CUTE Easter Bunny projects by Sharon; our Artist of the Month


Easter is just 2 weeks away so I thought I'd share Sharon's projects featuring the Easter Bunny bundle. She chose it for her Artist of the Month theme and she knocked it out of the park!  

Unfortunately the bundle is not currently available as the Easter Bunny punch is out of stock.  It will be back on or before May 15th.  You can get the Easter Bunny stamp set now. 

I'll share a brief description of each: 

She stamped her bunnies on Vellum and colored in just the ears.  The vellum is die-cut with the Scalloped Contour dies. So many cute details here – note the bird, egg and carrot…. The grass in front and the white cloud pieces under the vellum set the scene!

Next is a few of her adorable  Easter treats:

ON the top left is one of our Scalloped Kraft Treat boxes seen here. She punched the bunny through the lid and added a piece of window sheet to hold in the yummy candy.  The blue 'pull-up' candy bar treat holds a massive kit kat candy bar!  I love the bunny punched through the front with a sweet basket. Just wrap the ribbon around the bar and tie at the top for a fun pull up treat.  *Tip; use the size of your candy bar to guide you on cutting/folding your card stock wrap.  

Here is a close-up of the bunny eggs.  She stamped the White strip and added it to a card stock wrap. The bunnies are stamped, colored and fussy cut then added to the band.  

Next is a fun fold with three bunnies on the diagonal.  

This card is a standard A2 card – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". She added the front two squares on the front panel and here's how she added the center bunny to the inside edge.  The designer paper is the new Hello, Irresistible DSP. 

I love the additions she added to each one, flowers, a carrot and eggs; all from the Easter Bunny stamp set. 

Look closely at the ribbon and fancy edge element on this next card: 

She used two colors or our In Color ribbon and twisted them together.  Fun!  And for the DSP element here she die-cut multiple labels from the Fancy Flora DSP & Natural Prints dies to create this pretty layer.  Clever & creative!

This next card is a card with an additional 'gift'.  A bunny bookmark… 

See how the double bunny can be removed to use as a bookmark?  It's held onto her basket with magnets.  These magnets are adheres to each side of the bunnies. The card looks great without the magnet bookmark too.  Super clever!  

This next card is made from a window sheet.  Yes; the card base is a clear window sheet!  So cool.  

The die-cut wreath is from the Natural Prints dies using Fancy Flora DSP. 

Here's a view of the inside. She added the card stock to the inside front and the inside back of the folded Window Sheet card base.  

Lastly a set of sour cream treat containers: 

Have you ever made one of these?  It's been awhile for me but they are so fun to make.  Basically it a tube of paper that you secure one end well. Then fill with candy and secure the other end closed opposite from the other end.  Traditionally you use a crimper to crease the end, but you can use a scoring tool as well.  

She had fun adding multiple tags to each! 

Didn't she do an amazing job?!  So many wonderful and SUPER creative projects. Well done Sharon!!

  • Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!  

    Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video: 

    I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card.  The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper. 

    I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color. 

    More Details:

    • I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture! 
    • Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer.  This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper. 
    • I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

    Here's how I stamped the inside layer:

  • Spring Catalog display boards


    I thought I'd share some of my display boards featuring Spring Catalog products.  I've heard back that you enjoy these so here you go…..

    First up is the Hot Air Balloon and Bee My Valentine projects:

    Remember that many of these are swaps and are not made by me. I like to group cards together that use the same stamp set or designer paper. 

    Here is the Hot Air Balloon dies display.  See the Hot Air Balloon bundle here.  

    Next is the Perennial Lavender suite plus the Hills of Tuscany stamp set on the lower left.  

    Here's a close-up of the Perennial Postage dies I put together.  These are fabulous! See them online here. 

    Next is the Nature's Sweetness suite that features two bundles! 

    Below is the die display I created that is part of the Notes of Nature bundle seen here. 

    Below is the Lovely & Sweet dies display; see that bundle here. 


    I featured both of these bundles in a recent video seen here. Everyone loved the projects!

  • The Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit is stunning! *get a pre-paid subscription & earn free SAB choices!


    I received my January Paper Pumpkin kit yesterday and for the first time ever, I sat down and finished the entire kit!  Here are my cards.  


    The original kit makes 8 cards and 4 tags.  I added 4 card bases and a few extra coordinating cardstock strips and ended up with 12 cards!  They released the add on kit for the Lovely Lavender card kit today; it's just $11.50 and you can see it here.  It comes with everything but the stamp set & ink spot!  

    *I love these cards so much I'm featuring the add-on kit in a card kit to go in February!  

    Here's another alternative idea I made with the kit: 

    I used our Deckled Circle dies and the new Love of Spring 'add-on' dies for Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  The 'love' and the label die-cut are from these dies!  These dies can be seen here and are just $12.

    I textured the white circle with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and added a 3/4" Garden Green strip to the Highland Heather card base. The twine is from the kit and the gems are our new Fine Shimmer Purple gems. 

     

    If you aren't a Paper Pumpkin subscriber I want to consider it. The kits are worlds better than they were in the past. I love receiving one every month and having easy creative projects I can do when I have free time.  No planning or prep; just creative fun! 

    Here are your choices when subscribing to Paper Pumpkin: 

    1. Purchase a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month subscription here.  *get free Sale-a-Bration choices through February!!
    2. Subscribe to receive a kit each month here.

    I highly recommend getting the 12 month pre-paid choice.  When you do, if you add just $57 more to the 12-month subscription, you'll get 2 more for a total of 6 ($50) SAB choices + $36 hostess rewards + extra $30 hostess rewards! It's a pretty good deal!

    Did you know that you are in charge of which kits you receive?  Once you purchase a pre-paid subscription or subscribe you can opt out of any kit you do not want. Stampin' Up! shares what's coming up each month so you can decide if you want it or not.  You have complete control!

    *Plus when you subscribe with me, LeeAnn Greff, you'll qualify for a FREE tutorial each month.

    • This tutorial PDF is filled with 10 or more alternate ideas for additional projects you can make with each month's kit (includes photos & instructions) – making your kit go a lot further!  *see example photo below
