Brunch Celebration

I made several of these cards for the Mother's in my life (my Mother-in-law, my God-Mother, my best friend's Mom and my husband's friend). It's always sad on this day as my own Mother is gone... along now with both my Grandma's. I miss them so much.

I saw this color combo online, so wanted to use it for colors of my flowers. Very springlike.

Thanks for taking a closer look.

Easter Basket Treats

When I saw these little basket treats on Pinterest. I just had to create some for Easter for my family.

I used the Basket Bunch stamp set along with the Basket Builder Framelits to create them. I purchased the Lindt chocolate bunnies and chicks from Target... they fit right in!

I have to give credit to Amy Koenders for giving me the dimensions and cutting/scoring directions for the basket part. Thanks Amy!

To create this basket, you will need a piece of cardstock 1.5 x 2.75 inches. Score this piece at the .75 and 2 inch mark... and .25 inch along both top and bottom. Cut along the score lines at the top and bottom pieces and also diagonally....like this photo (Thanks Amy!).

Now, I first assembled the front and back portion of the die-cut baskets together before attaching the middle piece you see above. At first attempt.... I just used double-sided sticky tape. Well, let's just say it didn't hold together really well. So, the second attempt.... I used the fine-tip glue pen. And, although you need to hold it together for the count of 10 before moving on to the next section to be glued... this worked out well for me.

I added the flowers and the ribbon last after they dried. I finished it off by placing the chocolate chick and bunnies inside.

Hope you enjoy this and Have a Blessed Easter!

Easter Basket

Daffodil's and tulips remind me of spring and the rebirth of the earth from the cold and deary days of winter. Easter is also a reminder of a new beginning... when Jesus rose from the dead! HE is Risen! Alleluia!

The stamp set 'Basket Bunch' and coordinating framelits 'Basket Builder' help create several different options. It was difficult to figure out which stamp I wanted to use for my Easter card. The stamp set has bunnies, chicks, eggs, a basket, a carrot and flowers to choose from. The coordinating framelits allow each to be die-cut too. Easy!

Now, I gave myself a daunting task.... to create 20 of these beauties. So, YES.... I had to stamp and die-cut each leaf, stem, flower and basket!  I added shading to my flowers using the daffodil marker too!

Hope all of you have a Blessed Easter!

Better Bunch

I just had to create this cute bunny for my niece, Miranda. She's 10 now, but when she was younger she loved anything with bunnies on it. Not sure if she's that obsessed with bunnies now, but this cute one reminded me of her! Love you Randy P!

I paired the bunny from the Basket Bunch stamp set with the sentiments from the Better Together stamp set. I think this sentiment brings out the whimsical feeling of bunnies hopping around! =)

Thanks for looking!

Brunch Celebration

When I saw this color combination together on a card on Pinterest (Sweet Sugarplum, So Saffron and Whisper White)... I thought that these colors would be perfect for Mother's Day.

I stamped all the flowers on white cardstock and then colored them in using Sweet Sugarplum, So Saffron and Peek-a-boo Peach markers. I used the Basket Builder Framelits that coordinate with the Basket Bunch stamp set flowers. I adhered the flowers with a dimensional to make them pop.

Thanks for looking!
Happy Mother's Day to all Mom's out there!
