The flowers and leaves from the Simon Says Stamp Artful Flowers Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth cardstock with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder before being watercolored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush pen. While the images were air drying, I die cut a rectangle from watercolor cardstock using a Simon Says Stamp Basics Rectangles Die and applied Twisted Citron and Salty Ocean Distress Inks to the background before spritzing with water from a Distress Sprayer and blotting dry with a paper towel.

The solid grassy border was adhered to the sky background. On the border with the die cut slider track, I stamped two phrases from the new Simon Says Stamp Easter Greetings Stamp Set using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
For the slider, I placed a penny behind the track and doubled up some foam adhesive dots in the center. I used a powder tool on the back of the Doodlebug Easter Doodle Pops sticker to make it un-sticky, then attached it to the foam dots on the penny.
On the back of the slider track border, I placed a layer of foam adhesive, making sure to stay away from the edges of the track, leaving the penny room to slide and move. I removed the backing paper off the foam adhesive and attached the border to the card background.
The carrots and flowers from the Easter Sprinkles sticker sheet were adhered to the scene as shown and the background was attached to a white side fold card base.
It's time for my weekly video series, It's In The Details, for the Waffle Flower Inspiration Team. Every week I will share a new video featuring amazing Waffle Flower Stamps and Dies.
The new Lacy Layers 5x7 Dies make creating fantastic layers for larger cards so super easy! Three layers were used for this sweet Hello card featuring the Enveloper OK Stamps and coordinating dies. Simple embellishing with an opaque white pen and Glossy Accents add subtle but effective detail to these adorable images! A soft dusting of Chirp Chirp Ink on the background helps the images pop from the classic white background.
Images from the Enveloper OK Stamps were stamped on smooth white cardstock and colored in the images with Copic Markers. The images were die cut with the coordinating Enveloper Dies and details were added to the die cut stamped images with white and black opaque glaze pens.
Two layers were die cut from smooth white cardstock using the Lacy Layers 5x7 Dies. On the stitched rectangle, I stamped additional images from the Enveloper OK Stamps and then brushed Chirp Chirp Ink over the bottom part of the panel using an Ink Dusting Tool. The die cut stamped images were adhered along the bottom edge of the design as shown and a greeting from the Enveloper Hello Stamp Set was stamped on the background.
The stitched rectangle layer was adhered to a scalloped rectangle layer with foam adhesive and then adhered to the 5x7 black die cut layer. The design was finished with Glossy Accents on the eyes, thought bubble, centers of flowers, and dots in the background.

Hey friends! I'm addicted to creating pop up cards and today I have one featuring one of my favorite Lawn Fawn stamp sets from last year's release, the Chirpy Chirp Chirp Stamp Set. By pairing the images from this stamp set with the Stitched Hillside Pop Up, new Grassy Hillside Pop Up Add On, and Simple Grassy Hillsides, I've created a fun, interactive Easter card that is as fun on the inside as on the outside! I simply love the pop up elements for creating scene cards on the insides! Let's get started...
Images from the Chirpy Chirp Chirp Stamp Set were stamped with Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink for both the front and inside of the card. Some of the images have solid images that work with the outline stamps and for those I used Lawn Fawn Bubblegum, Carrot, Sunflower, Mermaid, and Fresh Lavender Inks to stamp the images. The images were die cut with the coordinating Chirpy Chirp Chirp Dies. I assembled the scene for the front of the card as shown.

The large greeting from the His Love Stamp Set was stamped on watercolor cardstock using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I die cut the panel with the frame from the Madison Avenue Die Collection and then Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold Distress Inks were applied over the top for embossed resist. I sprayed water from a Distress Sprayer over the surface and blotted dry with a paper towel, being sure to buff any excess ink off the embossed areas.
An additional greeting from the His Love Stamp Set was stamped on black cardstock using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder and cut into a small, thin strip and adhered under the large greeting.
Additional watercoloring to parts of the large greeting (the flourishes) and some Nuvo Ripened Pumpkin Crystal Drops were adhered to the background to finish the design.
The frame and inside panel were attached to a side fold card base, with a couple of additional die cut layers under the frame to pop it up a bit.

On the background, I stamped two phrases from the Out of This World Stamp Set using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. From the background panel, I die cut a Slide On Over Circles Die to create the slider track. The track piece was secured to a white side fold card base, foam adhesive was applied to the back of the circle and rest of the background. The slider element was assembled and placed in the track.
The planets and astronaut were secured to the card as shown and embellished with Glossy Accents. Nuvo Crystal Drops in Silver Moondust finish the front of the card.
An additional greeting from the Out of This World Stamp Set was stamped on the inside of the card with black ink.
The Fancy Box Die was die cut from Storm Cloud Cardstock. One of the label shapes was die cut from the top panel of the box for a see-thru window. Images from the Out of This World Stamp Set were stamped all over the box using Versamark Ink for a tone on tone look. The whole box was splattered with Picket Fence, Brushed Pewter, and Black Soot Distress Paints and set aside to dry.
The see-thru window opening was backed with a trimmed piece of transparency and then the box assembled and filled with goodies.
The box was finished with a die cut star tag from the Tiny Tag Die Collection. The layered tags were created from vellum and smooth white cardstock. Greetings were stamped on the vellum star tag using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. A rocket and flame from the Out of This World Stamp Set were stamped on a smooth white cardstock star tag and colored with Copic Markers. The tags were secured to the box with some twine.

Hello! Today the Mama Elephant Design Team is showcasing the brand new Lil Painters Stamp Set and coordinating dies. I used some of my favorite chick images from the adorable stamps et to create decorative "picks" that can be tucked into this adorable die cut Cute Basket. For a card showcasing almost every image from the Lil Painters Stamp Set, click HERE. These die cut Cute Baskets are perfect for adding little treats or gifts for Easter!
To create the basket, I die cut the elements from Lawn Fawn Mermaid Cardstock and smooth white cardstock using the Cute Basket die. To secure the handles to the basket, all is needed is a couple of brads! I dug into my stash and found two cute white button brads.
I stamped several images from the Lil Painters Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock using Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink and colored in the images with Copic Markers. The images were die cut with the coordinating dies. I die cut the shapes again to "back" each of the picks. I sandwiched a toothpick between the shapes and secured with hot glue.
I tucked grass inside the basket, added some eggs and then stuck the Easter picks into the grass.
To finish the basket, I die cut a tag from smooth white cardstock using a Mini Tags Die and stamped a greeting on the tag with a Mini Messages Stamp.
