Easter Cards

Before I share my On Stage swaps, I would like to share what my Easter cards. I enjoy making Easter cards and enclosing gift cards for my adult children.  The ducks were for my daughter and my son's girlfriend.  They were so much fun to color.  I am trying to use my Stampin" Up! Blends more and my proficiency is improving!







 The rabbit reminds me of Peter Rabbit and this card went to my son.  He and his girlfriend got Starbucks gift cards and my daughter got a Dunkin card.  I will be very sad when the gingham DSP retires with the Occasion's catalog in June.  I guess a good substitute will be the Buffalo Check stamp.  At least I will be able to make it in any color!

On Stage Atlantic City 2019

This past weekend I traveled to Atlantic City with my downline to attend Stampin' Up!'s On Stage.  We saw lots of new product suites and had the opportunity to play with new stamp sets!  We even got the new catalog.  This photo is with my tablemates who were from Maryland and New York state.  I am in the middle.  I made 2 different swaps which I will share  with you soon.  I also got 20 birthday and thank you cards.

Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder

Unfortunately I needed a bereavement card.  My former principal just lost his mother after a long struggle with Alzheimer's disease.  This card was simple to make yet elegant and understated.  This embossing folder is very thick and heavy.  The trick to get a good embossed effect is to lightly mist the paper with water then run it through the Big Shot.

Supplies:
Stamp Set- Sincere Salutattions (retired)
Paper- WW, Crumb Cake
Accessories- Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder, white ribbon, Everyday Label Punch
