Happy Easter to my Peeps

Happy Easter everyone!  Just a quick little easter card for you:

This was made using CTMH's tri-fold diecut cards and stamp set B1402 "My Peeps".  When you open the card one of the cute little bunnys pop out at you. The new self adhesive springs are great for adding a little surprise like this to your cards. I wanted this to be a quick card to make, so I did not color in the image on the front.  Of course, if you wanted more color you always could do so.

I hope you and yours have a very blessed Easter!

April 2012 Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

Welcome everyone to another great blog hop featuring April's stamp of the month. The set is called "You are" and it is a set of 15 stamps. If you are coming from Shirley's blog, you are on the right track. It's okay if you are starting here; just be sure to complete the circle so you don't miss any of the wonderful projects my fellow consultants have created.

I made a card this month with a masculine tone but, this set could be used so many ways.  The addition of the background stamps to the set is great and I like how it lends more texture to the card. I dry embossed and sanded the Pacifica cardstock and added some of the new "Durables" self-adhesive studs.

November Stamp of the Month Blog Hop

November has arrived and I am so happy!  I love the thought that Thanksgiving is coming.  It is my favorite holiday!  The time spent with family and the reminder of how truly blessed we are is precious. And then there is the anticipation of the approaching holiday season; a busy but, wonderful time. So welcome, as we kick off November with a new stamp of the month. The set is aptly named "Cherish the Day" and is a set of 44 stamps. This is truly a set that you could use every single day of the year. Now I hope you enjoy all the inspiration you will find on this hop.  If you are coming from Georgia's  blog, you are on the right track. It's okay if you are starting here; just be sure to complete the circle so you don't miss any of the wonderful projects my fellow consultants have created.

For November's project I made favor boxes for our Thanksgiving dinner.  To make this I used the wonderful new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. It has been one of my favorite items introduced in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. I used it to cut the box, leaves, acorn and the tag; making a cut intensive project quick and easy.  In addition to the stamp of the month, I also used "Harvest Happiness" and "Salutation Seals".

Here is a closeup of the tag made with the stamp of the month:
