Thanks A Bunch Easter Card
This Thanks a Bunch Easter Card, using the Thanks A Bunch and Celebrate You stamp sets by Stampin’ Up, is perfect for making a one-of-a-kind handstamped greeting card. One of the best things about the “Thanks A Bunch” set is that it’s suitable for all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crafter, you’ll find it easy to use and get great results. The set includes clear photopolymer stamps, which make it easy to see where you’re stamping, and ensure that your images are crisp and clean.

I love any stamp set that is Two-Step Stamping. If you’re unfamiliar with this term, it basically means that stamps that are usually one image (i.e., carrot and stems) are on two separate stamps so that you can quickly stamp the images in different colors. That’s the case with the Thanks A Bunch stamp set, which is so easy to use.
I wanted a whimsical soft color combination for this card, so I chose this color combination. I know it’s an unusual color combination for carrots, but I think it works! If you prefer a more “normal” color combination, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library, which has lots of different ideas for you!
