Easter Bunny

This fun Easter card is going in the mail today to my precious little bunny, Beckett! Wish I could be out finding Easter eggs with him on Sunday!!

My 5 x 7 card was created with die cuts made with Spellbinders Floral Bunny Basket and Rainboot Bouquet dies. The sentiment is from Jesus Paid It All by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

Bluebonnet Prayers

With only a few short weeks left of fields of bluebonnets here in Texas, I have chosen to feature them again this week on my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design. The images I have used come from Bluebonnets, Trees, Rolling Hills, and Trees. I pulled the sentiments from Watercolor Prayers and an old retired set called Ribbons with a Cause.

Happy 80th

This die cut design was created for a dear friend who is celebrating his 80th birthday this week. Wood working is one of his many skills so I knew I wanted to use Spellbinders All the Tools dies by Nancy McCabe. Also from Spellbinders are the Jersey Numbers. The happy die is by Altenew and the th was cut using Alphanumeric 3/4 inch lower case letters by Sizzix.

I used a woodgrain embossing folder by the Paper Studio to create the textured background.

Polka Dot Boots to Welcome Spring

I have been collecting the Spellbinders Large and Small Dies of the Month for about 6 months now, but haven't taken the time to create and post with most of them. Hopefully that is about to change. I need to stop collecting and organizing and get to creating instead.

This card uses Rain Boot Bouquet (small die for March 2024) and some flowers from Floral Bunny Basket (large die for March 2024). The sentiment I paired with them is from Heartfelt Thoughts by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

Spring in Texas

I warned you last week that you would be seeing Texas bluebonnets on this post since they are beginning their annual appearance along the highways and byways of Texas. I am so thrilled that I will be making a road trip or two in the coming weeks and get to experience the beauty of Texas wildflowers. The beauty absolutely takes your breath away!!

Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design features images from Trees, Tree Friends, Honey Bunny, and Bluebonnets. This slimline design is made on a white panel where I stamped the tree, stone path, grass, and sentiment. I then added the SVG cut bunny and bluebonnets in the foreground.
