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.

Watch the replay here:

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!

This was the card I created this week on my Facebook Live. You can find all my facebook live recordings on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page.
This card features the wonderful Potted Geranium Bundle – we all agreed that geraniums make us feel happy – they are so cheerful! The beauty of this bundle of course is that you can make your geraniums in your favorite color!

Here is the recording of the Facebook Live: Whether you are watching the replay or the recording via my youtube channel, please leave a comment and subscribe! Your name will be entered for a drawing of the projects I create – winners get a project mailed to them!

I used the Split Textures dies – they are “stand alone” dies from our new Annual Catalog, meaning they don’t coordinate with any particular stamp set- instead they coordinate with many stamp sets! I thought this die looked like a trellis – with pots of geraniums in front ! With just a few stamps, and the coordinating Geranium dies, this card goes together quickly – the stamp set is a two step one – and I explain that in the recording of the Facebook Live! Enjoy!

This was the card I created this week on my Facebook Live. You can find all my facebook live recordings on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page. This features the Nature’s Prints bundle – one that is so beautiful! I have created several cards with this set, using the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper – in beautiful blues and gray tones – but I wanted to switch it up for today’s Live and use black and white.

Here is the recording of the Facebook Live: Whether you are watching the replay or the recording via my youtube channel, please leave a comment and subscribe! Your name will be entered for a drawing of the projects I create – winners get a project mailed to them!

I used a Thick Basic White card base and then added a layer of vellum – that I had embossed with the Fern Embossing Folder. I placed all of the various die cuts – the wreath, the “sprigs” and the stamped images (also die cut) on top of the vellum. I used glue dots to hold all of the die cuts together to create a focal point – and positioned them to the back of the word label with dimensionals. I also added a small piece of gingham ribbon – also in black and white!

To finish the card, I added quite a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to add some shimmer. I added a small strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the inside of the card and also on the flap of an envelope. I love this DSP – and it seemed to coordinate perfectly with the color scheme I used for my card.
Thanks for stopping by today!
