Each month I take the contents from the paper pumpkin kits and make alternative projects. My cards are easy to follow and can be made by both experienced or new paper crafter. You may need just a couple other products to complete them. You can follow along with me using supplies you already have or purchase any products you see me use from my online store. All links are below.


These two cards use both the bunny and chick stamps. Today I will show you how I colored each image with Stampin’ Blend Markers.

Coloring The Stamps – Bunny & Chicks


1- Stamp two Bunnies & two Chicks on Basic White Cardstock in Early Espresso ink.

2- Color the Chicks with Dark Daffodil Delight Blend Marker along the feathers - top of the head and back and the feet & beak. Use the Light Marker for the front - belly section. Use Light Crumb Cake Blend Marker to add shadows, you can add Dark Crumb Cake too just sparingly.


3- I wanted a White Bunny so I used the Light Crumb Cake Blend Marker to add shadows and color the the tail. Use the Dark Crumb Cake to deepen the shadows under the Bunny. Add Light Petal Pink inside the ears, with Dark Petal Pink at the base of the ears & on nose.

4- Fussy cut all images out.



Card #1


1- Cut the Pink Check Pattern to 4” x 5 ¼” and add to the center of the Petal Pink Cardbase.

2- Add the Wreath Die cut to the middle a little above center with dimensionals.


3- Add one Bunny to the left, inside the Wreath with dimensionals.


4- Cut a ½” x 2” section from the Pink Envelope Flap. Stamp the greeting in Early Espresso on the light Crumb Cake side and angle the ends. Add over the Wreath & Bunny with dimensionals.

5- Add three White Dots.




Card #2


1- Cut a 5 ½” section from the leftover Box Template. Separate the Pink from the Green pattern. Emboss the Green Flower Pattern with any embossing folder to cover the score lines (I used the crosshatch pattern from the Basics 3D pack). Add this to the right side of the cardbase.


2- Layer the Daffodil Delight ¼” strip over the area where the cardbase and pattern paper meet.


3- Round the corners of the Lemon Lolly piece. Then stamp your greeting in Early Espresso ink on the top. Wrap around and tie a bow on the left side under the greeting.


4- Add the Bunny to the right below the Twine with dimensionals, and the Chicks to the left with dimensionals.


5- Fussy cut out three Flowers from the leftover Box Template piece. You can use the ones along the edge, just hide the straight side under something. Add them around the images.

6- Add the Lemon Lolly piece to the left on the cardbase with dimensionals.

All Done

1- Secure the holes in the Box Template with a little Tear & Tape on the back (don’t remove the paper backing). Trim off the flaps from the Box Template. From one of the large white sections cut to 2” x 2 3/8”. This will go behind the Daffodils.


2- Cut a 4” section from the Box Template and then separate the two patterns along the fold line. Hide the score lines by embossing each piece with your choice of Embossing Folder. I used the Crosshatch pattern from the Basics 3D Folders Pack.


3- Add the Green Flower Pattern to the cardbase about ¾” from the top and along the right edge. Add the Pink Check Pattern with about ¾” overlap and the left side along the left edge of the cardfront.


4- Create your Daffodils:

Die Cuts – From the Daffodil Delight Cardstock cut three flowers. Use the Dark Daffodil Delight marker to add depth to the flowers. I added it to the top of the trumpet, and a little on the inside of each petal. You can also use the Light maker to blend if you want. Trim the flower from the Stem.


Cut out three flowers from the Garden Green Cardstock. Trim the petals off the flower and add the Daffodil Delight Flower on top at any angle.


Cut out two leaves from Granny Apple Green and separate them in the middle creating a three leaf and two leaf piece. Place one behind each Garden Green Stem.

Add the three finished flowers to the center of the White Cardstock (no dimensionals).


Stamps – Stamp two Daffodil images in Early Espresso ink in the center of the White Cardstock and one on Daffodil Delight Cardstock. Color the flowers in with Light Daffodil Delight Blends (not necessary on the Daffodil Delight Cardstock) & Dark Daffodil Delight marker to add depth to the flowers. I added it to the top and right side of the trumpet, and a little on the inside of each petal.


Color the leaves and stems with Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker (there are no Blends in this color).


Fussy cut out the flower & stems on color cardstock.

Layer the yellow flower on top of the green stems and glue to the center of the White Cardstock.


5- Stamp your greeting on the Dark Purple Banner with the small section on the left.


6- Extend the top of the Banner into the curve on the left so you can tuck the White Cardstock further in, making it look like the ribbon is going behind the paper. Adhere the Banner to the bottom of the Daffodils.

7- Add the Daffodils to the right side of the card with dimensionals.

8- Add 3 White Dots.

All Done
