Hoppity Hoppity Happy Easter with Lila 🐣 ~ Sweet November Stamps

Today I’m sharing a cheerful Easter card featuring the adorable “Lila” from Sweet November Stamps. I couldn’t resist coloring her up with her sweet little basket full of Easter eggs as she enjoys a sunny Spring day!

To build my scene, I paired Lila with the cute little duckies from the “Postage Pals: Hoppy Easter” stamp set. They look like they’re happily waddling along beside her on their own little Easter adventure. The sentiment “Hippity Hoppity Happy Easter” was the perfect finishing touch for this bright and playful card.

This card was created for Craft Roulette Episode #309, and it was so fun incorporating all the challenge parameters:

• Project: Mini Slimline Card

• Colors: Jolly – I used bright, happy spring colors throughout the scene.

• Element: In the Kitchen – Lila’s basket of decorated Easter eggs felt like the perfect nod to all the egg decorating that happens in the kitchen around Easter time!

• Random: Mask(s)/Masking – I used masking to build the little ducky scene around Lila and create a seamless background.

I colored all of the images with Copic Markers and finished the scene with a bright grassy field and soft sky background to really make the characters pop. I love how the playful ducks bring extra movement and charm to the scene.

This sweet little Easter card is ready to hop its way into someone’s mailbox and bring a smile!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Catherine Pooler Designs – A Purr-fect Thank You

Today I’m sharing a fun and colorful thank you card featuring some fabulous products from Catherine Pooler Designs!

For the background, I used the Flirty Blooms Layered Stencil, but instead of layering the entire stencil design, I chose to use just one layer to create this playful pattern. I blended Sweetheart and Mardi Gras inks to form the soft pink and teal background, which gives the card such a bright and happy feel.

To add a little extra sparkle and interest, I splattered Pixie Dust Shimmer over the Sweetheart ink areas only. The shimmer catches the light beautifully and gives the background a subtle magical touch.

Next, I stamped and added the three adorable cats using Mardi Gras ink. I love how their playful poses add personality and movement to the card while keeping the overall design light and fun.

For the sentiment, I used a greeting from the “3 Times the Thanks Sentiment” stamp set. I stamped it onto one of the labels from the “More Sentiment Banner Dies,” which creates the perfect focal point across the card.

This card came together with a simple design, a bit of sparkle, and a trio of sweet kitties to say thanks in the cutest way possible!

You can find all of these supplies over in the Catherine Pooler Designs shop.

Have a great rest of the week!

Egg Hunt Fun ~ Sweet November Stamps

Today I’m sharing a sweet Easter card featuring the adorable “Egg Hunt” stamp set from Sweet November Stamps. This set is packed with Easter cuteness and includes three little girls, three little boys, two bunnies, and lots of fun scene-building elements—perfect for creating cheerful springtime cards.

For my card, I chose two of the little boys as they excitedly gather their colorful Easter eggs. I love how their playful poses bring the whole scene to life! I also added a few of the spring elements from the set along with one of the cute little bunnies to complete the egg hunt setting.

Everything was colored with Copic Markers, which helped create the bright spring grass and soft sky background for these little guys to explore. I kept the design clean and simple so the sweet scene could really shine.

The sentiment “Here comes the Easter Bunny” is also included in the Egg Hunt stamp set and felt like the perfect finishing touch.

This card was extra special because I sent it off to my two nephews for Easter. I thought these two little egg hunters suited them perfectly!

Sweet November Stamps always makes it easy to build charming scenes, and this set is just full of springtime joy.

Have a great weekend!

Petals & Purrs – Thank You Fur Everything

The brand new Petals & Purrs release from Catherine Pooler Designs is packed with adorable critters, cheerful florals, and fun patterns, and today I’m sharing a sweet thank-you card featuring the playful kitties from the Purr-fect Pals Stamp Set.

For this card I stamped three of the adorable kitty images and stamped them using a few of my favorite Catherine Pooler inks — Rockin’ Red, Mardi Gras, and Sweetheart. I love how each kitty has its own fun personality and pattern!

To ground the design, I added a strip of patterned paper from the Totally Bloomin' Patterned Paper Pack along the bottom of the card. The bold floral pattern adds such a cheerful pop of color and ties in perfectly with the playful theme of the card.

One of my favorite little details in the Purr-fect Pals set is the tiny star stamp. I scattered a few of those around the card with Tiara ink to create a fun little background that frames the sentiment and the jumping kitties.

The sentiment “Thank you fur everything” finishes the card perfectly and makes this a great design to send a little appreciation to someone special.

All of the products used on today’s card are part of the new Petals & Purrs release and are available now in the Catherine Pooler Designs shop!

Happy crafting! 🐾✨
