CAS Easter Greetings!

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's way! I had to get one more card in with the Bunny Friends stamp set! It's so stinkin cute I'm gonna hate putting it away until next Spring!

Today I'm playing along with the Just Us Girls Challenge. This time they're looking for CAS - Clean and Simple. That's always fine with me when times are busy like now - with Easter tomorrow! 

I've been feeling sick all week so I called dinner off, but if I'm feeling better DH will be happy he won't have to do the cooking! 

I cut the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Pieces die from a panel of white card stock. Next I stamped the sentiment under the window openings.

Using a ruler I measured and marked a piece of watercolor paper where the window dividers were and added a simple watercolor wash to each area in spring colors.

Next I stamped, colored and die cut the Bunny Friends. This was super easy because I left them all card stock white except for little accents like cheeks, bellies and ears. 

This card would be really easy to reproduce and has lots of white space - so YES! A CAS Score! 

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Easter celebration!

The 12 Kits of Occasions - March 2018

HI and thanks for stopping by! It's the last day of the month and you know what that means right? Well for me it's time for the reveal of The 12 Kits of Occasions kit. The 12 Kits of Occasions is a group of 12 friends who all love to paper craft. Every month we take turns making a kit for the rest of the group. We all receive the same kit with the same items. On the last day of the month we reveal what we each made with the kit. It's fun to see how we used the product in different ways. Sometimes the projects are similar and sometimes they are very different.

This month our hostess is Jessica Davis from The Paper Parade - check out this beautiful kit she put together for us! The kit is filled with expressions of "Thanks" and some of the cutest images ever! There's lots of new products that are new to me - you'll find all the exact ingredients over at the 12 Kits of Occasions blog!

It was a real treat going through all the goodies in this package - papers that look like they were water colored and sentiments stamped in color. I got out the markers and started coloring before I got the whole package unwrapped! There's cute owls, loving bears, and even a unicorn! The only thing from the kit that I didn't seem to use is the twine! Thanks so much Jessica for this amazing kit!

Want to see more designs created with this amazing kit? Hop on over to our group page.. The 12 Kits of Occasions where you'll find a list of all the ingredients for this kit and a sample from each of the team members. I know you're going to love what you see!

Thanks for stopping by and have an amazing day!

Tupelo Designs LLC - Beary Good Day!

It's Friday! I hope you're having a great day. I've been struggling with the flu and feel like I'm good for only a few hours at a time.  It's still cold outside and I'm day dreaming about warmer weather and spring flowers. My crafty space can take me any where I want to go.

Today I'm playing with Waffle Flower Happy Days stamp and die set from Tupelo Designs LLC! It's perfect for making a spring scene.

The grassy hills were cut with MFT Snow Drifts, but you can use any border dies you like. I cut different shades of green card stock to add some depth to the hills. The set includes a few sentiments - I stamped mine directly on the grass with Versafine Onyx Black.

The images are all stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic Markers. You can find all the colors you need here in the store. 

The cloudy sky was made using a die cut cloud border as a mask. I used Tumbled Glass Distress ink to make soft clouds.

The finishing touch is a few sparkling clear sequins for some shine. I love the way this scene turned out!

Fusion Card Challenge - Happy Spring!

Hopefully Spring is coming soon! It's still cold and rainy here and I've been under the weather. The flu seems to go hand in hand with the changing weather! I hope you're staying healthy and not going through this with me! 

A new challenge begins today at Fusion Card Challenge! I love the inspiration photo - a cute bunny wreath covered in spring blooms and pastels. It's ok if you're not crazy about the photo, you can play along with the sketch! If you're really feeling clever you can fuse the two images together for your creation! Here's what I made...

I made my own wreath of flowers - only my little bunny is throwing them up in the air surrounding the "Happy Spring" message.

I started by arranging the bunny and flowers from Pretty Pink Posh Bunny Friends on a sheet of clear plastic. Then I layered it over different colored backgrounds before settling on green.

I added Twisted Citron Distress Ink to a card panel and softly had it fade out from the center. I splattered it with water and some ink before stamping the sentiment in the center. Finally I moved the florals from my clear sheet and adhered them to the inked panel.

I can't wait to see what you make for this challenge ! I hope I see you at Fusion Card Challenge!
