You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Stop #8  Susan Lankford at Stamp and Create With Susan. Use the full lineup below to move along from blog to blog so you see all of the new projects.

The Pal's Blog Hop Day is one of my favorite days of the month as it is a joy to see all of the creativity! With  31 blogs…you better get HOPPING….so I thought that this adorable bunny deserves to shine!

Is this little guy the cutest or what…he reminds me of a toddler when they are excited! I LOVE that Stampin' Up comes out with great single stamps! This guy is called Happy Easter Bunny (original…right?)

It simply does not get any cleaner or more simple than this! This little guy stands proud on his own, all I did was use the blendabilities. I LOVE the fact that Stampin' Up! is right on trend and came out with these fabulous markers!

The blendabilites are a dream to use and on this card…I did not do any "blending" as I wanted to show you that these markers can be used "as is". I realize that many of you worry about "how to blend"….(it really easy easy though)

The key factor to the Blendabilites is the fact that you do not see any lines…it is a clean, smooth and polished look!

For the dynamics of this card….easy-peasy…the Oval Framelits, another product I LOVE that StampinUp! has…with the help of my main man, Mr. Big Shot I cut (2) white (largest Oval) and (2) Soft Sky (scalloped).

After doing my coloring, I adhered both white pieces to the Soft Sky ones. To the "inside" oval, I took it to the Stampin Trimmer and scored it at 1/2" and then using the bone folder, I gave it a good burnish in both directions and then added a piece of sticky strip to join the 2 together!

Adding some Stampin' Dimensionals under my adorable little guy….is all that is needed! I told you that it was a SIMPLE card…another thing that is GREAT about this card, especially if you are a busy Mom and stamper – you could go ahead and stamp the image of a bunch of Ovals….grab your blendabilites….and color away while you are at a game….waiting in a parking lot for the kids…( I always love to have something to do)

You know that I need to give my envelope some love, and what better way than to use another Stampin' Up! product that I LOVE….the DSP Designer Series Paper Stack in Subtles – these are total "lifesavers" to me!

The envelope liner Framelit is definitely a product of ours that I LOVE...could not…would not be without it!

I hope that you found this to be a FUN card and one that you will give it a try! With having "single" stamps…it not only makes it affordable, it eliminates "piecing" together many different stamp sets to make a statement – This guy says it all….Happy Easter!

Stampin' Up! makes it so easy for all of us as everything coordinates which makes it a total one stop shopping experience! LOVE THAT!
