Happy Easter!

Back again to share the Easter card sent to my granddaughter.  Brandy Cox was the inspiration behind this card.  You can view her card HERE.  As you can see, a few changes were made. The flower stamp from What I Love was still used for the background but not on the chick (from Honeycomb Happiness).  I stamped the chick on some Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper, cut out, and popped up with Dimensionals.  The stamps and DSP are Sale-A-Bration freebies (with a qualifying purchase).  The sentiment is from a single stamp found in the 2016 Occasions Catalog called, Easter Lamb.
I'm not as pleased with the colors as I had envisioned in my head.  Funny how that works sometimes.  lol  Oh well, it's the thought that counts!

Need to scoot.  Have a great Easter weekend and thank you for stopping by!  Your visits are always welcome and appreciated!

Easter Eggs

Hi there!  Hope you had a good weekend.  Saturday was spent with my stamping peeps.  Lots of fun!  Yesterday it was overcast with intermittent rain.  A good day to stamp.   We had company so not much stamping was accomplished.  Today I have another Card Buffet sample - an Easter card.  The "grass" is made with Fringe Scissors.  You can find them in the 2014 Stampin' Up! Celebrate Everyday Catalog (Occasions).  They're a fun tool to use.

This week is a busy one so must get crackin' on some projects.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hey Chick!

Hi there and happy Friday!  Wow, yesterday's temps were in the low 80's!  Picked up the granddaughter (a spur of the moment thing after an appointment) and headed to the park.  We sat on a bench to have a little picnic with the meal we grabbed on the way there.  It was so nice sitting there enjoying nature and people watching.  Hope you enjoyed the warmer weather, too. 

It will be Easter soon.  I'm sharing another Card Buffet sample, which was a special request from a customer.  I was happy to oblige with a card from the past because this chick is so cute!  My inspiration came from Corie Foster and her version can be seen here (scroll down to Feb 14 post).

Must tackle my to-do list.  Have a great weekend and thank you for coming by today!

Easter Cross

Hi there!  Thought I'd share another Easter card we made at one of the Wednesday stamp club meetings.  I just love this technique of cutting the Lattice Die shape to create the cross.  Pretty cool, huh?  I'm constantly amazed by people's creativity.   This card can be adapted for other occasions such as a wedding, baptism, or sympathy just by changing colors.  Pearls, flowers, and/or ribbon dress it up.  I chose to keep mine plain for the recipient.  The cross was adhered to the White cardstock before running through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice emobssing folder.  It gave the card a nice texture - much better looking in real life.  The focal piece is matted on Concord Crush, which works well with the Wisteria Wonder.

Paper: Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush, Whisper White
Other: Lattice Die, Square Lattice embossing folder, Pearl

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter.  I'll be spending time with family tomorrow.  Love it!  Need to sign off so I can prepare my food and begin packing for the Girls Getaway retreat next week.  Thanks for stopping in today!

Easter

Hi there and happy Friday!  Boy this week flew by.  Just stopping by real quick to show you an Easter card we made a few weeks ago at the Wednesday stamp group.  Thanks to my friend for bringing the instructions for this cool technique to the group.  Unfortunately, I don't know where she got the idea. (I'll edit later with that information)

Stamps: Your choice for inside sentiment
Paper: Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Everyday Enchantment DSP
Ink: Your choice
Other: Framed Tulips embossing folder, Scallop Trim corner punch, Pool Party ruffled ribbon

Need to scoot to finish some things before the granddaughter wakes up and we get ready to head out for daycare.

Have a Happy Easter and thank you for stopping by today!

Another Easter Card

Hi there!  Here is an Easter card that was mostly a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) from Teneale Williams.   You can see her card here - posted Mar 11 
I only made a few minor changes.  The first being the Pear Pizzazz piece under the focal image.  I didn't have any DSP with me so I embossed the Pear Pizzazz card stock on my ScorBuddy to simulate striped paper.  I was pleased with the results.  The Pearls were left off of the Baja Breeze panel, the eggs are in a different color order, and I used Baja Breeze ink to stamp the sentiment.  She made such a beautiful card so why change it!  Thanks Teneale for the inspiration.

Recipe
Stamps:  Easter Blossoms, Teeny Tiny Wishes (such a versatile set!)
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz
Ink:  Regal Rose, Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz, Versamark
Other:  Scallop border punch, Pearls, Very Vanilla satin ribbon, ScorBuddy

Tonight we Demos are meeting at Patty's house to work on our swaps for Saturday's Celebrate Summer Demo event.  (Looking forward to that!  It's like going to a mini convention.)  There are rumors that at tonight's meeting Don, the smoothie aficionado aka Patty's husband, just might be manning the "smoothie bar".  Hmmm, an evening with friends to stamp and slurp (er, I mean sip) some smoothies.  It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it!  We have a good time - smoothies or no smoothies!  If you have ever thought about becoming a Demonstrator, give me a call.  I'd love to have you on my team and you can join us in the fun!

Hope you have a great day.  Thank you for stopping by!

Another Card - and Post

Hello again!  Just wanted to share with you a sample of the adorable cards my friend (and upline), Pam D'Urso, sends to me.  Here is the Easter card she made from the Easter Blossoms set, which is now retired as of April 30th.  Pam is the "Queen of Clean and Simple" in my book.  I try the CAS look but fail to attain her style - so I copy her cards! lol.  I just love this card.  Who am I kidding?  I love ALL of her cards! 

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The egg colors are Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight, and Pear Pizzazz

The Challenge

Hi there!  Real quick post so I can get to bed.  I promised to show you my Demo challenge project which incorporates the brads/buttons containers Pam gave us last month.  I chose to make a bunny since it's almost Easter.  Most of his parts are made from punches.  I just sliced some super thin strips in the trimmer for his whiskers,  glued on some googly eyes, and added a pom pom for his tail.  A piece of our White Satin ribbon decorates the container (you can still get to the jelly beans inside).

Does my butt look big? LOL

So that is my project.  Hopefully, I'll have photos of the other projects on Thu.  Thanks for looking.  Have a great hump day - the weekend is almost here!

Pulling the Wool Over Your Eyes...

April Fools!  It's really the last card from my March Stamp Camp.  This was inspired by www.megastampinstudio.com who was inspired by Lynn Pratt's little sheep box last year.  I just think he's the cutest!  I used the owl punch and a 1/8" hole punch to make his eyes but you could use googlie eyes.

Recipe
Stamps: Something to Celebrate (sentiment)
Paper: White, Black
Ink: Black, Going Gray (retired)
Tools: Oval punches - wide, small, & scallop, Nestability large scallop circle die, Word Window punch, Owl punch, 1/8" hole punch, Finial Press embossing folder, Signo white gel pen

Thanks for stopping in today.  Have a great weekend!
