Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am sharing my projects with you from this months One Stamp At A Time (OSAT) Blog Hop. This month our theme is Chick Ewe Out! This is proved to be a super fun theme to play with, and I had a lot of fun creating my two projects for you this month. I used the Welcome Easter Stamp Set from the 2020 January-June Mini Catalog. I also used some "uneggpected" products as well. Plus my card for this months hop has an eggcellent surprise. Here's a look at my projects this month.
Tips & Tricks:
To start I designed my card before I figured out my dimensional project. I started out with a piece of Thick Whisper White Cardstock (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4). I then added a piece of the Dinoroar Designer Series paper; the one with the eggs on it. I then added a super skinny mat of Whisper White and then another mat of Pretty Peacock cardstock on the outside. I then added it the card base. I then added a strip of the Woven Thread Designer series paper to a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock. On top of this I added some of the Pretty Peacock Scalloped Ribbon along this piece before adding it to the card base.
Next I stamped the chick and the sheep from the stamp set and colored them in with my watercolor pencils and used the blender pen to smooth out the color. I then cut out two of the eggs using the egg die from the dino die set. I added a little color around the edges with my Pineapple Punch Blends. I stamped the Sweet Friend sentiment on the front of one of the eggs. I then joined the two eggs with a brad to secure the two pieces together. Add by doing that it allows the egg to do this.
Cute right! Well, I think the 3d project is as cute as the card. I used the purse die from the Dress to Impress Dies and some Pineapple Punch Cardstock to cut out the purse. I then cut out one from the same pattern as the card and cut out along the inside of the stitched lines and trimmed it down just a little from the top so that it would fit on the side of the front. I added a couple of the 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots to look as a closer. Then added the little bunny to the front for a fun unexpected touch.

This Week's Projects:
For my first project tonight I tried to come up with a way to add color to an image without really having to color. So I thought about using another stamp set to fill in the color or using one of the Best Dressed Note Cards.
For my next project I made a regular A2 size card using the bunny from the stamp set. I used the Easter Blessings stamp from Itty Bitty Greetings for the sentiment. I watercolored the main image of this card with ink and a blender pen. I thought it was a fun little card and quick way to add some color. You can go as simple or use as much coloring you would like.
My finial project for the night was this cute little easter box using the sheep image from the Welcome Easter Stamp Set. To color my little Ewe I used stampin' blends in Flirty Flamingo, Gray Granite, and Highland Heather. This is a really easy box to put together and is a quick project to make to fill with Easter Treats.
They have all the products I used and measurements for each project. ***Remember, if you put in an order ($40 minimum before taxes and shipping) by Monday, March 16th, 2020 at midnight, I'll send you all three make and takes for free!

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I have another fun card for you for this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. My card this weeks uses the Fable Friends stamp set. This is just the cutest spring, child, and Easter set. By changing the sentiment it could be for any occasions. Here's a look at my card.
And here's the sketch that inspired my card today. You can click on the sketch image to visit the Paper Craft Crew page and check out what all the other designers came up with.
Tips & Tricks:
I started out by stamping the bunny from the Fable Friends stamp set in tuxedo black ink, because I knew I was going to be doing a little Stampin' Blend coloring. I used Smoky Slate (light & dark), Granny Apple Green (light & dark), and a little Petal Pink (light & dark). I then used the color lifter to soften some of the petal pink in his belly and some of the shadows.
I layered the bunny on a piece of Berry Burst Cardstock and then layered on a piece of Smoky Slate Cardstock. I stamped the Easter Greetings in Granny Apple green on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and layered it the same way berry burst and smoky slate. The smoky slate layer for the sentiment was cut out using the stitched shapes framelits.
I popped the sentiment up using a couple stampin' dimensionals. I used the 2017-2019 In Color Designer Series Paper in Berry Burst as the background. I used a small strip on the inside of the card. To finish off the card I added a few basic rhinestones three of them I colored with Granny Apple Green dark.
