Basket of Blessings Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing one last Easter card featuring the lovely bunny from the 5116 - Basket of Blessings Set. I recently got this stamp set and immediately wanted to color this sweet bunny image. I love her dress and large Spring hat!

For the background, I decided to use my stencils to create a Springtime scene. I love clouds, but thought adding some pink stars would give the card a unique look; I think it looks so cool! I also used a grass stencil for the ground and layered on different shades of green ink to make the layers. 

After the green ink was dry, I stamped "Easter Blessings" with black ink. This greeting is from 5733 - Easter Sentiments Set and fits in perfectly with the Easter bunny. 

Lastly, I added layers of pink card stock, pink glitter paper, and plaid pattern paper. I also attached three glitter enamel dots to complete the card.

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are having a wonderful day!

Happy Easter to All My Peeps! Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing an Easter card inspired by the current Pop It Up! Challenge. I have been having so much fun creating Easter cards featuring different bunny stamps from Art Impressions, but this little pop-up bunny may be my favorite! He is from the new 5870 - Peeking Bunny Set and looks so happy with the sweet chicks!

I started the card by stamping the bunny and Easter wagon, and colored the images with Copic Markers. To decorate the eggs, I used different ink colors and a white gel pen; I enjoyed making the patterns. After coloring, I used the coordinating dies (included in the set) to cut out the images. The dies cut a perfect opening for the bunny to pop up, so you don't have to worry about the bunny not fitting.

For the sentiment, I stamped "Happy Easter to All My Peeps!" from the 5733 – Easter Sentiments Set; I thought this worked great with the little chicks!

Lastly, I added pretty floral pattern paper, gray card stock, and gold glitter paper. I just love how this little card turned out and hope you are inspired to join in the Pop It Up! Challenge.

Have a wonderful day and Happy Easter!

Happy Bunny Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing a new Easter card inspired by Color Challenge #372. My card features the fun #5869 Easter Bunny Puppet Set, the #5867 - Mini Easter Sentiments Set, and bright Spring colors.

To begin, I stamped the bunny, his clothing, and the little Easter Basket. After stamping, cutting out the images was super easy using the included die set and the clothes fit perfectly on the little bunny. 

For the background, I created an outdoor scene using dies and a cloud stencil. These puffy blue clouds are so pretty and reminds me of a beautiful Spring day.

The Easter Bunny Puppet Set does not include any greetings, but Art Impressions has a variety of sentiment stamp sets that work great with the bunny image. I selected one from the Mini Easter Sentiments Set and framed it with a white and blue banner. 

Lastly, I attached layers of green, white, and navy cardstock to coordinate with the color challenge and complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you will join in the challenge!

Easter Shaker Card by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new card inspired by the current "Shake it Up!!" Challenge! I love making Easter cards and used the super cute 5504 - Happy Spring Set to make a fun shaker card!

For the main image, I stamped the bunny with black ink and used the included dies to cut the image out. To stick with a Spring theme, I used pastel shades for the eggs and his egg car; so cute!!!

For the background, I cut grass from pattern paper and added a piece of Ai pattern paper for the sky/background. I love all these colors! I also used Easter shaker pieces to go with the theme. 

The greeting "Happy Easter" is from the same stamp set but I attached little clay hearts to the flowers to bring in more color. I also used a scalloped die to add a pretty pink frame. I love the pop of color!

Lastly, I attached layers of pink paper, plaid pattern paper, and a yellow glitter pattern paper to complete the design. I hope you enjoyed today's card and are inspired to join in the challenge!

Have a wonderful day!

Sending Easter Wishes Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing an Easter card featuring the sweet bunny from the 5221 - Sending Love Cubbies Set. This set is adorable and is perfect for Easter/Spring cards!

I started by stamping the bunny and letter before using the included coordinating dies to cut the images out. The mailbox also has a die and opens, but I stamped it directly on to the card. This bunny looks so cheerful!

For the background, I used markers to create the grass and added puffy blue clouds with a stencil and Distress Oxide Ink. For a little extra detail, I attached several teal enamel hearts to the sky. The tiny hearts are perfect for this type of card and I love the color!

After the ink dried, I stamped "Easter Wishes" from the 5733 - Easter Sentiments Set. The handwritten greeting looks so pretty and goes well with card's theme. 

Lastly, I added a layer of Ai pattern paper, pink paper, teal glitter pattern paper, and cream plaid paper. I think this card is great for Easter, but it could also work for a birthday, or as an everyday card for someone special!

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are having a wonderful day!

Hoppy Easter!

Hi Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing two Easter cards created with the fun HM Easter Set!

For the first card, I wanted to make a little scene that resembled an Easter family photo. These little bunny stamps are too cute and look so happy, don't they just make you smile?

The second design is a festive slimline card using the Holiday Mansion stamp set. I love the Easter eggs in the basket and on the door; so fun!!!

I also added some birds and flowers from the HM Garden Set. The little birds work perfectly with the Easter theme and I enjoy mixing my stamp sets. 

The sentiment "Happy Easter" was embossed in white and I cut a simple banner out of green stock to blend in with the green used on the stenciled grass. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you are inspired too create a fun Easter card!

Have a wonderful day!

Easter Blessing by Niccole

Hello Ai fans!!

I am stopping by today to share a card I made using the Sweet Easter stamp set from Art Impressions.  

This card came together relatively quickly. I started by applying my Glitz Gel to a stencil I had.  I let it dry and trimmed the panel down.  I attached it to  my white card base.  I love the look of white on white.  

I placed my stamps down so I knew they would fit perfectly.  I Copic colored my bunny. I only used two color families; my cool grays and my reds.

I finished it by adding some pastel confetti sequins to make it pop a little more.  I really love how it turned out, might be one of my recent favorites.

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending a little time with me.  Make sure you come back soon to the Ai blog and see what the team has been up to.  

Copics used:

C0, C1, C3, C5

R11, R22, 

Until next time ... Hugs & inky fingers!
