Each time I offer an in-person class or event, I love to gift the participants with a treat package. For March, I decided to use Stampin’ Up!’s 3 1/8″ x 3 1/8″ Acetate Boxes to create an Easter treat. Find these boxes in Stampin’ Up!’s 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Each package contains 10 clear boxes. Note: These boxes are being discontinued and are available while supplies last. Get them now for $4.80. Shop my online store to see all of the other items included on the Last-Chance Sales.
I have a special offer for you: Purchase $35 of any product (before tax and shipping) from my online store and use the Host Code: TX23EFVK. I’ll send you a free kit to create this treat project at home. You’ll need a little adhesive, a Black Marker and a Chalk Marker and some shredded paper. Colors of ribbon, card stock, and shimmer paper may vary. Offer ends April 10, 2022.
The other products I used to create this cute packaging includes:
Heart Punch Pack
Double Oval Punch
Layering Circles Dies
Gingham Embossing Folder
Supple Shimmer 12 x 12 Specialty Paper
Miscellaneous Stampin’ Up! retired punches.
Create the rabbit, assemble the box, fill with chocolate and shredded paper and you have great Easter basket contents. I also love to give treats to the ladies at the gym and in my book club and bunco group during special holidays.
You can also use the punch art rabbit as a focal point on a greeting card.

Timeless Tulips Easter Card
For me, after growing up in North Dakota and Minnesota, the tulips poking out of the ground signaled the beginning of spring. (I love tulips, but the hot Arizona weather doesn’t support these beautiful flowers.)
Please note: The current edition of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog retires May 2, 2022. To make room for new products, some current items retire. This includes the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set, on sale for $14.40. The Tulip Builder Punch carries over into the new catalog.

Art Gallery Easter Card
My card uses products from Stampin’ Up!’s Art Gallery Suite. Find it beginning on page 32 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. It features a 5 1/4″ x 4″ inch piece of the Golden Garden Specialty Acetate. This gold foiling is just gorgeous. You get three different designs of this acetate for $9. I feel this acetate and the design below works well with any of Stampin’ Up!’s colors. The Flirty Flamingo provides a pretty, pastel background that, to me, says Easter and spring.
Other products used include:
Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Sentiment from the A Wish for Everything stamp set
Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pads
Linen Thread
To achieve the dimensional look on this card, I first stamped the base flower (stamping off once) with the Old Olive pad. On a scrap piece of Basic White card stock, I stamped the flower shown (stamping off once) with Flirty Flamingo. I then inked the flower accent with Flirty Flamingo (full strength) and stamped on top of the first image. I die cut it with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine and carefully snipped off the colored flowers. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the flower heads to the top of the card.

My Easter Card
What do you do when you don’t have any Easter stamps? You peruse the Stampin’ Up! catalog and search for inspiration. I found my inspiration on page 109 of the Annual Catalog. It’s a watercolor, eclipse card. I thought this style worked well for the card I wanted to share. It features the the Hand-Lettered Prose dies.
Here’s a quick recap of how it goes together:
Cut Shimmery White card stock – 5/14″ x 4″.
Use Aquapainters to give a wash with Pear Pizzazz, Coastal Cabana, and Highland Heather.
“Splatter” ink onto the card front.
Die cut the word with the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies.
Layer the Shimmery White onto a Highland Heather base.
“Pop up” the letters using pieces of Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add the “Blessings” sentiment from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set on a watercolor piece with Highland Heather ink.
Die cut with the label from the Merry Christmas Dies.
Attach the sentiment with Glue Dots to the front of the card.
Color five Pearl Basic Jewels with Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends. Attach to front of card.
Please let me know if you have questions about this card or how it was created.
