Hello My friend!

Hello there and happy Easter weekend stamping friends. I thought I'd pop in real quick to share a card I've made using one of the Anniversary stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs from the Sentiments Collection 2. I also used one of the April release stamps called Romantic Floral Designs, which fits the Spellbinders labels 26 dies perfectly,  so this is a little sneak peek on what's to come on Monday 1.April!  

Hello My Friend

Recipe:

Paper: PTI Aqua Mist, Sweet Blush, Vintage Cream, Recollections Kraft corrugated card base, DP Prima Fairy Belle

Well, this is it for my sneak peek on what's to come on Monday. Please, make sure that you will stop by on Monday to see the entire April release and all of the wonderful creations the Breadsticks have come up with. 


Thanks so very much for stopping by. I pray that each and every one of you will have a blessed and fun Easter weekend. 

My girls are in our Annual Easter play at church, so we will be at church most of the day, but that is quite alright, as Christ is the real reason for this holiday! 

Hugs and blessings,

Easter Branch...

Hello and good Thursday morning sweet stamping friends! I have a card to share with you today that I have made using the "Happy Spring" stamp set by Our Daily Bread Designs. As some of you know I was born and raised in Germany and we have this tradition of having some Pussy Willow branches in a tall vase that we decorate with either real eggs that have been blown out and decorated, or using pretty decorated paper mache eggs that are hung from those Pussy Willow branches. So when I saw this stamp set I thought of those memories and wanted to see if I could sort of put this idea into a card. Well, since the egg is quite a big larger than what would work for the size of the branch, I decided to try out shrink plastic. It worked pretty well, but I only had clear shrink plastic on hand so my eggs are translucent, but other than that I am very happy, LOL!

Easter  Love

Recipe:

Paper:  PTI Vintage Cream, Harvest Gold, DP BoBunny Country Garden Collection

Stamps: ODBD Happy Spring

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, StazOn Timber Brown, Copics

Accessories: Spellbinders Petite Ovals Large, Labels 17, shrink plastic, ZVA Creative pearl flourish, silk ribbon, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, floss, dimensional snow pen

Happy Spring

I know this is a pretty simple card from what I usually do, but I wanted to just focus on the simple beauty of the Pussy Willow branches and those cute little eggs hanging from them.

If you have a minute I'd like to know what you think,

As always, thanks so very much for stopping by. Have a blessed and super creative day!

Hugs,

Faith is........

Hello and happy Hump day! I hope all of you are well today and enjoying your day. I am here to share a sweet little gift idea with you.

I simply pulled one of those frames out, some yummy and absolutely beautiful Prima Fairy Belle paper and went to town using one of Our Daily Bread Designs Anniversary sets called Quote Collection 3 and voila, I had a small gift.

Hello and good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I am popping in real quick to share a fun Easter card with you all. For this card I have used one of the Our Daily Bread Designs  1.March release stamp sets called "Happy Spring". Last year I bought this cute little Cheery Lynn Designs Easter Basket die called "Spring Basket 1" and really had not used it. So when i was sitting there trying to come up with a card, I remembered and just went for it. It is the perfect size for the egg stamp, which is part of the "Happy Spring" stamp set from the March release. Have a look and see for yourself.

Easter Basket

Recipe:

Paper: PTI White, Haiian Shores, Fine Linen, Aqua Mist, Sweet Blush, DP Making Memories Hoppy Easter

Stamps: ODBD Happy Spring

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, VersaFine Onyx Black, coloring medium Copics

Accessories: Cheery Lynn Designs Spring Basket 1, Spellbinders Decorative Ovals, Fancy Tags Two, Cheery Lynn Designs, Small Exotic Butterflies, pink silk ribbon, Mulberry rose in pink, Recollections half pearls, ribbon (to thread through the basket handle), Stickles, fibers (for the nest)

What do you think? Isn't this basket just perfect for those eggs? If you have a minute I'd like to hear from you.

It has been a while since I've played in the Shining the Light Challenge so since this week the theme is "Spring has Sprung" I think I will enter it. ;D;D

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Have a blessed and super creative day!

Hugs,

Hello stamping friends! Today I have a yummy tag to share with you. Have you seen the Our Daily Bread Designs March Release yet?

and this is what I came up with

Especially For You
