For my second card this week, I've chosen to use the Artisan Sketched Garden dsp for my focal image and brought in some awesome new scalloped dies coming out on the 5th of May. I've paired it again with the April POTM Eyelet Blooms dies and used the die for it's intended use and as an embossed piece.

Musical Jamboree Thank you treat box made with tag dies
I have a treat box made with the tag from Merriest Trees dies for you today. I’ve combined it with the singing coyote from Musical Jamboree. I thought this would make a cute music teacher’s gift. It can fit a gift card and Ghirardelli chocolate squares if you use the larger template (3 1/4" x 3 1/2") which fits the sides of the tag exactly. The smaller template (3 1/8" x 3 1/2"), does not fit a gift card and fits just inside the stitching on the tag. I’ve included both sizes here, they’re made exactly the same way, using the same scoring measurements and cutting directions. Check out the video replay over on my YouTube channel to see how I’ve put it together.

Rays of Light Sunflower Chicken Thank You card
I've made a card today to show how the Cutest Cows bundle can make cards other than cow cards. For this one, I've used the sunflower bunch along with the two largest chickens in the stamp set. I've paired it with the Rays of Light because I needed a card that shouted warmth this week. I think this one does just that.

You are much appreciated Season of Chic
This is the final project this week using the Season of Chic bundle of products by Stampin’ Up! This bundle will no longer be offered in the bundle discount after May 1st, so be sure to order it before then in my online store here. It will still be available, just not in the bundle along with the discount. Stamps and dies will need to be purchased separately. I really like how this card turned out and it looks so cheerful. It would work for Spring or Summer and most any occasion with an appropriate sentiment, even a wedding!
