Happy Wednesday everyone! Thanks for joining me. Today I’m sharing a really fun interactive card featuring some goodies from Trinity Stamps. First off, these bunnies from the Dust Bunnies set last year are so cute and I was so excited to pull them back out to play! Second, it was so much fun to make them into an interactive card! I keep playing with it while it’s sitting on my desk.

To create my card, I started with the Dust Bunnies stamps, Slimline Woodsy background stamp and 4-bar card dies and played around with size and placement. Once I had an idea, I stamped the bunnies, colored them with some copics and cut them out with the coordinating dies. Then I inked up a kraft panel with ground espresso and gathered twigs distress oxide inks. I spritzed it with water and after it was dry, stamped it with the Woodsy background stamp. Then I die cut that panel with the largest 4-bar card die. Next, I cut a piece of green cardstock with the same rectangle, inked it up with mowed lawn distress oxide and spritzed it too. I cut the top off with the grass die in the slimline great outdoors borders set and then cut the slider mechanism with the smallest track in the slimline twist and slide dies.

Moving along to assembly. I laid the grass panel on the woodgrain panel to use as a guide and adhered the piece that cut out the track. This was it’s green like the ground behind my bunny too. I added double-height foam squares to the back of the green panel and single layer foam to a piece of white cardstock smaller than my bunny. Pushing the foam squares on the white cardstock square through the slider track, I peeled off the liner paper and adhered my bunny to it. Then I removed the liner paper from the green panel and adhered it to the woodgrain background. I popped my other bunny in place and moved on to my sentiment.

I chose a sentiment from Springtime Sentiments, stamped it and die cut it with a banner from the 4-bar card die set. I added foam strips to the back and popped it in place, along with my second bunny. I thought the panel was lacking so I went digging and found butterflies in the Hello There set that I thought would go great. I stamped, colored and die cut those and popped them up with foam squares too.

For the background on my card base, I went with yellow so make it bright and cheerful. I inked up the edges with mustard seed distress oxide and spritzed it with water. Then I went back with Avery Elle white ink spray and once that was all dry, I die cut the panel with the A2 quilted cover die. I added this it a white card base with liquid glue and popped my scene up with foam strips.

For finishing touches I added black glaze pen to the bunny’s eyes, glossy accents to their noses and unicorn Stickles to the butterflies. Then I found some clay carrots in my stash and added those on either side of the sentiment banner for an extra cute touch.

I know that was a lot of steps today but I promise it’s so worth it when your card is finished! It’s adorable and so fun to play with. And I can’t wait to share it with someone when it gets closer to Easter too!

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by! Today I’m over on the Trinity Stamps blog sharing this really super amazing slimline card featuring some of my favorite critters ever!!! I love bats in real life but these cuties just take the cake! Let’s check it out!

I have a little photo grid to walk you through the first steps I did to create my card. I had the design in mind already so after laying the stamps out to make sure things would fit how I wanted, this is what I did.

I stamped and colored the images from Fang-tastic Friends with my copics. Then I cut them out with the coordinating dies. I pulled out the embossed edge circle stack and chose the sizes that fit best together and arranged things. Then I blending distress oxides in twisted citron, pine needles and chipped sapphire on a panel. I spritzed the panel with water and then flicked it with pearl watercolor and black acrylic paint for some fun texture and shimmer. Then I ran the inked panel through my die cutter with the largest slimline series embossed panel die. Next, I taped the embossed edge circles in place and ran those through on a white panel.

To get the line stamped just where it needed to be, I put my inked panel and the white panel in my MISTI and used the images to line everything up. Picked up the stamp with the lid and removed everything by the inked panel so I could stamp the line down. I did this same technique for each opening and it worked like a charm.

I added everything with foam squares and tape, and the moved on to my sentiment. I took one of the sentiments from the Fang-tastic Friends set and stamped it while masking the middle word. I heat embossed them in white on black cardstock and used a banner from the 4-bar card die set to cut them out. Then I used the graham cracker alphabet to cut the word hang from black cardstock 3 times and used a quickie glue pen to glue them all together. This pen works great for teeny tiny pieces. I used foam squares on the back of the banners and popped them in place too.

For the last finishing touches on this sweet card, I added glossy accents to all the bat noses and left it at that. Isn’t this card just adorable?!? And I was able to get extra use out of a Halloween-themed stamp set too! Dig in your stash, maybe you have something fun that you could try too!

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Hi again! Popping in with a super bright and happy slimline card featuring Trinity Stamps goodies today too. Hoping these sunshiny vibes will go out into the universe and come back to me in the form of a weather change around here. Haha!

I started by stamping and coloring images from Hello There with my copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. I stenciled a white panel with the Waving Hello layering stencil in 2 different yellow inks. I die cut a scalloped frame from Slimline Series: Envelope Builder die set.

Moving on to assembly, I used liquid glue to adhere the stenciled panel to a slimline card base measuring 3.5×8.5 inches. I added foam strips to the back of the frame and put that down next. Then I added foam squares to the back of all my images and sentiment and put them in place.

For finishing touches, I added some glossy accents here and there on places like the gnome shirt sleeve and parts of random butterflies. Then I went back and added a little sparkle with unicorn Stickles to other parts of butterflies.

Cheers to better weather soon…I hope. I could really use some sunshine and walks outside soon.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me today. Have a fabulous day!
