My Bunny Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Bunny Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Daisy Carrot Bunny Bouquet Bundle. I used the sentiment “Some Bunny is Thinking of You” from Bunny Daffodil Bundle for my card.

This Bundle includes 6 images:

  • Title 2: Daisy Bunny Bouquet Right (JPG format)

  • Title 5 & 6: Sentiment Thoughts of You Make Me Smile (JPG and PNG format)

The Details of My Bunny Wishes Card

Easter is this weekend, but not everyone celebrates it. So, I thought I would make a versatile card that can be used for Easter, Mother’s Day, a birthday or a thinking of you.

First, I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers to match the Bunnies & Blooms papers. Such pretty papers with their muted colours and Easter themes! To add to the muted colours, I brushed some Vintage Photo Ink on the edges of the papers and the sentiment which was die cut with the largest flag die from the Stylish Shapes.

Next, I layered him onto a die cut Old Olive Daisy Circle. Perfect to mirror the daisies in the bunny’s arms! A die cut circle with eggs on it from the paper pack was layered behind him. The “Celebrate” sticker was added with a puffy heart to finish off my focal point.

A couple of puffy stickers on either side of my sentiment tied in the muted colour scheme and added interest.

Standing Double Z-Fold Card

My Standing Double Z-Fold Card - An Easter card with a bunny in a wreath
My Standing Double Z-Fold Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Standing Double Z-Fold Card using the Celebrate Spring February 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made 7 alternative cards including 6 fun folds and one regular card. I have included a photo of all the cards at the end of this post and links for more details.

The Details of My Standing Double Z-Fold Card

For this alternative card using the February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a stand up double z-fold card. Again, this is another card that I haven’t made before but thought it would be fun to use the floral oval for it. Plus, it looked like an Easter Egg when closed!

Card Laid Flat
My Standing Double Z-Fold Card

I used from the Arches Dies the largest one for the Shy Shamrock base, third largest one for the Lemon Lolly and the fifth largest one for the Pretty in Pink. I watched a video by Jill Casteel Blanchett from Green Thumb Stampers to help with the process.

For the Shy Shamrock base, I folded it in half and used the Arch Die to cut it out, but I  made sure that the straight bottom of the die was hanging off the card stock. This kept them attached. Then, I folded the bottom arch in half to create my first z-fold.

Next, I die cut the Lemon Lolly arches and adhered them to the Sky Shamrock card base.

Side View of Card

For the Pretty in Pink piece, I did the same as the Shy Shamrock, but I made sure that the arch part was where the die hung off the edge of the card stock. Then, I turned the die around and ran the card stock through the arch die only at the top to get a finished arch. I folded one of the arches in half to create the second z-fold.

A Basic White arch was added to the back of the card to write a message.

All that was left was to add the twine, ephemera and sequins to my card.

The Details of My Centre-Step Alternative Card

For this alternative card using the February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made my favourite fun fold, a centre-step! I have included a downloadable Centre-Step Template at the end of this post.

I had a piece of the back of the Balmy Blue card base left that was the perfect size for my centre panel. With the basket in place, you did not notice the missing flowers. So, instead, I added the flowers to the side panels by trimming down the card front. 

For the bottom panel, I used part of the envelope flap and decided to use it to add visual interest.

All the panels were matted in Basic White to tie in the sentiment piece. The sentiment was stamped in the Sky Shamrock ink provided.

All that was left was to add the basket with the eggs, daffodils, sequins and twine.

Secret Slider Alternative Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Secret Slider Alternative Card using the Celebrate Spring February 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made 7 alternative cards including 6 fun folds and one regular card. I have included all the other cards at the end of this post.

The Details of My Secret Slider Alternative Card

I have been wanting to create a secret slider card and decided that the basket would make a great focal point on the left. Of course, I just had to have the bunny in the basket holding an Easter egg! He filled in the space nicely!

A Spring Card with a bunny in a basket
Front of My Secret Slider Card

I stamped the grass in Shy Shamrock on a leftover piece of Balmy Blue card front even though you can’t see the flowers. Then, I stamped the egg and the sentiment tag provided.

Once the stamping was done, it was time to build the card. So, I used one of the Lemon Lolly card bases and cut it apart to create my card background. You could use a whole Lemon Lolly card base, but I wanted to use part of it for my mat on the front. 

Then, I scored the Sky Shamrock card stock according to the measurements below.

I decorated the front flap with the Lemon Lolly mat followed by the Balmy Blue. Then, I added my focal point of the basket with the bunny.

For the inside, I used the Easter Joy DSP to decorate the flaps. Then, I scored a leftover Balmy Blue card back according to the measurements below. I stamped the sentiment on the Basic White and added it to the Balmy Blue. The small flap was adhered to the left panel near the fold. Once that was done the right panel was adhered at the top and bottom with the sentiment piece slotted in between.

The finishing touch was to add the daffodils, twine and sequins to the front of my card.

My Other Alternative Cards

Two cards I created using the February 2026 Celebrate Spring Paper Pumpkin Kit were easel cards. I scored the fronts at 2-1/8”. For one, I followed the instructions and just added a strip of envelop with a Shy Shamrock mat for the inside stopper. For the other, I used the floral oval and added some stamped Easter eggs in matching colours.

For another alternative card, I create a regular card using the leftover pieces from the other cards. I used the Arch Dies to create a fun focal point that allowed the Easter eggs to be “hidden” amongst the grass and flowers. For the extra eggs, I used the leftover frame from the punched out eggs to trace the outline of the eggs and fussy cut them out. I used a piece of leftover envelope flap for one, Lemon Lolly card stock for the other and a stamped egg from the Kit for the final one.

My Bee-cuz I Said Hi!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Bee-cuz I Said Hi! as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Bailey And Bee/Goodnight Benji Bundle.

The Details of My Bee-cuz I Said Hi!

I loved this cutie and had fun colouring him with my Copic markers! In fact, I used a technique where I added some Colourless Blender to an old towel and then dab it to the coloured image. This created a textured effect that looked like fur. I just needed to make sure I didn’t over saturate the towel and press too long. Otherwise the ink might bleed out of the lines.

Once he was coloured, I used a stencil, Pool Party Ink and my Blending Brushed to create clouds around him. For the bee’s flight pattern, I used a Clear Star Gelly Roll pen to make it shimmer. Then, I die cut him out with layered Stitched Dies with a Pool Party Mat.

The Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper was perfect for my bee theme. And I loved the bright colours! Reminded me that Spring is just around the corner!

The printed sentiment was trimmed down and matted with a Petunia Pop mat. To balance the sentiment, I added some stitched honeycomb dies in the opposite corner with another one behind the sentiment.

A finishing touch was a scattering of Mini Bee Trinkets.

My Floral Bridge Card

My Floral Bridge Card - a card with a floral theme
My Floral Bridge Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Floral Bridge Card using the Fragrant Layers Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I decide to make a triple panel bridge card to show off the beautiful die cuts from the Fragrant Layers Dies. Don’t you just love it when the card is closed, and the insides are hidden creating a nice surprise as the recipient opens the card!

The Details of My Floral Bridge Card

For my card, I wanted to showcase the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper with its metallic gold foil details.

First, I created the card base and cut it according to the measurements below. I went with larger side panels since I didn’t want too much space on either side of my central die cut panel. Plus, the “floral bridge” limited how wide it could be too.

Close Up of Focal Point
Close Up of Focal Point

I thought it would be a fun bridge if I used the largest solid floral to join my two side panels! Old Olive leaves tie in the DSP colours and added some interest.

The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive and die cut using the flag in the die set.

For the central panel, I used the background floral die and layered the Lovely & Beautiful DSP behind it. Love that it peeks through!

Inside of Card
Second Panel inside Card

For the inside, I love how the gold accents on the DSP are revealed as you open the card! A Basic White message piece was stamped in Peach Pie and added to the card base.

