Easter Blessings from the Lamb of God

I just finished up an Easter card tonight for a gift tomorrow, nothing like waiting until the last day to get it accomplished, right?!  Well, in my defense, it's been pretty busy the past couple of days.

I used the Lamb of God set from Imagine That.  I have loved this set ever since I first saw it.  I only wish I had sat down and got creating with it sooner.  The fun thing about digital stamps is that you can order it right now and have it in your hands in just a few minutes via download from Kris' store and your own printer ... awesome, right?!  Kris has a special going on right now too -

EXTENDED SALE:  Buy 3 / Get 1 Free sale is good thru the end of April!!  No coupon code needed, once you have you 3 sets in your cart, simply click the "add a note to seller" and tell me which set you'd like for free!  (KD-Kits excluded from deal)

I created this Easter flower basket last night for my Mom and added the ribbon and angel today.  Then I needed a card just as fitting for the Easter holiday, so I reached for the Lamb of God image and sentiment.  :)  I sure hope she likes it as much as I did creating it.

Card Details:  Lamb of God digi set, SU apricot appeal, bayou blue, white and pumpkin pie cs,
Recollections glittery flourishes, textured chipboard heart, sheer ribbon and
Spellbinders small ovals, lacy ovals and romantic rectangles.

May you have a Blessed Easter, everyone!!

Easter Boxes and Baskets for the KL SNS Challenge #23

Kristine challenged us this week to create a box of some sort, so with Easter right around the corner, I couldn't resist trying my hand at a cute little Easter basket (now I need some goodies to put in there).  I have been trying to eat healthier and get in shape, so Hershey's Kisses or Reese's PB cups aren't in the house!!  yet anyway *wink*

I was just dying to get my hands in that little packet of mini rose primas (shared a few with a customer this week too, so the packet is looking a bit empty in the photo).  :)

Anyway . . . I used some of the green mini rose primas with a pale yellow ribbon (close match to the Barely Banana cs, I think), Lemonade BasicGrey paper and my Martha Stewart doily punch to "girlie" it up a little.  The tutorial can be found HERE at SCS for the basket.

The stamp used here is from C. C. Designs and is called SweetNovember Baby Bunny with Egg.

It was colored with the Copics shown below as well as highlighted with the Signo white gel pen also available at KL Stampin N Scrappin.  There is a little sparkle added to the egg with a Sakura gel pen but of course it doesn't show well in the photo.

Last but definitely not least . . . My good friend, Luanne created these sweet bunny and chick boxes after looking at this Bunny Box Tutorial from Marie They were created with the Top Note Die from SU and paper punches.  I hope to try mine this weekend with my scalloped circle nesties and ovals since I don't have all of the punches.  But really . . . aren't they cute?!

Okay, so now you have to show us your boxed item.  Check out the challenge details on the design team blog for KL Stampin N Scrappin by clicking here!!  Come on and join the fun for a chance to win a surprise Easter package this week worth $15-20!!
