Tuesday with Toni: Waffle Flower Rejoice Rabbit

Hello, everyone. I hope you're holding up as well as you can during this difficult time. I know my usual routine is completely thrown off by everything going on but I'm still taking enjoyment in crafting, which has been a mental lifesaver.

Today's cards use the Waffle Flower Rejoice Rabbit set. It's an Easter set but can be used for other things as well like I did here.

My first card is really simple with the main image stamped in Versafine Onyx Black then colored with Zig Real Brush Watercolor Markers. I stamped the sentiment in Versafine too.

For the second card I watercolored it as well but then placed it on top of a panel diecut from Lawn Fawn Dandy Day 6x6 paper and the Sunny Studio Eyelet Lace Frilly Frame. So so sweet!

I'll see you next week! If you'd like to check out my other creations, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Friday with Amy: Dandy Day | Lawn Fawn

Hello and Happy Friday! It's Amy here with a fun card featuring Lawn Fawn:

Spring Critter Huggers

Backdrop Meadow (Portrait)

Swan Soiree Lawn Cuts

Simple Wavy Banner

I'm new to the Huggers and dang, I've been missing out on some serious cuteness! That Spring Critter - Duck is way too cute. My boy was particularly attached to a stuffed duck when he was younger. We ended up with various sizes of the same looking duck, I'm pretty sure they're still in his closet even though he lives in New York now.

Do you see what I did?! YES, a Starbucks card fits perfectly into her hug. I was all smiles when I figured that out.

I've been smitten with the Backdrop Meadow! Love it for the versatility. It's so fun to tuck things into the grassy slopes.

The heart is from Swan Soiree.

The speech Bubble and various bugs are from A Bug Deal.

The mice and sentiment are from Dandy Day. The sentiment, which is also from Dandy Day has been stamped on a Simple Wavy Banner.

The copic colors I used:

R20 | R21 | R22

YG23 | YG25

E42 | E43

C0 | C2 | C3

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Tuesday with Toni: Mama Elephant Zodiac Snake

Hello, everyone! Today I'm sharing two cards using the sssssuper fun Mama Elephant Zodiac Snake set. Who knew snakes could be cute!!!!

I started the first card by using both of the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Hearts Stencils with Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers, Worn Lipstick and Mustard Seed. Such a happy background!

I stamped the Mama Elephant Zodiac Snake sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black onto a Lawn Fawn Wavy Banner which I then adhered on top of a strip of Sunny Studio Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper.

I watercolored the snakes using Zigs. The bold bubble sentiments are from the Mama Elephant Stackable Cuties set, again using Versafine Onyx Black.

A few Pretty Pink Posh clear sequins and Doodlebug Design Tiny Heart Sprinkles completed the design.

For my second card I used a sprinkle of Lindy's Magicals (shimmer watercolor powder) and spritzed lightly with water. Once dry I stamped the Mama Elephant Zodiac Snake sentiment (notice I added the sssss's to the beginning too!) with Versafine Onyx Black.

The HUGSSS comes from the Mama Elephant Tri-Window Cover die. Just so cute!!!!

I hope you have a great rest of your week!
