PP339 Colors by Joanne

Hi stampers!  Hope your weekend is going well so far!  We have a nice brunch lined up at church today to celebrate Palm Sunday!  I love brunch almost as much as I love stamping, LOL!  Joanne has a beautiful color palette for the Paper Players today....even though I don't use purple very often, I thought this combo was gorgeous!

This is actually my second card; on the first one I used Crumb Cake instead of Sahara Sand, so I went back to square one and I like this one better:

 I had a marathon Easter-card-stamping session on Friday and came across the retired set "Ears to You"....I thought it would be perfect for today's colors as well as the Freshly Made Sketches sketch:

I stamped the row of bunnies three times, once in each of the colors, and fussy-cut them out, then mounted them on a little diecut square of white cardstock.  I ran my white mat through PTI's Linen Plate to give it some texture, and added a little banner/sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  And I even had a few sequins to match!!

Aren't these little bunnies the cutest?!  I hope you'll find something fun to stamp using these colors--be sure to check out what the DT did with the colors as well:

Cassidy made a card for her little friend Suhavi on Friday; my big shot, punches and glimmer paper got a good workout!  She was quite adamant about having the colors just right!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Paper Players 189

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Nance is our sweet hostess for the Paper Players today, and she has a fun Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for us all today!  What will you choose?

I chose to challenge myself and use the middle horizontal row, making a card shaped like an Easter egg:

I hand-drew an egg shape template,  and cut it out on a folded piece of Whisper White cardstock, leaving a fold at the top, then cut another single one from the Daffodil Delight Polka Dot Parade and adhered it on top.  I stamped the three little bunnies from the retired set, Ears to You, in pastel shades and popped them up on a piece of Whisper White.  I stamped a sentiment from Delightful Dozen and added some little pearl-embellished flowers.  

My final embellishment was a big fluffy Soft Sky seam binding bow!

I just love these colors together!  And I can’t wait to see what your tic-tac-toe creation will look like….share it with us at the Paper Players, and be sure to check out the awesome samples the other team members made as well:

IB67 and SC429

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  This is going to be lickety split fast, as we are headed to an Easter party today at my friend Athena’s house.  Cassidy LOVES Athena, so it should be fun! 

Today’s card is for the sketch at SCS shown here as well as the Inspired By photo this week….is this cute or what?

I rarely do “punny” cards, but I had this idea rattling around in my head for a while:

Corny, I know!  I just couldn’t help it!  This retired chocolate Easter bunny was a perfect choice for the inspiration photo!!!   I used the new 7/8” scallop punch to “bite off” his ears!  I also used the sentiment from Ears to You---still available, until March 31!

My bunny was stamped in Versamark ink on Chocolate Chip cardstock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Can you see the shine?

I had the Crumb Cake piece already embossed, so I just added the pink stripes and embellishments!  Any questions….shoot me an email!

Cassidy was fascinated by the hard-boiled eggs I was making for tomorrow’s egg-dying eggscapade!!!

And you may be able to see a little “boo-boo” under her nose….a little mishap from the other sitter’s house!!! No worse the wear!  Enjoy your day!

Poppin’ Pastels Bunnies

Ah, it’s Saturday!  Hope you have something fun planned for today!  I had a lovely evening stamping with one of my stamp clubs last night!  I’ll share those projects later next week!  Today, I have a card made (again) with the Ears to You stamp set, this time stamped in Versamark and colored with pastels and a cotton puff:

I swiped one of our cute little doilies across my Vanilla craft pad and dried it with my heat tool to cut down on the whiteness; I added some flowers from the Flower Trim line and finished it off with a bow of Vanilla seam binding. 

This is just so soft and sweet, I love this effect! 

Gervais joined my Friday night club for the first time last night, never having stamped EVER!  What a sweetie she is! And let me tell you, this girl took to stamping like a fish to water:

She loved it and I know she can’t wait til our next time together!

Licking the beater!

Thanks for visiting today!

Mojo Monday 281 and NAC36

Hi everyone!  Just a quick post today, a monochromatic Easter card using SU’s Ears to You:

I used the Mojo Monday sketch from this week:

as well as the Nacho Average Challenge colors:

I colored the bunnies with markers, omitting the right one to fit in the circle.  I used papers from the Print Poetry pack, and made a little tag with the Lots of Tags die.  And I even stamped a few little Easter eggs on it with a stamp from the Itty Bitties set! Thanks for looking today!

Poor Cassidy….she has a little cold, and couldn’t even make it to bed after lunch….crashed on the couch:

Ears to You

I loved this little trio of bunnies stamp as soon as I saw it in the new Single Stamp flyer from SU!  (You can see them all here!)   I used to it make three thank you cards yesterday!  Here’s one of them:

I stamped the first three images on a rectangle of Whisper White in Melon Mambo; then I stamped them again in Lucky Limeade and Daffodil Delight, just using scraps and cutting each one out.  I then adhered them to the Melon Mambo-stamped piece, mixing and matching so each one was different!

I also stamped “thanks” from Fabulous Phrases and added a little bunny from Itty Bitties, just for fun!  Thanks for looking today!  Email me if you have any questions!

 

Dressing a baby doll is harder than it looks!
