Today I have four projects to share.  A layered card and a CAS card using the Poppies digital stamp from SheepSki Designs and a pair of Easter tags using the Kitty Play digital stamp from LeAnn's World 101.

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

Here's a little more about the cards using the Poppies digital stamp from SheepSki Designs.  I started my cards by opening the digital image in Silhouette Studio.  I cropped the large area of "white space" from the image and sized the panel to 3 3/4" wide x 2 1/2" high.

For the layered card, I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, trimmed to size, heat set and coloured with Copic markers.  I printed the digital sentiment (details below) and trimmed to 7" wide x 1" high.  I matted the image and sentiment panels on black cardstock and trimmed to 1/8" with a Perfect Layers Ruler.  I created a 7" x 5" top folding card base from red cardstock, matted the bottom with a 2 1/2" strip of dark green cardstock, adhered the matted sentiment panel to the top of the green panel then adhered the matted image panel in place.

For the CAS card, I created a sentiment (font details below) and added it to the image panel to created a card front.  I printed the panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set and coloured with Copic markers.  I created a 6 3/4" x 4 3/4" card base using heavy smooth white cardstock.  (No, I don't know why it ended up such an odd size, I usually make 5" x 7", 6" square or A5 sized cards, perhaps I was going to mat the panel instead of it being so CAS ... maybe I will do that next time.)

... and of course, I have some more photos to share ...

Here's a little more about the Easter tags using the Kitty Play digital stamp from LeAnn's World 101.  I started my tags by opening the Kitty Play digital stamp from LeAnn's World 101 in Silhouette Studio.  The cute little girl reminded of an Easter Bunny dress-up, so I decided to make Easter tags.  I sized the image to 3" high by 2" wide, snipping the little kitty off the side.  I placed the image on an "egg" shape and added a "ribbon hole".  I created the Easter sentiment (font details below) and added it to the egg shaped tag.  I printed the panel on X-Press It blending card, cut with my Silhouette Cameo, heat set and coloured with Copic markers.  The tags are 4" high x 3" wide.  The tags were finished off by threading some pretty knotted ribbon through the end.  I think this is the first time I have ever started preparing for Easter so early.
