Love 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop - Hoppy Easter!!!

 



Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you this year, and we hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.
Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a list of Blog Hop participants. You can click on their name to go to their post or you can click the "Next Blog" button to go to the next post in line. Happy crafting! This month’s theme is Easter. 

For these pretty Easter cards, I used the Daffodil Daydream Bundle and Dies from the Mini Catalog, and the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.
I used the Scalloped Contour Dies for the labels, and used the Brushed Brass Butterflies and Polished Dots embellishments. The cardstock is Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz.




As a hobbyist Stampin' Up! demonstrator and papercrafter, I very much enjoy sharing my projects and sending cards to my book club ladies, special friends and favorite family members.  (Yes, I DO have favorites!)

Thank you for "hopping" by!!

In the Wild

I will admit I wasn’t crazy about the In the Wild DSP, but as part of my efforts to get ALL the current catalog’s DSP used up, I dug in and found inspiration from Chelsea Christensen. I’m really happy with these, and I love this little “funfold mini streamline” card.
