Welcome to the Pals March 2018 Blog Hop. Our theme this month is “Spring has Sprung.” The Stampin’ Pretty Pals will inspire you with Spring or Spring-related projects. You may see floral, Easter or other general Spring-inspired designs. You may be just starting or hopped over from another Pal. In either case you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.
MY STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Today’s project starts with the adorable Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Narrow Note Cards & Envelopes (20 of each). The pre-cut and pre-scored cards measure 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2. The envelopes are 1/4″ larger in each direction. Love the round flap!
Wrap Love Mini Tinsel Trim around a 2 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ of Whisper White card stock and tie in a bow. Adhere to the note card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Stamparatus stamp positioning tool (available to order June 1, 2018) to 3-step stamp the bunny from Sweet Little Something Photopolymer Stamp Set. Learn more about the Stamparatus and watch video demonstrations here.
Create a black and white photo look! Start with the lightest detail bunny stamp image (top left below). Stamp in Basic Gray Archival Ink. The “middle” layer (bottom right) is stamped in Smoky Slate and the final layer (most solid, bottom left) is also Smoky Slate but “stamped off” once. I’ll share a video tomorrow with how easy it is to 2, 3 or even 4-step stamp with the Stamparatus.
I cropped the bunny layer to 2″ x 3″ as shown and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp “Happy Easter” (Sweet Little Something) with Rich Razzleberry Ink on Sweet Sugarplum card stock. Crop with the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, a heart die from Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies and the Magnetic Platform (to keep the die in place).
Crop an additional heart with the Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies in Rich Razzleberry card stock. Add two Glitter Enamel Dots for personality and bling! Adhere smaller heart to the Happy Easter heart and larger heart to the bunny (as shown) with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Instant envelope liner! I cropped a Rich Razzleberry pattern from Tutti Frutti 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper with the Stampin’ Up! 2 1/4″ Circle Punch. Adhere to the inside of the round envelope flap!

Adorable Easter card. I love the colours you chose!
Sweet Sugarplum and Rich Razzleberry complement each other beautifully. Thanks, Nikki!
love the bunny can hardly wait to purchase
Love the bunny in this classy black and white look. Simply adorable!
Thanks so much, Nina. I think the bunny is a bundle of Easter love!
I love everything about this adorable card, Mary! The bunny is stamped perfectly, and I love the additional elements. <3
The Stamparatus is quickly becoming my paper crafting BFF, BK!
So sweet Mary. It looks so soft and fluffy.
That warms my heart, Rae!
This adorable plush bunny just makes you want to cuddle up with it, so sweet and beautifully detail with all the layers.
I love it for baby cards, it can be done in pink, blue or any soft color.
Thank you for sharing Mary.

This set could work for Easter, baby and even birthday (hip hop hooray)! Thanks for leaving your kindness, Maria.
Oooooh MsMary that’s so sweet , love it ♥️
Hugs Frenchie
Thanks, Frenchie. I know you love a pretty Easter project!
Love your black and white bunny! I’ve been afraid to crop him, but you proved it works!
I feel he looks like he was a “pinned” photo. Thanks, Su!
Darling little Easter card my friend. Your stamped bear looks like he is just going to dance right off that card.
Thanks, Miss Kadie. Your comments make me “dance!”
This is absolutely sweet
I appreciate your sweet sentiments in return, Rachael!
This adorable little bunny is perfect for Easter cards! So cute with the narrow note cards.
Since the bunny didn’t quite fit on the panel, I opted to crop more on the left for a less structured balance. Thanks, Linda.
So stinking cute! The photo look is awesome with that bunny!!! Beautiful card
I initially wasn’t sure about this stamp set but won it during an on-stage event. Having it (and stamping with it) convinced me how sweet it is and fun to use. Thanks, Jennifer!
Love the black and white photo look of the bunny and the pink tinsel trim. So pretty! Have a great week!
The bunny looks equally adorabe with layers of Sweet Sugarplum and Rich Razzleberry . . . but I wanted to go for the “photo” look!
Ditto on Jackie’s comment. SUCH a cute card! (P.S. Please send some spring to Maine…we just got 18″ of snow last night) : )
Thanks, Dawn! It’s 58 degrees but the sun isn’t up in Tucson. Headed to a high of 80. Should be perfect!
This is my favorite card with the bunny stamp that I have seen. I love it all.
The bunny is simply fabulous to stamp and layer (especially with the Stamparatus). Working on a video to share tomorrow!
