I hate to admit it but I’ve had this cute paper for months and used it for the first time yesterday! What was I thinking?? It’s a shame because it’s retiring!! And guess what, it’s ON SALE for 40% off but ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. It’s normally $13.00 but on sale for $7.80. If you think you want it, grab it quick!
The stamp set I used, Cool Treats, coordinates with this paper but it isn’t retiring. There’s also coordinating framelits which are also NOT retiring. But the BUNDLE, is. Confusing, isn’t it? What this means is that if you purchase the bundle, which includes the stamp set Cool Treats and the Frozen Treats Framelits dies, you’ll get it at a discount of 10%. Although these two pieces will be back in the new catalog, the 10% discount won’t. This bundle is also WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. Don’t wait!
I’ve listed all of the supplies I used to make my card below. The sale price for the Tasty Treats Designer Series Paper will not show up unless you click the picture! Remember, this paper and the bundle are while supplies last!

Lately while creating in my craft room I’ve been trying to make several variations of the same card so that I’ll have a nice stash of cards to use! That means I have more than one card to share today! My cards were inspired by Jeanie Stark, a fellow Stampin’ Up! demo.
All of my cards use the same design but I changed them up with different paper and colors. All of the Designer Series Paper (DSP) comes from the Festive Birthday DSP and I have to say that I really love all of the bright, cheerful designs.
I always refer to the back of the package of paper or the catalog to see which colors coordinate and so, I used Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Crushed Curry and Whisper White. I stamped my sentiments in these same colors and cut them out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits which sit on top of one of the Layering Ovals Framelits.
The sentiments I used are included in the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit (a kit which includes a photopolymer stamp set and all of the supplies needed to make 20 different cards – you just need to supply adhesive).
The flower on each card was created with the Blossom Bunch Punch and I added an Enamel Shape to the center of each one.
If you’d like to create your own, the measurements are included below as well as all of the supplies I used for all of the cards.
Base of Card: 4-1/4″ x 11″ Score @ 5-1/2′
Cardstock: 3-3/8″ x 3-5/8″
Designer Series Paper: 3-1/8″ x 3-3/8″

Last Friday I shared a card I made using the beautiful Designer Series Paper, Floral Boutique. You can see that post HERE.
Today I have a several more cards that use this same paper!
Here are the measurements I used:
Night of Navy cardstock (base of card): 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored @ 5-1/2″
Whisper White cardstock: 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″
Designer Series Paper: 2-1/4″ x 5″
I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits for each of the cards but the first two also use the Layering Ovals Framelits.
The 3rd and 4th card both also use the Layering Circles Framelits.
All of the cards today use the stamp set from the Oh Happy Day Card Kit. It really is a versatile set!

Yesterday I shared a project with a cute little bunny from the stamp set, Basket Bunch. The eggs decorating my box today also come from that stamp set AND they have matching Framelits which means, no fussy cutting! The sentiment is also included in the stamp set.
I created this box so that a peanut butter bunny I bought would fit inside (I’ll share that project tomorrow). This closed box is small but I was able to fit quite a few chocolate eggs inside.
Whenever I make a project such as this one, I create a template and you’ll find one for this box below. I write all of the dimensions on the back and this makes it so easy to recreate the project again! I’ve also included a pictorial tutorial below so let’s get started
Step 1: Cut your paper to 6-1/4″ x 5-3/4″. Score on the short side: 3/4″, 4-1/4″ and 5″
Score on the long side: 2″, 2-3/4″, 4-3/4″, 5-1/2″
With your paper snips, remove the sections shown below.
Step 2: Trim the flaps as indicated by the arrows. This helps your box close more easily.
Your box will look like this once you’ve snipped the flaps just a bit.
Step 3: Add Designer Series Paper to the front, if desired (I used a piece from the 2016-2018 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack). You’ll use a piece that measures 1-7/8″ x 3-3/8″. Glue it to the area below your flap as indicated by the picture.
Step 4: Refer back to this template to see where to add your adhesive. Create the side of the box first. When folding the bottom of the box, the small flaps go in first, then the piece with adhesive. The piece without adhesive will go last and create the box.
Now, you’ll decorate the front of your box! I used the stamp set, Basket Bunch for my sentiment and the eggs. After stamping the sentiment with Memento Ink, I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The eggs were also stamped with Memento Ink and cut out with the Basket Builder Framelits Dies (purchase the stamp set and Framelits as a bundle and save 10% – see product list below). I colored the eggs with Pink Pirouette and Pool Party Stampin’ Write Markers (Subtles Collection).
If you create one of these boxes, I would love to see yours!! If you have any questions, please ask!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I really should have been a better planner and had a green project for today!!
Oh my gosh, aren’t these little bunnies ADORABLE!! The little guy comes from the stamp set, Basket Bunch AND there are matching Framelits. I love it when I don’t have to fussy cut little pieces. You can purchase the stamp set and Framelits separately but when you get them as a bundle, you save 10%!
When I saw these teeny tiny gold bunnies at Target, I knew I had to make something with them. One fits perfectly inside the holder (see the picture below).
Below you’ll find all of the products I used to make my holders and I’ll have the directions for these little guys on Monday! Have a great weekend and I’ll see you next week! (Edited to add: You can find the measurements here).
