Ladybug Birthday in 2026-2028 In Colors

For my card today I wanted to focus on the new 2026-2028 In Colors which will debut on May 5.  I had this vision to stamp the ladybugs in a row and color one in each color...then decided I really needed to use the Peaceful Pine to color my foliage rather than a ladybug.  I started with a sketch (of which this card looks absolutely nothing like except for the rectangle lol), then dove in and this is the result.  I am rather pleased with the looks of it.   It just goes to show you how you can start with an idea or sketch and it's only a jumping off point for your creativity.  To watch the YouTube video tutorial on how I put this card together, click this link.

Poppin' by spring card

 I have a fun card for you today using current products and mashing with some last chance products.  I hope you enjoy it.  I had a lot of fun putting it together and I'm sure the recipient will love it as well.  I wanted to use the dies in the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar to make something with the bunny from Easter Basket.  Initially, I had another design in my head, however, by the time it made it to paper, this card was the result.  Far less busy than my original idea and oh so cute!  To watch the video replay on how I put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel by clicking this link.
