It’s official!!! At least the calendar says it is. HAPPY SPRING!!

Fun Friday is here and it will be FUN indeed when you get to see that sneak peek of something from one of our new clear stamps sets!

First I want to show you another way to use the Pattern Bunny. You KNOW I love simple cards (and my scissors), so look how these little bunnies are jumping out to say Happy Easter!

Supplies:

• Pattern Bunny
• Clear Design: Happy Day Animals
• Sparkle Clear: Happy Greetings
• Memories Black Ink
• Primary Elements Chalk Ink Queue
• White Notecards

Next, let’s bring back that egg one more time. Make a cute little corrugated basket and fill it with colorful eggs.

Supplies:

• Pattern Egg
• Sparkle Clear: Happy Greetings
• Memories Black Ink
• Primary Elements Chalk Ink Queue
• Memories Mango Ink
• Soft Pool Shadow Ink
• White Notecards
• Other: pastel cardstock scraps, ribbon

These little scraps were talking to me, so I turned them into a funny bunny. A funky heart punch out and a few ears make a mighty cute Easter greeting. Make a checkered background with 1 inch ink cubes.

Supplies:

• Dots
• Sparkle Clear: Happy Greetings
• Memories Black Ink
• White Notecards
• Heart Gem
• Other: ink cubes, black pen, Fiskars heart punch

I almost forgot about our new little whimsical Spring woodblock set, so here is a card using those four stamps!  I used  a large sheet of white cardstock and made a “vertical” opening card, rather than side opening.

Supplies:

• Design Accents: Silly Spring
• Clear Design: Happy Day Animals
• Memories Black Ink
• Spring Mix Notecards
• Yellow Gemstones
• Sparkle Gem Blossoms 
• Other: safety pin, ribbon, Paper Source scallop punch, colored pencils

Are you ready? Here’s a sneak peek of our cute little chick which will be released in a few weeks.

Supplies:

• Sparkle Clear: Cute Letters
• Memories Black Ink
• Yellow Gemstones
• Sparkle Gem Blossoms
• Sunshine, Pink, White Notecards
• Other: pink and yellow dotted paper, embroidery floss, ribbons, hole punch
