I love the simpicity of the new Graceful Deer stamp set! It just makes me feel a sense of peace. The stamp set is large – it is designed to fill the entire card front – but I used just a part of it for my card today. I inked and stamped just part of it and then die cut the part I wanted with the Nested Essentials dies. I die cut the same size die with Poppy Parade cardstock and off set them for my card.
The background paper for this card uses the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP – don’t see it in the catalog? That’s because it is an Online Exclusive – you can see them only online in my store! The snowflakes are also an Online Exclusive.
A simple, yet pretty card!
Here is the recording of my Facebook Live –
I love the sweet bird and deer!

I wanted to share another card that I created using the adorable bunny from the Easter Bunny Bundle! If you missed my previous creation, you can see it
here.
The Easter Bunny Bundle includes the Easter Bunny Stamp Set and the Easter Bunny Punch. Item 160606 | $34.00
Hop over here to check out the Easter Bunny Stamp Set! This set includes bunny images and sentiments perfect for different project types like Easter, spring, and more! It also features different elements that you will love to use for various scenes and creative options. Build your own scene by adding the little birdy on top of a floral sprig, putting the carrot in the bunny’s paws, or placing the butterfly on a bunny’s nose. You can also use the grass or eggs images repeatedly to create a border for your card fronts. Then choose your favorite coloring technique, color these cute images, and pair with the greeting of your choice!
Here’s a look at three other products I used to create this card. They all pair together perfectly, don’t you think?

For this week’s Facebook Live, I made a Love You a Bunch Card by pairing the Thanks A Bunch Sale-a-bration Stamp Set with the Easter Bunny Bundle!
I think these two stamp sets compliment each other so well! Carrots and bunnies are a good match, right? The Thanks a Bunch set that is all about carrots has some fun word sentiments and can be earned for free with a $50 product purchase during Saleabration – which is going on now – and ends Feb. 28.

Isn’t this bunny the cutest? I stamped her in Crumb Cake ink and punched her with coordinating Easter Bunny Punch, and then dressed her up with a little Easter “corsage” of flowers and ribbon. I have fond memories of Easter when I was growing up – my grandparents would always give my sister and I corsages to wear to church on Easter morning. While this card isn’t Easter themed at all, it just brought back a fond memory of my childhood! Here’s a close up look at her:
I think she is pretty cute paired with the carrots, and the plaid Designer Series paper, and hope you agree!
