This and That Video

Alan and I are back from our cottage in the mountains ~ so relaxing!  I thought you might like a little more information about Stampin' Up!'s latest product line ~ This and That!  I have mine ordered but it didn't arrive while we were gone ~ maybe early next week.  When it arrives I will have lots more information for you!

If you are still wondering what the new product line - "This and That" is all about, I have a quick video for you to check out.  See the products in action and watch how easy it is to scrapbook on the go.

For more information about the new "This and That" product line, visit my blog post from March 23, below.  In the meantime, take a look......

 

Feel free to contact me with any questions.


From Carrie C @ Stampin' Up!

Oval Framelit Bunny Basket

I can’t believe how fast Easter is coming up this year!  My calendar is quickly filling up with egg hunts, classroom parties, and family dinners—so I’ve been playing with some different ideas for little favors and treats. Today, I wanted to share one of my favorites with you! 






Didn’t he turn out cute? Plus he’s really simple and quick to put together.

I had some More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper left over from Valentine’s Day projects, so I used that and Naturals Ivory Cardstock. I stamped my cardstock with the Distressed Dots Background Stamp and embossed it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder to give it some texture. After that, I used a few dies and punches to build my Easter Bunny. Here is a list of the parts you’ll need:

Body: Ovals Collection Framelits Dies (I used the fourth from the smallest)

Hands: Ovals Collection Framelits Dies (smallest oval cut in half)

Feet: Ovals Collection Framelits Dies (smallest oval cut in half)

Ears: Ovals Collection Framelits Dies (smallest oval) and Large Oval Punch

Nose: Small Heart Punch (trim off the top edge of the heart)

Eyes: Owl Punch

Whiskers: Pool Party Baker’s Twine

Egg: Small Oval Punch, Owl Punch (heart), Bitty Banners Framelits Die (banner)

Basket: Petite Purse Bigz L Die

I hope you’ll be able to use this project as you celebrate Easter and spring this year. 

Happy Easter!

Here's your pre-sneak peek look at A Round Array!  It's an adorable set that you can use for so many different occasions and if you already have the punch (released in the Spring catalog), you can order it without it!!  This set is so perfect for note cards, gift tags and simple thank you cards.

Marion's Easter Cards

Marion's Easter egg 1
Yesterday afternoon was my monthly Southern Stars meeting ~ so nice to see everyone on my demonstrator team ~ lvoely ladies!  Marion Swaim brought these cards to share ~ she has been using up her scraps making these cute Easter eggs ~ so easy & fast to make!  Line up your paper strips on scrap card stock and then use the NEW Ovals Collection Framelits Dies (#129381, page 4, Spring Catalog) to cut the scalloped oval  Thanks for sharing, Marion.

Marion also used the pretty lace that you see on both her cards ~ Delicate Details Lace Tape (#130966, page 3, Spring Catalog).  The best thing about this tape is that it is self-afhesive ~ YOU don't have to worry about how to 'glue' it down!  It comes in two different designs, 1" wide and 3/4" wide, each 3.28 ft.

Enjoy ~ and, get those Easter cards in the mail!  Hugs, Susan Elise
