My first Easter card for 2025 features a Storybook Moments bunny.
Easter Greetings
This card was a breeze to make, because the bunny, flowers, and butterflies were all “punched out” from a sheet that’s included with the Storybook Moments Designer Paper. P.S. It comes with two sheets!
For the background, I glued Country Lace Designer Paper, 4 1/8″ X 5 3/8″, to a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. I created the bunny’s frame with Basic Beige Cardstock, cut with a Storybook Frames Die, backed with Country Lace Designer Paper. After gluing the flowers and frame in place, I attached the bunny and butterflies with Dimensionals.
“Easter Greetings” is from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set, stamped in Crumb Cake Ink, cut with a Perennial Postage Die, and attached with Dimensionals.

It was fun discovering that this neat “cut-out” flower pattern, from a Spring Corners Die, fits perfectly within the 2 3/4″ X 2 3/4″ Stylish Shapes Die. I chose Basic White Cardstock, with a backing of Full Of Life Designer Paper in orange and green.
Spring Corners Full Of Life
Beneath the square is the same Full Of Life DSP, 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″, given texture with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder. I backed it with Basic White Cardstock, 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border. This was glued to a Granny Apple Green card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Thanks” is from the Saying Hey Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After cutting with a Stylish Shapes Die, I attached it with Dimensionals to a scrap of Granny Apple Green DSP, cut with a size larger, Stylish Shapes Die. To complete the card, I added three Shiny Sequins.

My two favorite 2025 Sale-a-bration items are the Heart Shaped Bundle and Bloom Impressions Designer Paper. They go beautifully together, which you can see on today’s card. And, if you aren’t familiar with Stampin’ Up!’s, once a year, Sale-a-bration, these items are FREE with a qualifying order. Send me an email ([email protected]) for more information.
I began by using a Heart Shaped Die to cut two hearts from Bloom Impressions Designer Paper. This same die was used to cut two hearts from Basic White Cardstock, for framing the floral hearts.
Sale-a-bration 2025
Next, I used a Heart Shaped stamp to stamp two hearts in Melon Mambo Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. This was glued to Bloom Impressions Designer Paper 1/8″ larger, giving the top layer a 1/16″ border. Both layers were glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment is from the Heart Shaped Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping “hello,” I used a Heart Shaped die for cutting, snipped it to size, and glued it in place.
The final step was using a Heart Shaped die to cut three flowers from Basic White Cardstock. After attaching the flowers with Mini Dimensionals, I added Shimmer Gems to their centers, for some sparkle.
I’m sharing my Sale-a-bration design with this week’s TGIF challenge.

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun sketch. It’s especially fun combing new products to create the design. I hope my design sparks your imagination, so you can join us by posting your card. Don’t forget to tag it #GDP482, so we can find you.
I love the new, Delightful Wishes flowers, and I used two of the dies to create four flowers that were the right size for the sketch. It was really fun cutting the flowers from the new, Bloom Impressions Designer Paper, one of the Free Sale-a-bration items. The top part of the flower was cut from Basic White Cardstock, and glued in place.
Delightful Blooms
The 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ strip beneath the flowers is Basic White Cardstock, given texture with the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder. I glued this to Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/2″, after giving the white layer a bit of Azure Afternoon Ink, with a Blending Brush. Then, I glued the white layer to an Azure Afternoon card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
To complete the sketch, I stamped “you brighten my day” in Azure Afternoon Ink, used an Unbounded Love Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. To highlight the sentiment, from the Spring Corners Stamp Set, I added three Rainbow Dots.

If you like pastel colors, today’s card will appeal to you. I began by using two Spring Corners Dies, to cut three “sunny” shapes from Beautiful Bokeh Designer Paper. After cutting, I placed the suns on Dimensionals, as well as between the circles and the rays, for added dimension.
Pastel Sun
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″ , glued to a Soft Sea Foam card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Before gluing, I stamped the sentiment, from the Spring Corners Stamp Set, in Soft Sea Foam Ink. This stamp set has fun, unique sentiments, to stamp in the corners. You can click on the picture in my Product List below, to see all that this bundle has to offer.
As a final touch, I added Shiny Sequins. The sequins are a Last Chance item, so order while they’re still available.

It’s February 1, and my wedding anniversary, so I had to share an anniversary card, right? Guess how many years……….39!
I began today’s card with two favorites: Nests Of Winter Designer Paper and Perennial Postage Dies. I used the largest, and second largest, dies to cut two different patterns of the designer paper. The largest was glued to a Gray Granite card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The second largest was layered on cardstock for thickness, and attached with Dimensionals.
Happy Anniversary
Next, I used a Sale-a-bration, Heart Shaped Die, to cut a heart from Country Woods Designer Paper. Then, I used the die a second time to cut a heart from Nests Of Winter Designer Paper, using the center cut-out to fill in the Country Woods heart. After gluing the heart to the card front, I fussy cut the two love birds from Nests Of Winter Designer Paper, which I think is the highlight of the card.
“Happy Anniversary” is from the Everyday Greetings and Greetings Of The Seasons stamp sets; one word from each. You can see all of the words in the sets by clicking on the pictures in my Product List below. I stamped the words in Gray Granite Ink, before gluing and attaching the designer paper. The final touch was adding three, Iridescent Foil Gems.
