Bunny Rosette Easter Embellishment

Used the KS Crafts Egg Rosette die set from their Jan 2026 release for these Easter embellishments:

Stash or cash - the KS Crafts Egg Rosette die set was the last die set I had bought from their Jan release. This egg rosette I made is the small one and it measures approx 3" high x 2 3/4" wide. For all my rosettes I used plaid printed card stock from the stash. Here is the die set:

I cut the two pieces and folded the rosette and used tear n tape to put the two strips together. I used hot glue to form the egg rosette:

As with all the rosettes I make I use my little tool I put together so I do not burn myself touching the hot glue - this is a sponge handle that I attached a circle from a brown craft mat to the bottom using E6000 adhesive and once I add the hot glue and press down the rosette into the glue I use the tool I made to press it all together and hold it until the hot glue cools:

With all the rosettes cut out, attached and formed, I then wanted to use sparkle tulle on the rosette. I used the KS Craft Eggs die set I just used for my Eggs and Ovals Easter card and I used one of the dies to trace the shape onto scrap white card stock and cut that out with scissors for a pattern piece so I could cut out the tulle to the egg shape. Here is the pattern pieces I cut out and I will keep with the die set for use again:

With the rosettes formed I hot glue two pieces of the sparkle tulle to the front of the rosettes and this will be behind the bunny. For the bunny I used a die set from the stash:

I cut all the bunnies out of white card stock, ears, nose, and cheeks were cut out of scrap pink card stocks. Black scraps were used for the eyes. I put all face pieces on bunny and I wanted the bunny to be sturdy so I cut out a second bunny from white card stock to adhere my bunny to. I used liquid glue to put the two bunny pieces together. Here are items I wanted to put on my rosettes:

The flower dies are from the bunny set I used and the carrot is a die from Impression Obsession/IO Stamps. I used all scraps to cut those out and used liquid glue to assemble them. When you make rosettes in any shape the highest part of the rosette is where the hot glue is that joins your pieces together to make the rosette shape. So to assemble this - I formed the rosettes, put the tulle pieces on the front of the rosette. Used liquid glue and put the carrot behind the bunny on the side. Behind the eyes of the bunny I put pop dots to level the bunny off since his body is over the hot glue where the rosette holds together and that is the high point of the rosette. Used hot glue to put the lower body of the bunny onto the rosette.

For the flowers I used liquid glue and put those onto the bunny and then used liquid glue to add the bow and crystal gem to dress the bunny up.... since this is not a circle rosette I want it to keep its' shape well so I used the Eggs die set again and cut out an egg using white card stock to go behind my rosette to make it sturdy:

The back of the rosette before egg backer added:

Used liquid glue to add this egg backer piece:

This backer piece will also be good when I attach this embellishment to a project and it also will keep the egg shaped rosette. Easy rosette to assemble and a fun embellishment for Easter:

Can easily add a sentiment strip or use them as is. Happy to also be able to use more card stock scraps on these as well. 

Grid Valentine's Day Card

Here is the grid Valentine's Day card:

Stash or cash --- for this card I used a peach card stock base cut and scored at the top. For the grid card front I used the new PinkFresh "Refined Grid" cover plate die with matching stencils set that I bought in December. Here is a photo of the packaging for the stencils:

These stencils make a few patterns so the set is worth the price but remember you need to use their grid cover plate die with the stencils:

After I had the card stock base ready for the card I decided to use a creamy white card stock for my grid piece rather than a bright white card stock. I die cut out the grid cover plate from my creamy white card stock that was cut a bit larger than the cover plate die. Once that was cut out I stenciled the two hearts stencils onto the grid piece. This cover plate does not cut the grid piece out for your card front. To cut my stenciled grid piece to be used on my card front I used the Spellbinders Precision Layering Basics die set from my stash and cut my grid piece to the size I needed for my card front:

I used liquid glue and put the stenciled grid piece onto the front of the card stock base. For the greeting I used a die set from the stash from Karen Burniston:

