Easter Bunny Card #3

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

Rain is in the forecast again this afternoon....good day for house cleaning, I suppose! 
I have a busy week coming up or I would probably wait until another day to do it. I worked yesterday for several hours on Audrey's card order while Shawn went fishing. I still have 5
 special birthday cards to make this week and I can get this order delivered to her...as long as she does not keep adding to it! LOL

Today I have the 3rd Easter Bunny card to share that I made with that pretty Country Gingham DSP. I really love this paper pack! I just received a 2nd pack of it from my upline's upline as a gift for meeting a goal! You will probably be seeing lots more of this paper in the future!




What do you think of the Mint Macaron bunny?
I think he's cute but I still love the Balmy Blue bunny best.

Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny
Ink: Mint Macaron
Cardstock: Mint Macaron, Basic White, Country Gingham DSP
Accessories: Easter Bunny Punch, Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, White Twine, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

That's all for me today!

Easter Bunny Set

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!!

Another rainy day is on tap here in PA. 
Yesterday we had rain, thunder, sunshine and warm temps! It's definitely feeling like spring!
I'm up to my neck in making cards for Audrey but I wanted to share with you a fun set of Easter Bunny cards that I whipped up on Wednesday afternoon...






I used some Enjoy The Journey DSP that was a SaleABRation offering in February.
These colors reminded me of spring.
This is a picture of the measurements I used for these...


I cut 3 pieces of DSP at one time and then lay my DSP out and shuffle up the pieces. Each card is different. I also used those new Radiating Stitches Dies! LOVE THEM!

Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny
Ink: Polished Pink, Mango Melody
Cardstock: Polished Pink, Mango Melody, So Saffron, Basic White, Enjoy The Journey DSP
Accessories: Easter Bunny Punch, Stylish Shapes Dies, Radiating Stitches Dies, Iridescent Rhinestones, White Glittered Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


These were SO much fun to create!
I also made a few more Easter Bunny cards that I will share with you soon!

Happy Anniversary Set

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

A rainy day is on tap here in PA and I hope to make it another stamp day!
All went well yesterday at the dentist. The new crown was a perfect fit and no adjustments were needed. As soon as I got home yesterday Audrey called and gave me a big order which I got started on after lunch.
She requested a pack of Anniversary cards and this is what I made her...






Card Details:

Stamps: Many Mates (retired)
Ink: Blackberry Bliss
Cardstock: Petal Pink, Pool Party, Blackberry Bliss, Basic White, Design A Daydream DSP (Hostess)
Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Radiating Stitches Dies, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Have you noticed those new dies I used on these cards?
Those are the Radiating Stitches Dies that are part of the Online Exclusives.
They diecut so nicely and I love the stitching!
I paired the dies with the Dream A Daydream DSP that is a hostess offering in the 2022-2023 Stampin Up Annual Catalog. It had the perfect colors for spring and it's a huge 12 x 12 paper stack! It will take me forever to use that pack up! LOL

Irresistible Blooms Thank You

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!

Hope your week is going well so far! 
I am off to the dentist first thing this morning to get my permanent crown then home to do some stamping. I am on a mission to get my Easter cards made before the weekend comes or atleast try! 
Today I have another card to share using the Irresistible Blooms bundle again. It's gorgeous! We already know that Pretty Peacock & Lost Lagoon are making their way back into our color spectrum with the new catalog.  I always have lots of retiring In Color stuff. So, since the Hello Irresistible DSP has those 2 colors in it....I dug my inkpads and cardstocks out and breathed new life into those colors...




Card Details:

Stamps: Irresistible Blooms
Ink: Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon
Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party, Basic White, Hello Irresistible DSP
Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Irresistible Blooms Dies, Basics 3D EF, Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon, Frosted Dots, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I added a little Pool Party to the mix of blues to lighten it up some.
The embossing folder used is from the Online Exclusives offerings called Basics 3D EF. It is 3 different folders with deep impressions that are all beautiful.

More Customer Thank You's

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday we had some beautiful sunny weather but that breeze kept it on the cool side. Nonetheless it still felt like spring was in the air! Today it's to be a bit better!
Last Saturday I made my way to my stamp table for a short time and I wanted to get a jump start on some customer Thank You cards. I pulled out a favorite stamp set and got busy!
Two Tone Flora is such a pretty set and I am hoping it will carry over into our new Annual Catalog in May.






Everything on these cards is current except for the Tasteful Textile 3D EF on the Petal Pink panel. It is my absolute favorite embossing folder ever! I love that it adds texture without being the focal point of the card. It retired a year ago but let me say....I still use it all the time! 
The florals & greens on this card are so pretty....I just do not think you could go wrong with it! I pulled the colors for my flowers & greens from the piece of Fancy Flora DSP. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Two Tone Flora, Go To Greetings
Ink: Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Soft Seafoam
Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Basic White, Fancy Flora DSP
Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Two Tone Flora Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, White Glittered Ribbon, Milky Dots (Petal Pink), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These cards remind me of spring and the pretty colors!
I'm looking forward to seeing all those spring flowers that will soon be bloomed!

