Springtime Gnomes

By KariV on February 24, 2021 in Easter, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a sweet Spring card to share with the *New Springtime Gnomes set from Maker Forte. This set has so many awesome Gnome images with eggs and spring characters! Today I chose the Bunny Gnome and paired it with some great patterned paper designed by Alex Syberia.

I thought those big white flowers looked a little like billowy clouds! So I loved it with this scene. I cut the paper down to A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″). Then I stamped and colored the gnome with spring colors of Copic Markers.

The sentiment strip is from the Friendship Simple Sayings set. I cut it down to size and colored it with a purple Distress Ink to match the polka dots on the egg. I added a silver glitter paper just beneath the sentiment.

How cute is that little chick?! I added some die-cut grass and then popped up the gnome on top with foam tape.

To finish it off, I added a little Unicorn Stickles to the “clouds.” Then I put it all onto a heavy weight top-folding card base.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

A Very Happy Easter!

By KariV on April 12, 2020 in Easter, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Happy Easter, friends! Today I have a cute Easter card to share featuring more cute bunnies. These are from Heffy Doodle and they are some of my favorites!

This time, the bunnies are hiding eggs AND carrots! Don’t they look like they are having fun!?

I colored them up with Copic markers and used the same yellow plaid paper for the background and the die cut sentiment (also from Heffy Doodle).

Every year, I think I can make a bunch of cards using all my favorite bunny stamps. It’s a great thought, but might literally be impossible. I’ll probably keep on trying until I finally accomplish it. Lol.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend. See you next time!

Happy Spring Jelly Bean!

By KariV on April 12, 2020 in Easter, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello and Happy Spring! Does it feel like spring where you are? Here we’re getting some beautiful blooms in the desert. Spring is coming! I have a fun springy card for you today, with the cutest happy bunny from Paper Smooches.

Isn’t this bunny the sweetest! He loves carrots, and jelly beans! I used some fun pastel colors with turquoise and I love this color combo.

It leads me to the question: what’s your favorite jelly bean flavor: lemon, lime, or blue raspberry!?

The jelly bean in this set is super sweet, and I had a great time building up the pile of jelly beans, with an Easter Egg on top!

I’m entering this into the Pastel color Challenge over at Paper Smooches.

I hope you had a great Easter! Happy Spring!

Bunny Banner and Shaped Easter Cards

By KariV on March 28, 2018 in Easter, Paper Crafting

Hello again! Today I have a few more Easter projects to share using beautiful products from Our Daily Bread Designs. I used the same Hoppy Birthday stamp set to create a Bunny Banner and some Shaped Easter cards.

This banner was fun to make, but even more fun to display. I used all pastel colors with the star of the show in the center! That bunny is so cute.

The beautiful eggs are die cuts you can find here.

The next project is a shaped card using the same Boho Egg Die that I used above. This time, I used that cut out as a STENCIL and stamped the bunny over the top!

That Boho Egg die is sure beautiful…and look at how it performs as a stencil! I added a bit of colored pencil to the grass and daffodils, and a few Nuvo Drops to add more color. Isn’t this a fun card?

To make this egg shaped card stand up on its own, I just cut a portion of the lower part of the back of the card to be straight!

The last project is this shaped card using the Large Banner Die as the card base:

If you partially die cut the banner, leaving the top of the card in tact, it creates a banner shaped card base! So easy to do and it’s nice to have a different shape.

For this card, I took some finger daubers and added three different colors of ink to the Dazzling Doily stamp to create a softer look. Then I stamped the bunny image over the top. Some Nuvo Jewel Drops finish off the card.

I hope you enjoyed my banner project and shaped cards today. Will this inspire you to try some shaped cards of your own? Happy Easter!
