a piece of Alabaster card stock to seal in the mix. 

Next, I die cut out the flowers  and butterfly from the Spring Mug Additions. To ground it all I die cut out the grass from the new Grass Border Dies. Then die cut out the previous Fancy Easter Script Die three times  and stacked them for dimension. The sub sentiment is from Sentiment Strips: Easter. I stamp out “Somebunny Loves You” with black ink on more of the alabaster card stock, then die cut it out with the Sentiment Strips Dies. 

Next with the Beautiful Bows, I die cut out a smaller bow with two colors and off set them. Adhering it to the side of one of the ears. 

Lastly I thought the centers needed a little more, so with a couple of the Cotton Candy Clay Mix I added to the centers of the flowers and the bow.

I hope you enjoy my Bunny Shaker face! Have a Happy Easter my friends!

Hi crafty friends and happy Easter theme week! Sophie here and I am thrilled to be sharing two cards I made featuring a mix of old and new from the shop. I am highlighting the Bunny Friends stamps and coordinating dies for both of my projects. The best news is that these products are on sale this week! :) You don’t have to use these products for Easter cards only as I showcase here today. Let’s dive in! 

For my first card I used one of my new favorite stencils from the Easter release – this watercolor oval! It is so beautiful and a perfect landing spot for a simple scene. I used the lightest blue and green inks I could find in my stash to just barely blend on some color for the background. I opted to stamp my sentiment directly on the card and also stamped some tone on tone flowers from the Bunny Friends stamp set. For the bunny I colored him with Copic markers listed below. 

Bunny: W00, W0, W1, R00
Carrot: YG17, YG11, YR04, YR02

For my second card I used another one of the adorable bunnies from the stamp set and used the same marker colors as listed above. I wanted to make a clean and simple card and featured the new Springtime Borders Stencils. I thought it would be fun to just feature part of this stencil on the card as sort of a ground as a landing place for the bunny and my sentiment. The sentiment was stamped directly on my card base and it is from the new Easter Greetings stamp set which is seriously one of my favorite sentiment sets of all time. I LOVE the mix of scripty and block fonts. To finish off my card I added a few of my go-to sparkling clear sequins.

I hope you found these projects inspiring! Do you like to make Easter or spring themed cards? I’d love to know so leave a comment below! Bye for now – I’ll be back to share more projects with you soon! :) 

Hi crafty friends! Sophie here sharing a card I made featuring the new Butterfly Border die set! I LOVE this set – it is so versatile! Border sets are fun because you can really use them for so may different things. Pretty Pink Posh has some fantastic border sets including fall leaves, spider webs, Easter eggs, and more! I love the possibilities of really customizing cards and projects with this set. Let’s take a look at the project I made below…

For this card I actually just used the individual butterfly dies to create this cute little swarm of butterflies. I used up a lot of scrap cardstock in my stash in various shades of pinks and corals. For the body of the butterfly I used an ivory cardstock. 

For the sentiment I used the new Easter Greetings stamps and coordinating dies. I love when stamped greetings have coordinating dies and this set is so beautiful with the mix of block and script fonts! 

To finish off my card I scattered some sparkling clear sequins in the smallest size around to fill in-between the butterflies. I really love how this turned out and I hope you love it too! I hope you found this project inspiring! I’ll be back soon to share more projects with you!

Hello! Christina here to share a sweet Easter shaker card featuring some of the new things from the latest PPP release. This release has the most adorable things that will definitely inspire you to start your springtime crafting ASAP!

For my project, I used the new Easter Bucket Additions Dies to create an Easter basket filled with springtime goodies, like speckled Easter eggs, cute carrots, and of course, jelly beans!

Follow along as I give you all the details for creating this Easter shaker card, including a supply list. 

Candy Bucket Dies – the bucket/basket
Easter Bucket Additions Dies – all the goodies
Easter Holder Addition Dies – small flower
Tiny Bows Stencil
Grass Border Die
Eyelet Rectangle Dies
Spring Flowers Clay Confetti
Sentiment Strips Dies
Sentiment Strips: Easter Stamp Set

Distress Inks – Saltwater Taffy, Scattered Straw, Tumbled Glass, and Carved Pumpkin to shade colored cardstock for the die cuts and scattered straw for the background panel
Distress Inks – Worn Lipstick, Mustard Seed, and Broken China for adding a speckled detail to eggs
Pawsitively Saturated Inks – I used Spring and Dublin for leaves, grass, and the jelly bean. I used Lilac to shade the jelly bean
Paper Glaze Snowdrop White for stenciling

---

My first step was to create the background panel. I trimmed a piece of pale yellow cardstock to fit inside the stitched detail of the largest Eyelet Rectangle. Then I blended Scattered Straw Distress Ink around the edges, leaving the center the lighter yellow. Next, I stenciled the panel with the Tiny bows using the stencil paste and set it aside to dry.

