Magic Bunnies

Here are the Easter cards I made for my daughters, Caitlin & Rebecca, and husband, Dennis:



Bunny Magic Card Closed
(this one is for Rebecca!)

Bunny Magic Card - Colored Bunny Revealed!
So FUN!

I stamped the bunny in the egg from the Everybunny stamp set in Jet Black Staz On ink and colored it in with Stampin' Write Markers on watercolor paper with blender pens.  I then stamped another bunny in egg image on a piece of window sheet with StazOn using my Stamp-a-ma-jig (yes! that's really the name of the tool that is a stamp positioner when you need precise stamp alignment every time!)

Bunny & Egg Magic Card
(this one is for Caitlin!)

Bunny & Eggs Magic Card - Colored Bunny Revealed!

I used the same technique as with Rebecca's card for Caitlin's version.
I added the image from the Every Egg Standard Wheel on watercolor paper.

Hot "Egg" Balloon Card
(this one is for Dennis!)

I'm thinking he'd like to be dropping Easter cheers to everyone just like this sweet bunny!

Watering Can Flowers

I found these stinkin' cute watering cans and I thought...hmmmm...I know exactly what I want to make with THESE!  So, here they are...

Isn't this just FUN?

Here's a close up of the flowers...

The flowers are made using the Patterns Designer Series Paper Stacks in the Brights Collection (Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry) and Subtles Collection (Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue). I stamped the flowers in black StazOn with the Mixed Bunch stamp set and punched them out with the matching punch.  Quick & easy!  I then adhered the two of each flower to floral picks as stems.  Sticky Strip holds on the Easter colored Rolo candies to each blossom.  Fun, huh?

All that was left to do was to add some Easter basket grass to the watering can and stick the flowers in and arrange them.

Don't miss out...if you haven't placed your order from the Occasions Mini Catalog, you'd better get a wiggle on!  The Mixed Bunch stamp set and coordinating Blossom punch in the catalog are only available until the end of this month (April 30, 2012).  Check it out on my Stampin' Up!
