Easter eggs and daffodils

Hello!  Doesn't that title make you wonder what I've been up to lately?  I had so much fun making the Rocker birthday card for my friend that I wanted to make some more.  Since Easter is coming up, I thought this would be a great time to use the Excellent Eggs dies on a fun fold card.  Ready to create along with me?  I made one version that was pretty close to Susan Campfield's idea, and then I changed things up and made another version of the card.  Hope you like this idea and give it a try. These are the two cards I made using mostly the same materials with some minor changes.  But they look so different because of the colors used.  Let's break them down so you can make them too. The base of the rocker part of the card is Granny Apple Green cardstock that is cut with the Deckled Circles Dies.  The second largest die was used because the diameter of the die is just about 5 3/8" so the card will fit into a regular sized envelope. This one is the first one I made and looks very similar to Susan Campfield's card.  The half-circle layer of green on this card is the back-side of one of the designs in the Delightful Floral DSP.  It is a soft, mottled light green print.  This is an Online Exclusive paper and is gorgeous.  To cut this in a half circle, the third largest die from the Deckled Circles Dies was used.  The die was positioned on an edge of the DSP so only half of a circle was cut.  It was a little big to fit the card base, so a little was trimmed from the straight edge so it fit nicely. The piece was layered onto the folded circle using "green glue". The eggs were cut from two different prints from the Lighter Than Air DSP.  Love these soft pastel prints!  The smallest plain egg was used to die-cut the eggs.  The same size die was used to die-cut eggs from Granny Apple Green cardstock.  The print eggs were attached to the Granny Apple Green eggs to give the back of the card a finished look as you can see here. Tip:  When you're adding the eggs to your card, make sure they are less than 4 1/4" high so then will fit a regular size envelope. The bird from the Easter Bunny set was stamped with Balmy Blue on Basic White cardstock.  It was colored in with Balmy Blue Light and Dark Stampin' Blends.  Daffodil Delight Light Blends was used for the beak. The sentiment comes from the Easter Bunny set and is stamped with Granny Apple Green ink.  It's stamped on a Basic White 3/4" strip of cardstock.  After stamping the ends were punched with the Banners Pick a Punch to flag them.  The banner was attached on the eggs using Dimensionals.  The little bird was added to the banner with a Mini Dimensional.   For this card several of the new Rainbow Adhesive-backed Dots were added for extra interest.  This time I used the Fresh Freesia dots and one of the Petal Pink dots.  A bow made from the White Glitter Ribbon is attached with a Mini Glue Dot under the sentiment. Switching cards now, it is made the same way as the first card, but the colors have gotten a little brighter.  The green print layer is from the Meandering Meadows DSP.  I love how this really gives the feeling of grass to the card.  The eggs are cut and layered onto the Granny Apple Green on the back like the first card, but the prints used have a little extra pizzazz.   The sentiment is the same except the strip is only 5/8" wide.  It's also attached with Dimenisonals.  The bird was stamped with Lost Lagoon ink then colored with Daffodil Delight Light and Dark Stampin' Blends.  Then attached with a Mini Dimensional.   The same package of the Rainbow Adhesive-backed Dots were used, just different colors to match up with the eggs.  These are Balmy Blue and Lemon Lolly colored.  Don't they accent the card perfectly?  A double bow made from the Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon was added for a bit of glitz. The insides of the cards are finished very similarly.  A half circle is die-cut from Basic White cardstock just like the green DSP layers.  The sentiment comes from the Easter Lilies stamp set.  It's stamped in Granny Apple Green ink. The daffodils inside each card are one of the stamps in the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit.  They are colored with markers directly on the rubber to get the two-toned effect.  Just a smidgeon of extra color was added to them by using a Blender Pen and ink. How about just one more picture of these darling Easter Egg Rocker cards.  I'm so pleased with how they turned out.  If they make me smile, hopefully they'll do the same for someone else too. Please go to my Online Store to see all the new Online Exclusive stamps, dies, papers and other goodies.  I'm so NOT tech savvy and I've given up trying to post them here.  Sorry.  My first order of the new products finally came today, so guess what I'll be doing tomorrow?  Stamping!!!  I'm looking forward to creating some fun cards to share with you very soon. Sale-a-bration is over for now, but you can still purchase each one of the items I used for these two cards.  Let me know if you're having any trouble ordering.  I'd be happy to help.  Thanks for stopping by today.  And thanks for leaving a comment along the way.  I love hearing from you!    Happy stamping and creating,  Sharon

