Tag Topper Easter Favor

These little Lindt chocolate bunnies went home with me the other day and over the weekend I designed and created these cute little favors.  I took a picture of the three different favors I made while getting to the perfect size~~the Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight favor was the winner.  You will need a piece of cardstock measuring 7-1/2" x 2", scored at 3-3/4' and 4-3/4".  After scoring,  punch both ends of the cardstock using the Scallop Tag Topper punch.  The smallest oval framelit was used to diecut the front, placing it close to the bottom and off to the side.  The reason is so that you see more of the bunny and don't hide the face.  I adhered the bunny using dimensionals on the bottom.  Next time I am going to double layer the dimensionals so it stands up a little more.  I used the Itty Bitty Banner framelit for the sentiment and the little flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch set and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit to embellish.  On one I used our rhinestones, on the other little pearls. Have a great day and enjoy the Spring weather!

A Banner Blast

Sale-a-bration comes to an end on March 31st and I wanted to make one more card using SAB products.  Today's card was created around the Banner Blast stamp set and the coordinating banner punch.  After stamping and punching the little banners on the card, I hand cut the red and white longer banners.  The Baker's twine is wrapped around the card and to create the illusion that the banners are hanging from the twine, I adhered them using dimensionals placing the banner tops just above the twine.   I used the retired Stylish Stripes embossing folder to add texture to the card.  Two Real Red Candy Dots were added just because!  And before I put the stamps and ink pads away, I decorated the back of the envelope too!Have a great weekend and find yourself a little stmapin' time.

Quick Easter Favors

I was busy playing with Sydney yesterday, so I did not make a card for today.   But I am posting a photo of a variety of little Easter favors I made for the Cricut ladies.  I used the Explore to cut everything, but you can easily do the same thing with our framelits and/or punches.  The small Reese's peanut butter eggs fit perfectly on layered Oval framelits.  The chocolate coins (Palmer candy) fit perfectly on a couple of our circle framelits and also on a couple of punches that are layered.  I will be making these for Easter with a little sentiment banner added to the front.  Happy Easter (Teeny Tiny Wishes) will be stamped in a coordinating ink color, cut using an Itty Bitty Framelit and adhered to the favor.  A rhinestone colored with a Sharpie marker to match the cardstock will be the finishing touch on the banner.  Now I just need to hide the Reese's peanut butter eggs from myself!!!  Have a great day!

Vivid Vases & DSP

At this month's card classes we used the Vivid Vases stamp that is in the Occasion Mini.  It is on page 20 and is a single stamp.  As this was a popular item, I wanted to post another card I created using the stamp.  (I did customize the stamp for myself when it arrived.  Since I will use the vase part of the stamp more often than as a single image, I carefully cut the sentiment off the stamp before mounting it.  I then adhered the image to one side of the wood block and the sentiment to the other side.)  Now back to today's card!  I stamped the image on white cardstock and again on two pieces of Designer Series Paper (part of the SAB offerings).  I carefully hand cut the vases from the DSP.  After making a little shelf, I sponged the background lightly in Soft Sky and the shelf using Crumb Cake and adhered the DSP vases over the vases stamped on whisper white cardstock.  In my attempt to make this look like a shelf/wall in your house,  I punched the little "pictures" using the Petite Curly Labels punch and hung them on the wall next to the vases.  A sentiment will be added at a later date.  We had a great time with Sydney yesterday and we will be enjoying her again today.  Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine!!
