More Mystery Monday Fun

I've been really enjoying following along with Sharon Armstrong's Mystery Monday stamping the past few weeks, and thought it would be fun today to share some more of the cards I have been making following Sharon's clues. 

For this card from March 20, I decided to use the Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper (retiring soon!), the Radiating Stitches dies for the circle around the greeting, Irresistible Blooms stamp set for the greeting, and the Petal Park Bundle:

For the March 27th card, I decided to use the Two-Tone Flora Suite.  I really love the designer paper in this Suite and am sad to see it retire.

On April 3rd, I decided to use Petal Park again for the fun fold card:

 

I had fun making a few more of this one with different designs from the designer paper:

Two Tone Flora One Sheet Wonder Cards

 Happy Wednesday!  You may remember that last month my SUper Friends group made some cards adapted from a fun 4 cards in 30 minutes class by Gail Ellis -- here's the link to that post.  I had a few supplies left over, and decided to try making the cards with a different stamp set for the main stamping.  This time I decided to use Two Tone Flora stamp set.  I kept the same color combo (Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, and Sahara Sand).  

There are a few last chance items on these cards -- Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede are retiring colors; the Stitchery stamp set, which seems to have already sold out; and the Stitched Greenery die, available at a discount while supplies last, was used in the background on the bottom card.   Want to see all the "Last Chance" or retiring items that are still available?  You can click here to be taken to that section of my online store.  

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Happy Easter!

 Happy Easter!  Hope you have a beautiful day!  

Popping in quickly to share some Easter cards with you.  These were very fun to make.  I used the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper (unfortunately retiring soon) for the background, and found that it really looks neat embossed with the Painted Textures Embossing Folder.  I used the Framed Florets dies to create the oval and frame, and stamped images from the retiring Daffodil Daydream stamp set in that.  The butterflies are also from Daffodil Daydream.  I stamped and die cut a bunny from the Playing in the Rain Bundle (unfortunately, temporarily unavailable as the dies have gone out of stock, but it looks like those will be back again around April 17th).  The sentiment is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit.  I tried coordinate the color of the butterfly and the bunny's jacket to the piece of designer series paper I used for the card.  

And, here they are:

Which background is your favorite?  

Please let me know if you have any questions about these!

Easter Treats!

 Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  I have been having fun creating some Easter projects, so thought it would be fun to share some of those today.  

I have had the Delicate Details Treat Boxes for a while, and finally decide to do something with them!  These boxes are currently available at a discounted price as part of the Last Chance list promotion, but are only available while supplies last, so if you like them, be sure to get them before it is too late!

The Delicate Details boxes are so beautiful as is, but I wanted to add some fun spring color to them, and found that if you add an extra sheet of Basic White card stock under the beautiful die cut pattern while you are brushing color on, you can use that to create some fun coordinating tags:

The colors used for these boxes are Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, and Pacific Point on one treat box and Mango Melody, Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo on the other one.  The egg cards were made using the Framed Florets dies.  I stamped an image from the retiring Daffodil Daydream set across the egg and added a die cut from the Brilliant Wings dies (also retiring, still available at a discount, but only while supplies last).  I attached the tags to the boxes with either Soft Succulent or Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon (both of which are also retiring, but available at a discount while supplies last), and twine from the In Color Bakers Twine pack.

I decided to make a few more of these, but changed up the colors to Polished Pink, Mango Melody and Pale Papaya.  Instead of butterflies, I used some flowers created with the Petal Park Bundle to decorate the tags:

I also used the same oval die to cut a Piece of Petal Pink card stock, which I decorated by sponging through the large die cut from the Two Tone Flora Bundle, and adding flowers made with that as well.  The ribbon is the Frayed Ribbon (also on the Last Chance List, available at a discount, while supplies last):

Last but not least, I wanted to share a bunny tag made with the bunny from the Playing in the Rain Bundle.  The tag is made with the dies from the Something Fancy Die set:

I added some Brushed Brass Butterflies to embellish the tag, and attached it to the treat with the Balmy Blue/White Variegated Ribbon.

Hope you enjoyed seeing these projects and that they inspire you to create some fun treat packaging as well!  Please let me know if you have any questions about these.  I've added links to the products I mentioned so you can see them in my online store if you would like.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
