Butterfly Kiss with clouds in the grass!

Hello friends! I have a cute card to share today with the newly released Butterfly Kiss stamp set and coordinating die from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I paired it with the clouds in my coffee stencil, using it not only for the sky, but my grass as well!



I absolutely love this Butterfly Kiss stamp set. I stamped all of the images, colored, and die cut them. To make the background, I covered the bottom of my white panel with an oval to block off where I wanted my grass mound to go. Then, using the Clouds in my Coffee stencil, I blended Speckled Egg distress oxide to build my sky.


When I finished building my clouds, I stamped the sentiment directly to the panel. Next, I used an oval frame to blend Mowed Lawn distress ink to make the mound. Then, I used the Clouds in my Coffee stencil to add shape to my grass mound.


Next, I adhered the images that I die cut to the scene I had built. To finish my card, I adhered it to a green card base.

Snail Mail with a sparkle!

Hello, Kimberly here with a card featuring Snail Mail Flower from the latest release. I love this cute little snail and wanted a way to easily jazz up this image.

 


To make this card, I stamped the snail from Snail Mail Flower on white cardstock. I covered it with a mask (image stamped on paper, cut out and placed the image) and then layered a long post it note over it where I wanted the skyline and grass to meet. I blended Mowed Grass distress ink over the exposed bottom of the cardstock. Next I flipped the post it note to expose the top of the cardstock and blended Tumbled Glass distress ink over the top. Once I removed the post it note, I had my background! 

I colored in the snail with Copics and decided I was not crazy about how I colored the shell. So I stamped the image on another piece of cardstock and colored the shell with new colors. I fussy cut the shell out and popped it up with foam tape on the snail on my original panel. Then I blinged it out using some sequins I had in my stash. I really loved this sentiment from Sassy Sentiments and thought it fit perfect with this card so I stamped it directly on the card. I put foam tape on the back of the snail panel and added it to a card base I had prepared for it. I hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hippo Botanical with a twist

 Hello! Kimberly here with a different way to use Hippo Botanical from the new release. I just love the flower from this set and thought it looked really lovely with the new Amanda stencil. I may have an unhealthy obsession with foam tape. I need to pop everything up, so why not make the flower pop?




I started out blending Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn distress ink through the Amanda stencil on watercolor paper. 


Next, I covered the whole panel with texture paste.


Once that dried, I die cut it down to 4" x 5 1/4" and started with my flowers.


I stamped and fussy cut the hippo flower, the flower and the three lily pad leaves from the Hippo Botanical set. I colored the flowers in using R27, R37, R39, YR12, and YR07. I colored the leaves with YG00, YG05, and YG09. 



Next, I assembled my card. I adhered the leaf panel to my card base and added a brown frame I had in my stash. I added foam tape to the smaller flower. I lined it up to just cover the hippo and added it to the bigger flower. Then I added my leaves and my flower to the card. I stamped out a sentiment from Sassy Sentiments on a strip of white cardstock and layered it over a piece of patterned paper. To finish off with a little sparkle, I ran my clear Wink of Stella over the leaves. I hope you like it! 

Thank you for stopping by!

Time to Shake it!

 Hi there! Kimberly here to share with you how I made this card using the Tropical State of Mind stamp set illustrated by Tatsiana for The Rabbit Hole Designs April Release. I am ready to be on the beach looking at her in the grass skirt! 


To start, I colored in my dancing bunny with Copics {listed below} and die cut her using the Tropical State of Mind Dies. Next I blended Kitsch Flamingo distress ink and Twisted Citron Distress ink through the Tastes Like Honey Stencil on white cardstock. I die cut that with an oval die and layered in on an oval piece of pink cardstock. Then I added foam tape and popped it up on another piece of pink cardstock that I die cut using a decorative oval die in my stash.  I added the bunny and a fern leaf that I had in my stash to the oval.  I heat embossed the sentiment on black paper and added it to my oval panel. To make my background, I ink smooshed Kitsch Flamingo Distress ink and Twisted Citron Distress ink on watercolor paper. I dried it with my heat tool and attached it to the card base. I glued the oval panel to the ink smooshed card base. To finish off my card, I added some sequin. to the fern. This is such an adorable set!!

Copics: 
Bunny: E50, E53, R11, RV13 
Skirt: YG21, YG23, YG25
Flower: RV13, RV17
Maraca: Y11, Y13, Y19

Mermaid Wishes Shaker Card

 Hello! Kimberly here sharing this cute shaker card using the adorable Harley Merbunny set from The Rabbit Hole Designs April release. I just love this bunny and had so much fun creating with this set this month!


