Welcome to the Stampin' Friends Blog Hop! Sorry I didn't hop last month but I am so excited to be hopping this month! This month's theme is pastels which is wonderful since spring is here!! I saw a gorgeous swallowtail butterfly on our fruit trees yesterday. Check out my Instagram to keep up with my stamping and nature wanderings...
For now, I am swamped planning for my Charleston beach retreat this weekend-- stay tuned for more details... so I needed something quick. I had Easter on the brain.... but I was using the Incredible Like You kit. I felt the colors were pastel (Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove, and Lovely Lipstick) and I knew an easy change could make a cute Easter card.

If you take the Grapefruit Grove striped circle and trim it into an egg shape it works- right??
Then I took the envelope and ripped it up and trimmed the piece so that I could make a tiny cracker container with the envelope punch board. I found the Easter Blessings sentiment in the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and stamped it in Coastal Cabana. I used the grapefruit grove twine included in the kit.
And I punched a window in the front with the Classic Label Punch and sealed it with a Window Sheet. I put a couple of those tasty chocolate eggs in there and now I've got a cute treat for Marianne!
I can't wait to see what others are doing with pastel colors... Wishing you a happy spring!! Don't forget to keep hopping along down below...
Happy crafting,
