Hello Peeps Easter Cards

 Hi Peeps 

I hope you all are doing well. Easter is on it's way can you believe it. So with that being said I have some fun Easter Cards you can create for Easter using Clear Scraps 5x9 Flowers Layering Stencil, Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments and the 4 x6 Hello Peeps Stencil

I hope you enjoy the step by step tutorial below. Down below I have the products I used along with the name & links, just click on the name and you'll be directed to the store. 

Here's a photo of the finished cards. 


Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments                                 5x9 Flowers Layering Stencil

                                



Card #1

To start create a regular card base measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. I place a piece of removable tape diagonal, as shown below. 

Next take the  5x9 Flowers Layering Stencil place it a little above the tape and stencil your first flower, after you have the first scoot the stencil over and ink the next flower down and keep going all over the white space. 


Once you have finished the top of the card move the tape a little bit down so you have about a 2 inch diagonal space between the top and bottom flowers you're stenciling. 


Next I decided to use brown flock for the Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments. You can either use double back tape as shown below or use your glue. I do prefer the glue over the tape I feel it's just easier. After your done applying the adhesive you can place the chipboard piece in the flock and cover it all over. 


Here is the end result. One bunny I used glue and the other bunny I used double back tape. But you can decorate your Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments however you'd like, even paint them. 


Next I covered the midsection with yellow glitter paper and layered with pink cardstock. I added flap back enamel dots from my stash. I also used a Happy Easter metal die from my stash for the sentiment. 
Now the card is finished. 



Card #2

For card #2 we used the 4 x6 Hello Peeps Stencil . This stencil is so cute. I laid it down and just applied my ink as shown below. The size of this card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches.

Here is what the front of the card looks like after I was done inking with the stencil. I did the cute bunnies in different colors and the words to match. Now you can decorate it. 


I thought it would be nice to use the  5x9 Flowers Layering Stencil and then fussy cut these out to decorate around the card. For the centers of the flowers I used Nuvo flower pollen, but you can use enamel dots or what ever you have in your stash. 


Here is where I place a thin piece of green glitter paper and pattern paper on the top and bottom of the card just to give a little bit of nice border to the card. Below you can see I fussy cut some of the flowers.


Here's the finished card. Super easy peasy right? I added a few enamel dots on the left side and a pink butterfly from my stash to the card. This card is so cute I just love the 4 x6 Hello Peeps Stencil inked with fun bright colors, so full of Spring and Easter. 




Card #3

The size of this card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. The yellow glitter cardstock mat is 5 1/4 x 4 inches, the blue polka dot mat measures 4 7/8 x 3 3/4 inches. After you cut the mats  you can glue together. 


For this card I created my own picket fence out of the wooden pattern paper I had in my stash. I cut 4 pickets at 1 x 3 inches and snipped of the top portion to form the picket fence. 


The slat that goes across the pickets measures 1 x 5 inches. I inked each piece with ink to make them a little dark around the edges. I did add foam tape to the back of each picket fence and then laid the long slat piece on top (there is no foam tape on this piece).


Adhere the mat to the card base and decorate the front as you would like. I added the second little Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments on top of the fence along with the remaining stenciled flowers I fussy cut. I found the carrots and grass in my stash and added them. This turned out so adorable. 


I hope you liked today's step by step tutorial. I like that these cards were so easy to create and you can create the flowers from the stencils cut them out and use them to decorate your card, tags or layouts. Just another way you can use this fun 5x9 Flowers Layering Stencil along with the Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments Embellishments and the 4 x6 Hello Peeps Stencil
I wish you all a Happy Easter and Happy Crafting. 


Spring has Sprung Slimline Window Card and Butterfly Tag

 Good Morning Everyone, 

Are you ready for Spring yet? I am so ready for Spring. I love everything about Spring, especially seeing the flowers blooming and butterflies fluttering around. Today I have two beautiful projects that you can create using the Clear Scraps Fancy Window Chipboard Embellishment and the Fancy Butterflies Chipboard Embellishment

Here are the chipboard pieces we will be using. I did use some paper flowers from my stash, ribbons and design papers. 


     

Project #1 - Spring Window Card

First thing I did was paint the Fancy Window Chipboard piece white. 


Next I used a sponge and a gray ink pad to add a little bit of ink streaking it downward to give a whitewashed worn look. 


Next I added some foam tape to the back edges of the window. 



