Best Day Ever Bunny

I have found my next new love!  Happy Easter Bunny - Minus the Easter (for now).  When I first spotted this stamp in the 2015 Occasions Catalog, I fell in love with the bunny, but mostly just the bunny.  Don't get me wrong, I like the whole stamp, but the bunny is what I really wanted.

So... (don't panic please) ... I cut the bunny OUT of the stamp!  EEEKKKK!  I know, I heard you all shriek there.  But it's okay, because I have two Happy Easter Bunny stamps.  Does that make it a little better?  ha ha!  The little eggs and sentiment were saved as well and are set apart so I can ink up just what I want, depending on the project.  Pictures at the bottom...

Here is the first card I made with my single bunny.  Isn't he (or she) just adorable?  There are so many cute things to do with it.  My boss, Karen, loves one of my other cards that has the Best. Day. Ever. with Cheerful Critters.  If you missed it, you can see it HERE.

I stamped the bunny first on a post-it note and fussy cut it out to make a mask.  Then I stamped bunny on the card and then put the post-it mask over it so I could stamp the flowers around.  The flowers are from Painted Petals using Wild Wasabi and Calypso Coral.

The "clouds" in the sky are also flowers from Painted Petals stamped with Soft Sky.

If you have a weak stomach when it comes to altering your stamps, you might not want to see the next two pictures.  *wink*  You've been warned...

So, will you give it a try?  If you need another Happy Easter Bunny, you can find it at my store!  Just click any of the pictures below from the "My Stampin Blog" links.  IF you are reading this in an email, you will need to go to my blog to see the pictures.

Happy Sunday!

Thank you for coming by today!

Best. Day. Ever.

Happy Saturday!!!  I'm off to play with Papers, Stamps and Ink with Lorri Heiling and a room full of great gals!  It's going to be a great day!

I made this card earlier this week after our team meeting.  It was the perfect card to make after the great fun we had at our meeting! 

If you've ever thought of joining Stampin' Up!, you should definitely think about joining my team!  We have great fun at our monthly get together and on our facebook page.  Give it some thought and check out the JOIN NOW page on my blog.

On to today's card.

 

 

Recipe: 

• Whisper White - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"
• Bermuda Bay - 4 1/2" x 3 1/2"
• Birthday Bash DSP - 4 5/8" x 3 5/8"

 

• Die Cut Word Bubbles in Whisper White and Bermuda Bay
• Using Night of Navy, stamp BEST. DAY. EVER. on each bubble (for the EVER. stamp, I turned the bubble the other direction so the speech point is facing IN to the center)
• Attach the Bermuda Bay bubble behind the Whisper White and pop them up with Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Easy peasey!  And such a CUTE card.  I can't tell you who this is for, since it's been mailed, but may not have arrived yet... I'll be we'll know in the comments section soon though!

 

Thank you for checking in today.  Hope you have a great one!

Best. Day. Ever. for Cheerful Critters

Ok, my Cheerful Critters just got even cuter when mixed with one of the Sale-a-bration freebies - Best Day Ever stamp set.  I think they are so cute!

Now, I bet you think that BEST. DAY. EVER. is three different stamps, right.... wrong!  It's ONE stamp.  So I had to get creative to use the plan shown below.

I chose to select the Photopolymer set as my freebie for a couple of reasons.

First, it makes lining the stamps up perfectly where I want them.  Second, it makes what I'm about to do a little more bearable, because you can easily "fix" it.

Below is how the stamp comes out of the box.  Don't look too close though, at least not yet.  In the second picture, you'll see what I did.  Take a deep breath before you look if you are squeamish about your stamps.  LOL!

 

Ok, I know I'm going to hear gasping, but just bear with me and don't call the SEMT (Stamp Emergency Medical Transport) Team.

 

Yep, that's right, I used my snips and ever so carefully cut the words apart.  Now you can look closer at the picture above and see where I cut them.  Are you breathing okay yet?  Really, it's okay! 

 



 

Now you can use the words however you want.  All together, spread apart or maybe just use one word somewhere.

 



Thank you for looking in today.  I hope you have your wish list filled out and ready to order!  If you need an Occasions Catalog or Sale-a-bration catalog, just let me know and I'll be happy to send one to you if you don't already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Happy Thursday!
