East Basket Punch Art Card - CCJC7

Here is my entry for the Create with Connie and Julie Challenge #7:  Create an Easter Card
This card uses several punches:  word window, scallop circle, ornament, 1 3/8" circle, 1/4" circle, Designer label punch, and the scallop trim border punch. 
Colors are:  Chocolate chip, pretty in pink, whisper white, Rose Red, So Saffron, Ballet Blue and Blue Bliss.

I also used the Top Note Die and the Big Shot (I ran the top note thru twice, turning 90 degrees for the 2nd cut to get the fany square shape).  The DSP is Sweet Pea and I also used the Eggcellent Eggs Kit and the Eggcoutrements (clear mount) stamp set and pretty in pink satin ribbon.
Here's the greeting:

Easter Peek - Revealed

Here is what was hiding in the Easter Treat Carrier I posted yesterday:


These are made with the mini-milk carton die in the Big Shot using Pawsitively Prints DSP, pinking hearts border punch, Eggcellent Eggs kit, spiral clips (to hold them closed),  glue dots and dimensionals.  Aren't they cute?  Perfect for easter goodies for the kids!

Here's a look at the spiral clips holding the cartons closed and in the treat carrier:


The carrier was made from the same papers as the cartons and I used the word window punch to make the handle.

Easter Peek

Here's part of a project I recently completed....I'll show you the rest tomorrow.  I got the pattern and idea from Create with Connie and Julies' Mary Brown (see my side bar on the left)
This is a little carrier for an Easter treat...it uses some of the new Stampin' Up! products available now.



This is the DSP pawsitively prints and the Eggcellent Eggs decorating kit - it includes die cut flowers, leaves and swirls along with rhinestones and rub ons - too cute!  I also used whisper white cardstock, wide oval, scallop oval and oval punches and the Eggcoutrements clear mount stamp set that I colored with a Stampin' Write marker.  Colors are pretty in pink, so saffron, pale plum, bliss blue, bashful blue and certainly celery. The ribbon is the new satin pretty in pink ribbon available.  Of course I also used dimensionals, SNAIL, paper trimmer, scissors and glue dots.
I'll leave you with this shot of what's coming tomorrow....

Christmas Album - Part 2

Here's the remaining pages of the Christmas album I've been working on...

Again, this shaped album uses a variety of manufacturers' stickers, die cuts, papers (cardstock and patterned), ribbon, rhinestones etc.

Here's a couple pages with less "traditional" colors:

I'm so excited to have this finished so I can add my photos!

Hoppy Valentine's Day - CCJC4

I am so proud of myself :)  I created this little punch art frog to match my valentine paper....it's also my entry in the Create with Connie and Julie challenge this week (see the blinkie on my sidebar to the left)

I found these frog candies and already had this froggy themed paper so I thought it would make a cute valentine gift for one of my kids' teachers, she LOVES frogs!

I decided I wanted to try to  make an embellishment to match the paper (the paper is by K & Company) to decorate the packaging....so I pulled out all my punches and went to work.  I used several round punches in various sizes, a heart punch and the large oval punch.  Colors used are old olive, pretty in pink, real red, very vanilla, basic black and pixie pink cardstock.  I sponged the edges of the frog with gable green ink.  I used a bone folder to score my paper, punched the edge with the scallop edge punch, and used SNAIL adhesive to make my belly band and stick on the frog.

Here's the card I made to go with it:

Happy Halloween :)

These are some cute little treat baskets I made for my kids and nieces and nephews for Halloween.  I got the pattern from the Scrapbooks Etc. website....it's kind of like a take-out box, without the top closure.  This little baskets were only a couple inches tall, so it didn't take many treats to fill them up!

Here's another view of the fronts...there were 3 styles in all, a bat, jack o lantern, and mummy.  I used Stampin' Up! cardstock in black, pumpkin and white along with chocolate chip ink to "dirty up" the mummy.   The facial features were either cut from small pieces of cardstock scraps, punched out or drawn on.

Here you can see the backsides...I punched a scalloped circle and then stamped an image and placed it in the middle.  I added a small strip to the sides, attached with brads, for the handle.  The kids really enjoyed them.
Please email me if you'd like more information OR to order Stampin' Up! products!

Blessings!!

I know, this is a little out of season, but I'm behind in my posting!!  (Maybe I'm just early for this year??!)  Anyway, this is a little Blessing Mix - I altered the design that I had seen on the Chic N Scratch website - great for place settings at a family gathering around Thanksgiving!

Here you can read the poem attached to each treat bag...we used disposable cake decorator bags filled with the various food items, layered, and closed tight with a rubber band.  Then the top was decorated with ribbons, material scraps, or artificial flowers.  Cute!

Goblins & Ghouls, anyone?

So, I was feeling the Halloween spirit and decided to make this cute little album.  This album was designed by Mary-Jane Roussell for Ustamp with Dawn  & Friends Fall 09 and it was SO easy!  I did alter the book slightly, but it only took 1 sheet of 12x12 cardstock for the album, 1/2 sheet of a contrasting color for accents and a few scraps of patterned/designer paper to finish it off.  I think it turned out adorable.!