My Welcome Home Card

My Welcome Home Card - a bunny family looking at their new house.
My Welcome Home Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Welcome Home Card using the Storybook Friends Bundle includes the Storybook Friends Stamp Set and the Storybook Friends Dies by Stampin’ Up! A friend just moved into their new home, and I wanted to send a Welcome to your new home card. So, I thought the Storybook Friends Bundle with a cute bunny family would be sweet!

The Details of My Welcome Home Card

For my card, I thought my favourite fun fold, a centre-step, would work well with the family on the bottom panel and the framed house above them. But first, I coloured the bunnies with my Stampin’ Blends to match my DSP colours. Then, I die cut them out with the matching dies in the Bundle.

I was strategic in selecting the house from the DSP for my wood frame. I placed my die on the DSP and moved it around to see which house would work without the other houses interfering with it. When I found my house, I use a pencil to mark the inside edge of the frame die. This allowed me to use my Paper Snips to quickly cut a rough piece of DSP without needing the whole frame die cut out and wasting paper. Once that was done, I used the die and lined up my pencil mark to die cut out just the house.

Next, to create my “home”, I used the DSP that looked like wallpaper for the centre panel behind the framed house. A strip of the Timeless Plaid DSP was perfect for the “rug” on which the bunnies were standing.

To decorate my side panels, I used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and brushed Crumb Cake ink along the edges to bring out the embossing. I also brushed Crumb Cake on the house frame to bring out the grain in the Wood Textured Specialty Paper.

The sentiments were stamped in Lost Lagoon and die cut out with one of the flags from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Antique Pearls to my card on the different panels.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Storybook Friends Bundle (164675), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)

My Storybook Easter Card

My Storybook Easter Card - an Easter card with a scene of animals celebrating Easter
My Storybook Easter Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Storybook Easter Card using the Storybook Friends Bundle which includes the Storybook Friends Stamp Set and the Storybook Friends Dies with Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! I thought this DSP with its die-cut designs would make a fast and fun Easter card for my in-laws! In fact, my Mother-in-law loved Peter Rabbit. So, I knew she would get a kick out of my card!

The Details of My Storybook Easter Card

For my card, I thought a double z-fold card would create a perfect Easter scene. So, I used the soil-shaped die from the Storybook Garden Patch Dies to create the ground panel. I very carefully lined up the die three times to cut it along the top of the 11” x 1 ½” piece of Crumb Cake.

Top View of Card
Top View of Double Z-Fold Card

Next, I embossed it with the retired Textured Embossing Folder to give the ground some interest and to cover up where the soil-shaped die left indents in the card stock. Once that was done, I brushed Crumb Cake Ink with my Blending Brush along the edges to make it look more like dirt. I popped up my ground piece with dimensionals on the front and on the last panel.

To make the carrots, I used the spade from the Storybook Garden Patch Dies and trimmed off the handle part. Then, I added the Old Olive die cut leaves. I love that the soil-shaped die has cuts in the ground that the carrots can be inserted to look like they are growing out of the ground!

Front of Card

For the front panel of the card, I used the Storybook Friends Dies to die cut a house from the DSP and frame it with the Wood Textured Specialty Paper. Since I wanted to add the pre-cut fence and ground infront of the house, I made sure that the house I picked was towards to top of the frame. I added some Lost Lagoon DSP that reminded me of wallpaper behind my frame.

Inside of Card

For my background scene on the other two panels, I made sure that I cut the DSP to create a continuous scene.

I love how easy it is to decorate my card with the die-cut designs! I added the momma bunny and child bunny to the front of the z-fold. Then, I added the mouse carrying water to the middle panel of the z-fold. And, finally, I added the squirrel with the rake to the third panel. I popped up the bunnies, but adherred the mouse and squirrel directly to the ground piece. When the card is closed, the carrots hide the mouse and squirrel from view. How cool is that!

For the popped up sentiment, I used one of the stitched banners from the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut my Lost Lagoon Easter Greetings. A die-cut butterfly was added for whimsy.

