Hey, there crafty friends! Long time, no blog! I took a bit of time off last year and to say it is good to be back is an understatement! Crafting really is therapeutic I think! Anyway- today I am sharing my latest batch of handmade cards. I made 10 cards using the adorable "Bunnies and Blooms" collection by Simple Stories. I was on the Simple Stories Design Team back in 2020 - I am still such a fan of everything that they put out, so plan on seeing lots of Simple Stories projects here on my blog!

Let's jump into the cards! Like I said, I made 10 cards using many parts of the collection. Here are all of the cards:

As far as materials go I used these products from the Bunnies and Blooms collection:

-6x8 Paper Pad

-3x4 Elements

-Tags Cut apart paper

-Cardstock Sticker Sheet

-Chipboard Stickers

-Foam Stickers

-Bits and Pieces Ephemera

-Journal Bits Ephemera

-Decorative Brads

-Enamel Dots

-Color Vibe Cardstock in Peony, Sky, Blush, Lilac, Mint, and Green

I also used a few other products - a scallop circle metal die, a stitched rectangle metal die, a 1 inch circle punch , some white sheer ribbon, some white crochet thread, and some Nuvo Dots in Simply White.
