As we walk through the Sale a bration brochure the second free stamp set (with a $50 order) is the THANKS A BUNCH stamp set.

At first sight my thought was "who would want a stamp set with a carrot?"

In fact, I have heard several say the same thing...until...they see the talents of other demonstrators, making adorable cards. I made a few for the display at our retreat.

First off is a cute box inspired by Rachel Tessman

This treat is made with our Envelope Treat Boxes

You can decorate these boxes in so many ways. This carrot box was embossed with the Timber Embossing Folder and sponged with some Crumb Cake Ink

Other Product Used: Double Oval Punch, Brushed Brass Butterflies, Ribbon (retired)

Card #1 was inspired by Amy Koenders. This card also is featuring the Dandy Designs (FREE) DSP with a $100 order.

Colors are mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie with Granny Apple Green

Other product used: Stitched Rectangle Dies, Linen Thread, Adhesive Backed Milky Dots

Card #2 features the same Designer Paper as in card #1, but it is a fun fold. I would say that I prefer card #2

Card #3 has Pale Papaya carrots. I like the brighter color of the Mango Melody, but I do like a change. This one was inspired by Jackie Bolhuis

Other products used: Faux Velvet Trim, Stylish Shapes Dies.

Even the little dirt marks are stamped with the carrot shading stamp.

I think that this is my favorite card so far. It was inspired by one of our Artisan stampers Tammy Wilson

Other products used: Timeworn Type Embossing Folder, Timber Embossing Folder, Retired scalloped edge die from Meant To Be, Black & White Gingham Ribbon, Linen Thread, Versa Mark & White Embossing Powder, Gems (I think I used some retired clear ones that I colored with a Pool Party Stampin' Blend.

SERIOUSLY!! I have seen some great ideas using this stamp set, so don't judge a book by it's cover! I also think it will be great for scrapbooking. However I don't think that our son will ever grow carrots in his garden because he absolutely hates them. Go figure - it's one of my favorite vegetables.

This is a super cute card combining the Thanks a Bunch stamp set with the EASTER BUNNY Stamp Set, AND...the FRAMED FLORETS Dies. Inspired by Coul Heure Papier.

We, as a team, each made table decorations for the Mid-Winter retreat. We all used the Stampin' Up! logo boxes and one of the boxes I made had the cute bunnies and carrots in it

After the retreat someone from each table was able to take one of these home.
