Excellent Eggs


It's time to start making Easter cards and the Excellent Eggs bundle with the Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper is the perfect match to make this happen. I love that with this bundle you get multiple types and sizes of dies to cut out the stamped eggs or just pretty DSP eggs. And I can't get enough of that adorable little bunny! If you want more tips and tricks, and to see some other cards I made with this set, please watch my Facebook Live below and then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST to join me for more card making fun! Or you can watch me on YouTube--both are at  Stamp with Dr Robin.

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

1. Lemon Lolly cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. Second piece 4 1/8" by 5 3/8"
2. Lighter Than Air DSP--cut 2 of the smaller eggs
3. Basic White cardstock-- 2 pieces 3 3/4" by 5". A third piece 3/4" by 3 1/8" for the sentiment
4. Stamp Sets--Excellent Eggs
5. Ink--Basic Gray and Azure Afternoon
6. Dies--Excellent Eggs
7. Embossing Folder--the Dot one from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (On-Line Exclusive)
8. Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack--small piece of Bubble Bath
9. Blends--L&D Bubble Bath, D Daffodil Delight, L&D Soft Seafoam, Ivory and your Color Lifter
10. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Take Your Pick Tool,  Regular and Mini Dimensionals, Cut and Emboss Machine, Mini Glue Dots.

Fold your card base in half. Run the second piece of Lemon Lolly through your Cut and Emboss Machine inside the Dot Basics 3D Embossing Folder. Attach to your card front--Multipurpose Glue works best for this.

Stamp the large bunny egg on Basic White using Basic Gray ink. Color it in as below. Stamp the little bunny on the same piece of Basic White and color it in using the Light &Dark Bubble Bath. Cut both out using the dies. Cut the 2 smaller egg dies using Lighter Than Air DSP. 


Stamp the sentiment on the 3/4" piece of Basic White using Azure Afternoon ink. Make sure to stamp towards the left side so the bunny will fit on the right. 

On the second piece (inside piece) of Basic White stamp the sentiment in Azure Afternoon and the bunny in Basic Gray and attach to the inside of the card.


Let's finish putting the card together. Attach the 2 smaller eggs using Multipurpose Glue and the stamped egg using Dimensionals. Attach the sentiment using the glue, and the bunny using 1 regular and 1 Mini Dimensional. Tie a knot in the Bubble Bath ribbon, slant cut the ends and attach with a Mini Glue Dot. Enjoy and Happy Easter!

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w

One Horse Open Sleigh Card We have a lot of wonderful things starting 7/6/23 over on Stampin' Up. First up is everyone can now buy several new products that are On-Line Exclusives, including this lovely 6" by 6"  Designer Series Paper called One Horse Open Sleigh. It is made to go with a new horse and sleigh stamp set, but as you can see, it is beautiful on its own. It has lovely wintery scenes on one side and nice small images on the other side. Perfect for holiday cards, but also great for other types of cards. Today I decided to make it in to a birthday card that you can use for a male or female birthday.  Another thing that starts 7/6 is we get a Clearance Rack refresh so check it out for some amazing deals.
