Hoppin' Easter Party

There's a hoppin' Easter Party happening over on the Clear and Simple Stamps blog. Check it out here.

Check out the Bunny Hop

The Sweet Sketch Wednesday DT are running a fun 'bunny hop' this weekend, and DigiStamp Boutique is the sponsor. Lots of prizes to be won if you take part...plus there is 10% off all images on their website during the hop!

Check out the DigiStamp Boutique blog for all the details.

Fifi from DigiStamp Boutique

Ok, I hope you liked the K&Company Carolyn Gavin Greenhouse papers from yesterday because I have another card for you today using that paper. Despite our yard full of snow I am thinking about spring and this paper just makes me smile so I used it again today. I paired it up with one of the March releases from DigiStamp Boutique  Fifi Princess. She's available by herself or in a set of 3 Fifi images. You can find more samples of her from my fellow design team members and also on the DigiStamp Blog.

I'll be spending the weekend with a fabulous group of girlfriends on the shores of Lake Superior! We have rented a 3 bedroom cottage and are leaving the husbands and the kids at home. I'm sure I won't do too well on the whole eating healthy thing this weekend but the amount of laughter during the weekend should prove to be a good ab workout. :)  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Thanks so much for stopping. Happy Stamping!

All Things Unity Challenge

There's a new challenge blog in town (All Things Unity) and I thought it would be fun to play along. Plus I need to ink up my Feb kit before my March kits arrives. {giggle} You can get all the details on the challenge here but just briefly the challenge is to make a sunshiney card so here's what I came up with . . .

I thought the K&Company Carolyn Gavin Greenhouse paper pack would be perfect for this challenge. It seems very sunshiney to me.

Basically the same  layout except for the image panel. This time I used an oval Nestabilities and stamped the adorable bird image. I added some pink gems to the flower centers on the image panel and the green floral designer paper strips.

I used the bird image again for this card but stamped it on some October Afternoon paper and then paper pieced the image with more October Afternoon papers (Cherry Hill collection). I used my Nestabilities Labels 4 set for the sentiment on this one.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a wonderful week! Happy Stamping.

Spring Hoppy Card

Today I have another spring card to share with you using the Spring Hoppy image from the Offer of the Month over at DigiStamp Boutique. I just love this little bunny and chick. I paired them up with some My Mind's Eye Home papers and some fun yellow gingham ribbon. I also pulled out my white gel pen to add some dots to the scalloped border of SU Almost Amethyst.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a wonderful week! Happy Stamping!

More CSS Stamp of the Month Samples

How about more samples with the Stamp of the Month set from Clear and Simple Stamps BEST BUNNIES. I went with a very simple layout for this card. I think I'll use it to create some card sets to have on hand for gifts.

This next card uses a variety of Bittersweet papers from BasicGrey. I went with the solid "chocolate" bunny for this card. Maybe I'll give this card to my Daughter for Easter. It might be a little too "girly" for my Husband. {wink}

Don't forget that you can get a $1 off this set by entering: CSS0310.Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope your week is off to a great start. Happy Stamping!

What's Cooking

How about a card using some of the fun new My Mind's Eye papers that are available. I also used my Tim Holtz Ornate die to create the fun little edges below the green polka dot strip. Tim worked with Sizzix and created a whole new line of dies. This one is from the On the Edge collection.

Hope you're having a wonderful day! Thanks so much for stopping. Happy Stamping!

Offer of the Month from DigiStamp Boutique

Today I have a couple of cards using the Spring Coco image from DigiStamp Boutique. This cute little bear image is available individually or as part of the Offer of the Month. I printed him out in a couple of different sizes which is one of the things I love about digital stamps!

For the first card I kept is very simple. I printed the image pretty large and colored it with Copics then used a couple of papers from the DCWV Songbird collection to create my layout. I like the simplicity of the layout with the fun glittery background paper.

The second card uses a smaller version of the same image also colored with Copics. For this card I pulled out some LilyKate paper from BasicGrey. I also added some ribbons and a strip of pearls from Kaiser Craft.

I hope you're having a wonderful week. Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy Stamping!
