Just in time for Easter, we have this beautiful new bunny die! Isn’t it adorable? And so detailed with the scored lines and flower cuts. I die cut it out of white, then embossed it only on a piece of mint green textured card stock and fussy cut it out to place underneath the white die cut. I also die cut a white solid heart and the scroll heart die. On the scroll heart, I used mint green Copic markers to color it to match the other papers.

After die cutting two layers using the labels 2, I stamped the tiny flower on the top of the large white background and added a strip of dotted paper on the bottom. The greeting was stamped and die cut with a circle die and the larger circle was colored with the same mint green Copic to match.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Now it’s time to send you on to your next stop the wonderful blog of the talented Karen Amidon!

Today we are introducing this wonderful Shamrock die! Don’t you love the Celtic knot work in the shamrock petals? I die cut the shamrock out of some recycled box panels. I loved the dk green color and it is really heavy weight, but the die handled it with no problem. I also die cut a couple more shamrocks out of plain card stock and stacked them together w/ the green one on top for some extra dimension. It’s attached to a die cut circle of textured aqua and I die cut larger circles on the top layers of mossy green and patterned dp. The dp was also die cut on the lower edge w/ a curved die and I attached a strip of white die cut w/ a coordinating curved border. The greeting was stamped on an angle in the lower right corner with green ink. I outlined the letters w/ a dark green Micron pen and added shading and sparkle with a Stardust pen. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

On my Christmas card, I die cut the beautiful bird in white and traced around the die on red and fussy cut it to attach behind the white die cut version. The sentiment was stamped on white and I used a bracket border die to cut the bottom. I used another die from the border set to cut the red layer beneath it. A red snowflake and some red and clear crystals were added to finish my 5.50 x 4.25 card.

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Peace on Earth, Small Snowflake

Paper: Neenah white, dk red

Ink: Memento love letter

Accessories: Serendipity Bird die, Spellbinders bracket border dies, crystals

For my non-Christmas card, I went with a sympathy card. After stamping the sentiment on the lower section, I die cut the dove above it. I used some blue-green Copics to color the die cut bird then used the ink spots image to add the dots on the bird and also on the light blue layer. The stamped die cut bird was then added back into the empty die cut space. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Ink Spots, Angels who Journey

Paper: Neenah white, lt blue

Ink: Colorbox deep lagoon chalk ink

Accessories: Copic markers, Serendipity bird die
