The Easter Bunny is coming on today’s card. Who doesn’t love a quick and easy card that is most definitely Spring inspired.
Stamps
The stamping on this card could not be easier! And the focal Bunny stamp is stamped on some fun mosaic paper using Basic Gray Ink. I love when I remember that it is perfectly fine to stamp on DSP. When you do that, there is no need to color the image as the paper gives it the color and design.
The grass stamp is a small one. But being Photopolymer, it is very easy to line it up going across the page.I stamped with Granny Apple Green and then colored with Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend. And the Happy Ester was a quick stamp using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
Punch
Sadly the Easter Bunny Punch is out of stock right now. The Chinese New Year does cause issues with our stock. But it will be back before the catalog ends. Luckily the bunny images are all easy to cut out and the punch only fits this one I used. Personally I believe this card would be an adorable Welcome Baby or Baby Shower card simply by changing the sentiment.
Paper
I have to say that this fun polka dot paper makes me think of colored Easter Eggs. That makes it perfect for this card. And easy to pull a variety of colors from it for the other pieces. Both the layer and Bunny DSP pieces are from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. It is the Free with a $100.00 qualifying order with Sale-A-Bration. Using the polka dot piece, I pulled the Bunny sheet and then matched them to Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, and Fresh Freesia.
Embellishments
To complete this card I needed just a bit of bling. I found that with the Glossy Dots on page 143 of the Annual Catalog. Placing the dot on the grass makes it seem like an egg waiting to be found. (At least my imagination says that!) And to give the Bunny his bow, I used the Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend to color the White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack. Using the Silicone Mat, I layed the string out and held one end while drawing the Blend across it. This goes very quickly and dries almost immediately.

This month, our blog hop team made projects to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week, which is February 14-20! We hope you will be inspired by all the beautiful creations the Pals made for you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I love making little Random Act of Kindness cards and gifts. The one for today is a larger version of one I make around Christmas.
Design
Hopefully from the photo you can see that this is one of the old Matchbook treats. When I first began stamping it was a common creation with a variety of notes and treats. I have revitalizing this quick and easy treat for you. Here is a look at the inside.
And Oh My!!! That White Chocolate Sugar Cookie Ghirardelli is amazing !!!! Just saying ! 🙂
Stamps
The fun goose with the awesome Thanks is from the Silly Goose stamp set. Yes, I am a sucker for the cute animal stamps. They are my favorites for hoping to give someone a smile. This image is all it took for the front of this treat. It is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with Stampin’ Blends. Although there were only the bill, feet, and the sign to color. Again, a quick and easy treat to make.
For the inside sentiment I went to the Ringed With Nature stamp set. I love the bold Just For You. A perfect match for the treat.
Paper
To make the treat I wanted a color matching the goose. Since I went with a White Goose, that didn’t leave a lot of choices, except for the feet and bill. I chose a darker yellow/orange and went to Mango Melody. It is a favorite color of mine. And I found the perfect matching paper in the Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper. This piece with slashes of Mango Melody and Melon Mambo was a match at first sight. And it gave me the pink for the Thanks banner!
Finishes
The finishing touch was to give the decorative detail on the corners of the Goose layer. This was accomplished with the Very Best Trio Punch. And to compliment the pink again, I added one of the 2021-2023 Opal Dots in the pink shade for a touch of bling.
Measurements:
The treat base is Mango Melody cut to 3 1/4 X 7 and scored at 3/4, 4, and 4 1/4. The DSP is cut to 3 X 2 1/2 and 3 X 1/2 . I stapled the 3/4″ fold with two staples closer to each side and lower than half way. This allows the front to tuck in behind easily. Staple and then add the small strip of DSP to hide the staples.
The goose layer is a piece of Basic White cut 2 1/8 X 2 3/8. And the inside sentiment White is 3 X 2 1/2. To add the White Chocolate Sugar Cookie treasure, I used a single Glue Dot. They are strong but pull away fairly easily.
Thanks for visiting today !!
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 8th, when our theme will be Party Time, showcasing cards/projects that celebrate our family and friends.

We are in the last month of Sale-A-Bration so I have used a stamp set from your choices today, as well as a couple of the new additions for February. (You can see them in the flyer at the bottom of the post) It is the Adorable Owls set. There are three precious owls with wonderful expressions.
Stamps
I have said many times that I really love the expressions that the Stampin’ Up! Artists give to the animal images they draw. These owls are no different. The eyes on the owl are precious. I stamped the image with Early Espresso Ink and then colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends. All of the Blends are listed at the bottom of the post in the Supply List. I really went a bit out of my norm and blended several colors for the area around the eyes. There are no dies for this stamp set, but it was not difficult to fussy cut with my Paper Snips.
The layers around the sentiment were created to give the sentiment something to hang on to. It is stamped using Melon Mambo Ink and then cut using the Double Oval Punch. That is a perfect fit for the stamp and more interesting than straight edges to me.
Papers
When I chose the flying owl of the three options I wanted a background that was easy and supported the flight. I went to the Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper first because of the outdoor theme. And this was the first piece that I pulled out. Since the saying is a Night Owl, I am considering this landscape as a sunset. LOL!! Personally I just love the colors and after seeing the moon it was perfect for my idea.
Pulling from the owl and DSP, I went with Mango Melody for the Card Base. And then a layer of Soft Suede to tie in the owl colors. The finish is the layers for the sentiment. The White Frayed Ribbon and strip of Soft Suede ground the sentiment. And to finish I added one of the Iridescent Pastel Gems. The one I chose has a blue tint which brings out the blue eyes of the owl. He is my owl and he can have whatever color eyes I want ! 🙂

