Easter – Cynthia's Creative Corner

Category: Easter

As we go into a long Easter weekend, I created this simple card to share with you and bring you greetings from our house to yours!

It took two stamp sets, the Honey Bee Bundle(153792) and Fable Friends(148670) for the greeting.

I enjoyed the simplicity of colouring all of those tiny flowers using various colours from our Stampin’ Write Marker collections. Did you know that you can use a darker colour together with a lighter colour to add shading? I tried it with these and like the way it turned out.

In order to play along with the new Freshly Made Sketches layout, I needed a shaped background so pulled out the honeycomb piece that was sitting in my UFP(unfinished projects) envelope! Here’s the sketch I was working with.

Here’s the list of products used.

A TRIO OF BUNNIES

Easter

Comments

There’s lots happening in the Stampin’ Up! world these days along with the approach of Easter weekend. So what better way to highlight one aspect of Easter than this cute trio of bunnies.

The package of Gingham Gala Designer paper was sitting on my table, so I used a strip of the Lemon Lime Twist pattern as a background for that trio of bunnies.

Each bunny was stamped with the Jet Black Stazon ink and then the bows around their necks were coloured with our Stampin’ Write Markers. A few strategically placed Frosted Flower embellishments finished this card off perfectly! The 2019 Occasions Catalogue is still going strong and that’s where you will find the Gingham Gala paper and those pretty embellishments.

Here’s the full list of products used.

SIMPLE EASTER GIFT BAGS

Have you used the Gift Bag Punch Board lately? Well I haven’t so brought it out to create a couple of cute bags for our Easter dinner.

These are just the start – I have 4 more to create but these helped me to remember how to use the punch board. I used a piece of the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series paper that measured 10″ x 5″ to make the small sized bag. Then I cut out the first letter of each child’s name and tied them on with a piece of the Nature’s Twine. Now all I have to do is fill them with some easter treats and they’re good to go!

Here’s a great video of how to use the Gift Bag Punch Board from Stampin’ Up! Make sure to save it so you can use it over and over again!

Here’s the short list of everything I used to create these cute little bags.

Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper [146284] $15.00	Brights 6″ X 6″ (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [146964] $15.00	Coastal Cabana 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [131297] $11.50	Nature’s Twine [146342] $12.25
Paper Snips Scissors [103579] $13.50	Big Shot [143263] $150.00	Large Letters Framelits Dies [141712] $135.00	Gift Bag Punch Board [135862] $27.00
Tear & Tape Adhesive [138995] $9.50	Stampin’ Trimmer [126889] $41.00	Bone Folder [102300] $9.50

Now is the time to stock up on your favourite Designer papers and they will be going away very soon.

Happy Stamping!

BUSHY-TAILED EASTER GREETINGS

Easter is a little later this year but time does fly by so I had fun creating this Easter card with a bushy-tailed little creature bringing greetings!

LOL, isn’t he a cutie? I used Stampin’ Blends to bring out his cuteness and added those tiny Heart Epoxy Droplets to show the love! Of course the Fable Friends Cling stamp set has several cute critters to help send Easter greetings.

TIP: Our Stampin’ Blends are perfect for adding colour to the epoxy embellishments.

The Paper Players posted a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge and I picked the last line in order to play along.

Take care and Happy Stamping to you!

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

Having Cynthia as my upline has been a very pleasant experience for me. She is always available to answer my questions and is very knowledgeable about Stampin’ Up products. I have attended her classes and they are very professional and well organized. I am always excited to share the projects she demonstrates with my customers after attending her classes. She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!

~~~Leona~~~

Cynthia’s classes are set up very thorough and professional. I learn something new at every class and it is always a fun night out. Cynthia gives a lot of inspiration in everything she does and keeps us looking at her blog. Cynthia knows her product very well and keeps us all informed on new products and sales!