Hello friends!  It's April 1 and I find myself wondering where did March go?  For me (where I live) April means hopefully no more snow and warmer temperatures, so yes I'm happy it's April!  Easter is almost here so I had to get a few goodies made.  I tend to like to add a few new things each year to my seasonal decorations and maybe retire a few things too.  This year I decided I needed new easter eggs! I started out with plain papier-mâché eggs in a couple different sizes.  I gave them a good coat of gesso and let them air dry.  I took some Tim Holtz tissue wrap and tore into small pieces, then using ranger multi medium I decoupaged the tissue onto the eggs and let air dry. I choose several distress paint colors to brighten my eggs.  I used a smidge of white to mute the bright colors a little.  I did add a little water to the paint to make it a little more translucent on the eggs.  I choose several Easter and spring themed stamps for my tissue paper.  I used black Stazon ink to stamp on the plain tissue paper.  Stamp one layer of tissue at a time and then air dry.   After I cut out my stamped images, I decoupaged them to my eggs using Ranger Multi Medium and a paint brush.  To ensure the tissue paper will be virtually invisible, make sure you have a generous coat of multi medium applied to your egg before laying the tissue on top.  You can always use your finger as a squeegee to remove excess multi medium, just be careful not to tear the tissue paper. Then air dry.  I wanted to grunge my eggs up a little, so I took the vintage photo distress marker and added a little mark and smudged with my finger in random areas all over the eggs.  If you want it a little darker just add another mark and do a little more smudging. I also colored my bunnies the same way, with a few marks here and there then smudged with my finger.  I just had to make an Easter card to go with my Easter eggs! ;)  To start with I selected a portion of easter paper from the Tim Holtz seasonal paper stash paper pad.  I measured how much I would need to fit inside my cabinet card.  I also selected an additional cut out to overlay on a portion of the paper.  I shaded the paper with walnut stain distress ink and a blending tool and distressed with a bone folder.   I cut out some grass, bows and a curvy banner with Tim Holtz dies using Kraft Core card stock.  I used a standing grip to sand off some color of the cardstock to expose the kraft core.  I shaded the paper pieces with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool.  I created two layers to the grass.   The top layer was a series of three blades glued randomly along the cabinet card.  The second layer used foam squares for dimension.  I used a lower profile foam square for the left side and a higher profile foam square for the right side.  The right side needs a little more room for the bunny to rest, between the two layers of grass.  My original inspiration for this bunny was from a tim project here.  Still love that little wool felt bunny!!!  I colored the Heirloom Rose using mushroom, lemonade and gold alcohol ink.   I stamped several eggs onto distress watercolor paper using colors that I thought would go well with my theme.  I misted a little water onto the stamp after it was inked to create that watercolor color affect on the paper.  Then dried the watercolor paper with a heat tool.  I used pumice stone distress ink to stamp speckles onto the eggs.  I cut out the eggs, then shaded with walnut stain distress ink and a blending tool.  Then distressed with a bone folder.   I placed eggs between layers and blades of grass and adhered to card using glue.  I found the word "blessings" in Tim's big chat stickers and thought it would work great for my card.  I shaded with antique linen distress ink and cut notches out of each side with my scissors.  I diecut the curvy banner with Kraft Core cardstock #2, but I decided to give it a flip and use the kraft color instead of the pink.  I stamped Easter using Hero Arts Printers Type alphabet set and black Archival Ink.  I added a crinkle ribbon bow and finished gluing everything in place.  This card is headed out the door today to my parents house!  Happy soon to be Easter!  If you have any questions or if there's anything I missed please let me know I love your comments, I appreciate each and everyone of them!  As always thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next time!  xx Bobbi I've listed the products below, used to create this project.  I am part of various affiliate programs including Simon Says Stamp.  When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase thru that link (at no extra cost to you), I receive a small commission.  Thank you, I genuinely appreciate your support!
