Fun Springtime Flowers

The inspiration for this card came from the all new Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I used the "Embedded Embossing" technique to emboss the DSP into the Artichoke cardstock. 

The ruffled ribbon was created using the Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding.  The technique involves fraying the end of the ribbon and pulling one or two threads from the center of the frayed end to gather the ribbon.

Easter Bunny Box

I made this Easter Bunny Box for my 2010 Secret Stamping Sister, Lyn.  I couldn't post it last year or it would have blown my secret cover, so here it is one year later.  I CASED it from Terri Ransom, a fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator out of Florida.  Thanks for such an adorable idea, Terri!

Enjoy,