Another Easter Bunny Card

 Hello & Happy Monday!

It's the first day of spring! Happy Spring, Everyone! 
I'm hopeful that our weather this week will reflect that!
Today I have adorable Easter Bunny card to share with you that I once again used the Easter Bunny stamp set on. 




Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny
Ink: Memento Black, Coastal Cabana, Stampin Blends-Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Balmy Blue, Pool Party
Cardstock: Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Basic White, Dandy Designs DSP (SAB 23)
Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Cane Weave 3D EF, Coastal Cabana Metallic Ribbon (retired), Champagne Rhinestones, Wink of Stella, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card is exactly like the card I posted on Friday but with a different bunny and different colored papers. This stamp set comes with a coordinating punch that I did not use on this card. I fussy cut that row of eggs which I am not a fussy cutter at all but they turned out alright. I added some Wink of Stella to those eggs for a pop of shimmer to finish off my card. Very springy!

Customer Thank You

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

It's the last day of winter and it sure is living up to it!
It's a cold 30 degree morning and the winds are gusty from the north at 30 mph. Enough to put a chill in my old bones! We do have brilliant sunshine but I don't think it's going to help us as far as temps today. That's ok by me since I am going to be inside decorating for Easter. I took down St. Patrick's Day decorations yesterday and got them packed away for another year. And since Easter in 3 weeks from today....I better get my butt in gear and get my bunnies out!
Yesterday I did some stamping but not all day like I wanted too. I played with the new Irresistible Blooms bundle that is an Online Exclusive product. It took awhile for it to grow on me then I purchased it. Stampin Up! has so many floral sets that it overwhelms me at times. I liked this one for the pretty flowers and great sayings! And since I know I am gonna need customer Thank You cards coming in a few weeks....I jumped on the opportunity to create some cards using it...




Card Details:

Stamps: Irresistible Blooms
Ink: Flirty Flamingo
Cardstock: Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Basic White, Hello Irresistible DSP
Accessories: Irresistible Blooms Dies, Seasonal Layers Dies, Basics 3D EF, White Glittered Ribbon, Frosted Dots, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


This one has such pretty springy colors in it that I could not resist using it! I love it!

With Sympathy

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

Miss Bailee is at Doggy Day Spa this morning and I am looking forward to a fun afternoon stamping since Shawn is going away later on. 
Today I have a set of Sympathy cards to show you that I made recently for on my card rack. I like to work ahead while I have no card orders. 






I have so much is retired products that I keep because you just never know what you may need it for! LOL On these cards I definitely left the paper do all the work and they turned out beautifully!

Card Details:

Stamps: Lasting Lily (retired SAB 19)
Ink: Evening Evergreen
Cardstock: Soft Succulent, Basic White, Evening Evergreen, Symbols of Hope DSP (retired)
Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Soft Succulent In Color Jewels (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This was the first time I pulled out this pack of paper since I purchased it almost a year ago! I wish I had purchased the coordinating bundle that was in this suite of products because there are dies that would cut those pretty flowers out of the paper. Isn't that how it always goes?!

Easter Bunny Card

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

It's St. Patrick's Day today! Are you wearing your green? I am! 
No special plans here for the occasion.
Do you have any fun plans for St. Patrick's Day?

I don't have anymore St. Patrick's Day cards to share since I mailed them all out. However, I did get to my stamp table yesterday and made a card to go with my Easter Bunny Box that I shared on my blog yesterday. So here we go...




Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny
Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green
Cardstock: Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink, Basic White, Dandy Designs DSP (SAB 23)
Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Cane Weave 3D EF, Fresh Freesia Ribbon, Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


Since I was sick last week my mojo has left and today I forced myself to create something so I started with the package of Dandy Designs DSP that was a recent SaleABRation offering. I don't have too much left of this paper but still enough to make lots of cards! I emptied my pack and found those 6 little squares that I diecut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. That was the start of my card! Next I found the piece of Petal Pink in my stash that was already embossed with the Cane Weave 3D EF that I have not used much. It is a deep emboss but it has not cracked the cardstock. I cut that piece down to where I wanted it and then layered my diecut squares onto it. Once I found where I wanted those squares I glued them down, one at a time so I got perfect placement. Next I stamped my bunny onto an already diecut Stylish Shapes circle and colored my bunny & carrot. So far I was pleased and hoped I am getting over the loss of my mojo! I had an extra Tailor Made Tag Die laying in my stash so I stamped my sentiment on it with Memento Black. The bow was already made and I could just attach it with a glue dot and stick it on my tag, I added the tag with Dimensionals. Then I added my Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins to my card and attached it all to my Fresh Freesia cardbase. Yes, I was totally happy with it! And to think it all started with those 6 little leftover squares in the pack! 

Now, I hope over the weekend I can get a few more Easter cards created so I have enough to send out! Mojo, please don't fail me now!!!
