Happy April!
First up is a sympathy card I made to have on hand in case one is needed. It's the only one in my stash at the moment.
I have the Stampin' Up! Painted Lavender stamp set, but this time used a new die set from Memory Box called Lavender Bouquet. As usual I did not think to use sticky back paper before die cutting, so used my green glue to glue the pieces. It wasn't easy, but it worked out ok. Senior moments coming too often these days. LOL Because this die set had its first outing, I am adding this card to NBUS #61.
My card base is Gina K and is embossed with my retired SU/Sizzix folder called Brick Wall. Leftover cardstock for the flowers and stems arealso SU, Gorgeous Grape and green that I cannot recall its name. The vase holding the stems is not really a vase, but a toadstool from The Greetery's BotaniCut Toadstool Gardens die set. Snippets of tan are used for that and highlighting the sentiment from retired SU Peaceful Moments stamp set. Because of all the snippets used, I am also entering this card in the Snippets Playground #477.
Next up are two of the Easter cards I made for my grandkids who are away at college. I know they both like getting mail.
This Easter Gnome is from Simon Says Stamp. I stamped and cut him out of white cardstock and colored with SU Blends. Stamped the sentiment from this same set onto a square of white making this a simple guy card. My cardbase is SU Basic Black.The card on the right used an unloved set called Bunny Border from Impression Obsession. The Happy Easter is a 2002 stamp from SU all put on a nice piece of the Gorgeous Grape cardstock done with SU Fancy Fan embossing folder.
Spring seems to be here and my allergies attest to that! But am going to a spring flower show next weekend showcasing tulips, Fun. 🌷🌷
Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.
Cute Easter cards

All three cards are fantastic, Jeanne! I'm sure the kids loved their fun Easter cards and I'm sure loving that sympathy design! I think it's genius how you used the upside down toadstool for your vase! I have those dies, so thank you for the idea and thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hope the flower show was fun! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI agree Jeanne that sympathy cards are best made when you don't need them. This one is lovely with its embossed background and that peaceful potted lavender image - and how clever to use the mushroom head for the pot! Your Easter cards are lovely too :) Hope the allergies aren't too bad this year - you are brave to go to a flower show!! Vicky x
