Stamp 'n' Stack March - The results!

Hi Everyone,

Here's some photos of the Easter notecards and baskets we made at my Stamp 'n' Stack on Friday night. Should I warn you the projects feature the Chocolate Bunny Stamp again? hehehe   

The Regal Rose Set

The Apricot Appeal Set

The Garden Green Set

The Going Grey Set

The Brocade Blue Card (the basket had been misplaced - ooops!)

The design of the baskets has been cased from Dawn's Stamping Studio. The papers are all from the Level 1 Hostess Rewards Set and come as a 6" square with lots of different patterns.

I kept the projects fairly simple as I had everyone work through them at their own pace with a tutorial and a sample notecard/basket to work from. It's the first time I've done a class this way and I think (hope) everyone felt a great sense of accomplishment with their projects.

If you would like any details, please email me.

Thanks for looking,

Back with more bunnies!

Hi Everyone,

I don't think I could blame you if you are coming to the conclusion that I love chocolate bunnies! lol

But I'm being good and sticking with the non-chocolate sort and thus have made some more Easter themed cards with my Stampin' Up! Bunny! I made 2 of each of these cards towards the Easter raffle at the Playgroup we attend each week.

(The blotch in this photo from my camera -

I've no idea why! The card looks fine in real life)

Materials Used:
Stamp: Chocolate Bunny, "For You" sentiment from Vintage Labels (Free Sale-a-bration Set)
Card: Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Regal Rose & Whisper White
Designer Series Paper: Sweet Always
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Other: Whisper White grosgrain ribbon, silver thread from my stash, Scallop square punch, Scallop edge punch, dimensionals

JAI's 7th Challenge - Second Attempt

Hi All,

Now I'm sure you are all really falling off your seats because here's my 3rd post for the day! Its my 2nd entry for the Just Add Ink Challenge. I've used my Chocolate Bunny again but in a different way because I actually used my BRAYER!!! OMG!! How many of you have a brayer in your cupboard gathering dust?? My mission this month is to actually get some ink on it and create some projects!

Right, so here's the photos:

The pint sized hand grabbing the card is my youngest daughter - aka the card thief!! She promptly stole this card and gave it a hug! Then decided to sit nicely looking at it, wait for me to try and take a photo and rip the bow off the card!! AAARRRGGGH! That particular bow took me ages to get right as I wasn't pulling it very tight!

Anyway, here's a close up of the bunny but it doesn't include the new bow:

Now the trick with this one is to ink up your brayer with your chosen colours (in this case - pink passion, tempting turquoise and green galore (although you can't actually see any green on the bunny, but that's a good thing right considering he's the Easter bunny and we don't want mouldy choccies!)

I then spritzed the entire brayer with some water and rolled onto some glossy white cardstock. When it was dry (which didn't take very long), I stamped the bunny in black Staz-on ink and cut him out. The bunny is then layered on some pink passion card (from my scrap stash!) and trimmed with a little border this time. Then its just a matter of layering all the other card & ribbon pieces together and adhering your "hyper-colour" bunny on with some dimensionals.

Materials Used:

Stamps: "Chocolate Bunny" & "One of a kind"

Cardstock: Green  Galore, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron & Pink Passion

Ink: Black Staz-on, Versamark

Other: Tempting Turquoise Stampin' Write Marker, Dimensionals, So Saffron ribbon (2009 bonus), Piercing Tool and Mat Pack

Just Add Ink Challenge #7

Hi Everyone,

Two posts in 1 day.. Wow! But at least this time I'm posting a pic of a card for the Just Add Ink Challenge and not more of my rambling!

This week is week 7 and we have been set a colour challenge by the powers that be with the colours:

And this is my card:

Firstly, I have to confess, in my excitement (read overwhelming need to clear my scrap stash), I picked out Gable Green cardstock instead of Green Galore - wasn't that silly! Anyway, it has been stamped with Green Galore flowers so hopefully that'll make up for my error!

Now, for some reason, my camera added a black splodgy mark on the bunny in this next photo- its not there in real life! But it does show the layering detail. The Bunny is a limited release from the Summer Mini Catty (he's only $13.95 - BARGAIN!) and he's been stamped with So Saffron ink and layered upon dimensionals onto the white oval over the top of a 2nd stamped bunny. I also added a scalloped border with some So Saffron card (click here for the instructions).

Oh and the sentiment says "everybody's favourite" which I think is very appropriate at Easter time with all these bunnies and chocolate around!

Materials Used:

Stamps: "Chocolate Bunny" (Summer Mini 2009-2010); "One of a Kind" (pg 95 of IBC) "Cute Converse" (Retired)

Cardstock: So Saffron, Pink Passion, Tempting Turquoise & Green Galore

Ink: So Saffron, Green Galore

Other: Scallop Border Punch, So Saffron Ribbon (2009 bonus), Dimensionals, Sponge Daubers
