Happy Easter to those of you who are celebrating today.  Hope that you have a fantastic day with your families.  🙂  The April My Paper Pumpkin Kit arrived in the mail from Stampin’ Up! on Friday so, of course, I tore right in!  This is what the kit created:

The cute little white frame and 12 fantastic tags!  There were also some leftover die cut hearts, a button and some twine, so there was plenty of extras to create some additional projects if you’d like.

A little closer shot of the frame, I love the way that it turned out, the colors are some of my favorites.

There was even a bellyband type wrapper and some ribbon to tie around it so the little frame is all ready for gift giving.

A quick shot of the ink spots, stamps, extra twine and all of the completed tags and the gift frame.  I thought this kit was so cute…I even know exactly who I’ll be giving it to!  If you’re interested in signing up to receive the monthly kits from My Paper Pumpkin, click here to go to the My Paper Pumpkin website and sign up.

I also put together the cards from the Happening Simply Created Card Kit that you can find hidden away on page 31 in the Occasions Catalog.

The kit is only $14.95 and you get card bases, embellishments and envelopes to create 15  cards!

I used the sentiment from the Another Thank You photopolymer stamp set and Smoky Slate ink from my own stash for this card.  The two die cut tags, piece of Glimmer Paper, button, twine, polka dot panel and card base all came from the kit.

I used the Says It All stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) and Strawberry Slush ink to create this card.

For this little thank you card, I used the sentiment from the Lots of Thanks stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) and Smoky Slate ink.

And I created a birthday card just like the thank you card above with the sentiment from the Create a Cupcake (wood mount and clear mount) and Smoky Slate ink.
