Cute little forest creatures make up this fun stamp set for the holidays.
The All Bundled Up stamp set (159824) is sure to bring smiles to the receipents face, after all who can resist a cute little forest creature? Check out these cards made using the set teamed up with other products from our Mini. I just love the fun tassel on this guys hat – our In Color Metallic Woven Ribbon (159196) has a knot in the center and then the ends have been frayed.
This fun card has added color to the images using a fun technique called Damp Tipped Watercolor pen ink painting. The technique gives a more textured look. It also added a bit of shimmer with the Clear Wink of Stella. Can you see the shimmer on the hat and scarf?
And how about this next card done in blues?
The Adhesive Backed Stars (159965) add a bit of iridescent shine and are beautiful in person. And finally a card with the cute little racoon.
Watercolor Pencils were used to give him a soft feel and the lovely Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon (159555) adds a bit of shimmer and shine to the project. And this ribbon is a dream to work with since it picks up the colors from the project you are working on and ties beautifully.

Tuesday was our monthly Paper Pumpkin Craft Time for open crafting – if you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me this time is for you – It’s my way of saying thank you for choosing me as your demonstrator.) So we spent the morning crafting together and sharing alternative ideas for the March kit.
If you haven’t seen the March kit it is super cute!
The kit always have a quick video in case you don’t want to read the instructions. LOL!
And I love the fact that Stampin’ Up! shares alternate projects for the kit if you don’t like the instructions included.
I’ve even seen the muslin bags whip stitched across the bottom to create a sachet filled with potpourri! Cool right?
So today I thought I’d share with you my alternate project that I made with the kit. I love to give little 3d gifts but don’t tend to use 3×3 note cards as often so I simply took one of our 2″ x 8″ Cello Bags (141703) and put some pencils I had picked up as basket stuffers for the kits and voila!
Cute? I’ve taken some quick shots to show you how I did the ears. I simply punched out a face using the punch 1 1/2″ Circle Punch (138299) and Whisper White Card stock and stamped the face I wanted. There are all kinds of cute combinations you can make with this kit. Then stamped the ears I wanted to use.
I fussy cut the ears and then stamped the floppy ear onto one of the stickers and cut it out before adding it to the ear.
A couple of the glue dots to attach the ears onto the face and added it to my note card that I turned so the opening went over the cello bag. The staple is covered by the bunny. I love the baker’s twine in the kit, so I tied a little bow to put on this little bunny with another glue dot.

Ducks, chicks and bunnies always make me think of Easter since my mother use to take us to the Bayshore Mall in the spring to see the eggs hatch, in a really big egg at the mall – over the weeks you could visit and watch the little beaks breaking through the shells to magically appear. It fascinated me every year. So what could be better than a cute little punch art bunny for this project?
I wanted to be able to create them they could be done for both the boys and girls in the family – so here is what I did.
I love that by simply placing the bow in a different location you have a different look – Peter
or Flopsy?
It’s your choice. My kids loved the story of Peter Rabbit growing up! And now I’ve got the song running through my head. LOL! Since it is supposed to be 78 for the high today and it feels like spring, can you blame me?
Notice the sentiment? It’s from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set – a wonderful sentiment set to start with since it has sentiments for all occasions!
Here is a chart for building your bunnies.

I thought I would share one last bunny project since Easter is tomorrow. This project is super quick and easy because the base of it is the Fancy Favor Die – Great for holding all kinds of chocolate treats that my family loves. Shhhh…don’t tell them, but they’ll be finding theirs tomorrow at their spot when we sit down for our Easter dinner.
My little bunny’s body was created using our Oval Collection Framelits Die. I used several of our punches to finish the little guy; you’ll find them listed below on the supply list.
Add a little sponging on the edges, some Multipurpose Adhesive and voila’ – The cutest little bunny around.
I hope that you’ll all have a wonderful Easter with your family. I’m really looking forward to spending the day with mine, my husband will even be home – yippee, so it will be wonderful to spend the day together celebrating Easter.
