Last night was my March Card Class & Game Night. This month we used the Flowering Tulips stamp set from Stampin' Up!® to create 3 handmade cards including a fun fold card. 

I offer this online class every month. In April, we'll be using the Let's Set Sail bundle. You can find more information and register for the April Online Card Class & Game Night here. 

If you missed last night's Card Class & Game Night and would like the complete tutorials for these cards, including all of the cutting dimensions, you can purchase the cardmaking tutorial in my Tutorial Store. 

You can also watch the replay of the Card Class & Game Night if you'd like to see how I put these cards together. 

I have more photos, supply lists, and more below. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

These new ombré treat bags are perfect for giving a little treat to Mom for Mother's Day or as favors for baby or bridal showers. They are food safe, so perfect for tucking a cookie or other treat. Of course, you could put jewelry or some other little gift inside for Mom. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

I used the Kangaroo & Company stamp set to create these fun treat bags. I stamped the momma kangaroo with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Gray Granite Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. I colored the flowers with Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. The tags are cut with the new Tailor Made Tags dies. I LOVE these dies. There are 4 different sizes of two different shaped tags. They are so fun and the perfect size for every gift! 

This cute little kangaroo has a joey in her pouch. What a perfect treat bag for Mom or it would be great for a baby shower favor. These kangaroos are colored with Crumb Cake and Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I stamped the hearts on the side with Crumb Cake ink and colored with the Pale Papaya Blends as well.

Because everything on these bags is cut with dies, there aren't really cutting dimensions besides the piece of patterned paper which is about 2 1/4" x 1 3/4". The cardstock for the tags needs to be at least 2 1/4" x 4 1/4" and the cardstock for the large kangaroo needs to be at least 3 1/2" x 3 3/4".

I can hardly believe it's spring and Mother's Day is right around the corner! Mother's can be hard to shop for, especially mothers who seem to have everything already. Here is a fabulous gift idea for Mom or anyone. A little patterned paper, like the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper, a great greeting set like the Happy Thoughts stamp set, some dies, and a pack of note cards and envelopes make it quick and easy to pull together a fabulous gift for Mom. 

Cardstock:

• 8 ½” x 5 ½”, score at 4 ¼” & 7”
• 2 ½” x 3 ¼”

Patterned paper:

• 1 ½” x 5 ¼”
• 2 ½” x 5 ¼”
• 1 ¼” x 5 ¼”

White or Vanilla cardstock:

Here's a little sneak peek from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog of the Beauty of the Earth suite which includes the Beauty of Friendship stamp set, Beautiful Trees dies, and Beauty of the Earth patterned paper. 

This suite is absolutely gorgeous! The patterned paper has water color designs that will work fabulously with the dies to create watercolor trees. 

The trees are stamped in Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow, and Early Espresso. I added Polished Pink spots to one of the trees to suggest flowers and a spring tree.
