Fable Friends Easter Greetings

Happy Easter, friends!

I didn't make or send any cards this year, but the adorable Fable Friends set is carrying over to the new catalog, so maybe I'm ahead of the game for next year!

To create my card, I stamped the bunny in Memento Tuxedo Black on Whisper White card stock and colored him with Stampin' Blends.  Using my Paper Snips, I cut out the image.  The background for the bunny was created with a frame created with the Stitched Shapes dies and the Layering Ovals dies.  The background for the frame is a piece of Gingham Designer Series Paper in Daffodil Delight, embossed with the Subtle embossing folder.

A piece of Whisper White card stock embossed with the Basket Weave embossing folder and adhered to a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock.  The greeting is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and cut out with the Pretty Label Punch.  

Note:  I trimmed the punch to remove the top and bottom curved shapes.

The card is finished off with a piece of retired Organdy Ribbon in Daffodil Delight tied in a bow.

Happy Easter

I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend.  We enjoyed beautiful weather and lots of family time. It was perfect in every way!

As I was behind from being out of town the previous week, I wasn't able to share my Easter cards with you before the holiday.  But, here they are today!  I used Eclectic Expressions in two color combos to create the background.  And since I made the background, no two cards are alike.  The bunny was created from the Daisy punch, 1" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, and a retired scalloped circle punch for the tail.  The Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder in Sahara Sand made the Layering Oval Framelits created a mat for the bunny.  The greeting is from You're Inspiring.

Here is a closer look at each of the color combos.

Note:  Eclectic Expressions and the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder are Sale-a-bration items, so they are not currently available.  (The embossing folder will return with the new annual catalog).

Colorful Easter

Hello stampers!

Today I'm sharing the Easter cards I made to send to family and friends that I won't see over the holiday.  I used the stamps from the March Paper Pumpkin kit to make these cards.  I love all the bright spring colors!

What do you think?  Cute, isn't it?

Bunny Buddies

Hello stampers!

I have a super cute project to share with you today!  And just in time for Easter!  I made mine for a couple of very special little girls....who is on your list?

The adorable bunnies and their coordinating cards are from the March 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit, Bunny Buddies!  This month's kit comes with enough supplies to make 9 bags and 9 cards (+ envelopes).

In addition, this kit has literally dozens of alternative possibilities.  Here is one that I made.

One of the great benefits of being a Paper Pumpkin subscriber is that not only does Stampin' Up! send you a monthly email with alternative project ideas, but there is a Facebook group where Paper Pumpkin fans enthusiastically share their creations!

Stampin' Up! also produces a monthly video that is posted on You Tube that walk through assembling your kit.



If you are not a current subscriber, and you are interested in more information, contact me or click the tab at the top of the page!

Please remember to go on over to my new Facebook page and 'like' it.  Going forward, I will be posting more there and fewer posts to my blog.  Just click here to check it out!  As the page gets up and going, I will be able to start hosting live events from there, among other things!  Hope to "see" you there!
