Hello to you! I hope you are well, staying safe and staying busy. This might be a great time to get some crafting done. With Easter coming up quickly this weekend I thought I’d share a couple of projects that I made this week. You can see these projects on my Facebook Live from April 6, 2020 – you can watch that here – https://www.facebook.com/325026102188/videos/1368024350047514/
In past years we have had big family events for Easter – sometimes with 35 people at our house. The past couple of years we haven’t done that and this year it will just be Greg and I. I guess it will be just like any other day but I thought I’d make a couple of little treats for the table and I may take some to the neighbors and I’m making cards to send to our family. So let me show you:
Easter Card
This idea came from the back of the Jan-June Mini catalog and I used stamp sets and dies that I already had on hand. The bunnies are colored with Stampin’ Blends – Crumb Cake light and Petal Pink light. The grass die cut was cut into two pieces and trimmed to fit inside the stitching on the Stitched So Sweetly rectangle die. Then I glued them on top of each other and added the bunnies with dimensionals. If you want the grass to look more like grass you can trim off the cat tails but I didn’t want to take the time to do that.

Bunny Treat
I saw this little bunny treat shared online and it is so quick an easy to make with strips of Designer Series Paper. Wrap a hershey nugget or similar candy to go inside the bunny shape. They would make cute little treats to put at the table on Sunday. I’ve made some with the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper and with the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.

#149100 Perennial Essence Designer Series paper
#102300 Bone Folder

Spring Umbrella Cone
I made a little umbrella cone project as an alternate idea for the March 2020 – No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin kit. My original project used one of the envelopes to create the cone and then added candy and a tag using supplies from the kit. I decided to make another one using regular supplies that I had on hand. The Daisy punch can be used to make a bunny head and the balloon punch can be used to make eggs. To create the cone – trace a plate on a piece of 6×6 Designer Series paper.

My classes will be a little different for the time being. At the end of March I tried a quick call to go – it was kind of a last minute thing. I’m working on a class to go – or class by mail – not sure what to call it yet. It will feature the new Ornate Garden Suite. I’ll share more about that soon.
Easter is approaching so quickly! I really haven’t done any creating for it at all. I normally have my extended family over and I make them handmade invitations but this year it snuck up on me and I didn’t get any made in time – so I had to do an evite – I’m so sad.
I did create this card for my Stamp Club this month. I decided to use the Garden Girl stamp set with the cute little bunny. And the Springtime Foils Designer Series Specialty Paper from Sale-A-Bration. Sale-A-Bration is coming to and end – it will be here before we know it right there with Easter!
The Springtime Foils Specialty Paper is one of the Free Choices during Sale-A-Bration – you just need a $50 order and you can get the full pack. I used the stripes for my card and this paper works so beautifully with our Stampin’ Blends. I used the Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Blends to color in the stripes in between the silver printed stripes. It’s subtle but pretty. It would be fun to do bright colored stripes – and even cut the paper into egg shapes.
The bunny is stamped with Memento Black ink on Whisper White card stock – I did some coloring with my Smoky Slate Blends and cut him out. The fence is stamped in Crumb Cake ink and colored in with the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. Then add the grass in Wild Wasabi and die cut with a Stitched Circle. Behind it is a Wild Wasabi scalloped circle cut from the Layering Circles Frameltis dies.
I tied some Silver Bakers Twine around the foil layer before adhering it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the front of my card. The small Happy Easter is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.
I “hop” you enjoyed this card. Thanks for stopping by.
Easter is quickly approaching and this will be the first one where I won’t have any of my three boys here with us. No nieces or nephew around either. No little kids. It’s going to be a grown up Easter lunch. I’m also not hosting this year – we will be going to Greg’s cousin’s on Sunday instead. So even though I didn’t need any invitations or treats for Easter baskets I did create a few Easter things this year. I previously shared the little box with the chocolate carrot – now here is a bunny card. I actually made two version using slightly different colors.
This is the second one I made using Pumpkin Pie card stock and Peekaboo Peach ribbon. It matched the little box.
This was actually the first one I created and it uses So Saffron for his hat and a Mint Macaron bow.
Here are some tips for these cards:
The base is Thick Whisper White card stock cut to 3″ wide.
Stamp with the Hardwood background stamp using Sahara Sand ink – but stamp off once on your grid paper so that it’s really light.
The hat is a 3″ square also stamped with the Hardwood stamp and glued to the top of the card.
The brim of the hat is a 4-1/4″ strip, stamped and put on with dimensionals. This makes your card 4-1/4″ wide and still fits in a medium sized envelope.
I used the Basket Bunch stamp set to stamp his whiskers – its the flower stem – i just inked half of it and stamped three time on each side of a hand drawn mouth
Eyes are from the Basket Builder Framelit dies – it’s the small leaf die.
Nose is the tip of the Medium star punch.
Ears are from the Basket Builder Framelit dies – it’s the long leaf die. And then hand drew with a marker for the inside of the ears.
Add a bow with a glue dot.
A fun card that goes along with some of the other “pallet” cards I’ve made in the past.
The retiring list is now out – be sure to shop online for your favorites – including this Basket Bunch set and dies – they are retiring!! SHOP NOW.
Hello! I created this cute project for Easter and decided to make a video to show how I made it. It’s not perfect – in fact I didn’t do any editing on the video at all – so sorry about the little outburst from the dogs in the middle. Hopefully I explained it enough so that it makes sense to everyone. Below I’ll include a list of the supplies that I used.
I had this project in my mind because of the little carrot in the Basket Bunch stamp set. Every Easter I buy these little chocolate carrots and wanted to make something combining them with the stamp set. I almost got upset when I couldn’t find the chocolate carrots at the store – I though oh no I finally have an idea and they have stopped making them! But I found them at my grocery store and when I went back yesterday they had even more than the first time I went. Anyway here is my little project –
I used part of the packaging that the candy comes in – it holds the carrot inside my little box. I explain that in the video but here are a few photos too.
Here is the video for you – I hope you’ll take a look and let me know what you think.

