Well Linda has been BUSY AS EVER! Apparently she got really got carrot’ed away and just couldn’t help herself. :) I’m so glad she did. These little jellybean jars are just the cutest! And the carrots – just adorable!

She credits Mel Stampz and Clare’s Craftroom for giving her the inspiration (and instructions!) to make these yummy low-cal carrots.

Do you smell carrots?

meg-smellcarrots-detailMeg is at it again with another Easter card. This one is so cheerful with it’s Springtime color palette of pink, green and a lovely yellow. I just love all the textures each of the papers have and the little pink paw pad on Curious Cottontail is so cute.

To make one of your own, Meg wrote down the following instructions:

  1. I crumpled a piece of white cardstock until it was soft enough to peel apart, then stamped Curious Cottontail Bunny 3 times.
  2. I added some grey shading and pink pads.
  3. I cut out her entire body, then cut out just her bunny butt from the second image, and just her feet and cottontail from the third image, then layered them with popdots.

The sentiment is from The Cat’s Pajamas, and the paper is all retired Stampin’ Up patterned paper.

Happy Easter

Filed Under DT: Meg C., Holiday: Easter | 1 Comment

meg-happyeaster-smMeg made the cutest little Easter card! She used the Flopsy bunny stamp and I’m sure there’s a wonderful surprise inside that colorful egg! :) I suppose Flopsy (and Kaitlyn) will just have to wait until Easter to find out.

Meg used papers and stickers from the Echo Park Little Girl collection. And here’s what she did:

  1. I cut out the banner using PaperTrey Ink’s banner die, and attached with Tim Holtz’s tiny attacher.
  2. I stamped Flopsy Bunny’s Got an Egg twice onto white paper and once onto the striped patterned paper.
  3. I added some light grey Copic shading to Flopsy and cut out.
  4. I added the egg with a popdot, and cut out his hands from the second stamped image to adhere to the egg

Polka-dot bunny suit

Filed Under DT: Linda M., Holiday: Easter | 3 Comments

linda-bunnyhop-sm Mr. MacIntire is singing a happy tune. He’s dressed up as a rabbit and is delivering Easter goodies.

Linda has certainly done it again! All of the layers are just wonderful – right down to the little bits of grass. I love the pleated frame behind Mr. MacIntire – really adds some extra fun to the card.

moon-bunnytails-detailMoon is at it again with the cutest little project. She created a box of bunny tails! I believe she used little pom poms and put them in the box, along with attaching one to the bunny on the outside. Oh I just want to pinch his cute little tail!

Will work for carrots!

Christy created this hug-ibly soft version of Mr. MacIntire – you can actually reach out and touch the texture his bunny suit fabric!

christy6-bunnysuit
How’d she do it? She colored the image with Marvy Uchida Puffy Velvet Fabric Markers. The basic directions for using the markers, color and allow plenty of time for the “ink” to dry. Once dry, apply heat using a heat tool. The ink will immediately start to puff! She says “coloring his suit in this manner really makes the image come to life” – and I wholeheartedly agree! She used DecoArt Snow-Tex to add dimension to his tail.

She said too that she added the carrots dangling from thread to encourage Mr. MacIntire not to grow weary in delivering all those Easter treats!

Flopsy bookmark

Filed Under Animals, DT: Georgia, Holiday: Easter, Other projects, Spring | 2 Comments

georgia10-flopsyclipGeorgia decided to do something a little different and created this cute bookmark using Flopsy and a giant paper clip.

She was at Walmart awhile back – a store for which she says she has a “love-hate” relationship. :) She found these giant paperclips on clearance and purchased some.

Ta-da! Who wouldn’t want Flopsy keeping track of what page you’re on, peeking out of the top to say hi.

Flopsy’s got eggs AND carrots

Filed Under Animals, DT: Judy, Holiday: Easter, Spring | 3 Comments

Another cute card creation from Judy. This time Flopsy bunny has lots of colored eggs – and a basket of carrots too! I think the background paper she used is just terrific – all those scribble dots. And adding a little scallop border with the blue layered under the green – wonderful. Thanks Judy!

Are those JELLYBEANS? (card)

Filed Under Animals, DT: Crafty Math Chick, Holiday: Easter, Spring | 5 Comments

craftymathchick2-jellybeans
This cute card was created by Crafty Math Chick. She said that when she first saw Poppy bunny she just knew jellybeans had to be involved. Although she says it took her awhile to create the card because she kept eating the jellybeans! That’d be me too!! I love the little touch of shiny ribbon and a bit of lace at the bottom. Very sweet – literally!

Flower wreath

Filed Under DT: Christy, Holiday: Easter, Spring | 4 Comments

Design Team Member Christy created this wonderful card – makes me want to plant some flowers – especially if they bloomed as pretty as these!

christy1-bunnysuit

This Easter card begins on purple glitter paper and is blooming with a Happy Easter message. The stamped image is (1089-J) Mr. MacIntire’s bunny suit. The image was stamped on a white cardstock in the shape of a circle and colored with Prisma colored pencils and Gamsol. A few stamped dots around his feet grounded the image nicely. The flowers used in the wreath were cut with the Cricut, paper punches, and Primas. The flowers were stacked and stuck together with brads, buttons, or other little blooms. Curling up the petals of the paper flowers gave the blooms an interesting 3D appearance.

Once the flowers were assembled, she used the white cardstock circle as her guide to lay the flowers appropriately around Mr. MacIntire. The stamped Easter greeting was situated in the wreath using foam squares, to give it the look of just floating in the petals.

Spring is in the air

Filed Under Animals, DT: Kriss, Holiday: Easter, Spring | 3 Comments

Using Easter photos of her son through the years, Kriss created this delightful accordion-folded book. What a great memory keeper – to have all the photos together! I thought too how organized Kriss must be to know where she kept all the photos in the first place. :)

Flopsy’s got an egg!

Filed Under Animals, DT: Georgia, Holiday: Easter | 3 Comments

Flopsy’s got an egg – a very LARGE egg and Georgia, the Design Team Member who created this adorable card, says it MUST be filled with chocolate – YUM! It’s also a very fancy egg in that it was made using the same great paper she used in the background of the card.
