Easter Peeps

Easter is sneaking up on us and two of my favorite candies are in the stores – black jelly beans and bunny Peeps.  How can I help but love the Just For Fun Marshmallow Bunnies images? 

The Bunnies were stamped on different designer papers and fussy cut.  After adding a little shading, these were added to the front of the layered card.

The “happy easter” sentiment from JFF's Sentiments 1 Unmounted Sheet was added above the baby bunnies.

Have a wonderful week.

The Tea Pot Is On

I have been making several coffee and tea themed projects this week and wanted to share this sweet card. 

I am a coffee drinker but one of my best friend’s only drinks tea.  When I saw the “Tea pot is on”...sentiment, from Just For Fun Rubber Stamps, it reminded me of her and inspired this card.  It was stamped with Paris Dusk Memento Ink and layered on white using a Martha Stewart Border Punch on the sides.

The tea cup from JFF's Coffee Unmounted Sheet was also stamped with Paris Dusk Memento Ink on two different cardstocks.  These were fussy cut and paper pieced.  This was centered on a white doily, die cut with Marianne Design Creatables Designer Doily die.  Several small flowers, die cut with Sue Wilson's Camellia Open die, were added along with jewels.

When your week gets crazy, sit and have a cup of tea, hopefully with a friend.

Hot Air Balloon Paper Piecing

I wanted to share another card using an assortment of the wonderful Hot Air Balloon images from Just For Fun Rubber Stamps.  These great designs stamped on decorative paper make a great combination.

The Flower Balloon, Hot Air Balloon, and Steam Punk Balloon were each stamped on the card front in a cluster.  Then they were each stamped on different decorative papers, fussy cut, and layered on top of the matching images on the card front.

The Enjoy Life sentiment was stamped in black above the balloons.

The card front was added to layers of some of the same cardstock used for the paper piecing.  Distress ink was used on all edges. 

Enjoy you week.
