LOTV Easter Bunny Cards

 I need to make a bunch of Easter cards to mail ASAP so I used precolored LOTV digi stamps. I'm also working on using up an older paper collection from CTMH called Chelsea Garden

So with the same image I used different sketches and sentiments. I kept them pretty flat and mailable, no extra embellishments.

Stack of Easter Cards with Lili of the Valley

I'm back again with using up some of my old partial paper packs - this time Kioshi by Basic Gray. It's mostly pastel colors that works great for Easter cards. Since I needed to make a bunch of them quick I used precolored printables by LOTV. Since I had to mail them, I kept them all flat - but that worked well with the layers and the busy print.

and here is a detailed look

Challenges:

Allsorts - Something Old, Something New (old papers, new images)

My Time To Craft - Easter Cuties

The Paper Funday - Easter

Pearly Sparkles - Bunnies, Birds or Bears

Using My Stash - Easter and baby card

Since I have all this free time on my hands I'm continuing with using up old packs of designer paper.

This time I finished a really old pack of Basic Grey paper called Lilykate - Basic Grey stopped making paper packs years ago, so you can imagine the age of this paper :)

There were only 6 sheets and some scraps left, so I managed to make 9 cards - the color palette is very soft blues, greens and yellows - perfect for baby and Easter cards.

and here is a close up: baby cards using SU stamps, colored with alcohol markers

Today I have a fun little masculine card for you, featuring another boy stamp from Lili of The Valley.

Image is colored with alcohol markers and the cloudy paper seemed like a perfect match for the image.

Cutie Pie Challenge - One for the boys

Happy Little Stamper Dies - AG with dies

30 day Use Your Scraps challenge - Day 22 - Going Golfing

Day 22

I found these patterned papers in my scraps and the argyle pattern really reminded me of golfing vests -  exactly like this little guy from Lili of The Valley is wearing - so I just have to match them together

Image is colored with a mix of alcohol markers and cut out by hand.

Challenges:

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - Anything Goes

My Time To Craft - Men Only

Crafting With Friends - Anything Goes

30 day Use Your Scraps challenge - Day 9 - Purple Valentine

Day 9

I'm back with another Love/Valentine card - I'm not sending out Valentines so I usually try to make them more to suit any love related occasion. This one is really scrappy:

The background was created with half inch strips of various purple papers/card stock. I covered a piece of paper with double sided adhesive sheet and then just lay down the strips the way you like them - no fussy glue-ing necessary. 

Tip: you can use any ugly single sided patterned paper for the base of this - my strips were glued on the back side of brown DP with ugly pattern that I would never use otherwise. Double win: you'll use the ugly papers and don't have to use any of your "good" papers.

Image is a precolored square from Lili of the Valley. Sentiment is from a sheet of digis I had for ages.

Challenges:

The Paper Players - Love Is In The Air

Card Mania - Love Is In The Air

PSC63 - LOTV - Spring Wedding Blossoms

Good morning and Happy Sunday! Today's Paper Sundaes challenge is Spring Blossoms. It finally looks like spring is on the way here, so the theme fits perfectly!
It's going to be our 10th wedding anniversary in couple weeks so I decided to make a spring wedding card. I used Lili of the Valley stamp called I Do - stamped the image with Memento and colored it with Copics. I tried to make dotty background around the image. The papers are from Graphic 45 - Once Upon a Springtime collection and I used a sketch from current Simon Says Stamp Challenge.
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
LOTV - Spring
ABC Challenge - R for roses
