Round & Round Easter Cards by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans and welcome to my Round & Round

challenge post.

I created 2 circular cards with a circular mat behind my animals and
there are circle cut outs on my doily die.

I love the pastel colors against the white background.

Did you create any Easter cards or projects this year?

If not, there's still time.

Chicks Bookmark card by Dori Mendiola

 Happy Thursday AI Friends!

We definitely are getting to enjoy the Spring air here and just in time for Easter.  Yay!  However, I'm hearing that it's suppose to change next week.  Let's hope the weathermen are wrong.  Fingers crossed!  

Maybe my card for today will inspire the nice Spring weather to continue.  🤞

I created a comical corner bookmark that slides over the card.  When removed it reveals the "Spring is in the Air" sentiment from the #5867 - Mini Easter Sentiment set.  This bookmark is sure to give someone a chuckle every time they open their book.  I just love him and the funny saying!  I hope I don't offend anyone with that sentiment, but it just fit this image perfectly.  😁

The polka dots on the egg was a Sharon inspiration.  Thank you Sharon for the cute idea!

I used the #5401 - Easter Chicks stamp set for the images and the #6042 - Corner Bookmark die set for the detachable bookmark.  I stamped the images onto copic friendly paper and colored with my copic markers listed below.  The images were then cut using the coordinating dies within the set.

For the pattern papers, I used the #6036 - Easter Bunny PP and the #5892 - Easter S2 PP.  The Art Impressions paper packs coordinate well together.   I cut several circles using the #5064 - Double stitched circle dies and also the #5726 - Nested Circle dies.

I started with a base card panel made with heavy cardstock and cut to an A2 size - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.  I then created a smaller card (size 4 3/4 x 3 3/8) that will be adhered to the front.  I layered the mats and pattern paper panels to the base and also to the front of the card.  I then layered the circle panels and adhered the images to the top layers.  I popped up the bottom chick but not the one on the bookmark.  I didn't want to add any more bulk to the bookmark.  I placed the bookmark onto the card corner and adhered the egg chick panel to the bookmark.  I then adhered the other chick panel to the card base.  The last circle panel was adhered to the card base, lining it up directly under the circle of the bookmark.

I attached the card to the base, lining up to the bottom edge so that the card will stand up on its own.

That's it for me today!  Thanks for joining me and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Keep creating!

Easter Greetings by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans!

I have been loving seeing all the amazing creations using the new #6158 Story Tile Template Die from Art Impressions! It's soooo versatile! I'm using it yet again today for a cute Easter card. Easter is just around the corner, so it's that time! For the chicks, I used #5401 Easter Chicks Set. I stamped the images onto a Copic friendly paper and then colored them using the markers listed at the bottom of this post. For the single carrot and the basket of carrots, I used #6008 Bunny Hugs Set. Both sets come with the dies, so it was super simple to add them to the window tiles. The paper is from 6036 Easter Bunny PP. 

So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!!

A colorful Happy Birthday using the new Story Tile Template Die

 Hello AI Fans!

I sure hope you're having a wonderful start to the new week! Did you get to see the new release last Wednesday from Art Impressions? Bonnie has done it again and come out with a Story Tile Template Die and four new sets that goes perfectly with it! I LOVE this new release! I've only been able to color one set so far, but I can't wait to get to the other three! My card today features the new die with #6178 Birthday Wishes. This is such a cute set containing a pinata, balloons, lots of presents and other fun and festive items. All the images fit perfectly in the tile sections of the die! I added some cute flowers from #5401 Easter Chicks Set into the pots. The icing on the cake is covered with Glossy Accents and there are pops of Stickles throughout. I just had to add some sparkle! I also used some purple Pops of Color from Scrapbook.com.  Those gorgeous papers are from #5742 Easter Journal PP. 

So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit, and until next time - stay crafty!!
