It's so FLUFFY!!!

Because any opportunity to use a Despicable Me! quote as a post title is a good one. Obviously. Welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, folks! This week, we want to see your CUTE & CUDDLY creations! The Design Team is using Simon Says Stamp exclusives in our projects this week. You don't have to use them to play along, but we LOVE them super lots and if you have some we'd LOVE to see you rock 'em, folks!

I decided to use the super cute bunny in the Melody's Easter clear stamp set for my card. I LOVE this bunny! And, due to the fun Cute & Cuddly theme of this challenge, I decided to pull out a supply I haven't used in AGES! My fun flock! Yup. I flocked that bunny up, yo! 

HAHAHAHA! I crack myself up. It's sad, really. For reals, though. I pulled out the Stampendous! white flock and covered my bunny with it using a zig glue pen to adhere the flock. I love how fluffy he looks! I added a strip of the fabulous new plaid patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and some enamel dots to bring on the color. It's a happy card. I like happy cards.

Hoppy Easter!

Hello, friends! We have a fun Pinterest Mood Board to inspire you, this week, for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! Whether the weather agrees or not (hee-hee...see what I did there?), Spring is coming this week for half the planet, and daggnabbit, we are going to celebrate that!

This week we want to see you created something inspired by this Pinterest Mood board! Choose one image, or a group of images to inspire your design. The Design Team is featuring Bazzill Basics products this week. You don't have to use them to play along, but we would love to see them if you have some on hand!

For this fun little Easter card, I used a few Bazzill products, along with an adorable stamp set from Mama Elephant. You can find my complete supply list at the bottom of this post. I fussy cut the bunny from cardstock and accented him slightly with a Copic for just a bit of visual interest.

Hopping By a Little Late

Happy Monday, folks! I am actually going to share a couple of adorable Easter cards with you that I made prior to the holiday. I used some absolutely adorable Mama Elephant stamps and couldn't just let these ones go unshared!



For this one, I kept it pretty classic. I added the cute little carrot to the bunny's hand and colored the grass using Spectrum Noir markers. The bunny is colored with Copics and the patterned papers are from Chickaniddy Crafts.



And for this one, I had a bit of fun with the bunny! My sister is an actor and her boyfriend works in the film industry, so I wanted to make this one 'stage-worthy' for them. Tee-hee! He was so much fun to put together!

And that, my friends, is all I've got for you today!

Have a Happy!

I'm ALL Ears!

I recently bought a bunch of Mama Elephant stamps because I love them tons and tons and simply didn't have enough of them, SOOO...I treated myself.  YAY! Once they arrived I just wanted to stamp that cuteness over and over again!  I decided to play along with the Mama Elephant Photo Inspiration Challenge!

I combined the super cute Honey Bunny set with some adorable papers from Chickaniddy Crafts.  I love how well these worked together!  I added a bit of a free hand watercolor background behind the bunny and used my heat gun to dry it so I could push the pigments around a little.  I love doing that!  I heat embossed the sentiment using my brand new EK Success Powder Tool to prep the surface.  I am LOVING THAT THING!  So awesome for embossing!

I was super inspired by the colors, but also by the natural feel of the things in the photo.  I tried to incorporate those elements into my design.  A touch of natural burlap string from May Arts was the perfect finishing touch!

You can check out the supplies I used in the links below!  Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Happy!!!

Because Bunnies are Just Adorable

The Eyelet Outlet team has some fun Easter inspiration for you today over on the blog! I created a fun card using one of the new realistic looking Rabbit Brads. I LOVE this Memory Box birch forest stamp and I thought they would pair quite nicely!


I stamped with my new Hero Arts mid-tone Navy... can I just say that is a GORGEOUS INK! I don't know how I was living without it! I LOVE IT! The patterned paper is from Lilybee designs... they do great ginghams! Just sayin'.


Head on over to the Eyelet Outlet blog to check out what the other girls have created! There are some super cute projects over there! For reals!
