EARTHEN ELEGANCE THANKS

It was time to try the Earthen Treasures images in another color palette! As much as I love the earthy colors of the Earthen Elegance Designer Series paper, I knew these pots and stems would sing in other colors. What about Boho Blue?

  • Stamps: Earthen Treasures
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Boho Blue, Wild Wheat
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Tailored Tags dies, Deckle Rectangle dies, Timeworn Type Embossing Folder, In Color DSP Assortment, Boho Blue 3/8″ textured ribbon, Linen thread, Stampin’ Dimensionals

This design is suitable for nearly any occasion – if the colors were more muted, I think it could even work as a sympathy card. And I *think* it might even work as a Manly Card!

The sentiment is on a simple strip of Basic White card stock. I have about 20 miles worth of these 1/2″ strips from trimming down a standard sheet of card stock to 4 interior panels (4″ by 5.25″). I like to finish all my colored card bases with a white panel on the inside.

How do you like Earthen Textures in Boho Blue? Does it work for you? If you need some In Color card stock – or anything else for that matter – shop the Online Store.

The MINI POCKET ENVELOPE and the EASTER BUNNY

The Easter bunny used to bring eggs when my kids were younger – real eggs we colored ourselves, and the plastic ones filled with chocolate and money. That doesn’t happen any more. Must be the price of eggs. Fortunately, this little mini pocket is just the right size for a gift card so that you can send a friend to the grocery store for a dozen.

  • Stamps: Easter Bunny, Thanks a Bunch (SAB 23, no longer available)
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Petal Pink, Soft Succulent, Sahara Sand
  • Accessories: Bunny Punch, Big Boss, Mini Pocket Envelope dies, Tailored Tag dies, Something Fancy dies, Country Gingham Designer Series paper, White Watercolor pencil, Stampin’ Dimensional, Tear n Tape (TNT), retired ribbon

Well, we really do love our punches! This bunny punch isn’t available until mid-May – too late for Easter 2023 – but if you were lucky enough to get your hands on one before they went out of stock, this project is for you!

A little bit of White Watercolor Pencil adds softness and definition to the bunny’s ears, belly and tail – obviously the softest parts of the bunny! A dab of Petal Pink in on the tip of the nose is just enough color – anything darker is too much (ask me how I know.)

This Mini Pocket die is big enough for a gift card, but it also holds a Tailored Tag quite nicely. I recently indulged in a SECOND set of dies. I make a lot of these, and I decided to cut my die-cutting time in half by cutting two at once. That was an excellent investment.

The mini pocket envelope is an all-season essential – shop for it at the Online Store.

Be sure to subscribe by March 10th for your Craft Escape in a box! The March kit is fresh and botanical, and includes a bonus stamp set to celebrate 10 years of Paper Pumpkin. It makes 9 cards and includes coordinating envelopes, and this month’s Stampin’ Spot is Polished Pink.
