Hippity Hop with Nichol

Hello! Nichol here today with a bunny congratulations card featuring the Hippity Hop Stamp Set and coordinating dies. This adorable bunch of bunnies is hanging out in the grass holding a congratulations banner. I love that you can customize the banner with the different greetings in the stamp set. These bunnies are just the cutest!

To build the background a piece of smooth white cardstock was inked with Salty Ocean Distress Ink, spritzed with water from a Distress Sprayer and blotted dry. Another piece of smooth white cardstock was die cut with the Grassy Trio Dies and inked with Lucky Clover Distress Ink before being layered and adhered to the "sky background".

The bunnies and banner from the Hippity Hop Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with black ink, colored in with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating Hippity Hop Dies. The bunnies were adhered to the background, some tucked behind the grass layers, some in front for this sweet scene.

Details were added to the bunnies with white and black gel pens. Additional grass was drawn in with Copic Markers.

Hearts from the Hippity Hop Stamp Set were stamped directly on the sky background with black ink and colored in with red Copic Markers. The hearts were finished with a layer of Glossy Accents.

Dragon Wishes with Laura

Hi there! Laura here and today I have a project to share with you featuring the adorable Dragon Wishes stamp set along with the Kingdom Trio-Creative Cuts.

Mama Elephant-Dragon Wishes 
 To begin I die cut three panels with the Kingdom Trio-Creative Cuts and blended each of those with distress inks. Then I blended the card base to give it a soft sky background. I also flicked the blended background with water.

I colored the images from Dragon Wishes with Copics and die cut them using the coordinating Dragon Wishes-Creative Cuts. I added a sentiment from Dragon Wishes

That's all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Me and My Dragon with Vera

Hi there! Vera here and today I have a project to share with you featuring the super adorable Me and My Dragon and Kingdom Trio Creative Cuts.


I stamped the images on watercolor paper and colored with Gansai Tambi watercolor paint. For the background, I die cut the mountain and the ground from Kingdom Trio - Creative Cuts as stencil and blended with dye ink pad. The clouds are from On the Hill - Creative Cuts.


I  added a mountain die cut and  popped it up with foam tape.

For the sentiment I used  Dragon Wishes.


Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope this inspired you to create beautiful projects! Happy crafting!
