The Peeps Have Hatched (mini treat totes)

I made a few last minute Easter treats for my Bible study Group...

I hope they like Reeses Peanut Butter eggs!

I made them bright and cheery with pretty designer Paper

and a little bit of PUNCH ART.

(Wide Oval Punch and the Bird Builder Punch).

The little Mini Treat Holder was cased from Becky Roberts

who I meet at Convention last year,

and she got the idea from Dawn O.

and I put my little touch on it.

Here is a little diagram of the measurements

Start with a 4 3/4" x 4 1/4" piece of card stock,

I used Marina Mist

 Score on the 4 3/4" side @ 2" & 2 3/4"

Score on the 4 1/4" side @ 3/4 & 3 1/2"

Cut the score lines @ 3/4" & 3 1/2" but

NOT IN THE CENTER SECTION

Fold Flaps inward and adhere with glue to form a rectangle.

Fold Up Large side panels and adhere to sides of

small rectangle.

You are now ready to decorate with a patterned  Designer Paper layer

cut 2 1/2" x 1 3/4"

Now you can decorate as you like by punching a 1/4" hole in the top,

string a little ribbon and decorate with a little Peep.

I hope you have fun with this and my other Easter projects.

and Thanks to Dawn for creating this fun mini tote idea!

Have a BLESSED EASTER!

Ears to You! Treat Holder

Here's Another Project from my recent Easter Stamp Camp using the 

Stampin'Up single stamp " ears to you !"

I just love how this turned out in the Spring colors and how the

pastel Peanut M&M's look so perfect as little Easter Eggs.

Oh, did I mention that Peanut M&M's are my PERSONAL FAVORITE.

sooooo, that meant for every 4 packed in the bag, 

one got packed in my mouth!

O.k. some of you know what I mean...

truly I can't be the only one who does that!!!

Don't you just Love those cute little butterflies, I just love having both

sizes of the Butterfly punches. I love the yellow one and how it really POPS

against the Purple color.

( Purple and Yellow are opposite on the color wheel and are

called complimentary colors, that is why they work so well together)

This fun project is also part of the FUN EASTER CHALLENGE HERE

Spot that Easter Stamp Set

1.  Cut a piece of Wisteria wonder 4 1/4" x 11".

2.  Score on 11" side @ 4 3/4" and 6 1/4".

3.  Cut white topper 4 1/4" x 2 3/4" and score in half @ 1 3/8"

4.  Punch the edges of the topper with the Scallop Trim Border punch.

5.  Die cut an Oval about 1" from the score line using the Oval Collection Dies.

6.  Pack your M&M's in a Medium Flat Cello Bag, fold over the top and staple.

7.  Insert your candy filled bag into the Wisteria Wonder cover, pull up edges,

     cover with the white topper and staple topper in the middle.

     ( the Butterfly will cover the staple )

8.  Punch a Elegant Butterfly in Daffodil Delight.

9.  Stamp smaller butterflies in Tempting Turquoise and Wisteria Wonder

     using the stamp set Papillion Potpourri and punch with the

     Bitty Butterfly punch.

10. Pop up the butterflies using dimensionals.

11. Cut a Certainly Celery piece 3 3/4" x 1 1/2".

12. Cut a white piece  4 1/4" x 2 3/4"

13. Stamp ears to you! with Tempting Turquoise ink on the white panel.

14. Cut a small piece of window sheet or vellum paper 3 1/2"x 1 1/4". If you

     don't have either one of those products, you can find a soft plastic    

     packaging case (seems like every product is wrapped in them these days)

     and cut a small piece from a flat section.

15. Place this translucent piece over the bottom portion of your stamped 

     image. Lightly trace a line around the rectangle making sure your

     sentiment is straight. Avoid making pencil marks on the stamped images.

16. Now Cut around the rectangle on the penciled line and also around the 

     bunny ears.

     (TIP...try to leave a small amount of the white showing around the bunnies)

17. Attach to the celery panel and then to your bag.

Nature Walk Collage

I'm guessing I'm really a NATURE girl at heart!

So it makes sense that the Nature Walk set is one of 

my favorite Stampin'Up sets!

I think I especially love having the choice of 

7 stamp sets to create whatever I want, kind of like having

lots of ingredients for a recipe.

It really is the perfect set to make collage style cards

like the one I've done for todays card.

And why not cheat a little and make it even easier by following this weeks

 color and sketch challenges at the following sites.

Thank You for the inspiration Ladies!

and here are 5 Things I Loved about making this card.....

1. Just 1 ink color....Not Quite Navy.

2. Bold Contrast between the Navy and White.

3. Love the Egg stamped border.

4. The Bird stamped on the Marina Mist came out  

    better than expected.

5. Looped ribbon bow was EASY to Make.

Sale-A-Bration's Smarty Pants becomes Cute Overalls

Today I'm  S T R E T C H I N G  the 

PATTERNED OCCASIONS 

stamp set 

in the 2013 Sale-A-Bration catalog.....

and making a pair of OVERALLS with it!

How fun is that?

and It's EASY too!

1. Stamp the jeans TWICE in Pacific Point ink on 2 small scraps of white paper.

2. Cut out one full pair of jeans along inked design with SU Paper Snips.

    You'll never go back to other scissors once you have used these!

3. On the second pair, draw in 2 shoulder straps (rectangles)with a Pacific Point

    Stampin' Write Marker.

4. Cut off the legs of this pair just 1/4 below the crotch line ( this will give you

    a little tab to attach under the waistband of the full pair of jeans.

5. Trim around the edges of the image including the straps.

    * TIP *  if you want a trimmer waistline as my example has, simply

                taper the torso from the armpits down to the waist on each side....

      kinda like 50 crunches a day for weeks..LOL

6. Now glue the upper part of the jeans 1/4 tab to the full pair attaching it

     under the waistband.

7. Apply a couple of rhinestones where the straps meet the bib.

I kinda went CRAZY with this card but started my idea with the 

Sketch Challenge @ Create with Connie and Mary

It was fun using several colors from the Brights Collection...

Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, and Regal Rose, 

especially since it coordinates so well 

with the patterned paper from the Spring Catalog

Use Paper snips to cut away Sections of the Honey Comb Embossing folder 

to make the faux scalloped edges.
