My card today is made with the Easter Bunny stamp set. And I am thinking of it as an Easter Card. However I hope you will see the versatility it has for other uses. The Little Moments are wonderful moments in my book.
Stamp set
All of the images and sentiment are from the Easter Bunny stamp set. I was quite surprised how flexible this set is and am thrilled that it is carrying over to the next Annual Catalog. The simple eggs and sweet sentiment are fun next to the paper. And here is a look at the inside of the card.
Inside View
I thought this was just a precious little image! All of the images were stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored using Stampin’ Blends. The bunny was stamped using Soft Suede for a softer looking outline.
Papers
Both of the front papers are from the Flowers & More Designer Series Paper Pack. It is a Host reward in the Mini Catalog and will be going away at the end of the month with the catalog. It is an awesome pack of bright colors and designs. These touched my humor with the leaves being grass and the stripes being sky for my little scene. I pulled the balmy blue for the card base as a neutral and softer color.
Extra Elements
To give some extra pizzaz to the front focal layer, I used the Decorative Circle Punch. I do really love this punch as an alternative to a plain circle. Or a layer for a circle since we are getting some circles returning to the store!! Additionally, I added a strip of the Balmy Blue Double Stitch Ribbon as a joiner for the two DSP pieces. And to finish the card of course there has to be some bling! This was accomplished with a mix of the blue and pink Adhesive Backed Pastel Sequins! There are a lot of sequins in this pack and in different sizes.

The Easter Bunny is coming on today’s card. Who doesn’t love a quick and easy card that is most definitely Spring inspired.
Stamps
The stamping on this card could not be easier! And the focal Bunny stamp is stamped on some fun mosaic paper using Basic Gray Ink. I love when I remember that it is perfectly fine to stamp on DSP. When you do that, there is no need to color the image as the paper gives it the color and design.
The grass stamp is a small one. But being Photopolymer, it is very easy to line it up going across the page.I stamped with Granny Apple Green and then colored with Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend. And the Happy Ester was a quick stamp using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
Punch
Sadly the Easter Bunny Punch is out of stock right now. The Chinese New Year does cause issues with our stock. But it will be back before the catalog ends. Luckily the bunny images are all easy to cut out and the punch only fits this one I used. Personally I believe this card would be an adorable Welcome Baby or Baby Shower card simply by changing the sentiment.
Paper
I have to say that this fun polka dot paper makes me think of colored Easter Eggs. That makes it perfect for this card. And easy to pull a variety of colors from it for the other pieces. Both the layer and Bunny DSP pieces are from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. It is the Free with a $100.00 qualifying order with Sale-A-Bration. Using the polka dot piece, I pulled the Bunny sheet and then matched them to Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, and Fresh Freesia.
Embellishments
To complete this card I needed just a bit of bling. I found that with the Glossy Dots on page 143 of the Annual Catalog. Placing the dot on the grass makes it seem like an egg waiting to be found. (At least my imagination says that!) And to give the Bunny his bow, I used the Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend to color the White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack. Using the Silicone Mat, I layed the string out and held one end while drawing the Blend across it. This goes very quickly and dries almost immediately.

I am hopping a holiday ahead with today’s card. Instead of Valentine, I have an Easter card to share. This one is a cute little bunny with a treat for you.
Stamps
The adorable little bunny with his carrot treat is from the Easter Bunny Bundle. This bundle is a punch bundle. However, I have used one of the bunnies that does not fit the punch. The carrot was the layout idea. I wanted him to hold a carrot and the punch bunny is a side view. All of the stamps used are from the stamp set.
The bunny is stamped with Crumb Cake Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. For the carrot I still stamped with Crumb Cake, colored with Stampin’ Blends, and then fussy cut it. The adorable sentiment is from the stamp set as well.
Dies
Since I did not utilize the Bunny Punch, I searched through my Die sets for one that would work with the little scene I created. This Die set is amazing and I see a lot of uses in my future cards. The tag die used for the bunny scene is from the Something Fancy Die set. This is also a bundle with the Something Fancy stamp set. The stamp set is an awesome sentiment set. And one I will fully use I am sure, but not today!
For the sentiment used here I wanted a shape that was a bit different from the usual. Once again I found it in the Something Fancy Die set. This little hexagon shaped die fit the sentiment perfectly. And I really love that it is a different shape!
Paper and Embellishments
Today’s paper is a bright and cheery one that fits in with my bunny perfectly. It is from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. This is one of the Sale-A-Bration paper packs. I love the brightness and the little designs of green and white.
To play off of the carrot I wanted some additional orange. The Pale Papaya Faux Velvet Trim is gorgeous and really soft. But when placed on this bright paper I felt like you could see the design through the velvet. With a quick look at the SU colors, I decided Pumpkin Pie was a perfect background. It is a little deeper orange than the Pale Papaya but they really compliment each other. Adding that strip of card stock really made the orange work. And to finish off with some bling, I added a few of the Champagne Rhinestones to the sentiment layer and top of the tag.

