Easter Cards

 Good Morning & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Hope your week is off to a great start! Today Kelsey & Shady are coming over to spend the day. Ryan is doing some computer work for her so I am going to make this a quick post! 

The 3 cards I am sharing today were made on Audrey's last card order. She requested something with bunnies for 3 little girls. I know 2 of them are for the great granddaughters and I'm not sure on the 3rd one. I recently visited L&L Stamps and found this adorable paper from Photoplay. The line is called Easter Sunday and this particular sheet is called Cottontail. This was just the perfect paper for 3 little girls...

Card Details:

Stamps: Indescribable Gifts (retired sentiment)

Ink: Pecan Pie

Cardstock: Basic White, Lemon Lime Twist, Pretty in Pink, Daffodil Delight, Photoplay Paper

Accessories: Pierced Blooms Dies (retired), Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These turned out so cute and Audrey loved them!

They were quick & easy to create because the paper does all the work!

Now I wish I would have grabbed another sheet of this paper.

Mixed Florals for Easter

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Happy to say that my time at my stamp table this weekend helped me get all the things finished! I need to call Audrey to see when it's a good time to drop off her order and that's about it. I hope now I can sit and play for myself. I'm looking forward to using some of my new goodies and working on filling up my card rack.

My card today uses the Mixed Florals Bundle from the Online Exclusives. I love the DSP!

Card Details:

Stamps: Mixed Florals (Online Exclusives)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Shy Shamrock, Daffodil Delight & Poppy Parade

Cardstock: Poppy Parade, Basic White, Mixed Media Florals DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Mixed Florals Dies, Dotted Circles 3D EF, White Ribbon (Online Exclusives), Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

That's alot of coloring but that's why I only made this one card.

I haven't played much with this suite of products yet so maybe this week I will get too!

The Mixed Media Florals DSP is beautiful!!

Pretty Petals Birthday Cards

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday, Friends!

Hope your enjoying a nice weekend! It's been pretty rainy & dreary here in PA the last few days! Here's to hoping the sun makes an appearance today! I finished up Audrey's card order yesterday so today I will be working on finishing up addressing my Easter cards and getting some card kits prepared for a Stamp Day w/ Friends get together which I am thinking of having the week after Easter if all goes smoothly. I say that because the last few weeks I have not been feeling good due to my blood pressure being way too low. I have been closely monitoring my blood pressure readings and have finally stopped my BP medication. 

Today I have 2 pretty cards to share with you using a stamp set from the Online Exclusives list called Pretty Petals. I fell in love with a card that was made by LeeAnn Greff and I ordered the stamp set. I've made several cards with it and loved each & every one! I paired this stamp set with the Everyday Happiness DSP from the 2025 Spring Scrapbook Catalog.

Card Details:

Stamps: Pretty Petals (Online Exclusives), Greetings of the Season & Everyday Greetings (both from the Online Exclusives)

Ink: Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat

Cardstock: Lost Lagoon, Wild Wheat, Pretty Peacock, Basic White, Everyday Happiness DSP (2025 Spring Scrapbook Catalog)

Accessories: Countryside Corners Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Brushed Brass Butterflies, Various Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

If I had to choose which one I liked better....well, I don't think I could as I like them both!

I like the colors & prints in this pack of DSP which I think helps to pull the Wild Wheat into this color combination. I've said I was not a big fan of Wild Wheat but I do like it here with these 2 colors (Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock). I'm honestly not sad to see this 2023-2025 In Color leaving as I found it hard to use these last 2 years. Have you seen the new In Colors coming for the next 2 years? I was so hoping for a teal color but not happening this time around.

Time to Celebrate Gift Card Holder

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

It's quite the dreary morning here in PA....one that makes ya want to crawl back into bed for the day! I'm feeling run down today...might be from my injection last evening. It tends to give me fatigue usually on Saturdays. Anyways, today I have a pretty card to share with you using the Beautiful Butterflies bundle from the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog. I said I was not going to buy anymore butterfly sets since I have so many but this one spoke to me and I have really been enjoying this one! If you haven't got this set you really need too before it's gone.

Card Details:

Stamps: Beautiful Butterflies

Ink: Melon Mambo, Blackberry Bliss, Shy Shamrock

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Basic White, Bloom Impressions DSP (SAB 25)

Accessories: Beautiful Butterflies Dies, Countryside Corners Dies, 1 1/2 Inch Circle Punch, Pretty in Pink Shimmer Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I made this one a gift card holder since I want to put more of those on my card rack for sale. They seem like a big hit for people who like to add cash or a gift card inside. I just need to get working on a few masculine ones! Today might be the day if I can pull myself together.

What are you working on today?

Sounds like this might be my kind of day ahead! LOL

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!

We are in for a few days of rainy weather here in Pennsylvania, so my plan is to get some crafting time in! Today I need to get some laundry done then i'm going to get started on Audrey's cards. They say we are in for some heavy downpours later today which hopefully helps with our drought.

Yesterday I did get some crafty time in while I was on a phone call with my good friend Miss Emily. I just recently got the Everyday You & Me Bundle from the 2025 Spring Stampin Up!