I decided to create a slimline card so I cut my case card and the mats. 
Base is 8cx 8 3/4 inches scored at 4 inches. The mats are all cut at 3 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches. I did use my scalloped edge slimline die for the top mat of my card.


Next I added a scene to the back of the window and adhered down on top of the card. 


I started adding my flowers around the window. 


Here is finished Spring Window card. I added a sentiment and fussy cut out a butterfly. 
I just love how this card came out. it's so full of Spring goodness with the window scenery. 


Project #2 - Spring Butterfly Tag

To begin the Spring Butterfly Tag I painted the Fancy Butterfly Chipboard pieces with white paint. 


Next I pulled out my gelatos and colored them. I used yellow, pink, lavender, blue and some other colors to coordinate with the colors of my pattern paper. 


In order to get a smooth and blended look on the chipboard butterflies simply take a sponge or a paper towel and smooth out in small circles and you can blend the colors together.


Next I cut out my tag and did some fussy cutting. Adhered on the sentiment with some foam tape behind it, as well as the flowers and paper butterfly. 


I adhered my chipboard butterflies and added some ribbon on the top of the tag. I also added a few little flat back pearls to around the tag. 


Thank you all for joining me today. I hope this gave you some spring inspiration and how you can use these Fancy Butterflies chipboard pieces along with the Fancy Window Chipboard piece on your upcoming projects.

Have a wonderful day and Happy Crafting.

Shabby Chic Cards Romance Forever

Hi everyone, 

Today I will be sharing some shabby chic cards I created using the new March 2024 Card Tag and More Kit from Tres Jolie. I also have a video tutorial for you to follow if you would like more details on how I put together each individual card. 


Here is a photo of the cards I created. 


Here is the supplies I used to create the cards. March Card, Tag and More Kit


Card #1  

For our first card you will cut a cardstock mat at 5 1/4 x 4 and the pattern paper mat at 5 x 3 3/4.  For my mats I used a rose gold foil cut 5 1/4 x 4 inches and my pattern paper measures 5 x 3 3/4 inches. I folded down the right corner of the pattern paper and glued down and adhered the pretty pink heart on top with a flower in the middle. These flowers along with the pretty hearts with flower petals are found in your kit.                             

Next I adhered down the flowers using my hot glue gun.


I took the wooden letters and ran them across the spun sugar ink pad and 
then adhered them down with glue. 


I did fussy cut out a butterfly from the Stamperia paper collection Romance Forever and adhered it in the right hand corner. I just love how this card came out. So dainty and shabby. 


Card #2

For this card we will create an easel card. You will use two of the card bases from the Card Kit. 
Cut one card in half this will give you two mats but we only use one. For the next card fold one side in half as I am showing below. 


Next take a 9x3 piece of card stock. and score at 3 and 6 inches. 


Next turn the paper diagonal with your ruler from the one corner to the end of the score line corner draw a line and cut. Do this on both ends of the card stock.
Now your strip of paper should look like the strip below. 


***TIP ***
To cover the top of your pocket take the triangle pieces we cut off from the strip above and place them on your pattern paper and trace. Cut them out and adhere the pattern triangles on the pocket 


Next cut mats for the white card base. The light pink card stock I'm using is cut at 5 1/4 x 4 inches and my pattern paper measures 5 x 3 3/4 inches. Once you are done cover the inside and outside of your pocket fold over the flaps and glue just the ends together so you can have a little pocket to place a tag or gift card inside, I did mat behind the pocket using the light pink card stock. Now adhere the pocket to the center of the card front. 


Now add glue or adhesive to the folded flap and adhere your card front down. 


Now you can adhere your papers to the inside. On the bottom of the card find a sentiment and pop up with foam tape, this help secure the easel portion of the card to stand up. 
Now we are done. 


Card #3

For this card you will use a card from the Card Kit and cut the front flap off at 2 inches. So you will have a little flap left. 

Next I used the doily stamp from the card kit with versa mark and heat embossed  a couple panels for this inside of the card. 

Next I took the chipboard frame from the kit, laid it down on my pattern paper and made tiny dots from the inner openings around the chipboard piece. Once I was done I connected the dots and cut out the oval and adhered to the back of the chipboard frame. 


Only on one side of the chipboard piece add glue as shown below. 


Adhere the chipboard frame to the center of the front flap. 
I added one of the pretty pink hearts to the center of the frame with one of the sentiments from the collection and I fussy cut the dove adhered it to the frame. I also added some flat back pearls around the card.  This card turned out so beautiful. It's one of my favorites.