A Double Z fold card comes in such a variety of looks. And I love that! I have one today sharing the Double Z fold together with the Easter Friends stamp set. The You’re A Peach DSP has some softly colored papers that mix wonderfully!
This is a card I made over a week ago for a class. As I was typing this, I realized that several of the different products are the same as what yesterday’s card used! And the two cards are nothing alike.
Fun Fold
This Double Z fun fold is a really simple one. As I mentioned at the beginning, there are quite a lot of variations of the fold and some look nothing like this one. To begin, the base card is cut 4 1/4 X 8 1/2 and scored at 1 1/2 and 3 on the 8 1/2 side. And the second Z is cut 2 X 8 1/2 and scored the same measurements and again on the 8 1/2 side.
For the inside layer, it is stamped before adding and measures 5 1/4 X 4. Place the two Z folded pieces together before adding the DSP. Align the card base with the Z folds on the right hand side. The strip Z fold will have the Z on the left hand side. It is easiest to adhere the pieces with the Z sections folded instead of flat. After the band is attached, layer the 1 1/4 X 4 piece of DSP. That piece will cover the connection of the two pieces. For the band, the DSP is cut 3 7/8 X 1 3/4 and the small 1 1/4 X 1 3/4.
Stamp Set
This sweet Easter Friends is a wonderful set to have on hand for several occasions. The chicks are adorable and so happy. They are stamped with Mango Melody and then colored with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. Little chicks need some grass to play in. So the grass image was randomly stamped several times. To tie in with the blue of the DSP, the Happy Easter is stamped using Misty Moonlight Ink.
Papers
Knowing this was an Easter card with the baby chicks, I looked for paper that seemed to match that theme. It was found in the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper. The Pear Pizzaz card base was pulled not only for the green grass but to match the stems of the blue flowers. And the polka dot blue is just a happy piece that coincidentally matched the flower piece. To pull the chicks’ color into the card in another place, I used that as the backing of the My Friend sentiment.
Another of the products that are also in yesterday’s card is the bling. Waves Rhinestone Jewels are becoming a quick “go to” because of the different colors. The green rhinestone was the choice once again on that layered sentiment. For the same reason as yesterday, that green perfectly matches the green in the card. Thankfully that green shade seems to pick up the color of what it is near. I love that.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature Flowers & Fauna, a brilliant starting point for so many projects. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Happy Hop Day, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I have a 2 for 1 deal for you today. I couldn’t Not make a St. Patrick’s Day card, and I wanted to follow the Hop theme with a pretty Easter card. Even though both cards follow the title, you get two cards! And I apologize in advance for a longer than normal post.
First is my Hop card. I made an Easter wreath like I would place on my door.
I have been using quite a lot of the Highland Heather of late. But when I think of Easter, it is my go to. My Mom loved purple and would always dress me in purple when I was young. All of my Easter dresses were purple!! So you understand my color scheme.
All of the wreath items are from the Arrange A Wreath Bundle. I stamped the base of the wreath, then added a die cut wreath on top for texture. The eggs and flowers are also from the bundle. As is the sentiment!
I decided to use the Stitched Rectangle Dies to add a bit to the layers. And to tie in the sentiment, I used one of the smaller dies. I had to adjust the size, which is fairly easy with the stitched rectangles. There are several videos out there showing how to do it. Basically you just place the paper back into the die at the desired length and match up the already made stitches and the die. Easy Peasy!
For the finishing touches, I added a Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon bow to the wreath. I also added some of the Resin Hearts to the centers of the flowers and one on the sentiment banner.
Here is my St. Patrick’s Day card. I used the Jar of Flowers Bundle for the jar. I die cut the shamrocks by cutting flowers from the Pierced Blooms Dies and cutting off some of the petals. The white flowers are from the Pierced Blooms also. The background is the gorgeous Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.
The finishing touch is the tag and bow. The tag is from the Hydrangea Dies. I have used it quite a few times. It is the perfect size! I added the White Baker’s Twine from the Snail Mail Trim Combo. It is wrapped around the jar and then an added bow.
I have the supply list for both cards at the bottom of the post! Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Renae Novak at Blessed By Cards. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Thank you for hopping along with us. If you get stuck during the Blog Hop, please use this line-up as a guide:
I do not normally post on the weekends. But I had a cute idea that was appropriate to share for a little Easter project. I had the idea to use the Delightful Tag Topper Punch to make a little basket to hold 3 X 3 cards and envelopes. After I made it, I thought it would make an adorable Easter Basket. I did a video and hopefully you could make some of these for your little ones.
If you get my blog posts through an email, you may need to open it into a web browser to see the video. I haven’t got all of the kinks out of the process yet. They say practice makes perfect…..I sure hope so!!
I decorated the basket with the Welcome Easter little chick stamp. I stamped it on a piece of Thick Whisper White card stock and die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The chick is stamped a little above half way on the die cut. I used the design of the die , where you can see the chick’s top knot, as a line. I scored across there and then secured it to the bottom of the basket and to the side. You could also simply cut off that section and adhere the piece flush with the bottom of the basket.
The chick is stamped in Gray Granite Ink and colored using the Stampin’ Blends. The yellow is both of the Daffodil Delight Blends. The feet and beak are colored with the Light Mango Melody Blend. I went around the chick with the Light Pool Party Blend.
The DSP is from the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper and is one of my famous “back side” of the paper. I have a tip in constructing the basket. Put the DSP on while the box is laying flat. I messed up in the video and forgot to do that!! Of course I would make a mistake 🙂
Here is a picture of the 3X3 holder that I made originally
I hope you can use this idea to spread some extra cheer this Easter. It will be different for all of us. Take care!!
