Today I’m sharing a card I made for the Candy Hearts team meeting monthly swap for February. The theme was Spring, including any Spring holiday or anything “Springy.” I used the Sweet Little Something stamp set to create the three stamp photorealistic image of the stuffed bunny. My new Stamparatus made it so so easy to make multiples of this card, all of them lined up perfectly. Just change the sentiment and this card could be used for a baby shower, child birthday, or any occasion calling for a sweet stuffed bunny!
Be on the lookout for swap cards from my Candy Hearts team in the next few days!
Here’s what I made:

Today I have another dad joke for you. Why do dads love cheesy puns? My dad did. Most of the dads I’ve known did. Me may never know the reason. But it’s a good thing Stampin’ Up! came out with the Dad Jokes stamp set so we can honor these dads. I paired it with a piece of True Gentleman Designer Series Paper that reminds me of a man’s shirt. A piece of vellum helps the sentiments stand out against the background, while still allowing the background to show through.
Here’s what I made:

Feb 8, 2018 | Blog Hop, Boxes, Cards, Food, Gallery, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Guest Stamper, Occasions, Sale-A-Bration |
It’s time for the OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Don’t go breaking my heart in honor of Valentine’s Day. Remember the song by Elton John and Kiki Dee? If not, you can watch the video here. My project has plenty of hearts – a large one from the Painted with Love Designer Series Paper, and small ones from the Sure Do Love You stamp set – and fortunately none of them are broken.
I’m on a ship right now (I’m actually at a live performance by Casey McPherson as I type this, so if there are any typos, that’s why!) My sister, and Candy Hearts team member, Judy Newsome, is house sitting. When I realized I’d forgotten to make the projects for today before I left, I contacted her and begged for help. Of course, she obliged because that’s the kind of gal she is. Between the two of us, we designed the card and treat box, and she actually made and photographed them. So while it was a team effort, she did the lion’s share of the work. Thanks, Judy!
Be sure to hop around to all the blogs listed below. You don’t want to miss any of the great projects by this group!