The finishing touch was to add three Antique Pearls with two on the front and one beside the sentiment.

I placed a Basic White piece on the back for the message.

My Easter Greetings Card

My Easter Greetings Card - an Easter card with an Angel holding flowers
My Easter Greetings Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Easter Greetings Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Angel Wishes. This purchase includes 2 Images with Angel facing left and right.

The Details of My Easter Greetings Card

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline Easter card with this sweetie! So, I knew that I wanted to colour her with my Copic markers in soft pastel Easter colours of purples, pinks, yellows and greens. For the purple, I decided to use my BVs instead of my traditional Vs to match the papers. Another big departure for me is that I coloured her wings in B45/B41. I usually use much lighter colours like B000/B00 or BG10/BG11. My colour choices were out of my comfort zone, but I was pleased with how she turned out!

For the designer paper, I used two different paper packs. The butterfly paper in the background was from Spring Whispers and the florals was from Sweet Tweets both by The Paper Boutique. The Spring Whispers Coloured Card Collection made it easy to match my papers!

To anchor my Angel, I added a stitched circle and another circle mat. I had debated about using the Tulip Doily for my card, but decided it was too busy. However, the inside circle die from the Tulip Doily was the perfect fit for the mat of my stitched circle. I offset the circle and trimmed off the excess.

The sentiment was already on my desk leftover from anther card. It was from the Easter Bunny Trio Bundle. I added a stitched die cut behind my sentiment with the same paper to tie in the floral paper behind my focal point.

To add some sparkle, I used my Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on her wings and the ruffle of her dress. To create a soft look, I smooshed my finger on the ink before it dried.

The finishing touch was a scattering of butterflies to match the butterflies in the designer paper.

Hello Spring Alternative Cards

Hello Spring Alternative Cards - 4 cards with floral theme
Hello Spring Alternative Cards

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Hello Spring Alternative Cards using the Hello Spring February 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I am so over winter and ready for Spring. So, these cards helped to put me in the mood for new growth and warmer weather. I had so much fun with this Kit that I made 4 cards including a slimline quad fold pocket card and a triple panel bridge card!

But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. Perfect for this time of year in their bright cheery colours!

3 Cards with Floral Theme
Hello Spring February 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit

The Details of My Hello Spring Alternative Cards

My Slimline Quad Fold Card

For my first alternative card, I thought it would be fun to create a slimline card with pockets into which the seed cards would fit. I even used the Grow with Love Dies to cut down one of the envelopes that came in the kit to create an envelope for my Chives card.

A slim card with floral theme
My Slimline Quad Fold Card

For the front, I used the leftover pieces from two envelopes (see Card 4 for second leftover piece) to create some interest behind my Bronze Foil Piece. I thought a bouquet of herbs sprouting from the sentiment would be fun! I used a 1 ½” circle punch to punch out a Basic Beige circle from the Bronze Foil Piece and matted it behind the sentiment. Since the herbs were in front of it, you couldn’t see the missing part. Finally, I added a bee from the Spring Is in the Air Dies.

For the inside, I used two card bases to line my pockets. More bees and honeycomb from the Spring Is in the Air Dies decorated the inside along with a sentiment.

The finishing touch was the linen wrapped three times around the card to hold it closed and tied in a bow.

Measurements:

  • Basic White Card Base:
    • 8” x 12” – scored at 3”, 6”, 9” along 12” side and 5 ½” along 8” side
    • Scraps for bees and honeycomb
  • Blue Card Base (3 pieces):
    • 2-7/8” x 3 ½”
  • Green Card Base (3 pieces):
    • 2-3/8” x 2-7/8”
  • Envelope Leftovers (2 pieces):
    • 5” x 2-3/8”
  • Other Pieces from Kit:
    • Herb Precut Paper Pieces
    • Herb Cards
    • Bronze Foil Piece
    • Sentiment Pieces
    • Linen Thread
    • Seed Packet Envelope

My Triple Panel Card

For my second alternative card using the Hello February 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a triple panel card. I love it when the card is closed, and the insides are hidden creating a nice surprise as the recipient opens the card!

