Bunny & Guinea Egg Hunt

Hello Crafty Friends, I have an Easter card to share with you today using the sweet Bunny & Guinea Egg Hunt digital stamp from  RAM Stamps.  




I created my card by layering my printed cardstock onto a 5x7 base. Once I printed & coloured my image I cut it to size & adhered it underneath my die cut frame. I then adhered this onto the centre of my card base & finished off by adding some shape sprinkles to embellish.

Year of the Dragon

 Hello Crafty Friends, I have a new release to show you today & this month RAM Stamps is celebrating the Year of the Dragon with 5 adorable new digital stamps & a coordinating digital paper pack.

Each Dragon stamp comes with an Element from within the Chinese Zodiac; Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal & Water. Today I am using Dragon Fire, Dragon Metal & Dragon Water digital stamps.




It is a tradition in many Asian cultures to give red envelopes containing money for luck during celebrations, so follow along today as I share with you how I made these cute money envelopes.

What You Need: 
1 x Red Cardstock (Panel) 8 1/2" x 7 3/4"
2 x Gold Metalic Cardstock 7 5/8" x 3 3/8" 
2 x Patterned Paper 7 1/2" x 3 1/4" 
1 x Gold Metalic Cardstock 7 5/8" x 1 3/8 " 
1 x Patterned Paper 7 1/2" x 1 1/4"
1 x Red Cardstock (Band) 8" x 1 1/4"
1 x Gold Metalic Scalloped Circle Die Cut

Place the panel on a score board sitting the longest side, (8 1/2"), horizontally. Score the panel at 1 1/2" & 5". Next burnish along the score lines & open flat. Now add 2 small strips of double sided tape inside the top edge & bottom edge of the shortest scored fold as pictured, then flip in towards the center to adhere into place. This now creates the pocket to hold money. Now fold closed your envelope like a card & set aside.




Before the next step print your digital patterned paper of choice, I have used A4 160gsm paper. The digital papers I have chosen for my envelopes are Circles, Lantern & Dragon.

After cutting to size, adhere the patterned papers onto the gold metallic cardstock to create the cover panels. Now adhere the large cover panels to the outside front & back of your card. Adhere the small cover panel inside your envelope on the short folded flap that holds the money. Close your card & wrap the band around your card & adhere the 2 ends together. Make sure the belly band slides freely across your envelope & is not too tight or loose. Next die cut your coloured images with a circle die. Then adhere onto the metallic scalloped die cut. Attach this to the center of the belly band covering where the two ends join on the front of the envelope. 








Copics:
Dragons: C5, R00, R22, R24, R27, R29, E00, E21, E23, N1, N4, N6, N8
Sword & Shield: N1, N4, N6, N8, E97, Y11, Y15, Y17
Rain Clouds: BG10, BG11, BG13
Fire: E97, Y11, 15, 17

Bunny's Easter Egg

 Hello Crafty Friends, today I am sharing another Easter card with another image from this month's new release over at Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios called "Easter Fun". 

For my card I am using the image called Bunny's Easter Egg.




I printed my image on some Xpress It Blending Paper & masked it with the same printed image that I fussy cut. With my mask in place I stamped around the image using some different paintbrush stroke stamps in different pastel colours & added some splatters of diluted Copic Opaque White. Then I removed my mask & coloured my image with Copics.  I then stamped & cut my sentiments & glued them into place. I added some enamel dots to embellish. Lastly I layered my card onto a 5x7 base.




Copics:
Bunny & Brushes: E00, E21, E23, E25
Blue: BG000, BG01, BG02

Baby Animal Train

 Hello Crafty Friends, I am back today with some D.T. inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls

 Today I have a baby girl's card to show you, using 3 out of the 5 adorable images in the Baby Animal Train set from PND.



I have used the no lines technique to colour my images up. This is not something I do often as I am not confident to do so, although I love how it turned out! I should try it more often! I then created a simple slimline card with some enamel dots to embelish & finished off with raised sentiments.




Copics:
Violets: BV0000, BV000, BV00, BV02
Yellows: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44

Bunny's Bike

 Hello Crafty Friends, this month there is a new release over at Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios called "Easter Fun". It features 4 adorable Easter themed stamps & a coordinating digital paper pack.

Today I have created a card using one of the newest images called Bunny's Bike.





I created my card using a 5x7 base. I printed my image onto Xpress It Blending Paper and coloured it up. I am a fan of pastel Easter colours, so I found some scraps of pastel cardstock & took out my Silhouette to cut out some pretty coloured eggs & my sentiment using an SVG file. For the word Easter I adhered 3 layers for dimension. Lastly I glued all my cut out pieces into place and embellished with some enamel dots.




Copics:
Bunny & Eggs: C0, C1, RV14, RV21, YG03, YG05, YG07, YG09
Bike: N3, N4, N8, BG11, BG13, E50, E55

Amara with Donut

Hello Crafty Friends, I am back today with some D.T. inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls

 I have made a birthday card using the super sweet image called "Amara with Donut".




 I created my card on a 5"x7" base with some pretty sprinkled patterned paper in the background. After printing & colouring my image I created some donuts to embellish, using a die set & stuck them all over the paper. Now let me tell you, yes all of those sprinkles were individually glued on, one by one! Phew! You can say I bit off more than I could chew, "no pun intended", haha. Although I love how it turned out in the end and I think it was worth every sprinkle. What do you think?




Copics:
Donut: E31, E33, E35, RV09, Y08, G09, B04, R81, R83, R85
Clothes & Shoes: Y02, Y04, Y08, RV21, RV23, RV25
Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, E13, R20
Hair: E51, E55, E57, E59
