Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

I wanted to share with you guys the set of cards I made for Audrey for Easter. She requested 1 pack and 5 more for each of the great grandkids. I will share the great grandkids cards tomorrow. Since she likes her cards simple I decided to use the Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack because it has some very cute punchouts in it. I also pulled out the retired Framed Tulips EF to use with the punchouts.

Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny (sentiment 2023)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Pretty in Pink, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Garden Green, Basic White, Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack

Accessories: Framed Tulips EF (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The ephemera packs that Stampin Up! carries really do make card making so much faster & easier! I am finding that I am using them more & more!

Easter Bunny Cards

 Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope you enjoyed a nice weekend!

We certainly had some wonky weather here....rain all day Saturday then on Sunday we had snow squalls with very gusty winds all day! It was crazy!

Today I am sharing the 2 Easter cards that Audrey requested for her 2 great granddaughters that are still celebrating their year of firsts. This will be their first Easter and she wanted a card for each one. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny, Sentiment was computer generated

Ink: Petal Pink, Fresh Freesia

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Fresh Freesia, Basic White, Dandy Designs DSP (retired SAB 23)

Accessories: Easter Bunny Punch, Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Fresh Freesia Ribbon & In Color Dots (retired), Petal Pink Milky Dots & Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were so fun to make and, of course, the Easter Bunny Punch makes things very easy! 

Audrey was so happy with them! She really loves those 2 great granddaughters! I have yet to see a picture of them! 

Well, today I am off to get some house cleaning done. It has been weeks since i've done much because of not feeling good. Thankfully, that is all behind me and I can get some spring cleaning done!

Ghiradelli Treat Holder

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

This morning I am off to get a haircut and grab a few groceries while we are out. I have everything ready for our Easter dinner tomorrow which will just be the 3 of us since Kelsey is working all day. They are back to having Easter dinner at the restaurant in person but it's by reservation only. The last 3 years it has been take out dinners only with Covid. So glad we are finally moving on from that and life is getting back to normal. 

I said yesterday that I had a cute Easter treat to share today that I made for my gang. This uses the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies which I think might be on the retired list or even being moved to the Online Exclusives list. I will have to check that and let you know. These dies came out in the 2022-2023 Stampin Up Annual Catalog and I used them a handful of times. It is a great die for making a gift card holder or even a cash holder. I thought it would work well to create a small treat holder for my Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Bunny!

And I just had to use that stinkin cute Easter Bunny again!

I just love how cute and easy it is to stamp & punch him out and he works in many different colors, too!

Project Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny

Ink: Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink, Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Fresh Freesia, Coastal Cabana, Balmy Blue, Dandy Designs DSP (retired-SAB 2023)

Accessories: Mini Pocket Envelope Dies, Easter Bunny Punch, Iridescent Rhinestones, White Glittered Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I am going to give these to the kids and add a few bucks to them for their Easter gifts. They can buy what they want with the cash or save it for a rainy day! I am also going to give some to our elderly neighbors and my hairdresser today! Just a little something to sweeten their holiday!

More Easter Bunny Cards

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Yesterday I ended up at the dentist for about 2 hours and before I even left the office my gums were throbbing. By then the numbing medicines had worn off and I just wanted to get home and take some Advil. I was not aloud to eat or drink for the next hour so once I took the Advil it took about an hour for it to kick in. I ate a light lunch & supper because of how sore my gums are. I will return in about 2 1/2 weeks for my permanent crown.

So, today I have another set of Easter Bunny cards to share. I know your probably tired of seeing this sweet little bunny but I had to make a pack for on my card rack incase anyone needed some. These are just so adorable and the colors are perfect for spring time!

Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny 

Ink: Fresh Freesia

Cardstock: Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink, Pale Papaya, Basic White, Dandy Designs DSP (retired SAB 2023)

Accessories: Easter Bunny Punch, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins, Pale Papaya Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

One good thing is....this stamp set & matching punch has carried over into our NEW Stampin Up! Annual Catalog coming in May! It is a favorite of mine, for sure!

***************************************

My thoughts today...

Spring has definitely sprung here! Or maybe even a small taste of summer yesterday with temps here around 83 degrees! It got a bit too humid for Bailee....she was panting away.

Hope your staying cool!

Thanks for stopping by & have a terrific day!

Easter Bunny

 Good Morning & Happy Monday, Friends!

I hope you had a nice weekend!

It was a good one on my end other than my hubby having alittle bit of a cold. I spent most of Sunday reorganizing my stamp stuff and pulling out retiring sets, inks & cardstocks. Preorder is this week for demo's for the 2023-2024 Stampin Up Annual Catalog and I took some time to go thru the PDF of the new catalog and wrote down items for the New In Colors & a few of the new colors coming. I have my eye on one stamp bundle and that it going to be it since we are limited on things to preorder.

The card I am sharing today is made with that cute Easter Bunny stamp set! I just loved that bundle this season and i'm happy to say that it has carried over into the new catalog!

Card Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny

Ink: Coastal Cabana, Fresh Freesia

I got so much accomplished this weekend including addressing all my Easter cards that are mailing out today! YAY! Guess now it's time to move on to making some Mother's Day cards for my friends!

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!

Another Easter Bunny Card

 Hello & Happy Monday!

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.

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!!!
