Sunday Share - A Sketch For Easter and Retiring Lists!😢😢

If you got my newsletter on Wednesday, then you saw the sketch and card I shared with you - here's a couple more cards I made to send for Easter using the same sketch. I really liked it as it's clean and easy to pull together with any papers, stamps and die cut or punched bits you might have on your desk.

Here's a reminder of the sketch - 

And here is the first card I made using the Easter Bunny Stamp Set and coordinating punch . . .so cute! I did fussy cut the butterfly to perch on the bunny's nose and the bunny and background Designer Series Papers are retired but perfect for the card. I added an eye with the Matte Black Dots. 

The second card used some almost purple background, so perfect for an Easter card . . . . .

Which one is your favourite?? 

Here's my links to the retiring lists for the Annual catalogue and the Spring Mini  - lots on sale starting April 9th so make your list and be ready to shop . . .but if you really want something I'd recommend getting it now as it could sell out by the 9th and then you'd be super sad 😢

The new Annual Catalogue will be totally different from any other, so I urge you to connect with a demo in your area to get on their list for a paper copy.  Meanwhile I will have the digital version on my blog even after I "retire from Stampin' Up!" and close down my online shop mid-April. 

Happy stamping!