I started out by ink smooshing Jayne Davenport Incredible Ink in the following colors: Fresh Air, Mermaid Tail, Hydrangea, and Limeade. Once dry, I put the Splash Splash Stencil on the top and dabbed off some of the ink through the stencil with a wet paper towel to reveal the pattern. I trimmed it down to 4" x 5 1/4" and die cut the center with a circle. I placed my card base in my Misti, and lined up my inked panel on the card base so I could line up my mermaid sentiment where I wanted it. I stamped the sentiment, added the acetate to the inked panel, and all the foam tape for the shaker. Before adhering it to the card base I put a bit of shaker elements in the center. Once I attached the inked panel, I added the scallop circle frame around the circle. Next, I watercolored the Harley Merbunny with Distress Oxides {listed below}. I used the Harley Merbunny Die to cut it out and adhered it to the Inked panel. I heat embossed the sentiment "#Simple Pleasures" on black paper from the Simple Things stamp set and adhered that to the card. I finished off the card with dew drops and a sequin on the starfish. 

Distress ink:
Harley: Pumice Stone Distress And Distress Oxide inks, Spun Sugar Oxide, Worn Lipstick Oxide
Tail: Worn Lipstick Oxide and Dusty Concord Oxide
Shell: Antique Linen Oxide, Worn Lipstick Oxide, Gathered Twigs Oxide
Starfish: Antique Linen, Worn Lipstick, Pumice Stone Oxide

Distress Glazed Mandala with Caffeinated Rhino

 Hello crafty friends! Kimberly here with The Rabbit Hole Designs! My card today pairs the recently released Corner Mandala and an older favorite of mine, Caffeinated Rhino. I just love how well they go together! 

I started making the background by lightly blending Speckled Egg and Pumice Stone Distress Oxides on watercolor paper using my Cotton Tail Blending Brushes. Then I put the stencil on the blended cardstock and blended Distress Glaze over some areas of the stencil (this is a resist glaze so ink will not stick to it). 


After I blended the distress glaze, I sprayed over the stencil with Pumice Stone Distress Spray. I dabbed off the excess ink before taking off the stencil to prevent too much leaking under the stencil. Then I stamped my Caffeinated Rhino on a smaller piece of watercolor paper with Ranger Archival ink. I used my distress inks to watercolor in my Rhino and the bird. Then I die cut them using the Caffeinated Rhino die. I also die cut a "shadow" for the rhino with grey cardstock just to add a little bit of color behind him. I used the sentiment from the stamp set by embossing it with white embossing powder on black cardstock. Once I had all of my pieces as you see here:


... I began to build my card. I cut down the Background to 5 1/4" x 4" and added that to a piece of grey cardstock. Then I glued my rhino slightly staggered off the grey rhino "shadow" and added foam tape behind him to pop him up. I glued the little bird to the tip of his horn and added a tiny piece of foam tape behind it as well. I attached the sentiment to the bottom of the card and used that as a ground for the Rhino to "stand" on so he didn't look like he was floating in air. Finally, I attached this to a white card base. I just love the soft colors!

Holiday Smooch With "Love You More"

Happy Holidays!
New DTM Kelly here and I am excited to share my first project for

I took a their romantic Valentine themed stamp set, "Love You More" and 
set the couple in a holiday theme under the mistletoe.  
I use their incredibly sweet "Candy Twist" stencil on the background panel with red glitz gel.  
I used the large heart in the set upside down to create the mistletoe.







I was inspired by Kristina Werner's guest post to add snow to their hair.
They are both dressed in holiday colors.

In the patch- with Katie

Happy Thursday crafters!  Katie here with a fun fall themed post for you today.  Just trying to get you geared up for you upcoming trip to the pumpkin patch!


I love this Pumpkin Friends set from the recent release, it is so cute and fun, and of course pairs perfectly with Gourdgeous.  So let me share how I made today's card.

How to:
  • I started this card by stamping my image using my Misti on Copic friendly paper.  I colored it them using my markers (see colors and other supplies on my blog).  I fussy cut them out with my snips and set them aside. 
  • Next, I worked on my backdrop. I started by die cutting a bit of paper with the scalloped edge and then used distress inks to create a sky and ground.  I splashed a little water on the scene to give texture to the sky.
  • After that, I stamped my image again so the shadow would be part of the scene.
  • I used some dies to cut leaves and stems, the closest I had to what might look like pumpkin greenery.  I added a little bit of Crushed Olive distress ink on a few edges to add to the colors.  I aslo cut a few thin strips of darker green paper and made the curly cues that you often see on pumpkins.
  • I used various glues and foam tape to mount the pumpkins and the leaves and put the scene together.
  • I chose to stamp the sentiment last, always a risky proposition, but it worked out. 
  • Lastly, I mounted the front later on black cardstock



So, pumpkin friends for the win?!  I think they are a sweet pair and they would be my first choice in the Pumpkin Patch. :)



Thank you for visiting me here today!  I hope you enjoyed this post and are loving this new release!  Please head to my blog for a full list of supplies. ~Katie

Rare and Beautiful- with Katie

Happy Tuesday!  Are you having a good week? So far so good here.  

