Some Bunny Loves You

I have two cards a few different challenges to share today.  The first one is for Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday challenge.  This week's challenge was to make a no-sewed quilt.  Doodlebug's Hello Spring 6x6 pad is perfect for this time of year.  The colours are so cute and the patterns are the best.  I cut 2x2 squares in three different patterns and laid them down in a quilt-like pattern.  Then I used the PTI Quatrefoil plate with their embossing pad for the embossed background.  The Chocolate Bunny die is from Poppy Stamps (I got it from Simon Says) and I used the PTI Scrambled Eggs sentiment to stamp all over him.  This is a good way to add a sentiment if you don't want to take away from the background.  I used Memento Lulu Lavendar and Grape Jelly and backed on a purple card because purple is my fav colour.

The next card is for MFT Wednesday Stamp Club and the Simon Wednesday Challenge.   Here is the sketch:

I love this fun Pure Innocence Bunny Ears stamp.  Not only is she holding an egg, she's got the cutest bunny suit on.  I made her purple and paper pieced the egg using paper from the Doodlebug pad again.  I know this is an MFT sketch, but I couldn't resist trying out my new Lawn Fawn Awesome dies and stamp set.  Love this instagram love and it's so cool to use only part of the image.  I always use the entire image and this time I had to cut off her ears and bottom half.  But it turned out well.  I coloured my instagram image with pastel colours, paper pieced and popped the lens. I stamped my sentiment in Grape Jelly in the bottom corner (from the same PI set) and added some bling.  I love this card.  
  

Easter is my second favorite season after Christmas.  I love the fun activities and cute things associated with spring.  I especially love decorating eggs.  I think it's a good thing we can't buy chocolate bunnies in Japan because I would probably eat too much.  :)

Hoppy Easter Suit

Woohoo, spring is in the air!  I am starting to think about Easter, how about you?

For the March MFT Color Palette Challenge 3, we were asked to used Kraft, Berrylicious, Grapesicle, and Sour Apple (I love MFT colour names).

I am using a retired stamped from MFT, Funny Bunny by Claire Keay.  I super love this kid in the bunny suit.  Kinda makes me want one of my own.  :)  I used a kraft base, a white mat, and a striped purple and white vellum piece from Daiso.  I wanted to put the long vertical diecut on its side (making it horizontal, not vertical...) and put my bunny upright, so a square card works nicely with this.  I added a Fancy Flourish in Sour Apple and a few pearls in coordinating colours from the Doodlebug Spring Pearls assortment.  Thanks for the challenge!  I know it's early...but Hoppy Easter!  (^_~)/

Supplies:

MFT KY - Funny Bunny (retired); MFT Fancy Flourish and Vertical Greetings Die-namics; Cardstock; Daiso Chiyogami (Vellum); Memento Tuxedo Black; Doodlebug Spring Pearls; Copic Markers (BV000, BV00, BV01, G07, R20, Y38).

Feel Better Soon

Yay, back to doing some more cards!  :)  This card was made using the Paper Smooches - Healthy Vibes stamp sets.  I love the cute bandages and the heart on the middle.  So I thought I would made a cute purple card with soft, girly bandages.  The background is stamped with Hero Arts Line Dots in Memento Lulu Lavender and the saying is stamped with Memento Grape Jelly.  It's fun doing a challenge for Paper Smooches Anything Goes.  Hope you join next time!

Grateful for You

I tried out Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday technique today - making a one-layer card.  I was so excited to finally use The Sweet Life stamp set.  It's gorgeous and lovely and knew it would make beautiful layers.  I went for colour in the shade closest to my heart, purple, of course.  I was able to match up the colours nicely with the help of my colour guide and went with Distress Ink Shaded Lilac, Stampin Up Lovely Lilac (retired), and Memento Grape jelly.  The distress ink was kind of splotchy, but I kinda like the effect it made.  My leaves were stamped with Memento Pear Tart and Stampin Up Pear Pizzazz.  The sentiment comes from the Gratitude Journal set.  I think this is my favorite card of the year so far.  It will definitely be going to someone special.  :)

Cheers, Sherri

So, I love the colour purple and knew I could make cute cards for this.  Though only one was required, I made two.

Card number one:

I used my Copic 0.08 Multi Liner to draw the dashed line.

Just loved this saying:

The tinsel string tied at the top for added sparkle.

Card Number Two:  

Close-up on the butterfly:

I used wire and attached it to the back to make his antennae.

I used the same saying here and added glitter glue to the heart.

I tied some American Crafts Twine to the side of the card.  More purple!