Another floral card
My Triple Panel Card

So, I cut the green card base at 1” on either side to create the struts to which the bridge will be adhered. The larger Bronze Foil Piece from the kit fitted the bridge perfectly! Then, using the scraps from the precut paper pieces, I stamped and die cut the flower heads and another bee from the Spring Is in the Air Dies.

For the middle panel, I punched a 1 ½” circle from another Bronze Foil Piece and layered it behind my sentiment and the mint precut paper piece.

Middle Panel of Card

For the final panel, I stamped the textured stamped multiple time in Petunia Pop on Petunia Pop card stock for a tone-on-tone look. Then, I layered the smaller Bronze Foil Piece with the basil precut paper piece leaving room for a message.

Measurements:

  • Green Card Base:
    • Cut at 1” and 4 ½”
  • Basic White:
    • Scraps for Bees and Flower Heads

    • 4” x 5 ¼”

    • Herb Precut Paper Pieces on Inside
    • Bronze Foil Pieces
    • Green Diagonal Strip Piece
    • Sentiment Pieces

My Happy Easter Card

For my next alternative card, I decided to use the green card base scrap left over from another card. This created a nice band on the left side.

For my focal point, I layered several elements from the Kit. Again, I used my 1 ½” punch to punch a circle from the Bronze Foil Piece making sure to have it on the left side and hidden by the Chives card.

Next, I stamped and die cut the flower heads and another bee from the Spring Is in the Air Dies. I just love these dies, especially that bee!

Measurements:

  • Green Card base:
    • 2 ½” x 4 ¼”
  • Basic White:
    • Scraps for Bees and Flower Heads
  • Other Pieces from Kit:
    • Blue Card Base
    • Chives Card
    • Bronze Foil Piece
    • Sentiment Pieces
    • Linen Thread

My Happy Easter Pocket Card

For my last alternative card, I decided it would be fun to die cut another mini envelope from the seed packet envelopes (use the scraps from this one for the Slimline Quad Fold Card) and have the herbs sprouting from it.

Another Easter card
My Happy Easter Pocket Card

So, I used the used the Grow with Love Dies to create my envelope. The Beige fastener was die cut from leftover scraps of the envelope.

I stamped the sentiment and added a Bubble Bath mat to it. To match the mat, I die cut another butterfly using the Spring Is in the Air Dies, but this time in Bubble Bath.

I decided to only stamp and die cut one flower hear to give the image dimension to it.

Measurements:

  • Basic White:
    • Scraps for Flower Head
  • Bubble Bath:
    • 1 ½” Circle
    • Scraps for Bee

Welcome Little One Card

Welcome Little One Card - a baby card with a girl holding a bird nest with a baby bird in it
Welcome Little One Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Welcome Little One Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Avery with Bird Nest. We discovered a bird nest with some robin eggs on one of our outdoor lights. So, I couldn’t resist creating a card around this miracle! I even used a photo of the eggs in the nest on my card!

The Details of My Welcome Little One Card

For my card, I decided to colour with my Copic markers Avery in similar colours to the eggs and nest but went with a bright red hair for all those gorgeous curls!

Next, I die cut the printed photo with a stitched circle die. I used this same die for all three layers of my “nest” so they would line up when layered. The top two offset layers consisted of leaves in two different greens to add dimension. I also added a few sprigs of leaves emanating from my nest.

I used the border leaf die on the darker DSP behind Avery to tie in my theme and make her stand out from the other DSP.

The sentiment was stamped in Balmy Blue, and one end was cut at an angle with my Paper Snips.

Finally, for embellishments, I added three birds from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds for a bit of sparkle.

