 
Hi there sweet friends! Today I’m blogging both here and on the Waltzingmouse Design Team blog. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make something totally fun for Easter. Yes, it involves pink, yes it involves bunnies, yes it involves candy….my work is done! So here on my blog I’m showing the card I made for my ensemble. I say ensemble because I made something really sweet and easy to match the card. That something (and pattern) is over on the Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team Blog – for the specific post, click HERE.
So for my card I stacked die templates like crazy. The bottom layer of dies is Spellbinders A2 Divine Eloquence and on top of that I stacked Spellbinders A2 Tranquil Moments. I’m using the same speckled design paper and pink ruffled ribbon as for my matching item. The card uses one of my favorite Waltzingmouse Stamps sets called A Good Egg. The egg shape and banner were cut out using Waltzingmouse Cut Files in A Good Egg Bundle – all the egg shapes are in the stamp set so you can fussy cut too!
Thanks so much for stopping by . . . don’t forget to pop over to Waltzingmouse Team Talk Blog. While you’re over there don’t forget to download the free pattern with instructions so you can make your own :-)
Today I want to share some news about an important date that’s coming but first a sympathy card to add to your portfolio. I always say easy and truly this card was less than an hour from concept to finish. That means, when you go to make it, it will be lickety split. This puts me a card ahead in my stash – a sad occasion to be ready for but I have to admit that sometimes the weight of the occasion puts a damper on my creativity hence the inspiration to work ahead. The simplicity of this card centers around this gorgeous flower from the $1.00 bin at Michaels this week. The flower is huge so I divided it in half by pulling out the center to use later — that left me this large center which is coincidentally large enough to nestle a sentiment. For the card background I’m using JustRite Papercraft Baroque Frame Background and small stackable sentiments from Magnolia Vintage Labels Seven.
To highlight the gold embossing on the background and make the flower pop, I used Spellbinder Luscious Labels One cut with gold foil. The inside of the flower was large enough to cradle Spellbinders Decorative Labels Thirty Four and my sentiment stamped on Spellbinders Labels Thirty Four. I finished off with a double bow and a skinny loopy bow on top. Hint: I used triple layers of foam tape to raise the sentiment up level with the petals of the flower. Whew, that’s it!
An Important Date is Coming!!
You will be thrilled to know… that all the new die templates by Spellbinders are getting ready to ship!! I know, right?!! Well, that’s *definitely* cause for a celebration so please promise me you’ll be here on Monday, March 31st, and if you peek you’ll see my post up before 12:00am…. Now that your dies are being put in the mail, I want you to be ready for your next project. That means I’ll have a large step-by-step tutorial for you to break those new dies in. It’s an easy project similar to those you all always request but the wonderful thing is – it will show you yet another way to use those new dies!! It will be a week of inspiration so clear your desk :-) What celebration would be complete without a contest? Yep! Bring it!! You can win dies, so get yourself over here on March 31st!!
I love you guys and can’t wait for you to see what I’ve been working on for you!! Eeeeek, I’m so excited!!! Three more sleeps!!
Greetings friends! If I said the word “Spring” would you that help you understand where my mind has been? Yes, you are probably there too, so ready for spring!! Today I’m sharing a pastel card (big surprise there) that matches the kind of mood I’m in. My post is short today, but this card is so very simple – no need for me to drone on. The top layer is made using Spellbinders Classic Oval LG and the layer below that – delicate and pink is made using Spellbinders Wonderful Locket. The final layer in all its frilly glory is four cuts of Spellbinders Antique Corner arranged so that the point of all four corners meets in the middle. That’s it!!
I’m using a sentiment from Quietfire Design from the Garden Delights set . . . so sweet!
Thanks so much for stopping by! After a little over a week off (taking care of things at home), I’ll have some more cards to show this week!

Gorgeous I mean gorgeous! I love it, you always do a wonderful job adding all of the dies together. I have a hard time looking at them and saying wow those pieces would look great together, so I have to just save all your cards and go back and put the dies you use down so I can remember when I get ready to make them for my self or friend. Thanks for having such an awesome creative brain. You are my favorite designer to follow.
This is SO SWEET Becca! :) I love bunnies! They ALWAYS make me smile!
Such a pretty card, Becca!
Hugs

I think one word describes this card and that is delicate. The colour, thedie cutting, the stamps and the paper. I just love everythjng about it x
Becca, your card is fabulous! I so love the pink ribbon! When I first looked at the pic, it really made the little pink dots in the background pop out at you! Very neat effect. The layering is spectacular and those bunnies just melt my heart.
I popped over to the WS blog and your basket and strawberry, I mean carrots, are out of this world amazing. It really is a versatile project. I loved seeing it decorated for Easter.
Thanks so much for sharing with us!!!
Just gorgeous and so elegant
Breathless! Your creations do that to me. What can I add that has not already been said? If there were cards to or from angels this would be one of them.

Hi Becca,
Beautiful card! So nice to see an Easter Card which is not yellow! Got nothing against yellow but we do get a lot of it at Easter! I guess it’s the daffodils, chicks etc.
Thanks for a different approach as well as a gorgeous card!
Love Myra
Lots of fu- fu for the holidays, nice job!

Becca,
Hello! I love every creation you have made! With that said, I have a question for you. Have you ever just made a simple card without the bells and whistles and displayed it here on your blog?? It would be fun to see how you developed into the expert card maker!
Thanks!
Gay Ferland
Another beautiful and elegant card! Love the basket too! What a great gift for a special someone for Easter.
