Gettin' My Peep On!!!

Hey Peeps!! I'm hopping on to share a few more Easter cards I made using Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit. I can't get enough of the ADORABLE peeps in the stamp set included in the kit. There is a coordinating die set for the peeps too - how cool is that?!?! This month's kit is sold out but April's kit is available so grab one before they fly out the door!! Here's my first card - very simple to make sure the sweet peep is the center of attention. I did all my stamping with the Misti tool - one of the best purchases I've made lately!! 

The stamp set included several different faces for the peeps - I love this one with the eyes close. 

Just a few sequins, some twine and a sentiment and the card is done! 

My second card started with a watercolored background. I then added a Peep Family using different patterned papers from the kit.

The peep family is seriously cute. 

I will create more with this kit but I wanted to get my Easter cards done on time. 

Happy Easter to everyone - hope you have a great time with family and friends! I'll be back next week with more projects!! 

Easter Cards

Hi Everyone. I was reasonably creative this past weekend and I managed to make a few Easter cards. I used Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit to create my first card. This kit is so adorable and perfect for Easter! Here's a peek at the kit 

The stamp set is super cute - the peeps are so sweet and a matching die for the peeps is included. I created a simple card using one of the larger peeps from the stamp set. Here's my card

How cute is the chocolate peep?!?! I added a pom pom for the tail and added a few sequins that were included in the kit.

For my second card I used a water colored egg I had leftover from my last Mixed Media Monthly DT project. You can see that project >>here<<. I used Lawn Fawn papers for my card.

I added black striped washi and stamped the sentiment in black which pops off the brightly colored background. I also added some sequins for a bit of sprakle! 

Thanks for visiting me today and enjoy the rest of your week!!

Lawn Fawn Sunflower Notecard. I die cut a circle with the
Stitched Circle Stackables Die Set and layered that on top of a doily. I then stamped the adorable basket of eggs, a few extra eggs, including the cute little faces on the eggs. I colored and die cut the basket of eggs and the extra eggs. I added a grass border using the Grassy border die by Lawn Fawn. Here's my card ...

5 for 5 Blog Hop Event: Easter | Day 3

 Welcome to Day 3 of our 5 for 5 Blog Event! This month's event runs from March 16th until March 20th and is based on Easter.
Today's theme is "Watercolor". I created a card for today's project. I started with Ranger's Distress Watercolor Cardstock - card size and trimmed it to 4x4". This paper is AWESOME for watercolor and comes in 8.5 x 11" sheets and precut for cards. I used a stamp by Memory Box called Easter Egg Tree. I inked the stamp with Ranger's Archival Jet Black Ink and stamped onto the watercolor paper. I grabbed some Ranger's Distress Inks "Peeled Paint" and Tumbled Glass" and water-colored the background grass and sky. I then took some Ranger Distress Markers and colored in the eggs. Once dry, I colored in the eggs with clear glitter glue which made the eggs really pop! I added a sentiment and was done!

Here's a close up of the colored eggs ...

I am offering a prize and all you need to do is leave a comment on each of the 5 days of the hop to qualify. Here's a peek at my prize. I picked spring themed products including some lovely Studio Paints ...

 Welcome to Day 2 of our 5 for 5 Blog Event! This month's event runs from March 16th until March 20th and is based on Easter.
Todays theme is "Pink and Lavender". I made a cute little tag to give to a friend who is helping me out. The background was created using a piece of paper from Lawn Fawn's "Hello Sunshine" 6x6 petite paper pad. To create the grass I used Lawn Fawn's Grassy Border Die and a piece of paper from "Let's Polka" 6x6 petite paper pad. The cute tulips were stamped and then die cut with Lawn Fawn's "Eggstra Special Easter" Stamps and Dies Set. I have used this set a lot for this Easter!

 

I embossed the sentiment and hearts. The adorable little heart is also part of the stamp set! I used a Wink of Stella Brush Pen on the tulips but the picture didn't capture the awesome glitter. Here's a close-up of the tulips.

Love how this makes me feel like Spring is almost here!! Please stop by and give some love to the 5 for 5ers - you will love what they created!

So, without further ado, Welcome to Day 1 of our 5 for 5 Blog Event! This month's event runs from March 16th (today) until March 20th and is based on Easter.

 

Todays' theme is "Bunnies". I created a small, simple, square card that features an ADORABLE bunny from Lawn Fawn's "Eggstra Special Easter" Stamps and Die Set. I embossed a small white square and used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Square Stackable Dies to add a nice stitched edge. I then mounted this on Lawn Fawn's Walnut Notecard that I cut to a 3.5" square. I colored the bunny with alcohol markers, added a sentiment and some tiny butterflies.

 

 Here's a close-up of the bunny ...

 

 So cute and easy to make!! Please hop on over and check out the projects from the Designers below. Some of us are offering prizes so it's worth checking out each blog. I WILL be offering a fun prize which I will mention later this week.
