This is a super easy card to make, but I love how cute it is! And it only takes a few minutes. You can put together several in no time at all. 🙂
I die cut a bunny silhouette from white card stock. (Tip: save the cutout to use on a later project) My bunny die set is no longer available but this set is similar. Or this one has 5 different sizes. Then using these Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies, I cut around the bunny. I stamped “Happy Easter” with green ink on the bottom of the piece. I’ve had this stamp forever – use your favorite Easter greeting stamp in your collection.
I attached a piece of patterned paper to a white card and adhered the bunny silhouette over the top. I added 3 green sequins to finish the card.
Looking for something fun and cute to hang on your door for Easter? This “Hoppy Easter” door hanger might be just the thing. 🐰 🙂

You’ll need a 10-inch thin wood circlefor the base of the door hanger– I found mine at Hobby Lobby. You’ll also need a small bunny wood cut out, a small white pom pom for the tail, paper Easter grass shreds, small speckled eggs, and various ribbons and a button for the bow. I found the bunny cut out, Easter grass shreds, and eggs in the seasonal section at Hobby Lobby. I had the ribbons and button in my craft stash.
I used my Cricut machine with purple permanent vinyl to cut out “Hoppy Easter”. You could also use stickers or even paint the letters onto the door hanger.
I painted the wood circle with 2 coats of pink acrylic paint. It’s optional, but I painted both sides to give it a more finished look. I painted the bunny with 2 coats of white paint and dry brushed some of the pink on the ears. I also dry brushed a little dark gray paint onto the edges of the bunny to add a little depth.
After the paint was dry, I applied the words to the wood circle using transfer tape and a scraper. Using hot glue, I attached the pom pom to the bunny and then glued the bunny to the wood circle.
I hot glued the Easter grass shreds to the bottom and glued the eggs on top. I made a simple bow the Re-Fabbed way and glued it to the top left. I added a button tied with white twine to the center of the bow. I hot glued a loop of ribbon to the back of the wood circle for hanging.
This was fun to make and will be something a little different to hang on the door for Easter. 🐰 🙂

To make the card, I added a piece of green patterned paper to a white card. The stamped piece is attached to the card with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment with green ink on white card stock. I die cut around it using these Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies and attached it to the card with foam tape.
This is such a fun image to color – and it can be colored in so many different ways! It’s a great way to celebrate the Birthday Girl. 😊
This month’s Christmas card is clean and simple with the focus on why we celebrate. I used the stamp set called Born for Us from Unity Stamp Company to create my card.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on kraft card stock. I used my Misti stamping tool so I could stamp the image a couple of times to make it darker. Using the Pink Fresh Essentials Braided Oval die set, I die cut around the image. This die set sadly seems to be discontinued. 😔 This decorative oval die set is similar or even a simple oval die would work great.
To make the card, I embossed a piece of ivory card stock with a dotted lattice embossing folder (similar to this). I adhered the stamped image to the embossed piece, letting it overhang slightly on the left side, and then trimmed off the excess. The piece is then attached to a kraft card. I stamped the sentiment on kraft card stock with black ink, die cut around it with these Scalloped & Stitched Sentiment Nesting Dies, and attached it to the card using foam tape.
Sometimes simple is just the thing.
Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? I know it’s early but if you start now, you’ll be really glad later this year when things get busy (or even more busy). 😉

My card is a 2nd birthday card for a sweet little girl. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white card stock and colored it with Copic markers. I stamped a “2” in the balloon with black ink.
This stamp can be used for so many different things just by changing the color scheme. A couple of the sentiment stamps in the set will work great for a thinking of you card. You probably have other sentiment stamps in your collection that would be great with this image, too. 🙂
I love potato soup! But it is loaded with carbs and we’re trying to be better about watching our carb intake. I found this recipe for Loaded Cauliflower Soup and thought I’d give it a try. The site has several soup recipes, just scroll down to the 3rd one for the recipe for this soup.

It’s super easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. The recipe says to use an immersion blender to make the soup creamier, but I don’t have one so I just took some of the soup, put it in my regular blender, and added it back to the pot. I left some chunks of cauliflower in the soup for added texture and to mimic chunks of potato.
For serving, add some crumbled bacon, chopped green onion, and shredded cheddar cheese to each bowl.
Add a side of crusty bread, roasted veggies, or a green salad for a yummy weeknight dinner.
Popping in to wish you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ Sending you all love and hoping you treat yourself to a little chocolate – or your favorite sweet treat – today.💕

Begin rolling up your washcloth from one corner to form a tube as shown in the photos below.
Fold the ends together and tie them with a cute ribbon or twine. The ends of the tube form the ears.🐰
These would be so cute to add to a little one’s Easter basket along with all the treats. They would also make a fun hostess gift – tuck them into a little basket with a bar of handmade soap. To use the washcloth, simply untie the ribbon and you are good to go. 🐰
