My new favorite set is Cute Fruit--the name just says it all!  It has these great smiley faces that I will be using on many of my cards.  It is in the Beginner's Brochure on page 7 (below).  Clicking on the brochure image on the right side of this page to see the full brochure.

Here are the note cards that I made with this set and the new 2020-2022 in-colors.  These cards are the "take and makes" for my new catalog drive and pick-up event this weekend, June 13th and 14th.  Please go to my blog post from June 4th to check out all of the details!

And here is a closer look at each card.

All of these cards use the whisper white note cards and envelopes plus the In Color 6x6" 2020-2022 DSP.  So much cuteness :)  Recipes are as follows:

1. Pineapple Card
   • Whisper White cardstock 2 x 3 1/4"
   • Bumblebee cardstock 3 1/4 x  3/4"
   • DSP 2 x 3 1/4" (note: to save paper, you can make it 2 x3", then cut it in half so that there is a gap under the pineapple which you don't see; this is how I cut the "take and make" version)
   • Ink: Bumblebee, Just Jade, Tuxedo Black
2. Banana Card
   • Whisper White cardstock 2 x 2"
   • Basic Black cardstock 2 1/8 x 2 1/8"

Happy May!  Have you been finding more time for crafting these last six weeks?  I spent some time in my craft room this weekend making birthday and mother's day cards using the Bonanza Buddies stamp set.  Sadly, it is on the retired list, so after June 2nd it will no longer be available.  Yikes, get it while you can!

Birthday Cards

To create the Koala, it involves 2 step stamping--one for the body and 1 for the face.  For precise placement, I set-up the images on the stamparatus, one plate for the body, and one plate for the face and balloon strings.  I stamped the hat separately.  The Birthday Bonanza DSP really dressed up the card and kept the layout simple.  Happy birthday!

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: Bonanza Buddies
• Daffodil Delight 5 1/2 x 8 1/2”
• Whisper White cardstock 2 x 2 5/8” for peacock, cut out with die
• Basic Black cardstock 2 1/4 x 2 7/8”
• Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral cardstock for balloons and hat
• Birthday Bonanza DSP 2 1/4 x 5 1/4"
• Ink: Smoky Slate, Tuxedo Black, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight
• Wink of Stella Clear
• Stamparatus

Mother's Day Card

I used the same Stamparatus set-up for the Koala and a similar layout as the birthday card. Then I cut out the flowers from the Best Dressed DSP so that the little koala is holding a special bouquet for mom.   You can change the sentiment to make it fit any special occasion.

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Sets: Bonanza Buddies, Itty Bitty Greetings
• Petal Pink 5 1/2 x 8 1/2”
• Whisper White cardstock 2 x 2 5/8”
• Basic Black cardstock 2 1/4 x 2 7/8”
• Best Dressed DSP 1 3/4 x 5 1/4", plus extra for flower cut-outs
• Ink: Smoky Slate, Tuxedo Black
• Stamparatus

The Royal Peacock stamp set and coordinating dies, rhinestones and embossed foil are from the Annual Catalog.  We used the Stamparatus to layer on the colors for the peacock using Blueberry Bushel and Old Olive.  And dressed up the peacock with Wink of Stella Clear and matching rhinestones.  Lots of sparkle!
