SSS Tim Holtz Stitches and Color Hues #105

I needed a special thank you note and had these darling TH Bunny Stitches out on my desktop... they proved to be the perfect fit for SSS It's a Stitch Up Wednesday challenge!  Looking for my stitches?  they are of the cross-stitch die-cut kind and part of this fun set...


My cover panel is a fun dsp from HoneyBee's Spring Fling,
and that fun sentiment is from Altenew's Ways to Thank You embossing folder!
Isn't it fun?  It embosses an entire 6-inch square of embossed 'label' typed sentiments with as many ways to say thanks as a crafter might ever need.


It's St. Paddy's Day and the perfect time to use this sweet
clover die from Stamps of Life that my cousin gifted to me:


I made a clover-shaped card and layered two greens for maximum impact.

I created my own 4-leaf clover from a tiny little violet die and green card stock.
This little bear is from Colorado Craft Co.'s Happy Day set.




For Color Hues #105 and you, and You, and YOU, too!

Well this sure is an ADORABLE post Michele! Your thank you card is absolutely sweet as can be with those darling little bunnies and I love all the stitching you included! This is definitely going to make that someone special smile!! And your St. Paddy's day card is just as sweet as can be too! I love the two greens together and how fun that you made the card a shaped card!

These cards are really sweet, Michele! Your bunnies are just the sweetest and have lots of gratitude to share. Love the bear and his clover, as well as the fun card base.

Both cards are wonderful, Michele. Love the bunnies with the little x-stitch. :) And the shamrock bear is so sweet!

Hard to find two cuter cards in one post! Love the bunnies, but your bear with the four-leaf clover stole my heart! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!

I do love bunnies and your trio is an extra cute way to say thanks! The floral paper in the background adds to the playfulness of these three. That bear is pretty darn sweet too posing in front of the big polka dotty shamrock.Two delightful cards, Michele!

Two cards full of sweet spring! Love those bunnies with their stitches. Reminds me of repairing the worn spots on the "lovies" when the boys were little. Love that shamrock card too - the layers and the way the sentiment hangs off the edge. Just the sweetest.

You're ready for spring with this fabulous display of adorableness! The stitched up bunnies are little charmers with their carrots and pretty floral background. Love that embossed sentiment. So cool! My heart belongs to the little bear and his shamrocks, both big and improvised small. Clever! He's such a sweetheart to go to all that trouble for his friend. I have to say, the big shamrock is pretty amazing with the texture and layers. Your cousin had some very neat stuff!

Bunnies and bears and clovers. Oh my! What a feast for the eyes, Michele. Clever you to make a clover shaped card AND a four leaf clover on the same card. Those bunnies are adorable and remind me of some my mother used to stitch up for the kids.

Bonnie said...

These bunnies with their carrots look like they could hop off the card! Such fun! I dearly love your sweet bear holding the four leaf clover! So clever of you to make the clover from a violet die!

Nancy said...

OMG! That bunny card is as cute as can be. I love every inch of it and the background too. WOW! As for your sweet Bear/Clover card he looks so pleased with himself for finding a 4 leaf clover. Darling card for any friend. Thanks for playing along with our Green and white challenge at Color Hues.

Michele, I love that you've taken spring holiday themed images and used them for different occasions! The bunnies are so cute but my heart goes to the little bear with his four-leaf clover. Well done converting the flower he's holding and creating a clover shaped card is just brilliant and rather unique, someone will cherish that one. Thanks for joining in at Color Hues!

Those bunnies are a delight with the little cross stitches and the detail on the background is perfection!

P.S. That shamrock shaped card is cute too! 💚

Kim S said...

Oh my goodness - I LOVE that "pile" of bunnies!!

Linda Callahan said...

A bunch of flowers and a bunch of bunnies and a bunch of carrots equals one adorable card! And your shamrock card is wonderful! I await the green of spring!

Those bunnies are divine, it's the details like the stitches and those sweet facial expressions, what a fun thank you card!
