Easter Blesssings for Just For Fun Rubber Stamps










Good Morning!  Welcome to my newest project for Just for Fun Rubber Stamps.  I am excited to be able to share with you today. 
For my card I decided to create a special card to celebrate Easter . I started with the white card base and then cut a mat of purple card stock.   I attached a piece of white organza ribbon to the purple mat.   I attached the mat to the center of the card front.  I cut two pieces of the black card stock to use as mats for the stamped image and the stamped sentiment.  Set aside until all the stamping coloring are complete.  I cut a piece of white card stock and stamped the Easter Cross (G3582).  I colored the image with Copic markers.  I cut a added the larger black mat to the stamped and colored  image.  I did not center the image into the center of the mat, instead I have matted the image just a little over the left and bottom side of the mat.  I cut another piece of white card stock and then stamped Easter Blessings (B3594).  I added the stamped sentiment to the smaller black mat and then added to the the bottom center of the card front. I added a small white organza bow to the ribbon and added some Stickles to the flowers centers.

Finished Card Size:  8”x 5-3/8”

I stamped several of the HCPC 3500 Open Vintage Floret on purple card stock using Tuxedo Black ink.  I then cut out the flowers using the matching die HCD 727 Vintage Floret and a die cut machine.  I layered the flowers together and then added purple gemstones to the flower centers.  I stamped the butterfly from HCPC 3499 Delicate Asters & Butterflies using Tuxedo Black on white card stock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  I cut out the butterfly using the Les Papillions Spellbinders Die.

Just Hopping By for Just For Fun Stamps



Good Morning.  It's Lisa with my newest project for Just for Fun.  I am so excited to be able to share my creation with you.  This following sketch is the inspiration for my card.

   
I started with the white card base.  I cut a mat of blue and green plaid card stock.  I added three yellow brads to the top right corner to the mat.  I added a piece of blue ribbon to the mat at a diagonal and then  added the mat to card base.  I cut another piece of white card stock and stamped Love U Bunnies (D3386) using Tuxedo Black ink.  I colored the image with Copic markers. I cut out the image with an oval die cut and a die cut machine.   I cut a oval mat for the image out of yellow card stock.  I then cut a second mat of light blue card stock with a scalloped oval die and a die cut machine.  I put all three layers together and added them to the center of the card front using pop dots to adhere.  I added small pearls to the scallops.  I added a small bow to the ribbon just to the left of the stamped image.
