April Stampin' Sisters Group

This month we made two Mother's Day cards, one general purpose card and an adorable little box.  I also delivered everyone their surprise decorated card boxes.  They were a huge hit!

The photos below are decorated boxes I made for the Stampin' Sisters Group and for my upline, Tricia and Michelle.  Each one is different and customized for the individual.  I saw this idea on Stampin' Connection but I cannot remember who to give credit to.

March Stamp Class

The theme this month was Easter.  We made three cards and one three dimensional project.  I am sorry most of the group missed out with everyone being sick or the weather hindering our gathering.  I am so excited for next months class for Mother's Day!

Peeking Easter Bunny
I just absolutely adore these bunnies.  The design was CASED and then changed just a little bit.  Thank you to Tricia Hicks and Michelle Halleen for their bunnies that inspired me.  I made both a boy bunny and girl bunny version.  Who says all bunnies have to be pink?

I didn't take a picture of the back but I used the one punch from Boho Blossoms to make a cute little tail.