My next step was to create the shaker. I die cut the bucket shaker components from white cardstock with an embossed dot detail and used the frame piece as a template to die cut the shaker window from the background panel. Then I attached a piece of acetate over the opening on the reverse side before attaching foam strips around the window to create the walls of the shaker. Next, I filled the shaker with the confetti and placed the bucket die cut on the foam strips to complete the shaker component. Then I mounted this panel to the Eyelet Rectangle using more foam strips and a little liquid adhesive.

With the shaker complete, I got started on all the fun bucket additions. I die cut most of the elements from colored cardstock and inked the edges for a little dimension. The green die cut elements started with white cardstock before I inked them with two shades of green ink. To give the Easter eggs a decorative detail, I spattered them with coordinating ink colors and thinned white gouache paint.

To assemble and finish the card, I mounted the card panel to an A2 spring green cardstock panel before adding the bucket frame and handle to the card front. Then I tucked all the goodies inside the bucket using either liquid adhesive or thin foam squares. The final details were to add a sweet bow, a few small flowers, and a stamped and die cut sentiment right across the center of the Easter bucket.  

And that completes this sweet Easter shaker card showcasing the new Easter Bucket Additions! Thanks so much for reading, and see you again soon!

Hello Everyone! Leanne here and I’m excited to be a guest on the blog today to share a fun Easter card. My mini slimline sized card features an adorable bunny with some large decorated eggs all created with new products from this month’s release. 

I started this card by adding a blue sky and three layers of the Grass Border onto a panel that’s just slightly smaller than the mini slimline card base. I then created two large eggs with the Build An Egg dies. I choose to keep the decoration on the eggs simple but there’s many dies included in this set that gives the option for making them much more detailed if you’d like.

Next I die cut and assembled my bunny using the Bunny Holder die set. You can easily customize this cute bunny and add fun accessories with the Easter Holder Additions die set. I decided to keep this bunny simple as well by die cutting the body from white card stock and adding light pink ink blending around the edges. I gave him some rosy cheeks with R00 & R20 Copics.

To complete the card, I tucked the eggs and bunny into the grass border layers and adding the Easter Greeting. This stamp is included in the new Easter Greetings set which has coordinating dies. 

I hope this bright and colorful Easter card gets you into the spring crafting spirit. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hi friends, Debbie here with the new Fringe Egg Die Set from the Easter Release! This release is incredibly adorable, with all the fun eggs, bunnies and chicks! 

So to start off, I started building my Robin Blue Fringe Egg. With a panel of white card stock I ink blended on Gina K Ocean Mist ink, then I splattered on the ink. Next, with Dr. PH Martin’s Bleedproof Paint splattered more! Once it was dry I die cut out the Fringe Egg layers. Next, I die cut out four times of each of the layers from a matching card stock. 

I now realize I want my card to be monochromatic. So with  the new Tiny Bows Stencil I ink blended on a white panel with the Ocean Mist ink. After I was done I lifted the stencil off and with the remaining ink on the brush I lightly blended over the panel.

Next, I die cut out some blue vellum with the Wonky Stitched Squares Dies. Attach  the Fringe egg to the top of the vellum and then to the Tiny Bow panel.

Next, I stamped out the sentiment from the Upright Greetings: Easter stamp set with the matching ink on white card stock. Die cut it out with the flag die from the Sentiment Strips die set. Attach the two dies by overlapping them. I knew I wanted to make the Arsenia Bow! It is fringy so I knew it would be a great look for my egg. And I love how it all came together!

Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!

Hi there my crafty and creative friends! It’s Wanda here, guesting on the awesome PPP Blog today! I am very happy to join you for the new release this month. Easter is one of my favorite holidays, and I just adore the pretty pastel and Spring colors! And I always love what PPP does for Spring – don’t you?!

I have a colorful Easter card to share with you today. I used the Candy Bucket Dies along with the brand new Easter Bucket Additions, Easter Greetings, Grass Border Die, and MORE! I used all the spring colors too. My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with gingham, and that beautiful Eyelet Rectangle Die. 

I started by die cutting and assembling the Candy Bucket, using light gray and white. Then I die cut the grass, the eggs and the carrots out of colored cardstock. I used Copic Markers to add shading to all the die cut pieces. I splattered on some white paint and used a white gel pen to add highlights. 

I assembled the Candy Bucket and the Bunny pieces. Then I added the grass, eggs and carrots inside the bucket. I added a bow at the top of the bucket handle. Then, I added a few gems and hearts for just a little bit of sparkle.

I stamped the sentiment using the new Easter Greetings stamp set and die cut it with the matching dies. Some Bunny Loves You! It’s the perfect sentiment!

Thank you so much to PPP for letting me share a project with you today. Happy Spring and Happy Easter!
