Stamping Sunday March Blog Hop - Easter Parade

 Hello and welcome,

It's Stamping 2nd Sunday latest blog hop for March and the theme is Easter Parade for the Design Team. I love this time of year with Easter not too far away and with all the yummy chocolate goodies to treat ourselves or give to someone we love. 

For my projects today I was thinking what do I already have in my crafty stash that I could come up with for my Slimline Card and 3D Project. Well for one thing I couldn't go past is the Springtime Joy Stamp Set which is available in the Mini 2021 January to June Catalogue. There is a bunny (which is so adorable), chicken and lamb plus cute little flowers, butterfly and sentiments. 

Slimline Card:

Starting with the card base using Thick Whisper/Basic White Cardstock cut at 21cm x 21cm, score at 10.5cm. Cut a panel of Basic White Cardstock at 10cm x 20.5cm this will be the base for the background of the bunny scene. To create the grass I've used a stencil of scrap Cardstock and created a curve in the cardstock with the Paper Snips. 

Using Pear Pizzazz Ink I lightly added Ink with the Blending Brush to the Cardstock and then I added Balmy Blue Ink for the sky lightly fading out to the top.

As it's not Spring in the Southern Hemisphere and I didn't have any other Stamp Sets that said Happy Easter, so I used Playful Alphabet Dies and created an Ombre effect using Cinnamon Cider Ink, a strip of Basic White Cardstock and Blending Brush. I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets to add more depth to the card.

The three bunnies are stamped in Memento Ink onto Basic White Cardstock and coloured in with the Stampin' Blends using - Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Flirty Flamingo, Purple Posy, Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green and blending in with the Color Lifter.

I've fussy cut out the bunnies, butterflies and flowers sorry no Dies with the Springtime Joy Stamp Set. 

The pot plants images are from the Simply Succulents Stamp Set they are stamped in Memento Ink onto Basic White Cardstock and coloured in with the Stampin' Blends using - Purple Posy, Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo, Smoky Slate and Balmy Blue. Then I fussy cut out the pot plants. There is a Die for the pot plant but it didn't take too long for me to cut them out. 

I've placed the bunnies inside the plant pots and added the flowers and butterflies. I like how I've made them peaky out from the pot plants. It looks like they are up to mischief! 

3D Project

To create my Daisy and bunny treat bag, I've used the All Dressed Up Dies and Basic White Cardstock. Using the bag die to cut out two pieces for the treat bag. I've added coloured ink to the dies cut pieces as I did with the Slimline Card. 

To create the Daisy I've punch out two of the Medium Daisies and two of the larger Daisies in Basic White Cardstock and added Daffodil Delight Ink with the Blending Brush. The Highland Heather center piece is a button which is from the All Dressed Up Dies and it fits perfectly in the center. The Pear Pizzazz leaf is from the Hydrangea Dies.

On the other side is the stamped images of the bunny, basket and flower all the same as the bunnies on the Slimline Card.
