Hello and welcome to the Share it Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing  a project we have been working on. I am sharing is a pretty Easter bunny themed card made using the Playing in the Rain stamp set and co-ordinating Dies.

To recreate the Easter bunny card, you will need:

Granny Apple Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅛”” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Dandy Designs dsp – 5” by 3¼“– rounded upper left corner

Scrap Basic White card and Dandy Designs dsp

 

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the panel of Dandy Designs dsp to the smaller panel of Basic White card. I used the same liquid glue to add the panel to the Granny Apple Green card base.

The bunny, from the Playing in the Rain stamp set was stamped onto scrap Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I die cut the image using the Playing in the Rain Dies. I added colour to the ears and nose using Petal Pink Blends Pens.

Wreath of Blooms

Some lovely ladies gathered at my house yesterday to make the pretty Wreath of Blooms Kit. I love our kits, they are so easy to put together and so easy to customise as well.

 

The colours in this project are:

 

I had made my wreath up beforehand so that I had some idea how it went together. I had also decided to frame mine.

The ladies popped out all the pieces of that made up the flowers and leaves. Using bone folders they shaped the flower petals and stacked them together before adding the centre pieces and the brads to hold them together.

Each leaf was folded down the middle and again shaped with a bone folder and/or fingers.

The yellow flower was created by loosening the fibres with a bone folder before folding in half down the length. It was held together with a strip of Tear ‘n Tape. The flowers were then rolled up using Mini Glue Dots, inserted periodically to hold the flower together.

The flowers and leaves were then added to the triangular back piece using either hot glue, Tear ‘n Tape or Mini Glue Dots.

All of the ladies decided to cover the cardboard wreath using either Jute Twine (from my stash) or lace trim which one lady brought with her. The flowers are leaves were then added to the wreath with Hot Glue to complete the wreath.

One of the ladies decided to frame her wreath and chose a piece of Bloom Where You’re Planted dsp, cut to 9⅛” by 9⅛” to cover the back panel. She adhered the two together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The Wreath was added to the back panel of the shadow box with Hot Glue and the flowers were then added with the frame in place. The decorated piece was inserted into the frame and the back closed.

 

They all looked really lovely. I hope you like them.

Spring/Summer cards and a lidded box

Easter/Spring Adult Education All Day Event

Thank you to all the lovely ladies who came to my Adult Education Easter/Spring themed event on Sunday 25th March. I am sharing today the projects they made. I had set up 5 project tables where they made either 2 cards or a simple lidded box + the sweet little bird house featured in the post on the 23rd March.

Spring/Summer cards and a lidded box

www.crafty-rootes,com – Spring/Summer-Adult-Education-Workshop using Stampin’ Up! product

On arrival each lady was given a pack containing all the pre-cut cardstock layers and card bases they needed to complete the card projects and during the day they moved from table to table making all the projects. The lidded box was pre-scored for them and just needed to be trimmed, put together and decorated. They did use the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the cardstock for the birdhouse and assembled this from scratch.

At the table featuring the Watercolor Wings set they were able to try out 4 step stamping using the new Stamparatus  stamp positioning tool which was a resounding success, everybody loved it! They also used the sponge brayer plus an embossing folder and Big Shots to die cut lots of pieces. They also used the Stampin’ Blends on a couple of the projects and really enjoyed using them.

Sweet little birdhouse made using Stampin’ Up! product

Bird House Easter Treats

Today I am sharing these adorable little birdhouse treat boxes. I designed these for my Easter/Spring all-day Adult Education event on Sunday 25th March and decided to make the ladies one each as a table gift. They are just big enough to hold a crème egg ……yummy. I made them in a variety of spring colours.

I started with a piece of cardstock 6½” by 5¾”. Using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool I scored on the 6½” side at 1½”, 3”, 4½”, and 6” and on the 5¾” side at 1½”, 3¾”, and 5¼”. I folded and burnished on all the score lines.

I pinched in the top and clipped it together with a mini clothespin.

I ran the panel through the Big Shot again using the scalloped die from the Apron Builder Framelit dies on either end.
