Easter Treat

Hi everyone,

 

Things have been rather busy leading up to Easter and I haven’t had a chance to do any crafting.

 

But after browsing on the internet last night, I had a thought to create a little Easter Box for my daughter to take to school today and share some Easter eggs with her friends.

 

I have not ventured into creating anything with my punches I have just used them as punches but my searches let me to You Tube and I found a video that was linked by Dee - click here to see the video and the link to Dee’s website. Dee’ used her punches to create a little bunny.

 

Such a simple and creative Bunny but he needed a box to sit on and I found a video with a tutorial link on You Tube from SplitCoastStampers – click here to see.  The tutorial/video is for a Pillow Box Bucket and I got to use my Pillow Box die to create something else too.

 

Some of the punches I did not have so I used other punches or things in my stash to create the box and Bunny. 

 

There are also Silver Brads on the side of the box for the handle and I use a strip of the new Attic Boutique DSP.

 

Now isn’t he cute!  But the eggs look good too don’t they, hmmmm all that chocolate :)

Butterflies once more…

Hi everyone,

 

Hope that your week has been good, my weekend has come early no work tomorrow having a day off – yeah!

 

I do have a card to share with you ……

 

I have used the current sketch at Fetch A Sketch for the layout and once more there are butterflies appearing :)

 

The layers of butterflies have been created using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.  Love this die as it is so easy to create the butterflies. 

 

The butterflies are embossed and cut when you put the die through the Big Shot.  The extra butterflies that are not used each time I place in a container for later use and they always come in handy to add that little bit extra.

 

My colours this time are Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride with Very Vanilla.  I have stamped the swirl from the Creative Elements stamp set and the sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Creative Elements, My Friend

Card: Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla
Ink: Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade

Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslits Dies, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Modern Label Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

Perfect Words

Hi everyone,

 

Just wanted to share a card I recently created with the lovely Paisley Petals DSP.  I really like the bold, bright print on the DSP and there are so many wonderful colours in this DSP.

 

The colours for my card have been inspired by the colours in the DSP and I have used Not Quite Navy for the base of the card.

 

A strip of Early Espresso which I have twisted and folded on itself and then I sanded the cardstock to give it a a little bit of a distressed look.

 

The lovely butterflies have been die cut in River Rock and Bravo Burgundy using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Perfect Words

Card: Not  Quite Navy, Early Espresso, River Rock, Bravo Burgundy, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
Ink: Not Quite Navy

Accessories:  Modern Label Punch, Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die, Blossom Party Dies, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive, Designer Sanding Blocks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have also used the Blossom Party Die to create the flower and the sentiment is from the Perfect Words Hostess stamp set.

 

Of course there is always bling – it has to be my most used embellishment.

 

 

I would like to enter this card at the following challenges:
