Easter Card Mash Up #3 - Easter Friends with Gingham Gala DSP

Hi friends!

Today is the 3rd mash up from my recent Easter card class. I'll be post the final card tomorrow. Are you enjoying this mash up series?

Once again the Easter Friends stamp set is mashed up. This time it's paired with the retired Gingham Gala designer series paper (DSP). 

 

RETIRED - Gingham Gala DSP

Easter Friends #157737

 

I couldn't decide which color to use so I made two cards, one in each in color. Which do you prefer - the Grapefruit Grove or the Highland Heather? Leave me a comment below and let me know!

Easter Card - Butterfly Gala with Butterfly Duet

Hi friends!

Now that daylight savings time has arrived Easter can't be far behind. A family member asked me to design Easter cards that she could make to send to family friends. My creative juices were up to the challenge!

I am sharing each of the 4 designs so you'll be inspired to use your crafting skills - and stash - to bring a little Easter fun to your family and friends!

The first design features a mix of current stamps and punches, Butterfly Gala and the Butterfly Duet punch, with a retired designer series paper (DSP), Gingham Gala, a personal favorite of mine. I found the perfect Springy/Eastery sentiment from the Timeless Tulips set.

Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Thinking of You

Hello friends!

Welcome to our April Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop focusing on products for celebrating the women in your life. If you arrived from Sandy Ward's blog, you saw her wonderful Bloom By Bloom project!

My "girly" project is a 2-fer...a card with a small gift box, both featuring Highland Heather cardstock; the floral card features Highland Heather Gingham Gala designer series paper (DSP) and the gift box, a mini pizza box, is just the right size for a gift card or other small gift.

Are you a fan of the Highland Heather color? I'd love to hear what your favorite color of the moment it is. Leave me a comment and let me know what color you're currently favoring. As you see below, Highland Heather is a current go-to for me!

The inspiration for this card came from Liz Miller; click here see her card and blog post.

Although I used several retired items to create my mini gift box, there are many current products that can be used to create a similar project--and I've listed them below. This little box came together surprising fast!
