Happy Anniversary!

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Reason to Celebrate

INK: Mossy Meadow

PAPER: Mossy Meadow Base, Old Olive Layer, Cute as a Bug DSP Layer, White

ACCESSORIES: Dimensionals, Lady Bug Garden Embellishments, Lasting Label Punch, Modern Oval Punch

I think that the cards turned out rather cute, and I know that the recipients will love them. Thanks for tuning in, I am trying to come up with cards to share since I am also gathering sap and nursing a head cold.

Have a great week!

Cindy

There is no Bunny Like You!

 I had some time to create a few Easter cards, while the Stampin' Up! stamp sets are retired, that doesn't mean that I don't use them from time to time. I always loved the Excellent Egg and  coordinating Dies. Easter is a great time to send a card to family or friends, just to say that you are thinking of them but also to share a new beginning.

Here are the cards that I made:


Project Recipe:

STAMP SETS: Excellent Eggs

INK: Memento Black

PAPER: Shy Shamrock or Pretty in Pink Base, Balmy Blue Layer, Easter Joy Designer Series Paper

ACCESSORIES: Excellent Eggs Dies. Dimensionals, Stampin' Blends in Crumb Cake & Pretty in Pink, Easter Assortment Dots

The cards were so fun to make and I know just who I will be sending them to!

Thanks for stopping in, have a great week.

Cindy
