Happy Easter!

Hi Ai Fans!
Today is Good Friday and my last chance to share an Easter card with you. Today's card uses the "Easter Blessings" stamp set that was designed by Kendra Krebs. These little bunnies are adorable and you could use them for an Easter or spring themed card! 
I created a little scene using the MFT Grassy Hills and Woodgrain die-namic dies. My paper is from the Echo Park Spring collection from last year. I used my Silhouette machine to cut around the images so I could add them to my scene.
Look at all the stamps that you get with this "Easter Blessings" set.
Here's a side view so you can see the different dimensions on this card.
Copics Used:
C0, C1, C3, R01, R81, R83, R85, R89, Y02
B000, BG10, BG11, BG13, YG03, YG17

Here's another card using the same Easter Greetings set.
Happy Easter to You!

New Mini Tryfolds!

Hi Ai Fans!
How fun are the Mini Try-Fold stamp sets!!! I got to play with the Everything Wonderful set (#4851)! I just love this little kitty who is helping to celebrate a special Birthday.
The nice thing with the Mini Try-fold sets are that you get everything you need in the package to create, stamp and cut your fun folded card. There are even instructions included so there is no excuse not to try them out LOL!
I like to use the Ai Tryfold card bases as they are already scored and folded in the size you need them to be! Makes it just that 1 step easier.
You can either stamp right onto your card base or as I am stamp onto some stamped marker friendly paper. I used my MISTI to help get a perfectly stamped image. I just used my dies to see where I had to place my image so I have room to cut them out.
Once I had the images stamped and cut out, I coloured them with my Copic Sketch Markers.
Using the 2 larger images and the included metal dies cut out the little "windows" in the middle of your images.
Now you are ready to assemble your card! I used Designer paper that I cut at 3 1/2" x 5 1/8". This leaves a small white border around the edges. You don't want too many layers of paper on the card base as it will be hard to cut out the "window". 
My first step was to cut out the window of the largest image with my die cutting machine. Looking through the front window, I lined up the middle image and adhered that with some glue. Once that was dry I cut out the middle image window. Now you can add your cupcake to the inside and final layer.
All you need to do now is add your finishing details. I added sentiments from the set, some ribbon, bow and enamel dots to complete my card! It's really easy to use the Mini Tryfold sets and they make such cute and fun cards!

Copics Used:
Pinks: R81, R83, R85
Yellows: Y13, Y15, Y17
Blue Greens: BG000, BG70, BG72, BG75
E89, W0
Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen

I hope you will play along with our Challenge "Make It Mini"! Thanks for stopping by!

Egg-Cellent Friend!

Howdy!
I am totally loving the new "Think Spring" Release over at High Hopes Stamps! I mean..... seriously..... how cute is this little elephant and his friends!!!! This stamp is called "Egg-Cellent Friend"!
I stamped my image on some Copic XPress-It paper and then cut it out with a Stitched Square die. My layout is very simple this time with just one patterned paper and some layered cardstock. I absolutely love the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow collection! It's so bright and fun! I added the newly released sentiment "Happy Easter" and some YNS enamel dots to finish things off.