These are fun little treats for Easter that you can make with just a bunch of your punches. I’m working on a bunch of them this morning to put out on my tables for tomorrow. I’ll have 29 here for Easter lunch – 25 are family and 4 are family friends. Only 2 younger ones that will be hunting eggs – they will have a bunch – I filled up all the plastic eggs that I had in my Easter stuff.
Here are the pieces I used for these cuties:
body is 2-1/2″ Circle punch – plus the treat cup filled with jelly beans
head is 1-3/4″ Circle punch
Ears are the Large Oval punch – sponged with Blushing Bride ink in center and the edges
nose is heart from the Owl punch
eyes are tiny circles from the Owl punch
q-tip dipped in Blushing Bride ink for the cheeks
Whiskers drawn on with Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker
mouth drawn on with Raspberry Ripple Stampin’ Write Marker
bow is Raspberry Ripple ribbon and the flower is the little Dahlia
I use the multi purpose liquid glue and my tiny craft tweezers to assemble.
This project is so cute! I saw it on Martha Inchley’s blog. They were really easy to make.
A cute little bunny bag made from our Mini Muslin Bags. The hardest part of this project is taking the seam out of the bag. I used my paper snips to carefully snip the seam stitching and then pulled it all out. That makes the bag taller so you can create the ears. You also need to pull the cord out because you’ll use that to tie the bag shut after you fill it up.
Here are all the pieces – the muslin bag, after the seam is ripped out – cut a “V” in the top to create the ears. I made my stencils out of the thin card board that comes in our Designer Paper packs – I like to use that for creating templates and stencils since it is more durable than just a piece of card stock.
For the bunny nose I punched the Triangle punch. I used Strawberry Slush and a sponge Dauber to make the nose.
For the ear stencil I wanted a long skinny oval and we don’t have a punch like that. I looked through my framelits and found that the Word Bubbles had a long skinny oval – the only problem was that it has the little tail to make it a word bubble so I couldn’t really use it to cut my stencil since I didn’t want the tail on it. But I did decide that I could just trace it and hand cut it out. It’s not perfect but it worked for the ears on my bunny.
I drew on the mouth and the eyes are Basic Black Candy Dots. I did use tombo glue to attach the eyes – that’s what Martha said she did to make sure they stayed on so I figured that was good advice and did the same.
I filled my bag with Hershey Kisses and then tied it shut right at the base of the ears. Total Cuteness!
I was actually looking through my Easter pins on Pinterest and had pinned a project just like this one it just wasn’t Stampin’ Up! products and I hadn’t taken the time to make any last year. So when I saw the ones that Martha made with all Stampin’ up! products I was thrilled!
I hope you like it. Happy Easter!