Mother’s Day Birdhouse Card

Mother’s Day Birdhouse Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Mother’s Day is only a few weeks away! So, I am sharing my Mother’s Day Birdhouse Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Avery with Birdhouse Banner

The Details of My Mother’s Day Birdhouse Card

I just love this sweet image with her birdhouse banner! Perfect for a Mother’s Day gift from a little girl! I coloured Avery with my Copic markers in soft purples and pinks to match my Spring Echo Park paper.

For my card, I decided to add a cute die cut birdhouse using the Echo Park papers to match my colouring and Avery’s birdhouse banner. And I couldn’t resist placing a momma bird inside the house by using the Bird Ballet DSP especially since this was a Mother’s Day card!

Next, I added a banner using the different papers that match my colour scheme. This overlayed the stamped Highland Heather sentiment that was die cut with the Scallop Contours Dies. All this was layered onto a larger scalloped Petal Pink piece to complete my focal point.

Finally, for embellishments, I added some Brass Butterflies to match the butterflies on the paper, as well as, added Star Dust Stickles to the hearts on Avery’s outfit.

Happiness is Homegrown Card 

Happiness is Homegrown Card - a Spring card with a girl holding a chick
Happiness is Homegrown Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Spring has finally arrived here! So, I am sharing my Happiness is Homegrown Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Little Chick Emma

The Details of My Happiness is Homegrown Card

Don’t you just love Emma in her patchwork dress! So, sweet! I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in Spring colours to match my papers.

For my card, I decided to use the Simple Stories paper since it had a farm theme, and I loved the soft colours! I had some scraps with chickens left over from a previous project, but not a lot. So, I created two squares and placed them in opposite corners on the blue/green polka dotted card base. Great way to use scraps!

Next, I added a die cut white fence to add some interest to the background.

The sentiment and banner were from the matching Simple Stories Bits & Pieces. The needlepoint look was perfect for Emma with her patchwork dress! An adhesive-backed pink heart on the banner mirrored the pinks in Emma’s dress.

Finally, for embellishments, I added more adhesive-backed hearts and flowers in addition to Star Dust Stickles to the hearts on Emma’s dress.

My Easter Egg Hunt Card

My Easter Egg Hunt Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Easter is just around the corner. So, I am sharing My Easter Egg Hunt Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Lulu with Easter Basket

The Details of My Easter Egg Hunt Card

I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in Easter colours to match my Easter paper. I just love these soft colours!

For my card, I decided to use the gorgeous Tulip Dies as a backdrop for Lulu. I just bought these dies and was eager to use them! So, I went with white card stock and a soft pink that has some texture on it so as not to detract from Lulu. The sentiment “Easter Egg Hunt” was from the Welcome Easter Paper Pad and perfect for my theme.

To decorate my card, I added die cut Easter eggs that matched the colours of Lulu’s eggs in her basket. Next, I added several Brass Butterflies floating from the focal point.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Wink of Stella on Lulu’s eggs, hair bow and basket bow.

Bunches of Wishes Card

A Birthday Card with a Gnome and a wheel barrow
Bunches of Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Bunches of Wishes Card that was published in the March Issue (#242) of the Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine. I was honoured when Christine Young, owner of Paper Nest Dolls, asked me to create a card to be published using Shovel Gnome from the Gnome Set. There are ten images in the set including:

The Details of My Card

For my card, the Magazine had specified pastel colours with a Spring theme. So, I used The Four Seasons Spring, P13 paper for my card. I coloured my images with my Copic markers to match my paper. 

I love how the circles on the yellow paper match the circles in my design with the different flowers from the set and the sentiment! So many choices for him to think about planting! Lol!

Tip: Place all three circle dies on paper where you want them. Using a Post-it Note secure them to paper to keep position and run through die cutting machine all at the same time.

One thing that is so great about digital stamps is that I was able to add flowers to the wheelbarrow! Since I added tulips in it, I added a die cut tulip boarder behind him that I coloured to match my scene.

The sentiment was printed out on my computer and die cut out. It and the other circles were slid into place using liquid adhesive. 

The birds and butterfly added interest to my scene.

Clear Wink of Stella was added to the wings of the butterfly to add some sparkle.
