Hi Friends, Jeanne here ! I’m so excited to be sharing a card today during Easter Theme Week! My card features both new and preexisting product to show you how well they work together!
I always arrange images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base. This allows me to arrange the different elements before I commit and adhere them in place. I can pick up the entire arrangement and layer it over different backgrounds to get a preview of the finished design too!
I created a garden scene using Tulips on a Distress Ink background. They make the perfect place to hide the Build An Egg decorated eggs for the hunt!
I tucked a few Bunny Friends around the eggs and added a sweet sentiment from the new Easter Greetings stamp set! The finishing touch is always a sprinkle of something sparkly! Colorful jewels always hit the spot!
Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I’m so glad to be back with this new Easter card featuring a cute bunny in a hot air carrot balloon I built using a large variety of dies from different sets. I’m happy when I can mix and match my sets!
I started off with the card base and cut a large Slimline Peekaboo Windows panel out of kraft cardstock. I created a cloud background using one of the Spooky Sky stencils along with white pigment ink, and added a little bit of vintage photo distress ink to the edges. I mixed some of that same ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches panel out of brown woodgrain cardstock, added vintage photo distress ink to the edges, attached that panel to a card base, and then my cloudy kraft panel on top using liquid glue.
Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock and pattern papers. I added a bit of matching distress ink to each colored cardstock piece and then white splatters to all the elements, and once everything was dry, I attached them all to my panel using foam squares mostly to add dimension to my scene, as well as liquid glue at some places.
I applied glossy accents to the bunny’s nose, gave him a pair of wiggly eyes, and added a heart in the center of each bow from the Valentine Hearts clay confetti mix and Colorful Hearts clay confetti mix. For my greetings, I white heat embossed “Hoppy Easter” from Easter Greetings on pink cardstock and cut it using the matching die. I also white heat embossed “Somebunny loves you” from Sentiment Strips: Easter on the same pink cardstock and trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die. I applied matching distress ink to the edges of both greetings, and finally attached them to my card using foam squares.
And that’s it! I hope that this lovely Easter card inspires you to try and see further than the typical use of a die set. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
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.
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 theSpring 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 Diethree 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! Carly here and I’m getting so excited for spring…the sunshine, the flowers, the candy…I love Easter candy! And since I love Easter candy so much, I decided to create a little treat train to fill with candy!
I’ve made these little treat trains before (HERE) and they are so fun every time! And they are truly so easy to make with a simple formula for creating a box, which you can see in the process video!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’ll join us again tomorrow for another day of Easter inspiration.
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.
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! Rebecca here with a birthday card gift card holder! I love creating gift card holders so it’s so easy to give a quick last minute birthday gift!
To create this gift card holder, I started by creating the background with the Cascading Stars Stencil in a gradient of colors. Cut the panel down to 4×5.25” and matte on one of the colors of cardstock.
Then I cut the previously released Gift Card Bag Dies out of a coordinating color of cardstock. There are easily foldable flaps on three sides of the gift bag so bend them back, add double sided tape and then adhere down to the stars background.
For a sentiment, I stamped two of the Upright Greetings: Birthday Stamp Set and then cut them out with one of the Sentiment Strip Dies. Fold the tops of the flag back and fold over twine. Adhere them with foam squares and then tie a bow with the twine. Now you can slide your gift card into your decorated birthday gift bag!
I hope you’ll give this combination of stamps and dies a try so that you have a quick gift to give in a last minute situation!
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 Diesto 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.
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 newEaster 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!
