Springtime Joy Bunny Card

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

Today I am sharing card #1 from yesterday's Stamp Day w/ Friends get together!

I have been working on all occasion cards for the girls but wanted to sneak in an Easter card for them to use. I used my much loved & much used Springtime Joy stamp set for this one!

I paired this sweet image with some of last year's SaleABration Coordinations Pleased As Punch DSP.

I love the springtime colors in it!

We started off with a Costal Cabana cardbase then a layer of Whisper White cardstock that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Painted Texture 3D EF. This is another amazing folder that brings lots of texture to your card!

Next I used a layer of Blushing Bride cardstock and layered a piece of Pleased As Punch DSP on top of it.

We stamped our bunny & flowers image on Whisper White cardstock with Memento Black ink.

I diecut that with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. Then used a Daffodil Delight Scalloped Circle Layering Die to lay under our stamped image.

Next we colored the bunny & flower with Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party & Crumb Cake Stampin Blends.

Next we stamped our sentiment on Whisper White cardstock with Coastal Cabana ink and diecut that from the Stitched Rectangle Framelits.

Lastly, we added the 2 retired Glittered Daffodil Delight Enamel Dots and a Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon bow.

Card Details:

Stamps: Springtime Joy

Ink: Memento Black, Coastal Cabana, Stampin Blends- Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party & Crumb Cake

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Daffodil Delight, Pleased As Punch DSP (retired)

Accessories: Painted Texture 3D EF, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Daffodil Delight Glittered Enamel Dots (retired), Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The girls loved making this one and loved the springy colors!

It was a great day and what a way to welcome the 1st day of Spring!

Hope you like this card, too!

My thoughts today...

Indeed it is!

We are looking at 65 degrees today!

We may even get out for our 1st bike ride of the season as long as it's not too windy out!

Hope you can take advantage of the warm sunshine today, too!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Acetate Boxes for Easter Treats

 Good Morning & Happy Friday!

It's a cold, windy morning here after a day of rain yesterday!

It was the perfect day to nap which I did not do.

I got my downstairs ready for my Stamp Day w Friends get together for Saturday.

Today I am working on laundry and hoping to grab a short nap since I did not sleep good last night.

I'm already on my 2nd cup of coffee and i'm thinking I may need more!

Have you seen the 3 1/8  Acetate Card Boxes in the Stampin Up! Annual Catalog?

They are on page 152 and sell 10 boxes for $6.00.

I have not used these for the small cards but I have used them quite a few times in the last year for treat boxes. Easter is no different as I made 18 of these for my customers treat order.

I simply colored up some of those adorable lambs from the Springtime Joy stamp set and used up some retired gingham papers!

My boxes are filled with 4 Bite Sized Kit Kats.

The outside is decorated with a Scalloped Square in different cardstock colors then I diecut a Square using the same set of Framelits in the matching Gingham DSP colors. 

Next I diecut another layer of cardstock with the Tasteful Labels Dies and I ran those panels thru the Big Shot with my very loved Tasteful Textile 3D EF for added texture.

The next layer is the Scalloped Circle and then the Whisper White layer that has the lamb stamped on. 

I colored those images with Stampin Blends.

I stamped my sentiment in coordinating colored ink on Whisper White and punched it out with the Classic Label Punch and attached it with Mini Dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a matching bow with a glue dot and some big rhinestones.

Project Details:

Stamps: Springtime Joy, You're Inspiring (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends, Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight

Cardstock: Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Whisper White, Various Gingham DSP (retired)

Accessories: Square Layering Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Tasteful Labels Dies, Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Classic Label Punch, Various Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Adhesive Foam Sheets, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were so much fun to make and my card lady just loved them!

If your looking for a quick treat, these boxes are perfect for that!

I really like the size of them and it doesn't take a whole lot of candy to fill them!

My card lady wanted these to lay on each person's table setting for their Easter dinner and I bet she will get lots of big smiles from her family!

That is all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & enjoy your Friday!

Bunnies & Butterflies

 Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a nice weekend!

Our weather yesterday was very windy so we just stayed put at home and cleaned up the garage.

It needed it badly!

Today I have a set of cards that I made for my card lady.

She requested bunnies & butterflies with no saying.

Thankfully, the Springtime Joy stamp set has bunnies & butterflies!

I'm sure by now your tired of seeing these bunny & lamb projects but I promise you that I am just about done sharing them! This stamp set has some adorable spring images in it and to be honest, they just make me smile!

I started these cards with a Petal Pink cardbase that I used a layer of Pleased As Punch DSP on.

Just a reminder that the Pleased As Punch DSP is retired and leftover from last year.

It has such pretty spring colors in it and i'd really like to get this pack of paper used up!

I then took a piece of the rainbow colored paper and added it over the Petal Pink DSP.

That piece measures 1 1/4 x 4 3/4.

It brings a splash of pretty colors to my card!

I stamped my images in Memento Black ink and colored my images with Stampin Blends to match my rainbow colored DSP.

Lastly, I added a bow with the Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon.

I kept these cards flat for easy mailing.

