Easter Basket

This is an Easter Basket I made using the Scallop Envelope. Sorry, the picture is so blurry.

Easter Chick

Well, I can't believe I'm so far behind in my blogging. I completely missed March and now it's the last day in April. I have been busy though, so I will post some photos of some of my projects and then write about them later.

Polka Dot Punches Heart

This is a card I created using a couple of the new Sale-a-bration sets "Yummy" and "Polka Dot Punches" that I had my customers do at a recent workshop. We used Night of Navy cardstock, Bashful Blue cardstock, and Whisper White. They loved using the Big Shot using the Top Note Die. Ink was Night of Navy and the ribbon was the 1/4" Night of Navy Grosgrain ribbon. We used the new Full Heart punch that coordinated with the Polka Dot Punches SAB set.

Love You Much Top Note Die Candy Box

It was so much fun to make this candy box. I learned how to make it from Lyn Put's instructions that she had found on Splitcoast from KarenG. I didn't have light weight card board, so I cut up a cereal box to use instead. I used a glue stick to glue a piece of copy paper to the side of the cereal box. On the other side of the cereal box, I put Chocolate Chip card stock. Then I sandwiched all into my Sizzix Big Shot. I then ran the Candy Cane DSP through the Big Shot using the Top Note Die again. I trimmed the edge and glued it to the Chocolate Chip Top Note. I decorated the top using the Heart to Heat Punch, Trio Flower Punch, Crop-a-dile, Mini Glue Dots, Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon.

Love You Much Valentine

This is my latest creation made with the Love You Much Bundle. I used the In-Colors Pink Pirouette and Riding Hood Red. The DSP is called Candy Cane which is also in the Bundle. I stamped the LOVE image with Black Stazon and colored it in with a Blender Pen and the Riding Hood Red ink pad. I used the Heart to Heart punch that came with the Bundle to punch out the hearts after I stamp them on Riding Hood Red cardstock. I also used the Scallop Circle Punch and used a 1/8" hand-held punch to punch out the holes. I used the Scallop Edge Punch on the Candy Cane DSP. I used dimensionals to attach two of the hearts. I used the 1" Circle Punch on the Hugs and Kisses and attached to the center of the Scallop Circle.

Holiday Lineup

These were gifts that I made for a couple of co-workers at my school. I, of course, drank the Frappuccino first, then cleaned the jars and lids out. I added homemade carmels, and store-bought candy to fill the jars. I measured the length and width of the cardboard container and used Sticky Strip to attach the cardstock.

Snow Swirled Embossed

This is my version of a card stamped by Carol Payne. The tree is stamped in Creamy Caramel and the snowflakes are stamped with Real Red. Then I stamped the tree in Versamark and to align it with the first tree, I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig. Next, I sprinkled the image with Heat and Stick powder. I heated the Heat and Stick with my heat tool until it melted and sprinkled it with Dazzling Diamonds. I punched each Whisper White corner with the Ticket Corner Punch. I stamped "Season's Greetings" with Real Red ink and tied 1/2" Striped Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon to my card.