Mixed Media Florals Memories & More

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

I know it's been a few days since I last posted. Life has been crazy busy but today I made sure to set some time aside to play at my stamp table. Audrey gave me yet another card order that I need to start soon. But today I wanted to show you 2 Easter cards I made with some current products from the Stampin Up 2025 Spring Mini Catalog. I purchased the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack only because I really liked that pack of Mixed Florals DSP from the Online Exclusives. As I was going thru the little card pieces in the pack I realized some of those cards can be used to make cards which absolutely makes things easier!

I had enough supplies to make two cards...

Those pretty floral images were the perfect start to creating some Easter cards which I have been slacking on! Everything on this card with the exception of the cardbase & sentiment panel came from this Memories & More Card Pack. I think from now on I will pay more attention to those!

Card Details:

Stamps: Whimsical Words (retired)

Ink: Flirty Flamingo

Cardstock: Flirty Flamingo, Basic White, Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), White Ribbon, White Sequins (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Love how these turned out and how quickly they came together!

Now, I hope I can get them addressed & in the mail before Easter! LOL

My thoughts today...

We been having quite a few rainy days as of lately. I won't complain about it because I know how badly we need it. Today was probably the dreary-est day. Clouds, fog and drizzle makes for a napping kind of day! LOL It also got chilly out. I guess on my trip to Walmart this evening I will need to break out the winter coat again. Burrr! Hoping this chill is short lived!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Ghiradelli Bunnies for Easter

Good Morning & Happy Thursday, Friends!

Today I have a cute little treat to share with you! I made these to give out to a few friends but then Audrey asked if I made any Easter treats so I ended up selling them to her. These are the cutest little treat that I used the Choose Happy stamp set with...

I had a whole bag of these Caramel & Milk Chocolate Bunnies but Shawn has been hitting them pretty hard. I had 6 left in the bag so that is what I used for these treats. The sealable cello bags I have had for years. They were a purchase from L&L Stamps in Ephrata, PA. way before she ever moved into her new home. They were the perfect size just for 1 little chocolate bunny. 

Audrey always loves just a little something to give people and this one was a hit with her!

Last evening I did a quick trip to the grocery store and grabbed a bag of Reese's PB Eggs. I will do something with them one day next week. I know my gang loves them and yes, I had to hide the bag so no one eats them before I get to them! LOL

Valentine's Day Fun Fold Cards

Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

Hope your week is going well! Yesterday I finished up Audrey's card order and I got it delivered to her last evening. She was in very good spirits and we had a wonderful chat! I'm sure Shawn probably wondered why I was in her house so long! She looked very good and was happy with all the cards I made for her!

Today as I was looking thru my camera pictures I found 3 single fun fold Valentine's Day cards that I made last month for Shawn's HR lady and I never posted them. She requested 3 different (non mushy) cards so I pulled out all the fun Bee Mine & Cute As Can Bee DSP's and got to work.

Card Details:

Stamps: Bee My Valentine, Inky Antics (inside Sentiment)

Ink: Real Red, Petunia Pop

Cardstock: Real Red, Petal Pink, Petunia Pop, Basic White, Bee Mine DSP (retired), Cute As Can Bee DSP (2025 Scrapbook Catalog)

Accessories: Heart Pack Punches, Various Ribbon, Mini Bee Trinkets, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I loved all 3 cards and always enjoy making this style of fun fold, too!

Yesterday I covered a spiral bound notebook for spring and today I want to get it decorated then get back to creating some cards for Easter. I will share them here once I get them done so please make sure to stop back! Oh and I also made Audrey some cute little Easter treats. I will share those tomorrow!

Pretty In Pink

 Good Morning & Happy Monday, Friends!

Hope you all enjoyed a nice weekend! It's was a 10+ here!

For once we had some warm temps! And we did manage to get all the leaves cleaned up from the neighbors trees which drives me bonkers! That's a whole other story!

Anyways, today we are in for some thunderstorms as a cold front is to come thru and you guessed it...take away our warm weather! I am headed down to my stamp table today to finish up Audrey's order and maybe get some more Easter cards started for myself. I do want to share a card that I made for Audrey on her last order. She requested a card for her very good friend that loves pink! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Beautifully Happy (retired SAB 2023), Adventurous Sky (sentiment)

Ink: Memento Black, Granny Apple Green, Pretty in Pink

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Basic White, Lily Pond Lane DSP

Accessories: Countryside Corners Dies, Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Pretty in Pink Shimmer Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Every year she requests a pink birthday card and I know exactly who it's for!

This one turned out quite lovely! I told you that I would be using this retired stamp quite a bit! It's become a favorite and if I could use it all of her cards, I would!

Easter Bunny

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

I had a few minutes to sit and create a card this morning while Shawn was busy in the garage doing some cleaning up. I decided I needed to get Easter cards started so I pulled out this adorable Countryside Inn DSP and got to work.

I used one of those sweet little bunnies from the Storybook Friends stamp set and the coordinating dies. I also used a new product from the Online Exclusives List called More Messages Die (will be available in May). There are a few things that are retired, too, like the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, the Misty Moonlight Ribbon and the Bashful Blue Shimmer Gems.

Card Details:

Just a quick card this morning that we made at my last Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. The girls like all occasion cards so now it's time for a pretty floral card! I used lots of retired products on this one like the Basics 3D Embossing Folders, Biggest Wish stamp set and some  Delightfully Eclectic DSP from 2023.

I'm hoping tomorrow to get to my stamp table. I am still slowly working on Audrey's card order plus I would like to get some Easter cards made for myself. Lots of idea's floating in my head that I can't wait to try!
