Egg Shaped Spring Card for Scrapbook.com

I'm so excited to share this card today for Scrapbook.com! They recently sent me some products that I couldn't wait to pair together, including the Nested Egg Dies, the Market Bloom Rabbit Dies and new Spring themed papers - Cottontail and Pastel Glossy Cardstock. Scroll down for creative details on this egg shaped card. My supply list will be at the end of this post, as well.

First, I used the largest nested egg die to create my egg shaped white card. It's important that you use a vertical top scored card for this design.

Just offset the top edge of your egg die by approximately 1/4" above your  vertical card, then run through your die cut machine. I used the Spellbinders Platinum 6.






Here's  a graphic of the egg die sizes.


I also used the largest die to create the top base for my egg card, paired with a gingham pattern from the Cottontails paper pad.








The frame for my card was created using the largest egg die, plus 2 sizes down to the 2.9 x 3.9 inch egg die. I chose a pretty orange glossy cardstock from the Pastel Glossy Cardstock pad. It's so shiny and I love these new glossy papers!




I adore the Market Bloom Rabbit dies, they are the absolute cutest! There are 20 different dies included with this set so you can mix and match all kinds of elements; party hats, crowns, different glasses and facial features.....it's so much fun to create with!

It was super helpful to use my reverse tweezers to handle the various die cuts while gluing all my rabbit elements with Artis glue. If you don't have reverse tweezers, these are an essential staple in my craft room. The set I used is exclusive to Scrapbook.com and is ergonomic which is great if you have arthritic hands.

I also used a variety of different Scrapbook.com paper pads to create the various features, but you can use what's in your stash as well. Here's a breakdown of the colors/papers I chose for the various rabbit elements:

Cottontail Patterned Paper (party hat/green + shirt/lavender)
Sprinkles Smooth Cardstock (party hat and bow tie/dark purple)
Christmas Smooth Cardstock (Glasses/facial features/black)
Vacation Smooth Cardstock (ears/pink)
Daybreak Smooth Cardstock (bunny face/ears/tan)





I also did a little shading around my rabbit's shirt using Catherine Pooler ink in Slate and one of my detailer blender brushes from Scrapbook.com

My sentiment and floral die cuts were created using the Blooming Sentiments Stamp & Die Set. This is a new set that can only be purchased right now with one of the class kits for the upcoming SBCFest.

SBCFest is an annual, free event and will be held on March 14, 2025 beginning at 8 am PST/11 am EST. Laura Graff will be using the Blooming Sentiments set in her class and you can check out her supply list here. It's a huge value, orginally $116.00 but specially priced for SBCFest at $38.99!

If you wish to have this set now, this is an amazing price. I've been told the items will be available for individual purchase some time soon after SBCFest, but the current bundle will be your best deal.






I also jazzed up the inside of my card a bit, using another sentiment from the Blooming Sentiments stamp/die set and one of the small floral stamps.





I also created a coordinating envelope for my card using some older Simple Stories scrapbook paper from my stash and created a sticker using one of the smaller nested egg dies paired with the Cottontail patterned paper.

By the way, did you catch the Livestream deal last Thursday at Scrapbook.com that featured the Cottontail Bundle? You guys went nutso and sold out the Nested Egg Dies included with this bundle in under 48 hours! 

I generally don't like to share cards when products are waiting to be restocked, but obviously, the Nested Egg dies are super hot hot hot right now. If you really want the Cottontail Bundle or the Nested Egg die set, make sure you click the links to be notified when they're back in stock.

It should be soon, because Scrapbook.com doesn't want to leave you empty handed for your Easter and spring cardmaking!




Most of my photos are flat lay designs but I wanted to show you how nicely this egg shaped card stands upright.

My floral blooms and stamped sentiment feature Catherine Pooler Inks (Catching Rays, Sparkling Berry) and were stamped with my Misti stamp positioner. I did use my mint tape for the masking technique on my sentiment.

I also added some Pops of Color in Sunflower for the inside of the word "Bloom".





I know I threw a lot of information at you today, so thank you, if you stuck around for all of it! If you recently ordered some of these products, I hope you enjoy today's inspired card. And, if you're looking to add some of these products to your cardmaking collection, I hope you'll use my affiliate links, provided at no additional cost to you.

It takes many, many hours of creating, photo editing, making reels and blog writing and you have no idea how much I appreciate when you shop or even just click my affiliate links to view products. The few cents per dollar that I receive as commission through the various companies that I'm affiliated with eventually add up. I use these commissions for giveaways on my social media and to invest back into my craft to continue bringing you more inspiration! It also allows the companies to see how their customer base arrives to their site, so it's a win-win all the way around.

I hope Spring is showing itself where you live. Here in the South, the flowers are already blooming and I don't think we're done with Winter just yet. Have a fabulous week, everyone!

Terri

Watercolored Autumn Leaves Card

Hello friends.  Today, I'm sharing another Autumn card, featuring products from Sunny Studio Stamps.  You'll find links to most of the products that I used, at the end of this post.  While you're here, let me mention that Scrapbook.com is celebrating their 20th Anniversary in the craft and hobby industry.  Wow! They're one of my absolute favorite companies that I love to shop with online.  Be sure you check out the deals/coupon section to see what the daily deals are, plus, there's usually a freebie posted as well!  

Before shopping, scroll down for a few creative details on my project.


(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)





As I mentioned, I'm using some brand new products from Sunny Studio Stamps.  Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year and I love making seasonal cards.  




When stamping my leaf images, I used Catherine Pooler ink, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  It gives my stamp a much crisper image and better flow for watercoloring.

The technique I used is to swipe my water based brush marker (Tombow and Marvy are great choices) on my Waffle Flower Water Media Mat, then grabbing the color with a damp waterbrush.  I did stamp my leaves onto Strathmore watercolor paper.  You can use mixed media paper as well.





I usually start with darker colors on the edges and work my way in with the lighter colors.  Be sure and expel a bit of water from your water brush, onto a paper towel before grabbing another color.  You also don't want the colors to absorb into the barrel of the water brush which can muddy up your colors.  If that happens, just unscrew your waterbrush and refill with fresh water.




My sentiment was also inked with Catherine Pooler ink, onto Neenah cardstock.  I popped up the partial heat embossed sentiment onto colored cardstock, using foam tape.  All my adhesives are from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.


Don't miss out on the sale and freebies at Scrapbook.com!  Plus, their shipping is super reasonable...as low as $3.99!  THIS is #myscrapbookcom!
