Eggstra special (for Neat and Tangled)

Hi there!

I'm here and on the NT blog this morning with a card that's a little... eggstra:

I started out by stamping the main bunny-and-egg image from Eggciting 2 times. I kept one intact, but cut the egg away from the bunny for the 2nd. It takes the 2 bunnies to haul this giant egg!

I paper-pieced the egg-wrapper for a different look, stamping the image onto floral patterned paper, trimming out that section, and over-laying it onto the die-cut egg.

The sentiment was borrowed from an older set that I illustrated, Eggstra Special. That egg is definitely a little extra!

For one final touch, I brought in the butterfly and dotted trail line from All The Bunnies.  I love how it connects the sentiment to the large egg.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Everybunny (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

The Neat and Tangled new release has already been teased to you in full (we're doing a smaller release this month!) and all of the new product will be available for sale tomorrow morning. In the meantime, the design team is hosting a bonus day of inspiration! We're showing off more projects using our new goodies.

I couldn't help but color another bear, from All The Bunnies:

I placed him onto a sheet of pink polka dot patterned paper, and flanked him with a bunny on either side.



The sentiment is from another new set this month, Eggciting. I love the size of the bear, and how he fills up the card-front!

I hope you like it! Be sure to check out what the rest of the team crafted for today on the Neat and Tangled blog - click!

All the bunnies (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

Welcome to the second day of this month's Neat and Tangled release week. We will tease you with new products all week long and then they will be available for purchase on Friday morning in the store.

Today, the team is showing off another stamp set that I designed, called All The Bunnies:



I love that big bear with his bunny ears! He's got me completely fooled. ha! I really wanted the images to fill up the entire card-front, so I brought in the huge egg and bunny from yesterday's set, Eggciting, and cut the image so that it looks like the string is really long, in back of the bear.

I couldn't help but add another bunny to round out the right side of the card, and added a butterfly as well.

I hope you like it! Be sure to leave me a comment before you leave - Danielle will choose a winning comment from among the design team's blog posts this week.

How eggciting! (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

Welcome to the first day of this month's Neat and Tangled release week. We will tease you with new products all week long and then they will be available for purchase on Friday morning in the store.

Today, the team is showing off a 3x4 stamp set that I designed, called Eggciting:



The bunny from Eggciting got more egg than he bargained for! The other bunny and butterflies are from a set you'll see more of tomorrow.

I started out with a dusty rose colored patterned paper that has gold flecks covering the top (and before you ask, I have no idea where this came from!) and it set the tone for my pretty and pastel card.

I colored the bunnies in a soft brown using copic markers (E41, E42 and E44) and then added a floral detail to the egg wrapper. I used the sprig image from Magical Day, and added some dots with a black pen. I love how this looks! When illustrating the egg, I purposefully left the egg wrapper plain so that you could add your own creativity to it. There is a small open circle included in the set, to add polka dots to the wrapper, or you could even paper-piece it for a completely different look.
