Bunny + Carrots

Comments: 0

I trust everyone had a great Easter.  I know it was a busy one for a lot of us, but it time to focus on new card ideas.  I pulled into the driveaway from church yesterday and saw a bunny rabbit in my yard. I thought this is a perfect sign of spring and I have a great card to get started.  So here is my bunny with his favorite food…… carrots. I hope he stays out of my garden.

These Stampin’ Up! products are going to retired.  Oh, so sad! The Basket Brunch is not just for Easter, but all different occasions. Earlier this month for the Blog Hop, I did a Mother’s Day card using the Basket Builder with its’ framelit.  Here is a spring card that is so easy to make.

Stampin’ Up! Friendship or Hello card made with Basket Bunch stamp set and designed by Demo Pamela Sadler. See more cards at stampinkrose.com #stampinkpinkrose #etsycardstrulyheart

Tips and Tricks

Color:  Pumpkin Pie with Cucumber Crush is a must for the carrots. Then it is a  matter of what will compliment the carrots and not over power it.  Elegant Eggplant came to my rescue. I have seen numerous baskets in purple.  Not all baskets need to be brown.

Stamp Set: Just about everything you need is in this card with the exception of the words. This is where Circle of Spring is used. Remeber you save 10% when you bundle.

  • Circle of Spring

Ink:  One of the colors used here is retiring. I guess we will just need to find another green.  Notice tere is a color missing. Keep reading.

  • Archival Black
  • Cucumber Crush
  • Elegant Eggplant

Paper:  Two different colors is all you need.

  • Whisper White
  • Elegant Eggplant

Embellishment:  Just two is all you need.  In the picture, I did one with white ribbon, but I don’t think it is needed.

  • Lace Doiley
  • Dimensionals

Accessories:  Now for our great helpers.

  • Basket Builders Framelits Dies
  • Big Shot
  • Trimmer
  • Water Colored Pencils

Tip: I used a touch of a touch of Melon Mambo and White Water Colored Pencils on the ears.

Facebook:  You can find another card on Facebook that uses Circle of Spring. Remember this stamp set is retiring.

It Is Video Time Panel Card

Comments: 2

As I said in the video this is a new way to shoot the video. I realize I need to turn the card around for you to see it. So this upside down, but think it shot okay otherwise.  Please give me a comment about these video.  I can always go back to the old way, but this way you get a close up.

It Is Time for a Color Challenge

Comments: 2

Paper Players is out with another challenge.  This challenge is requiring Mint Macaron, Perfect Plum, and Sahara Sand.  So I am using so returning products and some that are not.  You’ve Got This and Better Together stamp sets are not retiring.  Along with Butterflies Thinlits. However, Perpetual Birthday Calendar and Falling Petals are leaving us.  Two of the colors. … Perfect Plum and Sahara Sand are returning, but we will miss Mint Macaron.

I did this card as a Sympathy card as I always feel we are short on these type of cards.  The Mint Macaron offers a smoothing effect. However, you can easily use it for a wide variety of occasions including Mother’s Day.

Stampin’ Up! Sympathy card made with You’ve Got This stamp set and designed by Demo Pamela Sadler. See more cards at stampinkrose.com #stampinkpinkrose #etsycardstrulyheart

Tips and Tricks

Color:  With Sympathy cards you need colors that work well together and give a calming effect. This is why Mint Macaron is so dear to my heart. It is also a neutral color for babies.

Stamp Set: As a reference above this card uses a mixture of stamp sets which tie the colors together.

You've Got This Clear-Mount Stamp SetPerpetual Birthday Calendar Photopolymer Stamp Set

  • You’ve Got This
  • Perpetual Calendar
  • Better Together (words)

Ink:  I was able to use all of the ink colors. Again, this keeps everything in balance and tied together.

 

  • Mint Macaron
  • Perfect Plum
  • Sahara Sand

Paper:   Now is when you don’t want to over do it in your paper colors.  Your focal is your flower and butterfly.To make that your focal use Whisper White so as not to distract.

  • Whisper White
  • Mint Macaron

Embellishment: The butterfly I feel always needs something in the middle. It is your choice pearls or rhinestones.

  • Rhinestone
  • Dimensionals

Accessories:  

  • Falling Petals Embossing Folder
  • Big Shot
  • Buterflies Thinlits
