Happy Easter! I love Stampin' Up!'s cute little rabbit. I wanted to use the technique of embossing on vellum and thought this would be perfect for Easter. I also wanted to use the current In Colors before some of the materials I had in those colors retired. I love how these projects turned out!

Have I told you I like to adventure? I think I might have mentioned it once or twice or maybe all the time. I was on spring break this week and I did not go on any adventures, so I had decided to adventure through crafting. I can't believe this bundle is retiring soon! It is so unique and versatile. I had to create with it before it is officially retired. I was inspired by the Stampin' Up! mug you'll see in my last picture for the colors.

I had to add a photo I took in Pagosa Springs. The morning was filled with fog which made for the perfect sun rays across these beautiful trees.
The strength of the ocean and you is inspiring! I love this bundle, soooo much! I wanted to do something a bit different and decided to make a night card. I used Pacific Point as the base and added color using blending brushes.

I had to use the Beauty of the Earth Suite this week. I have had it almost a year now and I have only made 1 project with it. I can't let it just sit on the shelf, in needs to be highlighted. I had not used the blue sky paper from this pack and I was determined to design a card using it. I love how easily this card came together. The Suite Collection made it beautiful! I love how every product coordinates so well.
Materials:
-Crumb Cake Card Base (5-1/2"x8-1/2")
-Beauty of the Earth DSP Background (4"x4-1/2") -Beauty of the Earth DSP Insert Decor (4"x1-1/2") -Very Vanilla Insert (4"x5-1/4") -Beauty of the Earth DSP Envelope Flap (5-3/4"x2-1/4") -2 Birds Die Cut -Tree Die Cut from DSP -Leaves Die Cut from DSP -Crumb Cake Ground (~1" hand ripped)
I just ordered the Stampin' Up! "What's Cookin' Bundle," and I absolutely LOVE it! The little kitchen tools are sooo cute! Here is my first design using the set. One of my favorite techniques is to use a shape over and over again in the background, which is what I did here with the cutting board. Steps to create this card:
This week has been very busy at work so it has been tough to find the time to craft. I decided yesterday to play with the Heart & Home Memories & More Cards, Envelopes, and Card Pack. I always buy the Memories & More Cards every time they have new ones, but I never use them! 😬 I'm not quite sure why I don't use them more often. It took me about an hour to use up all of the cards and card pack to create beautiful designs!  I started out by spreading out all of the cards so that I could see them at the same time. This made it easier for me to create with. I used the bumblebee trinkets to match the envelopes. There were only a few cards I had leftover because I ran out of card bases. The best part of this whole experience was not having to really design a new card. These coordinate so well with each other, the cards almost design themselves! 
I saw many demos use the Sale-a-bration DSP to quickly make cards with very little prep and the cards still looked gorgeous! I decided to use other DSPs in the same manner. I went through my stack and picked 4 different papers to use this simple stamping method on.
Project Supplies:
-Card base (8-1/2"x5-1/2") -Insert (5-1/4"x4") -DSP Front (5-1/4"x4") -Envelope -Envelope Flap (5-3/4"x2-1/4") -Card Decor (4"x3/4") 
I laid out the DSP card fronts and picked out sentiments that fit the space as well as the theme of the DSP. I also wanted a variety of sentiments so that these cards can be used for different occassions.

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.

When creating cards for women, I like to think about my interests because I never can find cards that I am really drawn to or really encompass who I am. I know I'm not alone, so I wanted to create a card for all those women that love adventure in the outdoors! I was inspired by the Horizons DSP, it is absolutely breathtaking!
I used the masking technique to add a sun behind the trees. I used both Bumblebee and Pumpkin Pie Ink to add variety and make the sun a bit darker since this card is supposed to be during sunset.
I included a picture of me on one of my adventures. This was taken last fall in Pagosa Springs. This is the most beautiful spots I have been to so far.

Along with the Wedding Favors, I also was able to create matching Thank You cards for friends' wedding. These were so fun to create and I was able to use my favorite layout! I absolutely love designing cards for specific people and/or occasions. It makes it easier to design because I can pull-in specific colors, patterns, and stamps.
When I do bulk orders/projects, I always prep all my materials first and then put them together. I have found if I complete the same task, I am much quicker. I cut all my pieces out, stamped everything that needed stamping, and adhered everything together.
I love to make everything useful, so I decided to add a matching bellyband around the acetate boxes. I told my friends they could gift the acetate boxes filled with treats after they used all the cards. They loved this idea!
