I used the Stampin’ Up! stamp called Happy Easter Bunny to create my card for the Stamping and Blogging sketch this week.  Be sure to stop by the other Design Team Member’s Blogs to check out their fantastic creations too!

Here is the Stamping and Blogging SB94 Sketch:

I started by sponging Blushing Bride and Strawberry Slush inks on a panel of the Irresistibly Yours Speciality DSP (Sale-A-Bration item) with Sponge Daubers.  Then I wiped the excess ink off the embossed stripes and adhered the panel to a panel of Strawberry Slush card stock with SNAIL and to a Mossy Meadow card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I inked up the “you make me” sentiment from the So You photopolymer stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink and I stamped it on a strip of Whisper White card stock.  Then I stamped the “HAPPY” sentiment from the So You stamp set in Strawberry Slush ink and again in Blushing Bride ink, slightly off from the first sentiment, on that same panel.  I adhered the sentiment strip to a strip of Strawberry Slush card stock with SNAIL, punched the end with the Hexagon Punch and adhered the sentiment banner to the card front with SNAIL.

I used lots of Post-It Notes to mask the sentiment and egg images on the Happy Easter Bunny stamp, inked it up in StazOn Jet Black ink and stamped it on a Whisper White panel.  I colored the bunny with my Blushing Bride and Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Write Markers, cut it out with an Ovals Collection Framelits Die, adhered it to an Ovals Collection Framelits die cut from Strawberry Slush card stock with SNAIL, then to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I punched flowers with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack punch (I think that my stamping friend Roberta is going to come down and take flower punch away soon…I can’t seem to stop using it!!) from Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush and Mossy Meadow card stocks.  I adhered a Mossy Meadow flower punch to the back of each of the other flower punches with Glue Dots, added a Pearl Basic Jewel to the centers, then adhered them to the card front with Glue Dots.  I tied a bow with Linen Thread through a Mossy Meadow Button from the In Color Accessory Pack (Sale-A-Bration item), then adhered the button to the card front with a Glue Dot.

I had a little leftover strip of the sponged Irresistibly Yours DSP and I adhered that to a Whisper White panel on the inside of the card.
