Egg-spert Opinion

Hello there!  Today i am up on the Trinity Stamp YouTube Channel with this cute and quick card made with the new Egg Shaped Card Die Set and the Egg-ceptional Sentiments Stamp and Coordinating Die Set by Trinity Stamps.  While I have made a few Easter cards with this die, this card would be a great "Cheer Me Up" card.

For the base of this card, I used the die to cut out a bright blue card stock.  I used the largest egg shape to cut out an egg from white cardstock. I used the included die to cut the top of the egg off and give the lower half a crack.  To add a little dimension to the egg, I dusted the edges with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink on all the edges.  

Since the egg is cut in two pieces, you might want to use a little piece of tape on the back to hold the pieces together so it is easier to center and glue on the card base.  

I wanted to add a little dimension to the card with the glasses, so I cut out four sets of glasses and then glued them together.  I used the die from the Sunshine Die Set for the frames.  

Once I had the glasses glued to the egg, I was able to place the eyes where they looked best and gave him a cute look.   I used the included die to cut out his mouth from white cardstock and then colored the pieces with markers so I could get the color I was looking for.  I did not put a nose on him because I felt like it would be too much.  

The little band-aids are also included in the set.  I also cut those out of white cardstock and then used a marker to color the pieces the traditional color.  I glued them along to crack to make it look like they are "holding things together".  

For the sentiment on the front of the card, I used the Egg-ceptional Sentiment Stamp Set to stamp and heat emboss with white embossing powder.  I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  

I played around with the placement of the sentiment words along with those skinny little arms to find just the right placement.

For the inside of the card, I cut out another egg shape from white cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment directly on the egg and then glued it on the right side of the inside of the card.

Doesn't this goofy little guy just make you smile?

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have been inspired to create a egg shaped card of your own.

Happy Easter Build A Bunny

It has been a little bit since I have played along with a Lawn Fawnatics Challenge.  This challenge is All Things Rainbow. It was fun to use the new Build A Critter Spring Accessories with my favorite Build A Bunny.  

For the rainbow on this card, I used the Daisy Bloom Background Stencil with Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink.  Phew!  That is a lot of color in a small area!

For my little friends, I decided to just do a couple of bunnies.  I dressed one as the chick and the other an egg.  

The sentiment was created with the Scripty Happy and Scripty Easter.

Aside from the the cardstock that I blended my background on, I used Lawn Fawn cardstock in the following colors:

• Sunflower
• Pumpkin
• Tide Pool
• Peacock
• Ballet Slippers
• Licorice
• Sugarplum

This turned out to be such a fun and colorful Easter card!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you are staying warm and looking forward to a beautiful Spring!

Spore The Love

Today I was able to make a card for the Unity Stamps Tear and Tone Challenge.  I always enjoy jumping in on challenges because it makes me look through my stash and maybe use a technique that I haven't used before or not for a long time.

This card was created with the Spore The Love Stamp and the coordinating paper pack.

I used Distress Oxide Inks in Wild Honey and Vintage Photo.

I did use a few Copic Markers to add a little extra shading to the image.  One of the things I really like about the Unity Stamps stamps is that the stamps have such incredible detail that it does a lot of the work for you.

I just can't wait to see what the next challenge is!

Thanks for stopping by!
