Welcome Easter Bunny on Peacock Foil

This Welcome Easter Bunny on Peacock Foil Paper is one of those cards for which I didn’t really have a design in mind until I made it but I knew what kind of paper I wanted to use. After it all came together I really loved it! I think I will make some more cards just like this one to send for Easter. And Easter isn’t far off!

I was seeing the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper being used on some cards and it jogged my memory about having that paper! I have barely used it even though it is beautiful paper! I think products in the Annual Catalog get forgotten sometimes when we are mostly looking at the Mini Catalogs!

One of the coordinating colors with the Noble Peacock paper is Old Olive so I chose that for my card base. Then I just adhered the designer paper on the card base.

The bunny is from the Welcome Easter Stamp Set and is stamped in Memento Ink. Then I colored him with my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and a little bit of Flirty Flamingo for his ears, nose, and bottom of his feet. I even drew in some sprigs of grass with Old Olive.

The bunny was die cut with one of my favorite dies of all time, the Stitched Shapes Dies. Then in deciding what color and size scalloped circle to use as a layer under the bunny, I die cut one in Petal Pink Cardstock and one in White Glimmer Paper. As I layered them to see what size I wanted, I saw that both layers looked good together! I love the little bit of pink around the edge and the pretty glimmer paper bringing another texture.

Since I had just received some back-ordered ribbon, the Petal Pink 1/4″Metallic Edge Ribbon, I used that underneath the bunny and popped it all up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting was stamped on a narrow scrap I had of Whisper White and I just cut the flagged ends.

Such a simple card, fun to make, and beautiful! Here is a similar card but with a monochromatic design for Easter. Try your hand at either one of these cards and send them out for Easter or just for spring or to say hello. If you have it, dig in your stash for the fancy-looking Noble Foil Paper to make this Welcome Easter Bunny on Peacock Foil Paper.

Noble Peacock Daisy Thank You Card

I thought it was time to try out my new Noble Peacock fancy paper so here is the Noble Peacock Daisy Thank You Card that came of that idea! Sometimes I just choose some paper I want to use and then see what ideas I come up with.

I had ordered this Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper recently so this is my first card trying it out. This jewel-toned paper has foil accents and is a little more heavyweight than other designer papers. It is really pretty and elegant. You will make gorgeous cards and other projects with this paper! You can also purchase the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets to go along with this paper. Keep in mind you can use this paper for your projects even if you do not own the Royal Peacock Stamp Set. But it does all go together if that is what you want.

This paper has three coordinating colors – Blueberry Bushel, Pretty Peacock, and Old Olive. I chose the Old Olive pattern for this card so I started with an Old Olive base. It opens at the top so cut the cardstock in half lengthwise and then fold. I decided to die cut a hole in both the Old Olive Cardstock and the Noble Peacock Specialty Paper in order to place the punched daisy on the inside of the card.

Noble Peacock Daisy Thank You Card Inside

The daisy from Daisy Delight is stamped in Crushed Curry Ink and punched out with the Daisy Punch. You can punch just one daisy but I usually stamp and punch two daisies to make the flower look fuller.

Choose the size of the Layering Circles Dies that you want to use. This one was a tight fit but if I used a larger one I thought it would look too big on the card. I first die cut the circle on the specialty paper, then placed it where I wanted it on the Old Olive Cardstock and lightly drew a circle with a pencil around the inside. Then I knew where to place the die on the front of the cardstock. I’m not sure the die would cut through both the paper and the cardstock at the same time although that is the easiest way to do it.

The greeting is stamped in Old Olive Ink from the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and die cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Luckily the “Thank You” fit in this size die because a larger one would have been too big. In that case, I would have just cut it as a banner without a die.
