CAS Easter Card

Happy Friday, it's Jeanne posting today.  I'm a big clean and simple (CAS) design fan.  Many of my cards are in that style.  When doing a CAS design I love using dies because they come out so crisp and graphic, keeping everything - clean and simple!  My card this week illustrates that.
These little bunnies from Some Bunny Loves You are adorable and highlighted perfectly by the color offset squares.
Out of white cardstock, I made an A2 side fold card base, then embossed a panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches and adhered it to the base.  I used this basket weave since I thought it perfect for that "Easter basket" look.
Next I die cut the bunnies from Sahara Sand and three squares each from white, yellow, pink and purple.  I used the third smallest square from the Cross-Stitched squares set.
I used a sponge dauber and Sahara Sand to edge the bunnies.  Then I glued on their little white tails.
For each of the three colored squares, I stacked and glued them, then offset a white square and glued a bunny on top.  Then it was time to glue them to the card front.  It was fairly easy to line them up on this card since the basket weave gave me a natural alignment tool!  A tip when lining up three items - do the top and bottom first then center the one in the middle.
For the sentiment I used a fourth color and die cut the Happy Easter Egg.  I love the playfulness of the font used in this die.
Using paper snips, I cut out the sentiment and adhered it to the front of the card.

One Die Used Five Ways - Spring Tree of Life

Hello! I hope today finds you happy and in a creative spirit.

In today's video, I've demonstrated five different cards using the same new spring 2018 die, Spring Tree of Life. I really love CottageCutz's single pass dies and when I saw this one in the new release, I couldn't wait to use it.

Why do I love this style so much? Let me count the ways. First, they are super quick to cut. Just one pass through your machine and they're ready to use on your project. Second, they have such amazing detail! The art is always exquisite. Third, you can use them in so many ways and get so many different presentations out of them. How many? A lot. The video today shows five but I'm sure you can think of even more. The photo below shows my favorite of the set. I flocked the die cut for a soft and unique look. The others are different styles and size and include a few other spring dies as well.

I hope you get some great ideas to inspire you in your creative journey. Have a fantastic day!

Some Bunny Loves You

Hi, Lois here with my Monday card.  CottageCutz has a whole series of spring/Easter dies and stitched dies.  I chose a die from each set for my card today.   Be sure to check out their store because both releases are currently 25% off.  And who doesn't love a bargain.  The two dies I used for my card are Some Bunny Loves You and Stitched Sun, Clouds and Umbrella.  This card went together pretty easily.


I started by cutting my cardstock:

Purple - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
White - 4" x 5 1/4"


Using Ranger Distress inks (Bundled Sage and Tumbled Glass) I created my background, stamping the sprigs of grass with Memento Cottage Ivy.


I then cut my images . . .



. . . and built my little scene, coloring the bunny rabbits with some pale gray markers and popping up their cotton tails with small foam dots.


Here again is my completed card.

Little Bunnies

Hi!

This is Anja here. I have a simple card for you today, made with the new cute Some Bunny Loves You die. It gives you so much options to craft. Not just Easter cards.


For this card I used:
 - Cottage Cutz die (Some Bunny Loves You),
- Distress Oxides (Antique Linen, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Frayed Burlap),
- Distress Inks (Walnut Stain),
- white card base (10,5 x 15 cm),
- white card stock for background (10 x 14,5 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- brown foam,
- white felt,
- gold acrylic paint,
- water spritzer,
- heat gun,
- paper glue.

First I colored the background. I used Distress Oxides. I also colored a smaller piece of paper from which I cut the sentiment.


Then I cut the bunnies and the sentiment again from brown foam. I used foam to give my card some dimension.


Then I cut the bunnies again, this time from white card stock. I  colored them with Distress Oxide and Ink. I cut their tails from white felt.


I glued the sentiment on foam and colored it around the edges. I did the same with the bunnies.


I decided to give some more interest to the background. First I spritzed a bit of water over it and dried it with the heat gun.


Then I tapped a few drops of gold acrylic paint over it. I tapped over the drops with a cloth and got the marks, similar to the ones I made with water.


And then I just glued the background on the card base and then added the sentiment and all the cute bunnies. And my card was finished.




 This is all from me for this week. See you again next Sunday.

A Bunny Valentine

It's Jeanne today and I couldn't resist making one more Valentine!  Today's card is a tri-fold and features dies from the new Spring release.
I started with a piece of red 12 x 4 inch cardstock and scored it 4 inches from each side so I would have a 4 inch square card.  I cut  three white squares using the largest of the Nested Stitched Eyelet Squares Set.
I then cut the bunny and hearts from different colors of cardstock.  I wanted various shades of pink and red for the hearts so I went through my scraps.  A good way to use them up!
I did use two different dies for the envelope since I wasn't certain which one would be the correct size for the bunny.  I ended up using the one from the Love Letters die.  I cut the hearts from the Love Letters and Love Bird Branch dies.  I used a black multi-liner to color the bunny's eye and nose and a Copic marker to color the center of the wheel.
I assembled the bunny and cart and used many but not all the hearts.  I decided the front of the card needed a little bit of a pop so I cut a navy blue square the same size as the outer edge of the eyelet square and glued it to the back.  It added just enough contrast.
I then assembled the second panel with the sentiment and added some of the extra hearts.
And finally glued the back panel on the center of the card with the balance of the hearts.
