The Easter Bunny's Girlfriend Drives a Lexus...

I hope everyone had a great Passover or Easter celebration.  We were at a birthday lunch on Easter and I spotted the Easter Bunny and his girlfriend(?) driving through the parking lot in front of me!

I thought about following them a little to snap a photo where I could see his face, but I find this photo rather humerus, don't ya think?

Don't forget to take advantage of the FREE SHIPPING until Friday this week!!!

I'm trying to catch up on my posts, so, here's one of the recent cards I made for my lunchtime card class at work and a home party.

It's Cantaloupe Crisp and Smokey Slate.  I also used the Gorgeous Grunge and Perfect Pennants stamp sets.  The designer paper is from Watercolor Wonder in the Occasions catalog.

Glittered Easter Eggs

Easter is just 2 and half weeks away!  Here's an easy way to add glittered Easter eggs to your scrapbook pages or cards using Silver Glimmer Paper and the XL Oval Punch:

Stamp Sets:

• Delightful Dozen
• Positively Chevron

Colors:

• Crumb Cake
• Very Vanilla
• Strawberry Slush
• Elegant Eggplant
• Bermuda Bay
• Wild Wasabi
• Gumball Green
• Garden Green
• Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin' Pad

Tools / Extras:

• Stampin' Spritzers (link)
• Rubbing Alcohol
• Re-Inkers
• Silver Glimmer Paper (link)
• Fringe Scissors (link)
• Brayer
• Seam Binding ribbon
• XL Oval Punch

Egg Spritzing:  I have an old box with a lid attached on one side that I use to spritz in (practice safe spritzing...lol).  Just fill your spritzers with rubbing alcohol (drys faster than water) and 15 drops of re-inker in each color in each spritzer to spritz strips of Silver Glimmer Paper.  I tried with less drops, but it was not intense enough color on the Silver Glimmer Paper.  Stampin' Up! Glimmer Paper has a special backing that holds up to spritzing.  The color works itself under the glitter and dries in about 15 minutes.  Then, just punch out your eggs with the Extra Large Oval Punch. 

Tip: Once you designate a color to your spritzer, just label it and keep it that color.  They are inexpensive and so washing the color out of the spritzing mechanism isn't worth your time.

I also did an Ombre effect on the background of this card with the Brayer.  Here's my Technique Journal page.

Basket Diving Bunny - Punch Art Easter Card

One of my Stamp Night projects this month is this cute punch art basket diving bunny.  I've seen a lot of bunny butt cards, and this is my take on that idea.

Stamp Sets:

• Delightful Dozen
• Just Believe (inside "Some things have to be believed to be seen")

Colors:

• Wisteria Wonder
• Crumb Cake
• Pink Pirouette
• Soft Suede
• Lucky Limeade
• Whisper White

Tools/Extras:

• 3 1/2" Labels Collection framelit
• 1 3/4" Circle punch
• 1 3/4" Oval punch (large)
• Small Heart punch
• 3/16" Corner rounder punch
• Cupcake Builder punch (sprinkles used as toe pads)
• Boho Blossom punch (3 of the scallop flower)
• Itty Bitty Shapes pack (1 flower)
• Square Lattice embossing folder
• Framed Tulips embossing folder
• Vintage Trinkets (brads)
• Little Leaves Sizzlits
• Stampin' Sponges

For the basket, cut bottom tip off of the Label Collection shape.  On the top, cut a dip off from the top scallop to the other top scallop.  Your bunny will cover up your cutting, so you don't need perfection here.  If you make a basket that will show the top, you can use an oval punch to cut the top so it will be nicer.

Here's the page my Stamp Night members will create in their monthly technique journal.
