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!!

Extreme Guitar HB

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

Today we are headed to the hospital to visit my friend, Deb, and see how she's doing.

I'm hoping she soon gets to go home!

I have a cool card to share with you today that uses all things retired.

A few weeks ago I talked about the line of stamps that Stampin Up carried back in 2009 called Extreme. I have 3 of the 5 stamps. This card uses the Extreme Guitar stamp.

Card Details:

Stamps: Extreme Guitar (retired 2009), For the Record (retired 2022)

I took a piece of the retired Rock & Roll DSP and colored all the guitars on it with my Blueberry Bushel Stampin Blends which I think pulls it all together! I love how it turned out!

Pretty Florals Card

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

Yesterday was a gorgeous day weather wise...sunshine & 70's and if you know me you know that is my favorite weather! Today we are back to cloudy, rainy & quite cooler! I hope Mother Nature soon gets regulated so we can have more sunshine & warmer days!

Today I am sharing a card that I made for my dear friend, Deb. She is the one whom is responsible for getting me into stamping and has been a very good friend to my family & I for about 30 years. Recently she was hospitalized with some very serious issues. We went to visit her last Saturday and to say I've been very worried about her is an understatement. To my surprise she called me yesterday from the ICU which really helped to brighten my spirits and I hope it did the same for her! It was so good to hear her voice and chit chat a few minutes. I may try to go visit her again this weekend. Anyways, I made a card to take along for her. This one uses the Pretty Florals Bundle and the Beautiful Motifs set both from the 2025-26 Stampin Up! Annual Catalog. I'm pretty sure they will be retiring in the next month but it will be staying put in my collection.

Card Details:

Stamps: Pretty Florals, Beautiful Motifs

Ink: Garden Green, Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss

Cardstock: Garden Green, Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss, Basic White, Florals In Bloom DSP

Accessories: Pretty Florals Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Beautiful Pattern EF (Online Exclusives), Starburst Sequins (retired Online Exclusives), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Hope this card helps to brighten her spirits!
