Simon Says Stamp | Oh Hippity Hop. Video and Giveaway (now closed)
Hello all and thank you for joining us as we celebrate the new product release from Simon Says Stamp called Reason to Smile. Yay! This release has stamps, dies, embossing powders, and even includes felt!
I’m sharing a fun Easter card today and squeezing in a bit of creative die cut masking.
Like this project? Remember to pin it and save for later!
CARD DETAILS
I started working on this card by creating hills for my bunny to sit on. I used my favorite Wavy Scalloped Stitches dies and cut two out of white cardstock. Next I made a mask and masked off the scalloped part (I wanted to keep it white) and stamped the Gingham pattern using Willow ink onto the rest of the die cut. This way I was able to create colorful hills with white scalloped borders. I am explaining how to make a mask for the hills on my video, however I admit, I probably over did it, lol! There definitely is an easier was to make a mask.
I also blended a bit of blue High Dive ink onto the card base to create the sky. That helped the scallops from the top hill to stand out a bit better. The bunny was stamped using new Intense Black ink and colored using a few colors of Copic Markers (I used E000, E00 and R20). Easter eggs were stamped in Duckling, Twirling Tutu and Catkin and were die cut using a matching die.
I also die cut two church buildings for this card as I felt I needed to add something to fill in the background. The sentiment, Oh Hippity Hop was stamped in Versa Fine Onyx Black and was foam mounted onto the card. I also added several clear droplets from Pretty Pink Posh as little accents onto my card.