Today’s card is a sweet Friendship or Valentine card. The Country Bouquet Bundle is an awesome one. I love the colors of the Designer Series paper. It is a happy paper for sure.
Paper
This beautiful DSP is the Country Floral Designer Series Paper. The colors and designs are somewhat Country, as the name suggests. But they are wonderful together and have a different sort of mix. I love the unexpected bicycle print on the larger piece I used. The vertical strip of Balmy Blue DSP is from the same pack of papers. And of course, all of my other color choices came from the bicycle print.
Stamps
I do have to say that the Country Bouquet Punch is out of stock until April. However, you can still purchase the stamp set. The sentiment and stamps are wonderful and since it is a punch containing the two hearts, you could quite easily cut them out. I stamped and then cut these two hearts. The left and right ones are from the set. As is the sentiment.
Punches
As I said, the Country Bouquet Punch is not in stock, but there are other heart punches. For the center heart with the sentiment, I used the Heart Punch Pack. This is the smaller of the two hearts. I believe it fits perfectly here between the two curvy hearts.
Finishes
To complete the card, I chose the Sweet Sorbet as the background for the bicycle print. That is the color I used to stamp the two hearts also. And since there are hearts in the strip of Balmy Blue DSP, I added one more. The Heart Pearls are a wonderful embellishment to have on hand. They fit in here perfectly.

Today’s card is another of the fun Delicate Desert products. This card uses the dies and gorgeous paper. And it is paired with the really fun Taco Fiesta Stamp set.
Dies
For me the star of this card is the Desert Details Dies. I really love that frame! It has little details around the edge that are unexpected and so pretty. Then it is paired with the smaller Indian looking design on the left. Again, the details there are awesome! I like the stamp set, but I would get these dies even if I did not!
Stamps
These fun stamps are from the Taco Fiesta stamp set. They are another new and unique set in the Mini Catalog that immediately got my attention. And I have used them a few other times. I could not resist that sentiment, but the other pieces are great and you know how much I love to color! There are not dies that match this set. However, the pieces are all pretty small and are easy to fussy cut.
Paper
This patterned paper is from the Delicate Desert Designer Series paper. So of course it pairs perfectly with the Desert Details Dies. I think it is also a great match for the other images as well. My color choices were inspired by the DSP piece of course. Cajun Craze is not one I use very often. But it is perfect here. And to soften just a bit I used Soft Succulent for the base. You can see a little more of the base with that large die than you normally would with my layers. The Soft Succulent pairs well with the guacamole and avocado.
Finishes
It was a debate as to how to showcase the sentiment on this card. One thought was another of the Die piece. But it didn’t really fit well. So back to one of my go to punches. The Double Oval Punch was the answer. And the finishing touch is a couple of the Champagne Rhinestones.

Cats can be the sweet, playful, and so funny, which is why I love them. Not to say they cannot be a pain sometimes! But if there is a cat stamp I must have it. Today’s card is using the Love Cats stamp set. And I do love these guys.
Stamps
This cat is definitely in the Love category. I have two sisters who both love to roll in the floor and play. This image fits them perfectly. The Love Cats set has three cat images and fun saying to go with each one. I have used the hanging out cat previously. You can see it HERE. Both the cat and the sentiment are stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
Papers
To continue the Fun theme, I went with a bright and happy piece of DSP. This sheet is from the Flowers & More Designer Series Paper. It is another of the multi-packs of paper that is a Host item in the Mini Catalog. I love the multi-packs for making multiples of one card or 3D projects. Sometimes you need more than two sheets of one pattern.
As usual I picked the DSP first. Then I found colors in the paper that I thought would go with my image. The card base and cat layer are Balmy Blue with the heart and layer in Polished Pink. I covered the bases for a sweetheart card for guys or gals.
Extras
To give some added dimension I used the Decorative Label Punch as the background for the kitty. Just having a different shape behind the circle really pops. The circle is cut using the Layering Circles Dies. If you still have circle punches, this is about 2″.
And for the finishing touch I used the new Pastel Sequins. To not play favorites, I used both pink and blue there also. These sequins are really nice and come in two different sizes. I love that.
