Hi Friends and Happy Tuesday! I don’t know about you but I am SO ready for Winter to end and Spring to begin and even though there is still snow on the ground it’s Springtime in the craft room with the new Taylored Expressions Easter Release. Today, I’m sharing several projects using the Spring Squad Die & Clear Stamp Combo, Oh Hoppy Day Stencil & New Little Bits Die and the Rays Pierce Cutting Plate. Be sure to scroll through to the bottom to reach the New Release Promo Details.
SPRING SQUAD BUNNY, CHICK and SHEEPY
The Spring Squad is perfect for adding Eggstra-cutness to your springtime project with a little Bunny Hop, Chirping Chick and Sheepy Lull-a-Baas. I cut all the pieces in Sugar Cube cardstock and used Bitty Blenders to add color to each of the critters. The faces and cheeks were stamped using the coordinating clear stamp with Oreo and Cupcake ink. I adhered all the ink blended pieces with liquid adhesive and added a Rainbow gem to each of the Spring Squad Critters bow ties to complete their ensembles.
Bunny Hop Colors: A light brush of Sea Salt around the edges, Strawberry Milkshake for the ears and belly and Sprinkles for the bowtie.
Chirping Chick Colors: Potato Chip, Lemon Meringue & a little bit of Pineapple for the body. Candy Corn & Sweet Potato for the beak, wings, feathers & bowtie.
Sheepy Colors: Lavender Glaze around the edges, Silver Embossed Curls and Strawberry Milkshake bowtie.
To create my layered Easter Basket Tags, I added the Bunny & Chick to Sugar Cube Pierced Tag 2 Die Cuts which I then adhered to Pink & White Embossed & Lemon Meringue/Potato Chip Playful Plaid Stamped Tags. The Happy Easter Sentiment on the bottom of each tag is from the Full Circle-Easter Set. I used a standard hole punch for each tag and added a pink and yellow Tag Reinforcement. I used the Easter Tag Team Stamp Set & Tag Team Die to finish the tags with a Punny Matching Easter Message; Oh Hoppy Day for the Bunny and You are Egg-star special for the Chick.
For my New Little One Mini Slim Card, I added the Sheepy with foam squares to a Silver Embossed Twinkle Twinkle Background that I die-cut using the largest Rectangle Mini Slim Scallop Die. To finish the card, I added the Pink Stitched Rectangle White Embossed Handlettered Baby Sentiment Block to the bottom of the panel.

OH HOPPY DAY & BUNNY TAILS
The Oh Hoppy Day Stencil now has a matching Little Bits-Oh Happy Day! I can’t get over how adorable the Oh Hoppy Day Stenciled and Bunny Die-Cut images look with a cute little pom-pom cotton tail.
For my first card, I used the Oh Hoppy Day Stencil to create the pastel iridescent rainbow bunnies which I die-cut using the left and right Oh Hoppy Day Little Bits die. I used the Oh Hoppy Day Stencil as my alignment guide to add the bunnies in pastel rainbow order (Strawberry Milkshake, Peaches & Cream, Lemon Meringue, Mint Julep, Sprinkles & Lavender Glaze) to a Stitched Rectangle Stacklet which I layered to a purple gingham Stitched Rectangle Stacklet from the Sweet Playful Pattern Paper Pack. I added the pom pom and heart bunnie tails using Matte Multi Medium. To complete the card, I added the “Nobunny butt you” sentiment *giggle* from the Springtime Smiles Stamp Set and adhered the decorated card panel to a Lavender Glaze cardbase.
For my second card, I used the Oh Hoppy Day Stencil to add the pastel rainbow bunnies inside a diagonal stitched square. For extra dimension, I stacked several white cardstock Bunny die cuts and added a pink, yellow and blue gingham bunny die cut from the sweet Playful Pattern Paper Pack. I then adhered the bunny die cuts slightly offset from the pink, yellow and blue stenciled bunnies so a little shadow of color peeks through. I added the Bunny Tails with Matt Multi Medium to the peach, mint and lavender bunnies. To finish the card, I add the Lilac Foiled Happy Easter Reverse Easter Sentiment Strip and a Silver Embossed “There’s NoBUNNY like you” Easter Mini Sentiment Strip.

HELLO SUNSHINE-RAYS PIERCE CUTTING PLATE
I took a little Easter/Springtime detour with the Rays Pierce Cutting Plate. I love to find fun ways to sneak in a little rainbow and Hello Sunshine has to be one of my favorite everyday greetings for cards…so of course…I had to combine the Rays Pierce Cutting plate with a Rainbow Stack & Slide Hello Sunshine Sentiment.
The Hello Sunshine from the Joyful Joyful Stamp set was heat embossed in gold, die cut and adhered to a stack of rainbow Hello Sunshine Die Cut Shadow pieces from the Joyful Joyful Dies. I centered the Rainbow Stack & Slide sentiment to the center of the Rays Pierce Card Panel and added Tiny Diamonds-Bold in yellow and pink for an extra burst of sunshine.
