Happy Easter Set

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Nothing much planned for today other than a trip to Sam's Club this evening so today I  hope to get to my stamp table and make some cards!

I do have a set of Easter cards I want to share with you today that I made while I was on a roll with making Easter cards last week! I actually made a few extra's just incase.

This set is a mish mash of different products but turned out so cute!

Card Details:

Stamps: Excellent Eggs

Ink: Mint Macaron (retired)

Cardstock: Mint Macaron (retired), Basic White, Daffodil Delight, The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)

Accessories: Excellent Eggs Dies, Everyday Details Dies, Basket Weave EF (retired), Daffodil Delight Ribbon (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

That particular day I pulled out everything I have in my stash that is Easter related. I found the paper from Hobby Lobby with the eggs on and decided to diecut them with the Excellent Eggs Dies and I loved how they turned out. And of course, my friend, Carol, recently used the Basket Weave EF which inspired me to pull mine out and blow the dust off of it. 

Thanks Carol for inspiring me! These were just so much fun to play around with & create!

Hope you enjoy them!

My thoughts today...

I'm sure you all have seen the news in the last 2 days about the bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland. It's really sad that this has happen and lives were lost. Praying for the families of the lost and hoping that it doesn't take years to rebuild that bridge. 

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy your day!

Penny Black Easter Bonnet

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I have something a little bit different from my normal Stampin Up things. I was going thru my Easter drawer and found this adorable stamp from Penny Black and was inspired to ink it up and color it. I really was not expecting to make a card with it but I did! I have had this stamp for many years and i'm not even sure if Penny Black is still in business. I have a slew of their stamps that I always forget I have because I keep them separate from my Stampin Up stamps. They are tucked away in an iris cart which I hardly ever look thru which is a shame because they are just so cute!

Card Details:

Stamps: Penny Black-Easter Bonnet, Heartfelt Hello's (SAB 24)

Ink: Memento Black, Granny Apple Green, Stampin Blends-Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Pumpkin, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock: Thick Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Basic White, Daffodil Delight DSP (retired), Granny Apple Green DSP (retired), Pumpkin Pie DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Pumpkin Pie Enamel Dots (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

All my Easter cards have been addressed and put out for the mail. I hope they are not too delayed and get to their destinations on time!

We are in for a rainy day today and I always say....it's a great day if your a duck!

I am making stuffed peppers for supper this evening which will help heat up the kitchen. It's been so cool & damp the last week or so. I'm hoping our weather soon improves to get out and walk in the evenings now that we have longer daylight!

Looks Like Spring Dies

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

I hope your day is off to a great start?!

Today I want to share a card I made for Audrey on her last order. She just requested something with daffodils and no sentiment. I was going to pull out my Daffodil Afternoon stamp set but then I remembered I ordered a small set of dies from Stampin Up. I think these were an add on to the Kits Collection. This set only has 4 dies in it but caught my eye because it diecut a cute little daffodil. So this is what I pulled out and used for her card...

Card Details:

Stamps: none

Ink: none

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Basic White, Gingham Gala DSP (retired)

Accessories: Fun Patterns EF (Online Exclusives), Looks Like Spring Dies, Daffodil Delight Enamel Dots, Organdy Ribbon (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My pictures really did not do this card any justice but as always, Audrey loved it!

So, I did get my Easter cards all finished! Today I will be addressing them and getting them out for the mail. Hoping they arrive at their destination in time for Easter!

Latte Love Gift Bag

 Good Morning & Happy Hump Day, Everyone!

We are halfway thru the week and I feel like I haven't accomplished much.

I did however get Audrey's card order finished & delivered to her on Monday evening!

Yesterday I also got a couple of Easter/Spring decorations out. I wanted to go stamp but never did. My hands are bothering me a little so I guess it was best to rest them. 

Today I am sharing the gift bag that I decorated for Audrey's card order. I do this every time she has a card order whether it's a big order or 2 cards. I am not sure what she does with the bags after she empties them. On this one I pulled out the Online Exclusive set called Latte Love which is such a pretty set & beautiful papers to boot! Usually she comments on the bags but this one she did not.

Project Details:

Stamps: Latte Love (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Memento Black, Pecan Pie, Stampin Blends- Petal Pink

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Basic White, Petal Pink Glimmer Paper (retired), A Little Latte DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Latte Love Dies, Adhesive Backed Swirl Dots, Pecan Pie/Vanilla Stitched Ribbon, Foam Adhesive Sheets, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I had so much fun just playing around with this suite of products!

I love all things coffee even though I can't stomach coffee much these days. I'm lucky once a week to drink it these last few weeks. 

Today I do hope to get a few Easter cards created because Easter will be here soon!

I pulled out the ever so lovely Flowering Zinnia DSP and got to work!

We got her card delivered to her last evening and she sure was chatty!

And I got to see pictures of her great granddaughters! 

They are just the most precious little ones ever! 

Well, today I am putting my St Patrick's Day decorations away and digging out a few Easter/Spring things to decorate with. It surely does not feel like spring outside though!

Last Friday we hit 76 degrees and yesterday we had a high of 44. Crazy!
