SAMJ Bunnies (& Pumpkin Club April 26!)

4/18/2025

Oo, we have a doozy for you at this round of As You See It #346!  What retired crafting tool would you NEVER let go of??
For me, that tool is the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig!  I even have multiple ones, in case anything happens to one, lol.  I just love this little sucker!  Once I got the knack of how to hold everything, it's the fastest way I know to quickly stamp something in a specific place, or on a little scrap, or whatever, and it works especially awesome on wood-mounted stamps, or red rubber!  They can't all be photopolymer, lol.  To show it off, I did today's tiled bunny layout using my SAMJ and 2010's Chocolate Bunny stamp - a single wood-mount that I can never let go, lol.  Now, don't get me wrong, my Stamp-a-ratus and marker spritzer are firmly clutched in my OTHER hand, but I reach for my SAMJ all the time!
I can't wait to see YOUR answers to this thorny question, lol - meet you at the challenge!

Easter Daffodils

Very pretty!  CAS on Friday #305 is having a Spring challenge!  Yay!
I decided to stamp with my Daffodil Daydream set from 2023 for this one - today is a good day to COLOR!  Plus, it has this beautiful Easter sentiment, also perfect for Spring!  To keep it CAS, I went with white-on-white layers, and add a simple border on one edge from the set - I still love my Stamp-a-ma-Jig, too, lol!  Next I stamped up my chosen flowers on some scrap, and colored them with my Blends.  I added them on dimensionals, and set my sentiment to the left.  I looked a little TOO bare for me still, so I couldn't help adding on 3 tiny yellow sequins, too - shhh!

We have a yummy recipe for you this round at As You See It #341!  Get out that apron!
As soon as I saw the "pastel" ingredient, I knew I wanted to use my Wildflower Birthday DSP, but in a new way!  What about Easter eggs?  Sold!!  I pulled out Last Year's Excellent Eggs bundle and got to work!  I picked out three pretty pastel patterns for diecut eggs, as well as one extra for a background.  I still have a roll of the Pool Party Pom Pom ribbon that I have never used - now's the time, lol.  I heat embossed this pretty Easter sentiment to float over the ribbon, and finished with a few Peach Pie Resin Dots.  So sweet!
I can't wait to see what YOU cook up for our fun challenge, too - meet you at the challenge!

Very nice - Inspire Create Challenge #185 wants to see something clean and simple!
I've been really wanting to use the palm cross arrangement in our new Faith Collection set - this one will be perfect for it!  I started with a simple white-on-white background, and laid down my palms in Mossy Meadow.  I stamped the wood cross and lilies in Black onto some white scrap, and filled in the "wood" with Pecan Pie.  I also added a little Light Daffodil Delight to the center of the lilies.  I used the dies to cut everything out, and popped on my details for some extra dimension.  Since the set is in photopolymer, it was a cinch to add the sentiment to the side!  This is so perfect for an ultra-CAS look!

Storybook Easter

Oo, what a fun windowed layout from Sketch Saturday #767!
This one feels very out of my card-making style to me, but I really wanted to use some of these adorable diecuts that come in the Storybook Moments DSP pack!  I have a hard time using these, mostly because there are never enough of the same image for me to use in a class, lol, but then I got to thinking that I could still use them on my other cards!  I just need to apply myself!  So I set up this sweet gardening background, and picked three images that I though would go along with that theme.  I should have used the "spring" sentiment, but I also haven't used the Easter one yet, so out that came, too!  Such a cutie!  I finished with the antique pearls that go with this suite, but I think they get a little lost, hmmm...

So cute - The Sisterhood of Crafters has a theme of bunnies or chicks this round!
How about one of each??  As soon as I saw this challenge, I knew I wanted to pull out the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin - Sweet Springtime!  Such cute images in this one, and the sweetest Easter sentiment, too.  I even have the add-on dies, The Love of Spring, that has this gorgeous daffodil die in it!  I did all my coloring in Blends markers this time - though I also love to do these with Water Painters - another great look!  And of course, I couldn't resist floating everything over this glorious Gingham Gala DSP sheet in Lemon Lime Twist - my little hoard is dwindling!

Very fun - Shopping Our Stash #518 says that "Spring has sprung!"  I'm on it!
Looking over my retired shelves, I came across my Thanks a Bunch from last year - I am STILL smitten with these carrots, though I'm not too sure what to do with them, lol.  I found some old Pumpkin Pie DSP to use for my background, so I paired it with Lemon Lime Twist for a bright Spring color combo!  I stamped and fussy cut three of the largest carrots, and then popped up the "Spring" sentiment with my still awesome Tasteful Labels dies.  I even snuck in a few Mango Melody Fine Sparkle Gems for a bit of shine!

Very nice - it's time for In{k}spire Me #530's Easter theme challenge!
Since I actually got an Easter set this year, which I don't often do, I knew I wanted to play with that today!  Excellent Eggs has such sweet images, but really, this one is all about the dies for me - we don't have many egg dies!  I decided to lay with heat-embossing the fancy egg images today, I definitely like the look!  Inspired by the pretty pastels in this DSP sheet from the Lighter Than Air pack, I did a Pool Party and a Fresh Freesia egg, with my sentiment on some Lemon Lolly - VERY Easter bonnet, I think!  The Rainbow Dots finished with just the right extra pop of colors!

Fluffiest Easter

We have some delicate pretty colors for you this round at Sunday Stamps #331!
With all those eggs, I couldn't help but think of Easter!  I decided to play with Fluffiest Friends as soon as I spotted that cute little bunny!  Since this set doesn't sentiments, I went with this pretty sentiment in our just-finished Sale-A-Bration set, Heartfelt Hellos!  I decided to keep it all ultra CAS - no layers today!  I did a little strand of background grass from Pear Pizzazz, and stamped my sentiment on Pool Party to float above that.  After coloring in my bunny cutie, I popped him up overlapping the background pieces - so cute!  At the last second, I decided to finish with these subtle Lemon Lolly Dots.  Now I want an Easter cupcake, too!
I can't wait to see your subtle projects for our colors this round - meet you at the challenge!

We have some cute Spring colors for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #433!
It was hard to look at these colors and not see Easter Eggs, right?  I've been wanting to play with the fun dies that go with our Excellent Eggs bundle - so cute!  I found some DSP in each color, and went to work!  I started with base eggs in each color, then took another pattern and played with moving around my scallop die to take different "bites" for accent pieces.  I went in a few directions, and added the zig zag for each egg to get three different cool combos!  I love mixing and matching, lol.
I can't wait to see YOUR fun projects with these Easter colors - meet you at the challenge!