I die cut the greeting out of glittered card stock for the card front. I wanted to put the greeting on a piece of vellum so I used a circle die set from Spellbinders from my stash and die cut out a circle. Used liquid glue to put the greeting onto the vellum. Then I added liquid glue behind the words on the greeting circle and put the circle onto the grid card front:

Added flat red hearts gems from the stash to the greeting piece. For the inside of this card I used this older stamp from the stash from Hampton Art (G) from Michaels:

I stamped this using red ink and then I used the stencil set and stenciled two hearts:

Easy card to stencil and put together but remember if you should use this grid die set that you have to trim your grid die piece to the size you want as that cover plate cuts only the grid and not the edges of the grid piece for your card front.

Eggs and Ovals Easter Card

 Here is a photo of my Eggs and Ovals Easter Card I made for Easter:

Stash or cash -- For this card I recently bought a couple of die sets from the KSCrafts January 2026 release for Easter. I bought their Eggs die set which has a deckled edge egg dies as well as the stitched edge egg dies in the same set:

For this card I wanted to use the eggs die set as the base to my card using the largest deckled edge egg die in the die set for that. I cut and scored a piece of yellow card stock at the top and I put the deckled egg die over the top edge of the folded card to be run through the die cutting machine:

Once die cut I removed the egg die and opened the card base to show it was one piece with the die being placed just over the folded edge at the top for die cutting:

Using the second largest deckled egg edge die I cut out a piece of white card stock for the front of my card. Using a smaller stitched egg edge die from the die set I cut out a piece of yellow and white gingham checked card stock and I cut that at so the checks would be on the diagonal. I used liquid glue to put the checked piece onto the white piece and then put these onto the yellow card base. 

Here is the second die I bought from this release:

This is a layering bow die set and there are more bow dies on the back of this but not shown. I used solid and glittered card stock to cut out this bow and I assembled that and put it on the card base using liquid glue. Set this aside. 

For the "eggs and ovals" bunny..... I pulled out the Eggs die set from Spellbinders from my stash and using the third smallest die I cut out my bunny body - I did this twice so I would have an extra piece to put behind him to make him more sturdy:

Once his body was die cut I sponged the edges using gray ink. Using a smaller oval punch I punched out two ovals for his feet. Used another size oval and punch out two ovals for his ears. Used a small circle punch and punched out two pink circles for the pads on his feet. Used an old Marvy heart punch for his nose. Sponged the edges of the feet and ear ovals with gray ink and sponged all pink pieces using a light pink ink. Using a coloured pencil I added pink to his ears and used a light pink marker for the toes on his feet. Using liquid glue I put the pink pads on his feet and added the ears and his feet to the bunny. Used a fine black Sharpie marker for his mouth and his eyes. Once he was all assembled I then put the other oval body behind him using liquid glue and he was done.  Put him on the card front using pop dots for dimension:

For the inside of this card I used an older stamp from the stash from Inky Antics for my sentiment:

I stamped that onto white card stock and used a stitched edge egg die from the die set to cut that out:

This is a free standing card so I was happy about that as I wanted the card to be egg shaped rather than the normal rectangle cards I make. Happy to use the "Eggs and Ovals" bunny again as I had used him on other projects in the past and he is easy to assemble.  I put the bunny on my card front using pop dots for dimension and then added pink crystals from the stash for some sparkle on the card front. 

Easter Basket Card

 Stash or cash?  I made this Easter card using all items in the stash and saved my cash....

Recently reorganized the whole craft room and must say this new arrangement is making things so much easier to find products I have on hand..... For this card I used pink card stock as the base cut and scored at the top. I wanted a background that would compliment the basket with eggs so I looked through my cover plate dies and found the "Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace" die set from Sunny Studios:

This die set can be used as I used it for this card giving you a background eyelet piece. But with it being a two piece die set you can also cut out the solid piece without the eyelet die insert and it gives you a solid background scalloped piece:

I die cut the eyelet background piece out and used liquid glue to put that onto the pink card stock base front. Set this aside. For the basket I used the Easter Basket die set from Divinity Designs:

