Whimsy Stamps - Easter Bunny and Egg
Hello there I’m back today with a fun easter card made with dies from Whimsy Stamps (WS).
Stretched the Bunny Butt die to create a front-facing bunny sitting among some easter eggs. The butt piece worked for the head, don’t you think?. 😂 The Quick Strips die set was used for the ears and paws. Partial die cutting was done to “shrink” the ovals for the inner pink ear layer. For shading, ink blended with Lost Shadow or Victorian Velvet distress inks (DI).
The easter eggs were die cut from white paper and ink blended with DI in a rainbow colour palette. The stripes were achieved with masking while the spots on the medium size aqua egg were stencilled over the Dotty stencil. “Easter” from Happy Sayings stamp set was white heat embossed on the egg and “happy” was fussy cut out from the coordinating scallop circle die. The lattice background was die cut twice from Bristol to stack for dimension. Assembled the card onto a white card base and drew in the eyes and paws with a black pen to finish.

Whimsy Stamps - Easter Bunnies
Hello every-bunny. 😉 It’s been a hot minute since I posted, but I have a couple of Easter cards to share today featuring the Easter Bunnies stamp set from Whimsy Stamps (WS). First up is a super easy CAS (clean and simple) card using a sketch.
Stamped the image and sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on an A2 size X-Press It paper panel then coloured with Copic Sketch markers. Normally, I would list the markers used, but there were a lot and I don’t remember exactly which ones. 😝
Adhered the panel onto a white card base then “decorated” the eggs with a white gel pen to finish
.
My second card was pretty easy as well. I just stepped it up a bit wit die cuts.
Once again, the image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper and coloured with Copic Sketch markers. Stamped the image again onto NoFuss masking paper and fussy cut out a mask for the image before ink blending Twisted Citron/Evergreen Bough distress inks (DI) for the ground and Tumbled Glass DI for the sky. Die cut out with the Spring Ovals die set.
Die cut the white frame twice from white and once from white woodgrain papers to stack for dimension. The scallop layer was die cut from light plum cardstock.
White heat embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock and cut out with a slanted Quick Strips die. Adhered the negative oval woodgrain panel onto a white card base then assembled the card in top to finish.

Guest Designer for Colorful Options April 2025 Challenge - Pastels
Hello there. I’m delighted to be guest designing at Colorful Options (CO) for their April 2025 challenge PASTELS… or a rainbow is always an alternative option.
Spring is in the Air… at least in the northern hemisphere. 😉 So I decided to do both and created a simple pastel rainbow card using Whimsy Stamps (WS) products.
Thee rainbow and clouds were die cut from Bristol paper then ink blended with distress inks (DI). Tge Pierced and Stitched Circles die set was used for the rainbow.
DI used:
pinks - Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry
yellows + Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber
greens - Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn
blues - Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean
purples - Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet
clouds - Lost Shadow
For some sparkle, the rainbow and clouds were spritz with a clear shimmer spray. It’s a shame the photo doesn’t pick up the pretty shimmer. The sentiment was heat embossed with silver embossing powder on an A2 size Bristol panel. Adhered the rainbow and clouds, then stencilled the Twinkle Clusters with the inks remaining on the detailed brushes to finish.
I want to thank Makira and the CO team for this GD opportunity. WS products used for my card are linked below. Affiliate links are used in this post when possible at no extra cost to you. Thank you for stopping by.
