Vintage Easter Bunny – Handmade Card

Posted on March 18, 2026 by Anita

Hi friends,

I love this little bunny! I think he has such a vintage look and with just a little added color makes a sweet Easter card.

The sweet bunny is from the Whiskers and Wings stamp set from Unity Stamp Company. I stamped him with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink on white card stock and added a bit of color using Copic markers. I die cut around the image using these Scallops & Squares Nesting Dies and layered it to purple card stock die cut with the same set.

For the card, I added a piece of patterned paper die cut with these Scallops & Rectangles Nesting Dies to a white card. I attached the stamped piece to the center of the card, then I added 2 purple sequins to finish the card.

I used this stamp on these Easter Treat Bags a couple of years ago and also on this Vintage-Look Easter Card. It’s such a great image for Easter and Springtime.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️🌈

Posted on March 17, 2026 by Anita

Hi friends,

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ 🌈 Are you wearing your green today?

I don’t have a lot of stamps for St.Patrick’s Day but I did pull out this old one from Stampin’ Up to create a card. I have no idea how old this stamp is, but it’s perfect for this easy layout.

I stamped the image with green ink on white card stock and die cut around it using these Scallops & Circles Nesting Dies. I embossed a piece of green card stock with a diamond pattern embossing folder (this is similar) and die cut it with these Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies. I added a shamrock ribbon and attached the piece to a white card. The stamped piece is attached to the card using foam tape. I finished the card by adding some gold sequins.

This is a simple layout that can be used for any occasion just by changing the stamped image. It’s a great layout when you want to create a card, but are short on time. 🙂

Enjoy your favorite green treat today! ☘️🌈

Crochet Rustic Farmhouse Carrots

Posted on March 13, 2026 by Anita

Hi friends,

These Crochet Rustic Farmhouse Carrots from MJ’s Off the Hook Designs are so cute and easy to make! 🥕 They will add a fun touch to your Easter decor. You can find the pattern here on her website.

The pattern calls for making the carrots holding 3 strands of yarn together. I wanted to make my carrots a little smaller, so I used 2 strands of worsted weight yarn. I used I Love This Yarn in Burnt Pumpkin and Linen with an I/5.5mm crochet hook to stitch up my carrots. For the top of the carrots, I used Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek Yarn in Kale. You’ll also need a little Poly-fil for stuffing the carrots. My finished carrots measure about 6 inches long and about 1.5 inches across the top.

Tip: stuff your carrot as you go. It’s much easier than waiting until you’re finished stitching!

I tied my carrots together in a bundle of 3 using natural twine. Tuck them into a basket along with this sweet Crochet Little Bunny Face from The Knotted Nest – details in this post. They would also be cute as part of your Easter table centerpiece. 🥕

The Rustic Farmhouse Carrots work up quickly so you can make a whole carrot patch just in time for Easter! 🥕

Happy Easter Chick – Handmade Card

Posted on March 11, 2026 by Anita

Hi friends,

This sweet little chick is so cute for sending Easter wishes! He’s from the stamp set called Swagger from Unity Stamp Company and I love the little hearts.

I stamped the chick with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white card stock and colored it with Copic markers. I stamped “Happy Easter” with turquoise ink at an angle above the chick. My stamp is one I’ve had forever – use your favorite Easter stamp on your card. Using these Scallops & Banners Nesting Dies, I die cut around the stamped image.

To make the card, I attached a piece of pink patterned paper and a piece of turquoise patterned paper to a white card. I embossed a strip of white card stock with a dot embossing folder and attached it where the 2 pieces of patterned paper came together.

The stamped piece is attached to the card using foam tape. To finish the card, I added a knotted piece of ribbon to the top of the banner.

The soft colors of Spring and the cute little chick are perfect for this time of year. You can even change the sentiment and this card can be used for other occasions – birthday, thinking of you, or just a note.

Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry With Garlic Butter Chicken

Posted on March 10, 2026 by Anita

Hi friends,

This is a tasty recipe that is perfect for those busy weeknights. It comes together quickly, is low carb, and adds extra veggies to your meal. And it was husband approved! 🙂

The full recipe for Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry With Garlic Butter Chicken can be found here at Tasty Oven. It’s a one-pot meal that makes for easy cleanup.

I served this with a side of steamed broccoli for even more veggies – a side salad would be good, too.. If you’re not concerned with keeping the meal low carb, add a side of crusty bread for a yummy dinner.

Crochet Little Bunny Faces

Posted on March 6, 2026 by Anita

Hi friends,

This sweet crochet little bunny face from The Knotted Nest is so adorable! 🐰 It doesn’t take much time to stitch up and will add a touch of whimsy to your Easter. 😊

You can find the pattern here at The Knotted Nest. She made her little bunnies into a garland along with cute crochet flowers that are also included in the pattern. There are also instructions for making both ears straight or one of them bent – so cute!

I stitched up my bunnies using I Love This Yarn in Gray Mist and White using a G/4mm crochet hook. You’ll also need a little Poly-fil to stuff the bunny. My finished bunnies measure about 5 inches by 3.5 inches

These little bunnies would be so cute peeking out of an Easter basket or tucked onto your Easter mantel. 🐰

Happy Easter Bunny Silhouette Card

Posted on March 4, 2026 by Anita

Hi friends,

Easter is just a few weeks away on April 5th. Time to get those cards made! 🐰

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.

Super fast, super easy, and super cute!

Hoppy Easter Door Hanger

Posted on March 3, 2026 by Anita

Hi friends,

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 circle for 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. 🐰 🙂

Birthday Girl – Handmade Card

Posted on February 25, 2026 by Anita

Hi friends,

Hannah Girl from Unity Stamp Company is so fun for making a birthday card for that special birthday girl. 😊

I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white card stock and colored her with Copic markers. Using these Petite Scallop Mini Slim Stacklets, I die cut around the image and layered it to light blue card stock. Then I added Diamond Glaze to the green balloon to add a bit of shine.

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.
