Welcome to week forty-seven of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Soft Sea Foam, a very soft green from the subtles family.
I had so much fun playing with the Easter Bunny Stamp set last week I’ve used again to make some baby cards I was asked to make for a baby girl called Charlotte and a baby boy called Morgan.
For Morgan’s card the bunny was coloured in using Crumb Cake light and dark Stampin’ Blends with light Petal Pink for his ears, nose and tummy.
I created a nesting barrel for the rabbit by using the largest of the stretched hexagon shape Nested Essentials Dies. The timber Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper was embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder before die cutting with the Nested Essentials Dies.
Cut the die piece in half – you will now have two trapezoids. Then run through the Bigshot with the die on a side angle to create the barrel shape with a stitched edge that is the correct height fopr the bunny. Just be sure to only die cut the top edge of the barrel – don’t run the entire die through the Bigshot.
The grass on Morgan’s card was coloured using Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends.
His name was die cut from Basic White card stock using the online exclusive Mini Alphabet Dies, also coloured using Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends.
Charlotte’s card is a horizontal card (to fit the letters of her name on the card front) and it uses a mix of Bubble Bath and Soft Sea Foam.
I’ve added a few of the smallest Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the centre of the flowers for some added sparkle.
Both cards feature a twine bow as well as DSP layers with the Subtles 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper. This DSP, along with the retiring Easter Bunny Stamp Set and Easter Bunny punch, are all retiring soon.
I’ve added leftover strips of the DSP to the back of the envelope flaps.
And both cards have been stamped on the inside with two of the sentiments from the Charming Sentiments stamp set.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan. I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!

Oh my gosh, tweo totally adorable baby cards, Cathy, using this cute stamp set. I love personalising cards, and you have done a magnificent job with the names and the softest colouring choices.
So gorgeous! A great way to use a seasonal image for year round events. Very pretty as well.
Two oh so cute baby cards Cathy. I love your combination of layering, colouring the bunnies and grass/flowers and the lettering of baby names. Each card seems perfect for each baby. Gorgeous cards. xxx
Such beautiful cards, Cath. I am particularly taken with little Morgan’s card, and all the special details you incorporated. Great idea, to create the barrel … and I like that you die-cut his name from Basic White card, then subtly coloured it to tone in with the rest of your card.
Oh my goodness, how adorable! Super adorable! Both cards are so sweetly perfect for a new baby.
Gorgeous cards Cathy, the bunny looks so sweet on baby cards. The names make them extra special.
Those are such cute baby cards and I love the way you’ve personalised them Cathy.