Today I have another fun card using the Sassy Stamp set. 


Isn't it cute?  I just love this color combo, it is so magical, especially with those sparkly stars. 

Here is how I made it: 
  • Stamped out the unicorn from the Sassy set and colored it using my Copics (RV02, RV14, V04, V17, YG23, C1, C3).  I added some highlights with my white gel pen and then fussy cut it out. 
  • Next I die cut this scene using this die from my stash, it is inclusive of the clouds and rainbow.  I used colored paper for the rainbows and added a little blue distress ink to my clouds. 
  • I added a blue sky behind and mounted on a white base, then I added the clouds and rainbow, popping some of them out.  
  • Next, I added my unicorn in front of the rainbow.  
  • I stamped the sentiment on an extra bit of white and put it up front. 
  • Lastly, I die cut these stars out of some sparkly pink paper and placed them on my scene.  



A pretty simple card to make.  Here is the close up of the unicorn with those bright and fun colors.  The sentiment is lovely too- "A true friend is like a unicorn, beautiful and rare."


Well that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this post and will share your thoughts below.  You can visit my blog for a full list of supplies.

Hop To It- with Katie

Hello peeps!   It's Katie, back today to share one more bunny card.  I really can't get enough of her, she is too sweet!


She just melts my heart!  I love that she is out there playing with her butterfly friends, enjoying nature. 



Here is how I did it: 

  • Used a stencil and distress inks to create the cloud and grass background.  Die cut to the smaller square shape.  
  • Stamped and colored the bunny from the Easter Bounty set with my Copics.  Die cut and set aside. 
  • Die cut the fence and grass dies and placed in the scene. Placed the bunny on top.  
  • Die cut rainbow of butterflies and added them to the scene with some pearl embellishments.

Pretty easy peasy right!?




That is all I have for you today.  I hope you have enjoyed this fun and fairly simple spring card.

Jellyfish Thank You


Welcome back to the blog Rabbit Hole fans!
It's Lisa back again today to bring you a Thank You card using the
Sofishticated stamp set. I just love the Jellyfish stamp from this set. 
It has such beautiful intricacies in the main body and tail and 
I think it looks very elegant when heat embossed in gold.

I started by doing some ink blending with several colors of
distress inks. I used Twisted Citron, Broken China, Squeezed Lemonade,
and Salty Ocean. After all of the blending I sprayed some water droplets
for a more distressed look.  I also sprayed some homemade glimmer mist
for some extra shine. The camera doesn't pick that up very well.
I made sure to use my anti-static tool over the ink blending to I could 
heat emboss without making a mess.  I stamped the Jellyfish stamp
in clear Versamark ink and then sprinkled gold embossing powder
over it. I used my heat gun to melt the powder and I just love the results!
I also added a gold frame with foil card stock to finish off the edges.
The Thank You sentiment was cut with the same gold foil as the frame and 
I added some blue jewels for some added interest and sparkle.

I love how this card came out, the ink blending was the perfect background
for this whimsical Jellyfish and the gold accents are so elegant.

Have a great day, I already am!

Heave Ho!- with Katie




Happy Monday! With Easter just around the corner I have been busy with bunnies!  This card was inspired by MaryAnn, her bunny flying the kite gave me the inspiration for the bunny to pull string to heave this huge carrot out of the ground.  I assume Ms. Rabbit is planning on having a feast. :)


Here is how I did it: 
  • I started by die cutting my background with the scallop frame die.  Next, I used my distress inks and stencil to create the cloud background. I set that aside.
  • I stamped and colored my images using my Copics.  I cut them out using a die cut machine. 
  • Next, I went about to create the rest of the scene, die cutting grass, branches and leaves and carefully placed them on the scene using foam tape. 
  • I added twine to my carrot and mounted my carrot on the background and then wrapped it around the tree branch and wrapped it around the bunny's hand.  I mounted the bunny with foam tape as well. 
  • Lastly, I mounted the entire scene on to my white cardstock base.



She looks pretty happy for someone working so hard to pull that carrot out of the ground.  I would be sweating up a storm!  ;)


 This bunny is pretty much the cutest thing EVER!  She is from the Easter Bounty set. 
I hope you enjoyed this card and post, I enjoyed making it!  For further details on supplies feel I would be happy for you to visit my blog- KBStamps.
