Hey there! Today I'm blogging on Saturday, which hasn't been my usual lately, but I wanted to share one more Painted Seasons/Story Label Punch card with you before Sale-a-bration ends tomorrow!

This time I used Powder Pink and Pear Pizzazz as my color palette to create another card for Easter:

I simply stamped the blooms with all Powder Pink for a more formal look. No rock n' roll this time!

I didn't want the ribbon to overpower the greeting, so I cut the Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle in half to make it thinner before tying the bow and adhering with a glue dot.

I love this sentiment from the His Grace set. I may have to make some cards with it for my new daughter-in-law, Grace!

Hey there! Counting today, Sale-a-bration ends in just three days! boo! I still have a few cards created with the awesome Painted Seasons stamp set I need to share with you before you can't choose this set, bundled with the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper, anymore!

I used the same Rock n' Roll technique I used on another Painted Seasons card I shared a few days ago HERE.

I also stamped "WISHES" from the More Than Words stamp set with Highland Heather ink, then stamped "Easter" over it with black ink. More Than Words, from the Sale-a-bration Coordination flyer, will be going away on March 31st too!

The Gorgeous Grape 1/4" Mini Striped Ribbon bow and rhinestones are the perfect finishing touches to the Story Label Punched greeting!

Inside I stamped more Rock n' Rolled Painted Seasons blooms and added sentiments from the Occasions Catalog set, His Grace.

Hey there! I'm finally back to "real-time" blogging today, which means I'm typing the blog and scheduling it the night before it goes live. I think most of my "wedding-lag" is over. I was really tired on Monday. I must have been running on adrenaline all weekend. The wedding was wonderful, the bride was gorgeous, the groom was adoring, and we are all so, so happy!

Today I have a little card I created with the Fable Friends set from the Occasions Catalog and the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper you can still choose as your freebie when you place a $50 order in my online store!

I colored the bunny with my Stampin' blends after stamping him with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Crumb Cake card stock.

I stamped the greeting with Poppy Parade ink, then punched with the 1 1/8" Scalloped Circle Punch.

I finished the inside with these adorable ducklings from Fable Friends!

Hey there! Today I have an adorable little giftable created with a Stampin' Up! Mini Pizza Box and the Fable Friends set!

I love to make little gifty-type things, but I'm hesitant to give them to my grandchildren because, of course, their little hands and short attention spans are hard on paper crafts.  However, I think this Mini Pizza Box may survive even two-year-old Ivory's little hands!

I colored this little bunny with my Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. See the supply list below for the colors used.

I used three Sale-a-bration freebies on this project: Mini Pizza Boxes,  Pearlized Doilies, and Painted Seasons Designer Paper. Each one is free with a $50 product order from my online store.

Hey there stamping friends! Today is a special day for our family. We all get to worship together, celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, and then we get to spend the rest of the day enjoying being together as a family!

I've saved a last few swaps to share with you today in honor of Easter!

First here's an adorable little treat topper created by Sherri Peters. Sherri made it quick and easy with the Basket Bunch Bundle!

Next, my team member, Martha Swift, gave each of us attending OnStage Local last week this cute box that didn't need any adhesive to create!

She used the Timeless Tags Thinlets to create the medallion on top, stamping the greeting from Circle of Spring and cutting out the layers with Layering Circles Framelits. Her finishing touch was a Sweet Sugarplum Enamel Shape!

When you open the box you can really see how the unique folds help the box keep its' shape without adhesive.

Cathy Lingle, another Mam's team member, created this swap using the Easter Message set. I love the regal look she achieved with Elegant Eggplant, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Vellum, and Gold Foil!

Finally, my dear stamping customer, Diane Laur, created this easel bookmark card. I received it in the mail last week!

I love the designer paper she used. Although it is not Stampin' Up!, that's ok. I know my customers use products from other sources. It just shows how wonderfully Stampin' Up! can coordinate! Diane did use Easter Messages for the scripture reference on the front. I'm not sure where she got the inside sentiment from, but it may be computer generated. In any case, it's a wonderful card. I forgot to take a picture of the bookmark stored in the front of the card, but trust me, it's awesome too!

Well, that's all of my Easter swaps and samples for this year. Now I'm going to get off this computer and finish my prep for our Easter family celebration.

I will be back tomorrow with another Dragonfly Dreams creation. Until tomorrow, have a blessed Easter and a Stampingrox! day!

Hey there! I decorated a Clear Tiny Treat Box for Easter!

 Clear Tiny Treat Box tips:

1. Remove the clear plastic film, meant to prevent scratching during shipment.

2. Fold and pinch all scored lines.

I wrapped an 11" x 2" Pool Party strip  scored at 1 1/2", 2 1/2", 4 1/2", 6 1/2", 8 1/2", and 9 1/2", punching with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. I wrapped horizontally with a 9" x 1 3/4" strip of Falling In Love Designer Paper scored at 1 1/2", 3 1/2", 5 1/2",  and 7 1/2", finishing with a 9" x 1" Very Vanilla strip also scored at the same measurements. All were adheredl with Tear & Tape Adhesive.

I tied the top with Dapper Denim 3/8" Ruched Ribbon, adding a tag stamped with the Basket Bunch tiny eggs. I punched one end with the Scallop Tag Topper and added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter with Fine Tip Glue. I tied the tag with Very Vanilla Thick Baker's Twine.

Hey there! The fourth project for my Basket Bunch Bundle Class this weekend is a mini Easter Basket, complete with chocolate!

 Constructed from pieces cut with the Basket Builder Framelit Dies, and one additional piece of cardstock, this little basket was easy to make!

In addition to being so easy to stamp with because of the clarity, you can also bend the words just a little so they will fit inside the Duet Banner Punch!

 I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue for the assembly.

 I finished it off with a little bow tied with Melon Mambo 1/8" Stitched Ribbon. I'm in LOVE with this little basket!

You will receive full printed instructions to make this basket when you attend my class this weekend. Contact me for more details!

Hey there! Today I have another Basket Bunch card featuring the Folded Paper Frame!

When I first saw cards made with this fold, I was thought, "how did they cut that paper so perfectly?" BUT, after some "reverse engineering" with the sample I received I realized it is just a simple square of designer series paper with each corner folded into the center and then the points folded back to touch the sides! NO CUTTING AND SO EASY!

I embossed some Sweet Sugarplum In Color Envelope Paper with the Falling Petals Textured Folder, and added a piece of Whisper White Thick Baker's Twine tied in a bow. I tied a knot in the end of each end and then frayed it using a Paper-Piercing Tool.

I used a phrase from the Sale-a-bration set, So Very Much, on the inside. Only a few more days left before Sale-a-bration will be over!
