When I think spring is coming, I usually get excited for sunshine to brighten up dreary Indiana. 
But right now I have Easter and butterflies on my mind.  Even though I am glad winter is coming to an end, I am sad Sale-A-Bration is also coming to an end, so I had to make a few projects using Sale-A-Bration freebies before they are gone for good!  I think the the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set and Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper are the epitome of spring! 
Picture
For the Honeycomb card, I used Shimmery White cardstock for the background matted on Hello Honey Cardstock.  Then, I used Aqua Painters to paint Watermelon Wonder ink as the background.  The chick was stamped in StazOn ink on Watercolor Paper, then painted Daffodil Delight with Aqua Painters, and then cut out with Snips and adhered over the background.  The white Honeycomb Embellishment was sprayed yellow with a Spritzer filled with Daffodil Delight ink refill.  This is not the easiest technique for the sake of messiness, but it sure looks cute when finished!

The coordinating treat was created with Blushing Bride Cardstock and the Fry Box Bigz L Die run through the Big Shot and adhered with Fast Fuse Adhesive.  I ran the Perfectly Artistic DSP through as well and then cut out the back and front pieces to layer over the more sturdy cardstock.  I then cut two pieces of Mint Macaroon cardstock with the Fringe Scissors to create some grass.  The eggs I bought at Kroger and filled a 4x6 bag, tied with Island Indigo ribbon to match the candy.  The Hello Honeycomb chick was stamped in Smoky Slate ink and cut out with to attach to the front. 

And because I used some Island Indigo to offset the pastels, I wanted to create a bolder butterfly look using that color.  I stamped some Thick Whisper White cardstock with the Swallowtail stamp in Island Indigo.  Then, I used the Butterfly Thinlits in the Big Shot to get the second butterfly in Old Olive.  The last butterfly was made using old DSP in Smoky Slate color, stamped with a greeting from the And Many More stamp set.

I hope you liked my projects!  Don't forget to participate in the giveaway!

Stampin Friends Christmas Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Christmas Hop!
If you just arrived from Deana’s blog, thank you for continuing with the hop!
This month we are excited to have three awesome Guest Hoppers to check out:

I think Christmas is my favorite holiday, mainly because it celebrates the birth of my Savior (oh, and because I love sending cards!).  I was so excited to use my new products from the pre-order for the Occasions Catalog (starting January 5), that I tried to tweak the Botanical Gardens suite into a Christmas card.  Originally, this set (pictured right) coordinates with Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, and Whisper White.  But I just went for the traditional Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Whisper White and Delightful Dijon to make it look more Christmas-y, paired with the Wondrous Wreath stamp set (below).

Picture
And while I am excited for the new Occasions Catalog to kick-off, I am sad to see the current Holiday Catalog retire. (only a few more days to get products before they are gone!)  Thankfully, some of my favorite bundles (like Peaceful Pines and Snow Place) are staying around longer. 
Anyhow, last month, the Creative Crafting group at my church made our versions of the wooden tree display seen on the cover of the Holiday Catalog (pictured right).
Picture
My friend's husband cut the wood for all of us and she gathered a bunch of supplies for us to to decorate the tree.  I used some current and some retired products to decorate mine and added five clothespins, perfect to display cards for my upcoming class, or to use as a display at my craft fair booths, or just to showcase favorite cards we receive from family and friends (thanks, Carol and Tricia!).

I hope you enjoyed my projects!  Merry Christmas!

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays!   I love this "FaBOOlous" greeting from the stamp set Six Sayings, available only for those who host a Workshop.    The moon and trees have been embossed with clear embossing powder.  And you know how much I love washi tape!

As for me, this is my first blog hop, so I am excited to participate! 
I love summer, so I am a little slow to embrace fall.  So much so, I didn't even place my order from the Holiday Catalog until just a few days ago!  As a result, my blog will be using some oldies (but goodies!).

  Here’s my Everything Fall Card:
