Easter - it's a Bloomin' Miracle!

I treasure this time of year - the Easter Resurrection miracle means so much to me!  I CASEd this card design from Mary Fish - but I used the "Miracles Happen" sentiment instead to represent the miracle of Easter.

Just a touch of Silver Dazzling Details and these flowers and bitty butterfly are dressed in their Easter finery!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Bloomin' Marvelous (SAB)
Ink:  Summer Starfruit, Sahara Sand, Basic Gray
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand

Hooray for A Round Array!

I received my order from Mr. Brown last night - yay!  Christmas in . . . March!  I knew I wanted to use 'A Round Array' to make thank-you tags/bookmarks for my CLOclub members, so I put the image stickers on the stamps right away and got busy.

BTW, if you want to see a really effective way to apply your image stickers to eliminate air bubbles and help your stamps stick to the clear blocks way better, take a look on my Videos page for the video called "Clear-Mount Stamps - best way to apply image stickers".

Here's what I came up with - simple, but hopefully useful and creatively inspiring.  Love this new stamp set!

I made 3 for the girls in my small group at church, too - I'll put Easter candy with theirs!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  A Round Array
Ink:  Island Indigo
Paper:  Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo, Pool Party
Extras:  Two Tags Bigz die, Scallop Circle punches in 1-3/4", 1-1/4" and 7/8", Dimensionals
Inspired by:  me!

Purchase the Stampin’ Up! Supplies to make this project at my ONLINE STORE.

This cute stamp set is available on its own or BUNDLED with the 7/8" Scallop Punch for 15% off everything - what a deal!

If you ordered during Sale-a-Bration - or even a really long long time ago - be sure to set aside some time and play with your crafting toys. Even a simple creation is sure to brighten up someone's day - and leave you feeling warm inside, too.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Easter, Everybunny!

Easter is finally coming soon!  All this wintery weather has gotten me to forget that!  This little dudette makes a sweet Easter greeter.  I made this card at a DOstamping class in February, and I really like how it turned out!

The glittery look comes from what Dawn Olchefske calls the Faux Diamond Dust technique.  It's pretty easy with Versamark ink and Iridescent Ice embossing powder!  And the raised, embossed design is gently sponged with Pool Party ink.

And the sweet little tulle flowers start out ivory and can be colored any shade you wish!  Just use a marker, blend with a blender pen, and attach with Gluedots.  I made my really blue - but you can use less marker to just barely tint the edges.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Everybunny
Ink:  StazOn Jet Black, Versamark, Pool Party/Pretty in Pink/Daffodil Delight markers
Paper: Pool Party, Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Extras:  Flower Trim,  Bird punch, Modern Label punch, Ovals framelits, Elegant Bouquet TIEF, Iridescent Ice embossing powder, sponge daubers, blender pens
Inspired by:  Dawn Olchefske

Sycamore Street ... with a Twist!

Whew!  Did you enjoy Sale-a-Bration?  I know I did - and I can hardly wait for my last SAB order to arrive this week!  Here's a card designed by Dawn Olchefske that I made at a DOstamping class with SAB papers, the Sycamore Street DSP pack - but you could make it with any papers you have on hand. I love the springy colors - we need all the help we can get, right?!

The fun of this card is that it has an unusual 'twist' to it!  You might remember that I made Twist Fold cards for my family Christmas card last December.  I love this card design - unique and super easy!  You can find great directions from both Robin Messenheimer and Dawn Olchefske, so pop on over to their blogs to see how it's done!

The accent is just made with punches, buttons, and Baker's Twine - again, super easy!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  none - can you believe it?!
Ink:  none
Paper:  Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Summer Starfruit, Island Indigo, Whisper White
Extras:  Blossom punch, 1-1/4" Scallop punch, Pool Party Button (SAB), Pool Party Baker's Twine

Are you stamping with your new FREE Sale-a-Bration stamp sets?  If not, get 'em out and start creating! And if you don't have any yet, don't wait too long!  SAB ends this Friday, March 22nd!  This card is made with the awesome Sale-a-Bration set called Bloomin' Marvelous.  It was designed by Dawn Olchefske and I made it at her DOstamping card class in February.

The really unique thing about this card is that we used the Delicate Details Lace Tape to make this design on a Whisper White cardstock strip.  Just stick the Lace Tape to the strip, sponge over it thoroughly, carefully remove the Tape, and attach the new lacey strip to your card.  Pretty cool, huh?!

So little time left to Sale-a-Brate with FREE stuff from Stampin' Up!  I hope you can still get in on the fun!  Here's a card we made last night at our CLOclub meeting - it uses the Madison Avenue stamp set and the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper.  We had fun creating this one!

The little 4-leaf punch from the Punch Pack fits perfectly in the stamped image! And the paper had the same motif - love it!

I popped up the banner with Dimensionals and attached the button with a Gluedot.

And a little touch for the inside ...
