Easter Mini Eggs

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day. We have some great weather here in the Chicago area.. there's some clouds but it's the first time since last year that I could leave my coat at home.

Today I'm playing along with the Sisterhood of Crafters where they're looking for rainbows or rainbow colors. I Made this sweet Easter card with lots of color so it should qualify! I know lots of people gravitate to pastels for Easter but I guess I've always been a brights sort of person. I remember when I was young and coloring eggs with our Paas Dye Kit parking my egg in the chartreuse so that it would be the darkest color of them all. My siblings were never happy with that, but I only grabbed one color at a time.

I assembled Waffle Flower Mini Eggs in different shades. If you look close you'll see that there is an out line die, a solid egg die and then the different embellishments like the stripes, ric rac, etc.  There's also a stencil set for the eggs if you'd prefer to ink on the embellishments. 

I attached each egg to a Nesting Tag and topped them with little bows from the Bunny Ears die set. I used a slimline die with scallop edges to create the lacy white background for the dies. I didn't have a border handy and this worked out perfectly.

The itty bitty sentiment is from the Happy Easter Duo stamp set. I used the Subsentiments die to cut it into a label shape. That Subsentiments die never leaves my desk. I use it for cutting all different length sentiments, and because it's larger I never loose it.

I hope you find some time to play today!

Happy Easter Mug

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's way! Today I'm playing with the Pretty Pink Posh Winter Mug and playing along at Get Creative Challenges where they're having a bunny hop!

The Winter Mug die set has a new Easter Mug Additions so you can personalize it for your spring occasions. Here's some of the configurations you can create with the new die set.

I made a bunny mug by adding ears and a cute face to the mug.

I love all the detailed stitching on the pieces like the carrot, foliage, eggs and bow tie. I flipped the eye lashes down so the bunny has his eyes closed.

I added a simple sentiment from the Spring Jar set so all your attention stays focused on that cute mug.

I hope this one makes you smile and that you have some time to make today.

Spellbinders March 2023 Card Club Kit

Have you tried one of the Spellbinders club kits yet? It doesn't get easier than this! You receive a box of coordinated supplies delivered direct to you and ready to work with. Here's a peek a this month's Quick and Easy Card kit.

With the new year comes a few changes to the kit. You might notice the price is about $10 less than last year. That's because the die kit and stamp set that were included in the past will no longer be in the kit. I think this is a good idea because honestly I never really used the stamps because there are so many sentiments in the kit. I will miss the die but for the savings it seems like a good trade off.

This kit is spring themed with garden florals, butterflies and cute garden critters. The papers and colors are soft pastels in pink, purple and yellow.

I like the honeycomb print along with little hives and bees that all coordinate beautifully together.

Every collection is a little different. This time the embellishment is a baggie of purple metallic sequins.

There's also a few tags, frames and chipboard stickers. I like to pair the elements that are similarly themed like the hot air balloon with the rainbow and clouds on the card below.

I paired a chipboard filmstrip frame with a flat die cut gold foil navy frame on the card below to create a focal point for the little bird on the card below.

Many of the elements in this kit have gold foil accents. If you look close you'll see the string, hearts, filmstrip, flag, and loose-leaf page all have gold foil.

If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you'll try one of the Spellbinder kits that are delivered to your front door. You'll find that they're a great value and will save you lots of time because you wont have to go shopping for all the prefect coordinating elements. A subscription for $29.50 a month provides a fabulous Quick & Easy Card Kit filled with LOTS of supplies to work with including a pattern paper pad, stickers, die cuts, and lots more.

Simple Stories Life In Bloom Collection

I know you love Simple Stories because they always have the freshest designs, with images perfect for capturing all the special memories of your life, so you can document moments captured or create new ones.

At first glance the Life in Bloom Collection is uniquely different from any of the other collections from Simple Stories because it includes one of my favorite colors… violet! When you look a little closer you’ll notice that this collection introduces new products not available previously.

This collection has three packs of paper that coordinate perfectly1including patterned paper in the Collection Kit, solids in the Basics pack, and ginghams in two sizes in the Gingham pack.

One of the new elements that has me drooling are the enamel dots. Take a closer look and you’ll see they are transparent and sparkle with glitter!

This collection also has three sets of different printed bits and pieces. One is loaded with sentiments and assorted images, the floral pack is garden fresh, and the ephemera pack includes tickets and pieces perfect for journaling.

I really love the colors that are fresh and dreamy. Paired with accent pieces in striking black the contrast is absolutely stunning!

Sentiments like “dream”, “one of a kind” and “beauty is in the everyday” are inspirational and remind us to enjoy the simple things and not take the “every day” for granted.

Explore the possibilities and celebrate the not so ordinary moments of your life with the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Life In Bloom Collection