I die cut the basket/handle pieces using a lighter kraft card stock and I used a darker kraft card stock for the woven pieces across the front of the basket. Once the basket was assembled I used a brown ink and I sponged the edges of the basket and handle pieces. Looked through my Easter dies and I found the "Mini Eggs Die" die set from Waffle Flower for my eggs:

This die set cuts out four eggs at a time so I have eggs for this basket and others or other projects from just one pass through the die cutting machine using different coloured card stocks... I also used the Divinity Designs "Grass Lawn" die set for my grass for my basket. Once the eggs were cut out I sponged the edges of those. The grass die cuts a long enough piece that I could cut that in half and put the two pieces of grass in the basket to make the grass look fuller. I stacked the eggs behind the grasses in the basket. 

For the sentiment on the front of the basket I used the Pretty Pink Posh "Sentiment Strips - Easter Stamp Set" and I stamped the sentiment on scrap white card stock in pink and used a Divinity Design sentiment banner die set to cut that out:

For the pink glittered card stock bow I cut out a bow from this older bow die set:

The above photo shows the bow die set I used as well as and older sentiment stamp from Whipper Snapper Designs that I stamped for the inside of the card:

I used a small oval Marvy punch and punched out mini eggs for the inside of the card using the same card stocks I used for the larger eggs in the basket on the card front. Again I sponged the edges of the mini eggs.  Happy to use all items from the craft room stash -- or the 'warehouse' as DH calls it.....

Road trip to Ikea - - -

Drove the 3 hour trip to Charlotte last week to make a trip to Ikea. Since we were going to Charlotte anyways I made a stop at the recycle craft store there, Upcycle Arts.  As with any of these recycle crafts store their donations are their stock and each time you visit you never know what you will find. This trip I was happy to pick up the LawnFawn Shutter Card die set. It was marked $38.00 which is the price it sells for on the LawnFawn web site but I paid $3.00:

I also picked up some orange card stock for Halloween projects and some other card stock. Spent less than $10.00 but happy I made the stop for the shutter card die set alone..... Here is a card I made using this die set:

Closed with the belly band:

Belly band off and card is partly opened revealing the tiny stamped heart in the sentiment window:

Open all the way:

Not having used this die set before I watched a couple of videos on YouTube for tips, tricks, and assembly. This is a very easy die set to put together but I did find out that LawnFawn offers an add-on die set for their Shutter Card die set. This add-on set has the die piece that on my card is the black and white hearts card stock with the circle window cut out in the center. But having only spent the $3.00 for this die set I did not want to spend more for the add-on die set and then shipping on top of that so all I did was measure how wide and long I would need to cut my center piece for the window and then be done with that. If you buy both sets from LawnFawn it is approx $53.00 but Pink&Main also have a shutter die set and their total set includes everything and that is approx $28.00 for theirs. 

For my card base, shutter pieces, belly band I used black card stock. For the front and inside red panels I used card stock from the stash. Also the black and white hearts card stock is from the stash. For the sentiment I used the old MFT Lollipop Additional Love add-on stamp in my stash for their lollipop die set:

I stamped the circle "Happy Valentine's Day" in black ink on white card stock and used the small heart in the stamp set and stamped that in the center of the circle using red ink. Set that aside to dry. I wanted the shutter window over the sentiment to have a 'lens' so I used a clear window sheet behind the die cut circle in the center of my black and white hearts piece:

Such an easy die set to work with for this shutter card. Belly band is also the black card stock and I die cut that out with the die in the set for that. For my red glittered heart I used a heart die from the stash from Divinity Designs (Our Daily Bread):

To cut this heart out I used a scrap piece of red card stock and cut out a heart and then cut out the same heart die from glittered foam sheets from my stash. Put the foam heart and card stock heart together using liquid glue. The card stock will help the foam heart keep it's shape:

This shutter card closed measures 4 7/8" high by 3 1/2" wide. OPEN it measures 4 7/8" high by 7" when it is open and flat. Fun die set to work with and happy I picked it up to add to my stash and that it was so cheap!
