Hello there! Thank you for stopping by to help celebrate new release from Simon Says Stamp – Best Days! I’ve already shared one card & video tutorial on my blog yesterday – check it out for more inspiration and have a few more cards to share today. I’ve been feeling very inspired with these products – they are just in time for some fun Spring cardmaking.

CARD DETAILS
I wanted to make colorful cards for Easter to give to my family and these products really sparked my creativity. I started working on my cards by stamping all of the parts and pieces. I used Simon’s Barely Beige ink and my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp a background for my card – I love this background stamp, if you’ve seen my previous post & video you know why.
I also stamped a bunch of colorful bunnies – I wanted to have 3 rows of bunnies in 4 colors of ink sitting on my card. I used just the solid stamp for these cards, there is an outline to this shape as well, so that you can have a solid layer of color plus black outline, or you can use just the outline on it’s own if you like.
I picked 4 yummy colors of ink from Simon – Green Apple, I love this color for Spring, Sunshine – it’s my favorite vibrant yellow, Doll Pink – it’s actually one of my first ink pads and ink colors from Simon, still love this color and Lake Shores – it’s a nice soft blue, I don’t use this color very often, but it’s very beautiful.
Once I stamped all of the bunnies I needed for my card I moved onto stamping florals and greenery. I used images from Bold Flowers set and while this set has lots of big blooms, there are also a lot of smaller images that can easily be used to embellish smaller elements such as these bunnies.
I stamped a branch in same Green Apple ink – this branch look taller than a bunny, but you can cut it apart scissors and have two smaller greenery elements instead of one. Next, I stamped two tiny flower clusters in Sunshine – those go on another branch image from this set, but you can easily use them separately – and the size of these is perfect to dress up my bunnies.
There are also lower centers or maybe those are individual flowers in form of dot clusters – I just stamped those in Doll Pink and Hollyhock – a vibrant pink for the big image and softer pink for the small image.
Both of these stamp sets, the Oh Bunny and Bold Flowers come with coordinating dies and so I used those to cut my images out. I like how the bold blooms set was designed – the dies for flowers come separately from the dies for the stems so you can cut out either image out and not have to cut out the entire flower – meaning both the stem and the bloom. So that offers more versatility – and that’s exactly what I took advantage of here.
I adhered my stamped reverse polka dot background onto an A2 side folding card base – I love the look of this background, it’s just so subtle. I used foam adhesive squares from Scrapbook Adhesives in small and large sizes and I started to foam mount my bunnies in place – one by one. I also used 2 mini action wobble springs for my card, I wanted to make this card interactive, so I used wobblers to adhere two of the bunnies.
Even though these mini wobblers are mini, they were still a bit too big for the size of the bunny, so I used my scissors and trimmed them slightly. I also later added additional elements onto those bunnies that had the wobbler under them to make sure you couldn’t see the wobble spring.
I went with Hello Bunny and Happy Easter sentiments for my cards and white heat embossed those onto black cardstock.
