Ruth's Stamping Escape

Adorable Easter Bunny Punch Art

I had a picture of this cute bunny saved and had been wanting to make him for a long time.  Stamp Camp made me spring into action.  I added the grass, egg and butterfly just because those things go hand in hand with the Easter theme.  I think it turn out really cute. I made a template for the bunny(below).  He's all punches!  The ladies at the Stamp Camp loved this.  What do you think?

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to you all. 

This is one of my favorite cards ever.  I hope you like it too.

Supplies:  Lattice Die, Big Shot, Pearls, Tulip Border embossing folder, Just Believe stamp set (one of my favs), Little Leaves Sizzlit die, those sharp little paper snips to cut the cross from the Lattice. 

 
then the inside... the flowers in the bottom right were an afterthought.  When I do this card again, I'll stamp the white before I layer it on the Perfect Plum.

Have a Happy Easter

 

Easter Card - Stamp Camp

We made a few Easter cards at Stamp Camp.  I'll show you mine tomorrow, on Easter.  I think it's among my top 5 favorite cards of all time.

Here is another Brenda.  Brenda took my Easter card sample and modified it to her taste.  I think she's quite creative and I'll be copying her card in the near future for my personal use.  Thanks for the idea Brenda. You can click on the picture for a closer look.

Supplies used between all 3 versions:  Big Shot, Lattice Die, Little Leaves sizzlit die, Tulip Frame embossing folder, Pearls, Flower Fancy stamp set - pg 100, Easter Blossoms stamp set - Occasions mini catalog.

Check back tomorrow for my Easter card.

 

And here is Joanne's version.  Love it too.

 

 

And here is the other Brenda's version.  Remember, she is brand new to stamping.  I think she's naturally creative, unlike myself.  Great job everyone.

Stamp Camp Projects for March

These are the projects we made at my Stamp Camp this past Saturday. Then we made them all at my team meeting on Saturday night, as none of my team was at my Stamp Camp.  That gives them some ideas to use until the end of April with their customers without having to reinvent the wheel....so to speak.  All were CASEd from here and there and then changed at least a little bit.  I love to print samples out as I see them and modify for me.  I hope you enjoy them.

All samples were made with stamp sets from the current Occassions Mini catalog and the Sale-a-bration Mini Catalog.  SALE-a-bration ends this coming Thursday, March 31st, so now is your last chance to qualify for those FREE items in that cute mini.  See both minis on the left sidebar of this page if you don't have your own copy at home.

I know this bunny idea originally came from Jackie Topa, who is an amazing, creative demo.  Remember the flower from February Stamp Camp, made with the Build a Blossom stamp set and the Blossom Petals Punch?  Well, this bunny card was made with the same stamp set and punch.  Too cute....

 
 
 
 

This idea was so cute, I just had to make it.  See template below.
 

I created the template below to show all components you needed to punch and run through the Big Shot.
 
 

Flower Fancy - I fancy this set

Flower Fancy is one of my favorite stamp sets and yet we do not use it very often.  Why is that? I don't know.  But, I do know that it's on my shelf when I want to use it and that is comforting.  I have a ton of samples with this set and this is one from LC in January.  We'll be making this card on Saturday night, if you're coming to my Stamp Camp.  It uses the FLower Fancy stamp set, Glitter Glass and you'll put your greeting of choice in the oval (left blank here).  This is 2-step stampin', which is great.  You stamp the outline and then step a 2nd time with the 'filler' to complete the look.  Stampin' Up! has so many wonderful 2-step stampin' sets and they are so easy and fast when you want a card in a snap.  Hope you like it.  I think this would make a great Easter card...just brighten up the colors a bit.  The Shimmery White Cardstock makes it extra special.
