Crafting a Bright and Happy Bunny Easter Card: Yippee for Yana
Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back the oh-so-talented and amazing Yana Smakula! (Please note: our dear friend Yana is Ukrainian. To show support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, please see Yana’s post HERE.)
Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says Stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video!
I guess it is time to start making Easter cards! I always like to start early, so today I have an Easter card to share with the Simon Says Stamp Bunny Kisses stamp set. I use one of my go-to grid designs for this simple Spring card. I hope you’ll feel inspired to give this design a try!
Start by stamping 4 of the smaller bunny images in pink, green, teal, and yellow onto white cardstock. I used my mini MISTI and Simon’s Pawsitively Saturated inks in Carnation, Peony, Seafoam, Surf, Sunbeam, Citrine, Celery, and Limelicious.
I didn’t stamp their tails (there is a stamp to do that), as I wanted to keep them white, and I was able to achieve that by using the white of the paper.
If you have pom poms in your stash (these would look fab!) consider adding them to the tail section to create a dimensional and fluffy tail.
I cut the bunnies out using a coordinating die and did a 2×2 grid layout with a sentiment stamped across the bottom – Happy Easter, Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes.
I used foam adhesive to adhere my bunnies onto the white cardstock panel above the sentiment, I love to pop things up on my card! Next, I mounted my white panel onto a Sea Glass cardstock panel cut using a scalloped frame die from the Ornate Borders & Frames set (sometimes those coordinating dies can work beautifully alone, without using the matching stamp). I added that onto a top folding card base (watch my video to see exactly how I did that) and embellished my card with clear droplets.
Love the result and I hope you do too! Have fun stamping!

Java Gift Card Holder: Funny Friday with Art Impressions
Hey there, everyone; it’s Shari Carroll here with you, and today I am showcasing Art Impressions’ super versatile Java Gift Card Holder die set to make this coffee cup! I made mine with fresh colors to coordinate with my chosen gift card.
I’ve used the Rainbow Splash Rising Hearts stencil to spice up the holder by blending ink to create a tone-on-tone look. I’ve also added a little interactive element that you can see in my video below. Enjoy!
