Happy Easter!

Happy Easter weekend everyone! I hope you are spending some extra time with those you love and having a restful break!

I was heartbroken to see the Large Letter Framelits on the Retiring List earlier in the week. I have used mine a tonne and see so many beautiful home decor items, cards, and scrapbooking pages made with them. They will always remain a part of my collection!! For this surprisingly-simple card all I did was cut the EASTER letters out of the Gingham Gala DSP (also retiring).

Ink: Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Stampin' Blends in Crumb Cake combo, Light Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue, Colour Lifter

Stamps: Fable Friends, Southern Serenade

Paper: Thick Whisper White, Gingham Gala DSP

Other: Grapefruit Grove twine from Nature's Twine, Large Letters Framelits, Stampin' Trimmer, Stampin' Dimensionals, Paper Snips

I stamped the cute bunny from Fable Friends in Crumb Cake on Thick Whisper White, coloured it using my Stampin' Blends, and cut it out. "Happy" is from the also-retiring Southern Serenade stamp set. FYI - I had to make my card base a bit bigger than usual to fit all the letters on the front - it measures 6 x 4.5". Three scored lines using my Stampin' Trimmer (also retiring) adds a little texture and interest to the card. 

The new Annual Catalogue will be here in just a few short weeks! We have to make room for the new products in the warehouse so it's time to be out with the old!! Stamp sets will continue to be produced until May 24 then are while supplies last. Other products including accessories, framelits, punches, etc. are while supplies last only, and don't forget to get your reinkers and extra cardstock in the retiring 2017-2019 In Colours! And yes, the Stampin' Trimmer is being replaced with a new and improved product (still in the works) and the Big Shot is also being replaced by a new and improved product. Change can be scary sometimes but things can't improve if they don't change, right?! Stampin' Up! is a very innovative company, and I'm sure the replacement tools will be fantastic and at the head of their class!

Please remember to use this month's host code of NN3VSTX6. For any order of $75 or more (before shipping and tax) placed using this host code earns you a pair of Paper Ssnips from me for FREE!! That's a value of over $13.50!

Happy Stampin' and Happy Easter!
