Happy Bunnies

 Hello all! I hope you a re enjoying the extra long weekend. We went away for a couple of days. Originally we should have been in Disneyland but our holiday got cancelled due to the pandemic so we went to Chessington instead - it was so much fun! Anyway onto some crafting featuring some cute bunnies...

I love creating slimline cards at the moment but they are always so much trickier to photograph! This card features super cute bunny stamps from Hello Bluebird called Meadow Bunnies. I coloured them all with Copics and cut them out on my Scan & Cut Machine. I blended Dried Marigold & Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks onto white card then die cut using the Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics Dies. I blended a little Shabby Shutters Distress Ink behind each of the windows and along the hillside. I used MFT Puffy Clouds Die-namics Dies and added a touch of grey Copic Ink onto them. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and I added some Clear Diamonds to finish.

Supplies;
Hello Bluebird Stamps - Meadow Bunnies
Mama Elephant Dies - Slim Card Basics
MFT Die-namics Dies - Puffy Clouds
Distress Oxide Inks - Shabby Shutters, Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold
Simon Says Stamp - Sentiment Strips
Copic Markers

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you all have a fabulous day and stay safe.

The frame is from MFT Stamps and is from the Blueprints 27 Die Set. The tree is die cut using Lil Inker Design Spooky Trees. I added a couple of Dew Drops to finish.

Somebunny Special

Hi all,

It's a lovely sunny spring day here - finally! I thought I would share a pastel spring card to fit in with today. It's a very clean and simple card for me. I am still obsessed with cute bunny stamps as you can see...

For this card I used Hello Bluebird Stamps called Easter Egg Hunt. Although they do have some Easter images in this stamp set there are so others that are great for just general cards. I coloured the stamps with Copics and cut out them. I created the background using my Distress Oxides (Shabby Shutters & Spun Sugar) and a MFT Cloud Edge Stencil. I added a stamped sentiment, a strip of striped paper and some Nuvo Drops.

I will be back soon :)

Easter Bunnies

Good morning,

I am really loving my stamping at the moment - can you tell?! Last night I made a ton of blended backgrounds so I can whip up some cards quickly along with my coloured stamped images. Today I am sharing an Easter card made with one of my favourite brands...

For this card I used Hello Bluebird Stamps called Easter Egg Hunt. I coloured them with Copics and die cut each one. I created the blended background using Distress Oxide inks - Shabby Shutters, Spun Sugar & Broken China. I used quite a few MFT Dies - grass, fence and wonky edge rectangle dies. The Easter word is by Heffy Doodle and I cut it several times to make it a bit more raised.

I will be back tomorrow :)

Hi all :)

I have been busy practicing blending backgrounds with my distress inks. As usual I ended up making it into a card using these gorgeous autumnal stamps by Hello Bluebird...

I stamped and coloured the images using Copic Markers and added some highlights using a white pen. I added a sentiment and mounted onto brown card. I created the card shape using a Tattered Lace Die.

I will be back tomorrow with something a little different.
