The darling Easter Bunny Punch has been unorderable for a few weeks now, much to many stampers’ chagrin. Good news — it’s coming back soon, AND it’s in the new 2023 Annual Catalog, available on May 2, so do not count Mr./Mrs. Bunny out! He or she is perfect for all your Spring projects! Here is a card I recently made:

These are the measurements I used:

• Pale Papaya card base at 5 1/2 by 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
• Fresh Freesia cardstock panel: 4 1/4″ by 3 1/4″
• Basic White Cardstock: 4 1/8″ by 3 1/8″, run through the Cut and Emboss machine with Subtle Embossing Folder
• Dandy Designs DSP: 4 1/8″ by 1 1/4″, adhered over the embossed white panel
• Fresh Freesia cardstock for center circle, cut out with Beautiful Shapes dies
• Basic White card stock scrap, stamped with sentiment from Thanks a Bunch stamp set and punch out with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
• Dandy Designs DSP, punched out with the Easter Bunny punch

This card goes together quickly once you have everything cut out. Love that Easter Bunny Punch!

It might not look like Spring outside here in Northern Minnesota, but it’s time to start thinking about Spring cards. I had some fun creating this carrot card using the Thanks a Bunch stamp set from Sale-A-Bration, and the awesome Dandy Deeds designer series papers. Thanks to Julie Gilson for the inspiration. Here’s my card:

These are the measurements I used:

• Fresh Freesia cardstock panel: 5 1/4″ by 4″
• DSP: 5 1/8″ by 3 7/8″
• Fresh Freesia cardstock for middle of card: 3 1/8″ by 4 3/8″
• Basic White card stock panel: 3″ by 4 1/4″
• Scrap of Basic White card stock: 4 by 5″ or so

I started by adhering the first two layers onto the card front. Then I stamped five carrots on the scrap piece of Basic White card stock using Pale Papaya ink, with the accent stamp in Pumpkin Pie. I also stamped some leaves in Garden Green. I fussy cut the carrots and the leaves.

I then stamped some of the carrot ‘fronds’ onto the 3 by 4 1/4″ white panel at the top, to top off the carrot bunch. I then arranged the five carrots onto the white panel, gluing some and popping some up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I then adhered the smaller Fresh Freesia panel onto the back of the carrot bunch panel.

Finally, I stamped a sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink onto a 3/4″ strip of white card stock and then used the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch to punch it out. I added it to the front of the card with Dimensionals, and popped on two Adhesive Flat Pearls. I tied a double bow of Linen Thread and attached it with a glue dot. Done

Shannon West from the Stampin’ Up! offices recently sent me a lovely card to help me celebrate a milestone in Career Sales. Here is the fun card she sent me:

So I had some fun deconstructing her card and creating one of my own using the soon-to-be-retired Lovely You Stamp Set, found in the SU! Annual Catalog. Here’s my card:

The ribbon unties to open up a blank inner section:

The measurements are as follows:

• 3” circle, then one punch from 2 1/2” circle punch, or one size smaller circle
• Folded Card Portion:  7” by 5 1/4”, scored at 4”
• White inside panel: 3 7/8” by 5 1/8”
• Strip of DSP:  5 1/8”
• Back panel:  5 1/2 by 4 1/4”
• Front DSP: 2 7/8” by 5 1/8”

The two pieces of ribbon were glued between layers of the card on the left before adhering the DSP onto the top, and the two layers of the circles, using Tear and Tape to make sure it’s good and sticky!

This stamp set is worth adding to your collection, and it’s only available for a limited time. Every sentiment is so sweet and pretty!

Soft Succulent

Pale Papaya

It’s time to get ready to say goodbye to our beautiful 2020-22 In Colors. Which do you love the most? I have to say that with the promise of a Color Refresh, I HOPE that Soft Succulent stays around as one of the regular permanent colors. How about you? Any you can’t live without?

That being said, if you REALLY love one of the In Colors above, NOW is the time to stock up on inks, papers, ink refills, or anything else related to that color, because believe me, everything will go fast, and when it’s gone, it’s gone!

That being said again…..If you love great deals, then the Last Chance Products Sale is the perfect time to shop! Starting on April 4, you will get deep discounts on your favorite retiring products! More details to come!
