Bee Happy Card

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

We are in for a stormy day after a beautiful day yesterday! 

We got a bit of yard work in last evening before the rain comes today but I'm sure by the end of the weekend the grass will need mowed again. I worked on the flower bed while Shawn mowed. Got them looking much better after cleaning up all the leaves & tree branches from the neighbors over grown jungle. That's a whole other story in itself.

Today I have a bright, happy card to share made with a variety of things! In the last 2 years I have grown quite the collection of BEE things from different patterned papers and stickers so I thought I would take advantage of them and create some fun things!

Card Details:

Stamps: Reason to Celebrate (retired), Amuse 

Ink: Memento Black, Crushed Curry

Cardstock: Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Basic White, Photoplay Paper (Honeycomb Bees), Echo Park Bee Stickers

Accessories: Hives 3D EF (retired), Black & White Ribbon (retired), Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems (retired), Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I also created a spiral bound notebook with the Bee papers that turned out so cute!

I will share that tomorrow as I forgot to take a picture of it.

Hope you will come back to check it out!

Bunny Treat Totes

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

It's the first day of April! Can you believe that Easter is only a few days away?!

I got a few bags of Easter candies recently and made a few little treat totes for my gang & some friends. These are nothing complicated. Super duper easy and just cute as a button!

Project Details:

Stamps: Easter Basket, Reason to Celebrate

Ink: Memento Black, Balmy Blue, Stampin Blends-Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Peach Pie, Daffodil Delight, Shy Shamrock, Balmy Blue, Pretty in Pink

Cardstock: Balmy Blue, Basic White, Crumb Cake, Shy Shamrock, Daffodil Delight, Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie

Accessories: Easter Basket Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Velcro Tabs, Cello Bags, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I filled each cello bag with a variety of candy that I'm sure everyone will love!

The cello bag just sits inside the tote, it's not glued or adhered and it fits nicely inside. Each tote is held shut with a Velcro Tab. 

They were so much fun to make! I really love this Easter Basket bundle!!

Reason to Celebrate Set

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Just wanted to share a set of St Patrick's Day cards I made for Audrey in her recent order.

Card Details:

Stamps: Reason to Celebrate, Seasonal Celebrations (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Garden Green

Cardstock: Garden Green, Basic White, Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Beautiful Pattern EF (Online Exclusives), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Both of these new sets are so much fun and full of variety!

I kept these as simple as possible for Audrey because she does not like all the rhinestones & ribbons on her cards.

March 2026

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

It's time to flip the page and move on to the next month and share with you my March 2026 page. 

Project Details:

Stamps: Seasonal Celebrations (Online Exclusives), Reason to Celebrate

Ink: Shy Shamrock (In Color)

Cardstock: Shy Shamrock (In Color), Basic White, Pleasant Patterns Specialty DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Shy Shamrock Shimmer Gems (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This DSP comes from the Easter suite in the 2026 Spring Mini Catalog. I'm not sure that I am fond of the texture of it. It's heavy and I find that it wants to curl up. I do however love the prints & patterns! Perfect for those springtime projects!

Valentine's Card & Gift Bag

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Hope your week is going well. We are finally warming up here in PA! YAY! 🎉

The sunshine has been glorious and the snow is melting!

Today I am sharing 2 different Valentine items. First up is a card I made after seeing a video on Facebook. I did not save the video or retain who created it. When I sat down to make this card it was touch & go as I had to figure out the sizes of the DSP and leave enough room for my sentiment. It came together pretty quickly though and I put this in my bin for next year.

If anyone knows who the creator of this card is please let me know so I can give them credit. 

ETA: The creator of this card was Kathy Schmidt. She is one of my Chics team mates. 

Thank you for sharing, Kathy! I loved your card! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Reason to Celebrate

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, Made With Love DSP

Accessories: Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My 2nd project is a decorated gift bag that I made for my friend that requested the Festive Friends Treat Boxes that I shared this past Sunday. I have a stash of gift bags that I keep on hand for all my orders. I love decorating them!

Project Details:

Stamps: Valentine's Day

Ink: Versamark

Cardstock: Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Made With Love DSP

Accessories: Deckled Circles Dies (retired), Loose Valentine's Assortment, Real Red Shimmer Ribbon, White Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

There's no rhyme or reason for the strips of DSP on my bag panel. They were scraps in my package that I pulled out and used up.

The font on the Valentine's Day sentiment is elegant & beautiful. 

Stampin Up! hit it out of the park this year for their Valentine's Day selection! I love all of it!

That is all for today! I am headed back to my stamp table to continue working on Audrey's order. I know my hands are starting to ache so trying to get it done ASAP.

Hope you do something crafty today!
