Easter Bunny box

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing this little vignette box that I made for Easter.

I used several different Tim Holtz die sets to create my scene.

I started by using a small box to which I added woodgrain embossing folder pieces cut to fit the outside and inside of the box.

The inside back of the box was lined with a piece of card stock that o had stencilled with several Distress inks. I also added a die cut fence piece to the stencilled background.

I die cut 2 bunnies for the front of the box, 2 eggs and several die cut flowers.

I die cut the word Easter from a piece of card stock on which I had blended some Distress inks. I stacked the letters on to 2 layers of thick white card stock.

In order to have the word stand up I glued it to 2 pieces of wood dowels that were coloured with Walnut Stain Distress ink.

I added a distressed banner to the box, some faux grass on the inside along with some Easter eggs I made using foil and Alcohol inks. 

To finish off I die cut a large carrot to add to the front and 2 strips of ribbon around the box.

Well that’s it for thisEaster project and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for stopping by 🙏🏻

My little Easter bunny house

 Hi everyone,

Well it’s time to share some Easter projects that I have been working on. Here’s the first one.

I know the bunny probably looks a little too oversized for my house but he has a home there anyways.

I couldn’t resist.

There are a lot of different dies and embossing folders that went into making my little project.

I die cut the house with different colours of card stock and added some shading and speckles here and there.

The windows were done with vellum paper and I added some paste for a little frosted look.

The sentiment was die cut with purple card stock and glued directly to my cobblestone base.

I added some Mica flakes to the base and also attached some little flowers.

Well that’s it for my Easter bunny house. Thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

 Hi everyone,

I have a fairly simple card to share today. 

I started by creating my card background by spraying it with 3 different colours of Distress spray.

I moved onto die cutting the floral pattern with the Tim Holtz Leafy Twigs twice with 110 lb. white cardstock so it would add a little depth when I glued the 2 pieces together.

The sentiment was stamped with black ink and cut with the matching die.

A very quick card.

Thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Thinking of you

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using some Tim Holtz products. I must admit I have purchased quite a lot of his products lately and am fun using them.

I used a stencil with 3 different colours of Distress inks to blend my background. 

The butterfly was die cut once from a distress coloured piece and then again with another piece of card stock which was sprayed with Distress ink sprays.

Before adding the panel to my card I distressed the edges. The sentiment was added to a piece of the same card base and foam mounted.

Below is a closeup of the butterfly to which I added gold embossing powder.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Butterfly hello

 Hi everyone,

Well Spring is here and so is my card colours. I made this for the current SSSFlickr challenge where the theme is to make a Spring slimline card.

Here’s mine.

I used a Simon Says Stamp stencil to create my background with 2 different colours of  Distress oxide inks. 

I used a couple of different slimline dies to cut down my panel.

The butterfly was created with Silver alcohol ink card stock and a green colour of alcohol ink.

I die cut the sentiment twice in silver metallic and black card stock. To finish my card I added some bubble embellishments.

Below is a closeup of the butterfly.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Hi everyone,

Well it’s been a while since I posted here but I do have a card to share using Distress oxide inks and the awesome Arched Texture Fades embossing folder from Tim Holtz.

I started by blending 3 different colours of oxide inks on my background piece. When I was happy with the blending I ran the piece through my die cutting machine using the embossing folder.

I decided to use my sander to add some highlights to the piece.

The panel was adhered to a card base of dark blue card stock but before that I added a piece of ribbon and a metal heart.

The words are stickers from Tim Holtz which I added to the same colour of card stock as my card base.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a quick and easy card to share using the Tim Holtz / Stamper’s Anonymous stamp setwhich includes some great sentiments. I just love this large perspective butterfly.

I started by ink blending my background with Distress Oxide inks and then stamped the butterfly with black ink slightly off the card.

I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and heat set with gold embossing powder.

I added black flecks of paint and that’s it for my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by🙏🏻

Faith, love and hope 🇺🇦

Hi everyone,

With what is happening in the Ukraine 🇺🇦  these last couple of days I thought I would create a tag. We could all use more faith, love and hope in the world today.

I started with a Kraft card tag and applied my stencil. I used a grit paste and mixed it with different colours of  Distress inks adding the different paste colours here and there on my tag. I love the nice texture that the grit paste adds.

I die cut several other pieces using different dies. I added metallic rub ons to some of the pieces and Distress inks to others.

The words were die cut 3 times with black card stock and glued together.

I added alcohol inks to the butterfly and a piece of ribbon was stapled to the top of my tag.

Well that’s it for my tag today and thanks so much for stopping by🙏🏻

Live your dream

Hi everyone,

Well we’ve had 2 days in a row with a lot of snow so this butterfly is sure to brighten up any day.

I used the Engraved 3-D embossing folder from Tim Holtz/Sizzix for my background. I used a brayer to add a few colours of Distress inks over top of the panel. I also sprayed some Distress Resist Spray over top.

The butterfly was die cut twice. Once with white card stock and blended with Distress inks and the other with dark brown card stock.

The sentiment was stamped with black ink on vellum and embossed with clear embossing powder.

The whole panel was added to my card base of brown card stock.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Church with stained glass windows

 Hi everyone,

Well this was my first attempt at putting together this church with all the different elements. It was a bit time consuming but I love the results especially with the tiny lights.

I used a brick embossing folder for the wall and cobblestone for the base.

The tower has a tiny bell.

The stained glass windows were created with Tombow markers and vellum.

 

I added a little bit of white ink to the roof shingles.

I added a lattice trim with a 3-D Impresslits embossing folder with silver metallic paper which I coloured with alcohol ink.

Well that’s it for my little church and thanks so much for stopping by.
