Happy Easter!
Happy Easter everyone! Hope you had a fabulous holiday.
When I was in South Carolina, my aunt gave me her cast iron lamb cake mold!! I was so excited! There were many years when I made this cake with my grandma. We decorated it, packed it in a Girl Scout cookie box and drove out to Pittsburgh for Easter with this in the trunk. Remarkably, it always survived the 12 hour drive. I did have to share a picture with my aunt and cousins since they didn't believe that I would make it. My recipe was pretty vague, but I got the general idea of what to do. Tip: Don't substituted almond milk for regular milk. It didn't turn out the first time, so I was glad there was time to make a second cake.
Each month, my club hostess has to give me an idea of what they want me to do in club. This time I was challenged to use one of three Easter stamp sets she had. It was definitely a challenge because I hadn't owned any one of those!
The stamp set I chose was called Blessed Easter. It was actually a wood block stamp. Remember those? It made us appreciate the clear stamps. I colored the stamp with three of the In-Colors that will be retiring next month.
Actually, most of the card is made using soon-to-be retired supplies. Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness, and Just Jade are retiring colors. Also the In Good Taste DSP sill be gone. It has actually been around for 2-3 years and that is long in DSP time! All the same, I will see it go.
One very new item are the tulip cut outs along the bottom. At first glance, you think they would be a nightmare to adhere to any card or project. I just want to say two words:
ADHESIVE SHEETS
Have you heard of them? They have been in my room for a year and completely forgotten about. Big Mistake! I just add a strip of the adhesive sheet on the back of a piece of cardstock. Cut out the image with the die and Cut & Emboss machine, adhesive sheet on the bottom. They turn any die cut into a sticker! No messy glue to deal with. Fabulous! In fact, I ordered an additional sheets since they will be going up in price next month.
Don't have them? Take another look. I consider them a hidden gem in the Annual Catalog.
And also don't forget about them like I did.
Hope you had a Blessed Easter yourself.
