Hi There, Stampers! Here's the last of my Easter Cards. It's another card that I made with leftover paper from the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit, Sweet Springtime. Even if you didn't get the kit, there's still refills left in the Stampin' Up! Online Store (just click the underlined blue link). Where Did Those Papers Come From? I probably should have written this paragraph for my last article! … [Read more...] about Another Paper Pumpkin Easter Card – Use Those Scraps!

An Easter Card from Paper Pumpkin!
Hi There, Stampers! Today's card is not one you're going to be able to make with the exact papers - unless you have some left over from the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit OR you buy the Sweet Springtime Paper Pumpkin Refill Kit. That kit has all the papers that I used for this card as well as the card that you'll see in my next article. But you don't have to use those papers to make this … [Read more...] about An Easter Card from Paper Pumpkin!
Another Easter Egg Card!
Hi There, Stampers! Here's another Easter Card that I made at the last minute. But I got it in the mail for it to arrive by Easter (this year). Yes, It's A Cracked Egg! Well, maybe "crack" isn't the correct word. But it's definitely "split."For this card I used the largest die in the Excellent Eggs Dies using a piece of Granny Apple Green paper from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series … [Read more...] about Another Easter Egg Card!
I Almost Missed Easter!
Hi There, Stampers! While I've been crazily making Easter cards for my friends and family, I almost missed sharing my cards here. I know you can tell that this blog isn't front and center with me right now. But it - and you! - are always in the back of my mind. I just need to find the time these days to spend here! Designing the Card So now that I'm here, let me tell you about this card. While … [Read more...] about I Almost Missed Easter!
Happy Easter!
Aloha, all! When it comes to celebratory events, I try to find out how one would send greetings using 'Olelo Hawaiian, or the Hawaiian language. As I don't speak the language, I have to rely on internet explanations of the meaning of words so I don't commit a faux pas. And, when it comes to wishing, "Happy Easter," I wasn't certain what I should say without stumbling. So, "Happy Easter" it … [Read more...] about Happy Easter!
It’s Easter Week!
Aloha, all! With all that's been going on in the world, with all the events being canceled or postponed, there are some things that are written in concrete on the calendar. This week will bring two such events - Passover and Easter. I definitely have participated in seders on many occasions with my Jewish friends. But I grew up in a home where we celebrated Easter. My favorite memories of … [Read more...] about It’s Easter Week!
Happy Easter!
Aloha, all! I really did do more Easter Cards than I've posted, but this one, my last one made using the set, Everybunny, makes me smile every time I look at it. I made it for my youngest grandson who, with this two sisters, has a flock of egg-laying chickens. And they love those chickens! Now, granted, their chickens are … [Read more...] about Happy Easter!
Easter Sampler!
Aloha, all! As long as I had the stamp set, Spring Sampler, out on my work table for yesterday's Stampin' Up! Only Challenge, I decided that I should use some of the Easter images in the set for my next set of Easter cards. I'm sending two of these to my older almost-teenage grandsons on the west coast Somehow I don't think that they'd … [Read more...] about Easter Sampler!
My First Easter Card of the Year!
Aloha, all! I was so very happy to see my favorite Easter Stamp set from last year - Everybunny - carry forward into the current Stampin' Up! Catalog. There are so many darling images in it, and I didn't get to use it nearly enough last year. So this year I'm starting early - and easy! Isn't thiis little girt bunny … [Read more...] about My First Easter Card of the Year!
Happy Easter, Everybunny!
Aloha, all! Once I started to work play with the Stampin' Up! stamp set, Everybunny, I just could not put it down - especially since it is nearly 90% an Easter stamp set! That is, 7 of the 8 stamps in the set are bunnies and chicks with an Easter theme. The 8th stamp - not entirely. Now that I think about it, I may have to go make a card with the … [Read more...] about Happy Easter, Everybunny!
This Really was a Stamp-a-Stack!
Aloha, all! As I shared with you yesterday, I held a Stamp-a-Stack just for myself earlier this week in an effort to make AND send out a nice number of Easter Cards. In a Stamp-a-Stack, at least the way I do them, I have two or three basic layouts and papers and card stock cut to the size of a sketch that I've made for myself. Then I stamp and mix and … [Read more...] about This Really was a Stamp-a-Stack!
