Bunny Face Shaker Die Set
Easter Greetings Stamp Set
Sentiment Strips: Easter Stamp Set

The Bunny Face Shaker is already so versatile (and adorable), whether you use it as a shaker or just a sweet bunny face. But I would argue that it’s even cuter when you just use the ears, LOL! Using just part of a die is one of my favorite ways to stretch my supplies and I love “off the edge” shakers!

The card is super simple to make! Partially die cutting the Bunny Face from colored cardstock creates the shaker window. Then a little scrap plastic wraps around a white cardstock panel to create the shaker pocket. After adding a stamped sentiment or two and adhering everything together, you’ve got a sweet & sparkly Easter card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends! It’s Caly with you today and I am so excited to share this bunny cupcake card with you using some previously released products from Pretty Pink Posh.  I bet some of you already have these awesome die sets in your stash and can easily make a card like this one!

I love the carrots!  I used the Layered Carrots Stencils for the background and die-cut two sizes of carrots using the Easter Mug Additions Dies and the Big Easter Cupcake Dies.

Between the two die sets mentioned above, I was able to create the bunny cupcake with ears, little hands, and feet!  I just love that this bunny is wearing a cupcake.  Yes, you can have a cupcake AND eat it, too!

I used the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies to die-cut a decorative border for the background panel before attaching everything together.  To finish, I stamped a sentiment using the Easter Greetings set.

I hope you enjoyed this card! I had so much fun making it! Happy Spring!

Hi everyone ! It’s Mindy with you and today’s project is all about adding movement and personality to your cardmaking with a fun interactive element.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I created a lucky-themed design featuring adorable critters, layered greens, and an action wobbler that makes the puppy image wiggle right on the front of the card.

I started by blending Sprout and Parsley ink to create a soft green background. Then I layered the Lucky Words stencil over the top using the same colors for a subtle tone-on-tone effect. To finish, I added splatters of white acrylic paint and gold metallic ink for extra texture and sparkle.

The images were stamped from the Lucky Animals stamp set and colored with Ohuhu alcohol markers. After coloring, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and prepare them for layering.For the sentiment, I used the Lucky to Know You stamp set and coordinating dies.

Using the Shamrock Border die, I cut three shades of green cardstock and alternated the colors to create a playful layered border that enhances the lucky theme.

For assembly, I started with the sentiment at the top, followed by the critters, and finished with the shamrock border along the bottom. Thin foam squares add dimension behind the kitty, while an action wobbler behind the puppy brings movement and interactive fun to the design.

Adding interactive elements like action wobblers is an easy way to make your cards more engaging and memorable. This lucky-themed design combines layered textures, bright coloring, and movement for a playful finished card.

I hope you were inspired by this video. Thanks for spending time with me!

Hi Friends! Carly here and I have a super easy interactive card design to share with you! It’s my first time creating a pop-up card like this so I would love & appreciate your thoughts!

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

The outside of the card is pretty clean and simple, with some “lucky charms” made with dies from the Lucky Holder Additions & a heart borrowed from the Decorative Hearts set. The sentiment from the Lucky To Know You set.

But the inside is a swirly, twirly, pop-up explosion of “lucky charms”!

Hi friends, it’s Carly here today. Do you use masking techniques in your cardmaking? I LOVE masking because it feels like magic but it’s actually so simple!

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

To create this rainy stenciled background, all I needed was a little low-tack masking tape and the Raindrops stencil. So easy peasy!

I placed tape on a white cardstock panel to create a U shape. Then I applied Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina ink with a blending tool. Next I used the Raindrops stencil with Distress Oxide Blueprint Sketch ink to add the raindrops.

After removing the masking tape, I stamped the sentiment from the Spring Blooms set and then adhere the umbrella handle and umbrella (from the Springtime Holder Additions) to the card.

I hope you were inspired by this and video. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello friends! It’s Mindy Eggen here with you today, and I’m excited to share how I created this adorable Springtime Chick Shaker card.

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

This project is full of cheerful spring details and fun dimension, making it a perfect card to celebrate the season. 

I have a video tutorial that walks you through all of the products used along with the step-by-step assembly process, so be sure to check that out for the full creative experience!

The Chick Shaker creates the focal point and interactive element, while the Watercolor Circle stencil helps build a soft and playful spring scene. I added extra charm with the Stitched Clouds and Springtime Holder Additions to bring the background to life, and finished the design with a sentiment from the Easter Banner Greetings and Banner Greetings 3 sets.

To give the die-cut pieces more depth and visual interest, I used ink blending in colors that coordinated with the cardstock choices. This simple technique adds subtle shading and dimension without overwhelming the design. 

For the shaker element, I filled it with Bunny Hop Shaker Beads for movement and texture, and added Lemon Drop Jewels to the flower centers for a touch of sparkle and shine.

It’s such a super cute spring-themed card, and I hope it inspires you to create something bright and happy today.

Hi there! It’s Caly here with you today and I’m sharing a card using a few new products from the latest release. 

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

This Chick Shaker card was super fun and easy to make and I’ve got a video to show the process.  I hope you’ll enjoy watching!

Chick Shaker Dies
Springtime Holder Additions Dies
Stitched Clouds Dies
Easter Banner Greetings Stamps
Banner Greetings 3 Dies
Raindrops Stencil
Pastel Dreams Shaker Beads

I filled my Chick Shaker with the Pastel Dreams Shaker Beads and adhered him over a background that is ink-blended with blue ink.  The rain texture is created with the Raindrops Stencil and Distress Twinkle Texture Paste.

I decided to use vellum for my umbrella from the Springtime Holder Additions Dies. To elongate the umbrella arm, I partial die-cut to add length.  The vellum just makes it whimsy, don’t you think?  If you want to add color to the vellum, I recommend using alcohol markers on the backside of the vellum.  I left it as is.

I also added clouds using the new Stitched Clouds dies. To finish, I used a sentiment from the Easter Banner Greetings Stamps and stamped over a banner from the Banner Greetings 3 Dies.

I hope you enjoyed this card!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Are you looking for a fun way to add sparkle to your next handmade card? Well I’ve got an idea for you…DIY glitter stickers!

Glitter, double-sided sheets of adhesive and dies come together to create really fun & sparkly stickers. After stamping & coloring an image, I use the coordinating die to cut the shape from double-sided adhesive. I remove one side of the liner paper and place adhesive over the image. Then I remove the top liner paper and add glitter.  I think this technique looks so super cute with the new Lovely Ladybugs!

This technique looks adorable with the Valentine Word Scenes too!

I hope you were inspired by this and video. Thanks so much for stopping by!
