Easter Hugs - Trinity Stamps Craft Roulette #308

 

How about a card with a little gift enclosed?  This card is my entry for the current Craft Roulette Challenge.  I liked all the parameters, but did struggle a bit with the one that included a bookmark.  I created a little pocket on the front of the card, but liked the card much better with it placed it inside of the card.  What do you think?

This weeks parameter are:

• PROJECT:  Card with a bookmark
• COLORS:  Circus Colors
• ELEMENT: Hug(s)
• RANDOM: Feather(s)

SUPPLIES:

    Trinity Stamps

• Egg Shaped Card Die Set
• Simply Sentimental:Easter Coordinating Die Set
• Simply Sentimental:Easter Stamp Set
• Simply Sentimental:Hugs
• Egg-ceptional Sentiments Stamp Set

    Simon Says Stamps:

• Darling Duckling

    Lawn Fawn

• Stitched Bookmark

This turned out to be a darling little Easter card.  I will definitely have to use an A-7 envelope to accommodate the bookmark. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Froggy Quotes

 

Who doesn't occasionally need a get well card?  Well...this shaker card just might put a smile on someone's face that might be a bit under the weather.  This is inspiration week over at Crafty Stamp Co. and this adorable set is being featured today.

This stamp set is called Froggy Quotes and while there are some great new paper packs, I wanted to ink blend my own.  For this background, I have Salvaged Patina, Mermaid Lagoon and Uncharted Mariner.  I also used these colors for the water in the pond. 

I shopped my stash to find just the right bayou type die to set the scene.  With just a little foam tape I was able to create a small "well" for my little shaker pieces. 

All my little friends were colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

• G82, YG63 - Frogs
• YG93, YG95, YG97 -   Lily Pad
• Y23, RV55 - Flowers, Dragon Fly, Butterfly
• Y08, Y13 - Fireflies

The sentiment is included with the stamp set which makes it so easy to complete your card whether it is on the outside or inside of the card.  Mine is stamped on white cardstock and then I took a Copic marker and dragged it along the outside edges just to put the slightest amount of color on it.

This is really a fun stamp set which includes not only the lily pads, but a crown if you want to make one a prince.  How cute!

Thank you for stopping by today!

You're Eggs-tra Special

 Oh my!  This poor little fellow has a big crack!  I'm glad he is okay though!  

This silly card was made with the new Egg Shaped Card Die Set by Trinity Stamps.  This has been such a fun and versatile die set.  I have used it close to a half a dozen times already.  

To make this card, I cut out two of the large egg dies in the set.  I dusted the edges with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide.  I also spritzed the outer shell with the same color of Distress Spritz which gives it a little shimmer.  I used the die to cut the outer egg in two pieces. Before you go any further, stamp the sentiment on the upper shell using the Egg-ceptional Sentiments Stamp Set. Once I had my yolk built and placed, I glued the bottom of the outer egg on top.  

I punched a little hole where the two shells meet and inserted a small white brad so that my shell moves up and down.  

I cut a piece of patterned paper at 4.0" x 5.25" and glued it on a piece of cardstock cut to 5.5" x 4.25".  Although it is hard to tell from the picture, I popped up my friend using 1mm tape just to give it a tiny bit of dimension.

For the inside of the card, I used the Egg-ceptional Sentiments Stamp Set again.  

To finish up the card, I glued it to an A-2 card base and added a few Sparkle Spots to the corners to add some bling.  

This was a pretty quick card to make and would be perfect for one of the littles in your life.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing Spring!

Positive Tate - A Little Egg-stra

 

Oh that Positive Tate - he definitely has a bit of Spring Fever.  Isn't this little guy by Crafty Stamp Co., just the cutest???  It looks like he is getting ready for the Easter bunny.

This stamp set is called Positive Tate - A Little Eggstra.  He is highlighted on a piece of patterned paper from the new 6x6 Paper Pack called, Summer Lemon and Daisies.  Both the stamp set and the paper pack are part of the new release which became available on March 1st.  

I colored Tate along with his carrots and Easter basket with Copic markers in the following colors:

• E21, E34, E13, E25 - Tate
• Y26, YR23, YR24 - Wagon
• YR21, YR15, YR18, G21, YG63, G94 - Carrots
• Y00, Y04, Y06 - Yellow
• RV21, RV13 - Pink
• BG10, BG11 - Egg

I popped him up and an egg cut out on top of a piece of pearlescent vellum.  

The sentiment is part of the stamps set.  I stamped it on white cardstock with black Memento ink and trimmed it out with a little cardstock.

This is such a happy card but how could it not be with Positive-Tate taking center stage.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing one.
