Animal Pile Up Easter Cards

Hello and happy Easter! This week went by really fast and I didn't have time to share all the Easter cards I made. I'm sharing three cards in this post and they all feature the Spring Pile Up image by Newton's Nook. Copic markers were used to color the images and then they were die cut using the coordinating die. The Happy Easter die cut sentiment (pictured below) is from the coordinating die set. When making my cards I rarely make two exactly the same. I always change the papers and colors to make them look different. However, when pressed for time I will use the same layout over and over. For these Animal Pile Up Easter Cards I did take some extra time and created different layouts. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

EGG-cellent Easter Card

Happy Easter! Today I'm sharing the card I made for my four year old nephew. He currently loves dinosaurs, so I found this cute dinosaur image on Etsy by Mystitchbackintwine. Copic markers were used to color the image and then it was fussy-cut. The EGG-cellent Easter sentiment was made with the computer and the patterned papers are from the Dino Friends paper pad by Echo Park (2016). It's definitely a non-traditional Easter card but he loved it and that's what matters. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Newton's Rain Boots Card

Hello! This week is going by really fast and I realized I still needed to make my card for the Inky Paws sketch challenge. So, this morning I colored this Newton's Rain Boots image and made this card. The papers are from one of my favorite Doodlebug Designs paper pads called Hello Sunshine (2014). I loved it so much I bought three of them. To color the image I used Copic markers in colors to coordinate with the paper. For the sentiment I decided to use a Thinking of You stamp from the Woodland Spring stamp set by Newton's Nook. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it.

The As You Like It Challenge this week is: Animals or People - which is your favourite and why? My answer is animals, because they make me smile. Most my cards have cute critters and I rarely use images with people on my cards. My stash is full of cute critter images and I always notice cards created by others with cute critters. So, animals win! 🐼😺🐰

Bunny Friends Easter Card

Happy Wednesday! Over the next few days I'll be sharing the rest of the Easter cards I made. They have all been mailed and I'm happy to say I reached my goal of 15 cards. 😊 I'm hoping they will bring a few smiles during this stay at home order we are under right now.

This Bunny Friends Easter Card features an image by Gerda Steiner. The design is simple and easy! Copic markers were used to color the image and then a stitched square die was used to cut it out. The sentiment is by Unity Stamps from the Bunny- Keep You Forever sentiment kit. A little yellow butterfly was added for detail and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Butterfly Dreams Card - TMS #549

It's Tuesday again! These weeks in self-isolation are flying by. My hubby has been home with me for the last couple of weeks and it looks like he will be here until April 30th if not longer. So, I'm thankful I have plenty of crafting supplies to keep me busy!

This week our sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches is perfect to make a quick and easy card. I decided to make a card for one of my nieces, so I used pink. The focal stamp is one I picked up from the dollar bin at Michael's a couple of years ago. We would love for you to join us this week!

Hoppy Easter Card

Hello! Last night I wrote a list of family and friends I usually send cards to and realized I still need about 10 more Easter cards. So, that's what I will be working on over the next few days. Thankfully I've already created the designs I'm using, I just need to make the cards. 🐰

This Hoppy Easter Card features images by Newton's Nook from their Hop into Spring and Bitty Bunnies stamp sets. Copic markers were used to color the images and the coordinating dies were used to cut them out. The patterned paper is from the Hello Easter paper pad by Echo Park (2018). Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
