I'm giving away the Jar Full of Spring stamp set, so I couldn't resist playing with the set again.
I'm also using Blue Sky crinkle ribbon and the new Fancy Edgers metal die, the grass shape.

I love the speckled eggs in this set, I hand cut the eggs leaving just a hint of a white edge, I like that look.  I also stamped hand hand cut out the cute chocolate bunny and tucked him in and egg that I cut in half using an old pair of zig-zag scissors. I tucked all the eggs into three layers of the grass.

The cloud shape is a metal die cut from My Favorite Things, the Die-namics Cloud Trio

Below is the inside of my card, I used the other half of the egg and added a chocolate bunny... uh-oh... someone got hungry and took a bite of the chocolate bunny. Really I used a tiny heart punch and punched a corner of his ear, looks like I took a bite huh?  Hee Hee.

Day 5 Big Sentiments -New release

Hello all my friends, I hope you have followed along this week for the fabulous Stamp Release Party for My Craft Spot, I know the design team and I have really enjoyed sharing many inspiring projects with you as today, day 5, the inspiration continues.
We are showing a sneak peek of the new Big Sentiments stamp set designed by Kimberly. 

I made three 3 1/2" square note cards for today's project using the new stamp set, I also included two of the new metal die sets Fancy Edgers, and the Small Bow.
The fancy edgers are so fun, there are 6 edges in that set, three various scallops, one grass shape, one notebook torn edge shape and the torn edge or deckle (which ever you would like to call it), this is the shape I used on my card below.
The Small Bow is such a fun die, I love how you can lay the tails horizontal or you can cut the tail in half and hang them down as I did in the photo below.
I wanted to add a simple look to the plain ivory background paper, so I headed to my sewing machine and removed the thread then sewed, I love the look of the simple poke holes with out thread. It was so fast and easy.

Thanks for joining me for day 5 of sneak peek, please join us tomorrow for the My Craft Spot blog hop where the design team will once again inspire you with more projects using one of the 5 new stamp sets and metal dies. Also each design team members (including myself) will be giving away one of the 5 stamp sets or metal dies, generously provided by Kimberly.
All 5 of the stamp sets including the 4 metal dies will be available for purchase tomorrow at My Craft Spot.
One last thing, remember to head over to My Craft Spot today to see the many other amazing projects made by Kimberly and her design team using the brand new Big Sentiments stamp set and leave a comment on Kimberly's blog (My Craft Spot) today for your chance to win the Feel Better Soon stamp set click -HERE for My Craft Spot.
