Next, I cut white cardstock using the Happy Easter Shaker, then I cut the inner scripts out of it to make an egg shaped floral frame for bunnies. The frame was colored lightly with Tattered Rose and Twisted Citron.
I stamped a sentiment from the Easter Friends set on the upper left corner of the panel, foam mounted egg frame on the center using double sided square foam adhesives, then adhered cute images inside and around the frame.
Hi there, Liz here! Spring is here and with Easter around the corner, I’m still having fun using the new Bunny Friends stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh. I love it and it’s so much fun to play with it and create different scenes.
For this card, I started off by first creating the grass using the Scallop Borders 1 dies and used ink to color them (Jellybean – SSS and Mowed Lawn – distress) and put it aside as I wanted to create some clouds in the background.
I used the Stitched Borders 2(still one of my favorites) to create scallop clouds in the background. To get the blue shadow outline underneath the clouds, I basically die cut two borders and added Salty Ocean Distress Oxide to color them before putting them together. Repeated this again for the upper cloud and sky.
To give this card some dimension, I added foam mount underneath the top cloud panel before adding my scene. From there, I added the Picket Fence using white card stock along with the grass that I had put aside earlier. Next, I added these cute bunnies and flowers which I colored using my copic markers and decided to add a couple more little easter eggs from the Easter Friends set.
As the final touch, I decided to add some kites to the scene using the Fly A Kite set before adding some jewels in: Pink Blush, Aquamarine, and Pansy Purple to add some sparkles.
I hope you enjoyed this fun Easter card. Stop by tomorrow for the last day of the Easter Theme Week!
Hi Pretty Pink Posh Friends! Shannon joining you today with another creation for Easter theme week! For my card today I used the adorable new Bunny Friends stamp set. I’m seriously in love with the different little bunnies in this set! I also used some of the new dies!
I started with an A2 size piece of white cardstock and used one of the dies from the Decorative Eggs die set to create egg shaped openings for my bunnies to hang out in. I ran it through my die cutting machine 3 separate times but you could easily use 3 of the dies at the same time to achieve this as your just using the negative area.
I then used this panel as a guide on a white card base to figure out where to put my color. I laid it on top and made light pencil marks to give me a rough idea where to ink blend my colors so it would be behind my eggs. I then adhered this panel on top.
I stamped my sweet little bunnies and smaller images on separate white card stock, colored in using Copic markers and cut out using the coordinating dies, and adhered them over my colorful eggs.
For my sentiment, I wanted something a little bit colorful so I decided to cut off the easter sentiment from the Easter Egg Shaker die that I die cut from water color paper and used Zig real brush markers to lay a bunch of colors down and then used my water brush to blend the colors in a bit better.
Hello friends, Thi here! I’m so excited to share with you my card for Pretty Pink Posh’s Easter theme week. I had a lot of fun mixing two of my favorite Easter stamp sets, Easter Friends and the new Bunny Friends from the March release.
Let’s get to it! To start, I ink blended my background with Distress Ink in Abandon Coral and Antique Linen onto an A2 size piece of Bristol smooth cardstock. I splashed some water and lifted it up to get those water droplets then I took more Abandon Coral and mixed it with some water and splattered the ink with a paintbrush. I left this to dry and moved on some coloring and die cutting.
I colored images from both stamp sets, particularly a lot of eggs from the Easter Friends stamp set. My plan was to make an Easter egg hunt scene. After I colored all my images, I started die cutting them all as well as other pieces I needed for my scene.
First, I die cut a white picket fence using the Picket Fence Die. I decided I need two pieces of grass to create a fun dimensional Easter egg lawn. I die cut a taller piece of grass out of green cardstock using a die from the Scallop Border 1 Dies. I then cut a shorter piece using the Stitched Borders 2 die. The idea was to create a lawn where eggs may be laying out during an Easter egg hunt!
Once the background that I created earlier was completely dry, I heat embossed the Happy Easter sentiment with white embossing powder.
Tip: Make sure it’s completely dry before doing this otherwise you will have embossing powder stuck everywhere!
Finally! My favorite part: assembly time. I glued my white picket fence on with Ranger Multi Media Matte glue. I then adhered the bigger green grass piece on top of it. I popped up the shorter grass piece with foam tape. Then I decided to put foam tape on my three little friends so they stood out in the scene. Then I took a tape runner and stuck eggs everywhere! The entire piece was adhered to an A2 card base.
I love this card and I hope you do too! Thanks for stopping by!
Hello everyone! Lexa here and this week, Pretty Pink Posh is having an Easter theme week. I think it will be a perfect opportunity for you to find some inspiration for the upcoming holiday. Since PPP has many choices of Easter theme products, you’ll find many items you need! *wink*
Let’s get started with my Easter card. I use Easter Egg Shaker Dies as the vocal point of my card, I placed it in the center. I use watercolor paper to die cut the Easter egg and then color it with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor palete. After the paints dried out, I adhere it on top of thick transparent plastic for the window. Some small size Buttercream Jewels are also adhered with glossy accent to embellish the red flowers. I love how contrast the colors are. You must agree that these brand new jewels are to die for! They are super pretty.