Card Details:

Stamps: Springtime Joy

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Pleased As Punch DSP (SAB Coordinates-retired)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The 1st day of Spring is only a few days away and these cards will be a nice way to make someone's day!

Easter M&M Sticks

Hello & Happy Sunday!

I hope your having a nice weekend!

Yesterday I had a surprise phone call from my best friend, Deb!

We chatted for about 2 hours so no stamping took place! LOL

Afterwards Shawn & I took a 3 mile walk at the Rail Trail.

It was pretty somber to say the least.

There were flowers on both sides of the bridge that takes you to the trail and people were hanging out on the bridge talking. They may have been friends or family of the young woman.

Such a sad thing...

Anyways, yesterday Shawn got the hitch and bike carrier put on the car and went over each bike to make sure they were ready to use. Today we may take them out for a quick spin.

I'm really excited for it and i'm sure my feet & ankles will be happy as well.

Walking takes a toll on my body for some reason but biking is what I love & enjoy very much!

So today I have my M&M Easter Sticks to share!

My card lady ordered 18 of them and this is what I made for her...

I tied my 1x8 cello bags shut with some retired White Baker's Twine.

My tags were made with the Springtime Joy stamp set and I stamped the bunny with Memento Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock and diecut them out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I colored my bunny image with Stampin Blends so they would match the M&M's. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set.

I stamped it in Highland Heather ink and punched it out with the Classic Label Punch and attached it to my tags with Mini Dimensionals. Easy peasy!

Project Details:

Stamps: Springtime Joy, Itty Bitty Greetings

Ink: Memento Black, Highland Heather, Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Whisper White

Accessories: Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Classic Label Punch, Hand Held Hole Punch (retired), White Baker's Twine (retired), Mini Dimensionals

Aren't they cute?

Springtime Joy Card Set

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Yesterday we had another beautiful day!

Our temps hit mid 60's which has been nice to open windows and air out the house!

I still have 1 snow pile left in my front yard and I hope that those mid 70 temps melt it today!

Today I have a set of Easter cards to share that I whipped up for my card rack.

I used that cute Springtime Joy stamp set again and i'm trying to use up some of the DSP paper packs I have on hand because those prints & patterns will be changing with our new catalog that is coming in May. 

I started with a Flirty Flamingo cardbase then a layer of Whisper White that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Ornate Floral 3D EF. I don't use this embossing folder as much as I would the Tasteful Textile 3D EF so today I made myself use it. 

Next I took my Brights & 2020-2022 In Color DSP Paper Packs and picked out some springy colors.

I chose Flirty Flamingo, Bumble Bee and Just Jade. 

I cut these strips 4 x 1 1/4 and adhered them to my embossed Whisper White cardstock panel in a staggered layout and over lapping one another. I just love this design as it brings lots of interest to the card!

Next I added my colored bunny images from the Springtime Joy stamp set that I diecut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the Circle Layering Framelits. I stamped my sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink and used the Classic Label Punch to punch it out. I added them with Mini Dimensionals.

And lastly I added 3 small Champagne Rhinestones for some sparkle to finish up my set of cards.

Card Details:

Stamps: Springtime Joy, Itty Bitty Greetings

Ink: Memento Black, Flirty Flamingo, Stampin Blends- (Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight & Just Jade)

Cardstock: Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White, Just Jade, DSP- Just Jade, Bumble Bee & Flirty Flamingo

Accessories: Ornate Floral 3D EF, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Bumble Bee Ribbon, Glue Dots, Mini Dimensionals, Champagne Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Aren't they just the sweetest?!

I have come to really like this Springtime Joy stamp set and have used it quite a bit on cards and my Easter Treats which I will share soon!

My card lady called yesterday and gave me a huge order so that is on my agenda the next couple of days!  Today though, I am not feeling all the best. I did not sleep good last night and I ache from head to toe so I am going to take it easy today and soak up the sunshine & warmth!

Springtime Joy Treats

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Yesterday was a really nice day! 

Shawn & I took advantage of it and went to the Rail Trail for a 3 mile walk.

There was a few police around since they have been looking for a young woman that went missing on Saturday. Her car & cell phone was left in the parking lot where we get on the Rail Trail. 

Not sure what the story is but I don't think she has been found yet.

Anyways, today we are in for another beautiful warm day!

Those 2 snow piles in my yard are almost melted! YAY!

Today I have a sweet treat to share that I made up for Easter!

I used the Springtime Joy stamp set that is in the 2021 January - June Mini Catalog.

It's adorable!

The boxes are the Love You Always Treat Boxes.

Project Details:

Stamps: Springtime Joy, Arrange A Wreath, Punch Party (Hostess)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends, Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Petal Pink

Cardstock: Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Petal Pink, Whisper White, Various DSP (retired)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Double Oval Punch, Rhinestones, Various Ribbon (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have to say that I really love how these turned out!

I love the colors and I used a bunch of retired DSP & Ribbon!

Each box is filled with a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg, 4 Kit Kats Bite Sized Bars and 3 Dove Chocolates.

I wouldn't mind getting one of these for Easter! Yum!