As for the background of my card, I blended Mowed Lawn and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks for the grass and the sky. Those adorable bunnies (my ultimate favorite of the new release!) from Bunny Friends Stamp Set are stamped with Versafine black ink and I watercolor them with Distress Inks. What’s an easter card without those bunnies, right?! I used the cheerful Tutti Fruitti Sequins Mix inside the shaker Easter egg. I just love love love how it turned out. The happy colors are so cute!
Thank you so much for stopping by today, don’t forget to leave me some love if you like this card as much as I do. And also wait for tomorrow, we have more inspiration and wonderful ideas… stay tuned to the PPP blog.
Hello, Gemma here and welcome to the first day of our Easter Theme Week here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog. My card today features three cute bunny friends popping out from behind some Easter eggs.
I began by blending some different colours of distress oxide inks on to white card. I chose lots of bright spring colours. I die cut the Decorative Eggs from the ink blended card, plus some extras of the solid egg in the set from white card. I’ll use these as backing pieces to build my Easter eggs.
I added some tape adhesive to the white eggs, then layered the coloured eggs on top, mixing them up so the stripes are different colours to the frames. Next, I die cut the large Scallop Framefrom white card and added some colour to it with shaded lilac distress oxide ink. I adhered the frame onto a white card base.
From the Bunny Friends stamp set, I chose the bunny that looks like it’s jumping. I stamped the image three times, colouring them with copics and die cutting with the coordinating die. I added some foam tape behind two of the Easter eggs, and tape runner adhesive behind the other two. This gives some nice dimension and makes it easier to overlap them. Before I adhered the eggs to the card, I added the bunnies with tape runner flat to the card base. Once the eggs are added on top, they look like they are jumping out.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Happy Easter Shaker die three times – twice from white card and once from some ink blended card to match the pink in the eggs. I cut out the words from the Shaker die cuts, then layered them together to get a dimensional sentiment. I adhered the words at the top of the card, in a line. I just love that the sentiment fits together so well in this layout.
I finished with some watermelon jewels around the bunnies for a touch of sparkle.
Thanks for joining me today. Join us here tomorrow for more Easter themed inspiration.
Although we call this no-line coloring, it actually isn’t no-line coloring because we can see lines stamped with a light colored ink. Since the Cherry Blossoms images have simple yet beautiful outlines, no line coloring is not too difficult. Coloring these small to moderate sized blossoms was really fun!
There are so many color options in Daniel Smith Paints that you may feel difficult what to choose, but, I found that I need only several of those colors to make watercolor flower cards. Here, I used my favorite colors which are Quinacridone Coral, Quinacridone Violet, Permanent Alizarin Crimson for blossoms, Prussian Green and Sap Green for leaves, Burnt Umberfor background. After I finished watercoloring, I trimmed the four edges a little to make the panel look clean.
To add a sentiment, I made a round stitched rectangle tag from a deep green card stock using the Stitched Pieces Die, then a sentiment from Encouraging Greetings Stamp Set was chosen and heat-embossed on the tag with white embossing powder. Then I punched two small holes on both sides of the tag, put natural twines through the holes, and tide a bow. The tag was also adhered onto the panel using foam tape.
Next, I foam mounted the panel onto an A2 sized side-folded card base. As a final touch, I added Buttercream Jewels onto the empty spaces between blossoms and leaves. Look how the jewels sparkle beautifully on the card! The Jewels Collection is now my favorite among the new release!
Here’s another look at the finished card.

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card featuring the beautiful new Happy Easter Shaker die along with the cute Bunny Friends stamp set. I wanted to create a layered look with the Happy Easter Shaker die, with different colours of cardstock and some jewels too.
To begin, I die cut the Happy Easter Shaker die from four colours of card stock – green, light pink, dark pink and lilac. I chose the green die cut as my base layer, so the leaves are set back the most when all the layers are put together.
Next, I fussy cut the flowers from both of the pink die cuts and adhered them over the green layer. Although these flowers will eventually be covered by jewels, where any of the card does show underneath, I want it to be the same colour as the jewels. I then trimmed away the leaves and flowers from the lilac die cut, leaving just the frame and the sentiment. I added this onto the green die cut.
Once all the layers of card are put together, I picked out some Pink Blush jewels and Watermelon jewels and adhered them over the top of the flowers with liquid glue. The jewels look so pretty as an accent on the card. I put the Happy Easter Shaker aside to work on the rest of the card. I die cut the largest of the Scallop Frame dies from white card, then blended on an ombré of lilac ink, to closely match the colour of the shaker frame.
I just had to add two of the cute bunnies from the Bunny Friends stamp set to my card. I stamped them out and coloured them with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I tucked one of the bunnies under the scallop frame at the bottom. I tucked the other bunny at the top of the Happy Easter Shaker die cut, trimming him a little to fit, then adhered everything to the card.
To finish, I added some foam squares just under the heads and ears of the bunnies, so they have some dimension.
Ready to hop along and see LOTS more fabulous inspiration with this new release?
