Easter Bunny Basket

I found this on Inking Idaho's site, I didn't have the chicken stamp so I used the bunny from The Nicest Things Stamp Set.  I colored him with Water Color Wonder Crayons using the Blender Pen.  The basket is made from the Petal Cone Die cut down ~ Becky has the instructions on her blog Inking Idaho.

I used the Pink Pirouette, Early Espresso, Whisper White and Old Olive CS.  The handle was made using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.  I also used the Scallop Circle Punch and 1-3/8" Circle Punch.  The ribbon is Night of Navy Taffeta.  The Old Olive CS was crimped and then cut in little strips.  I had some little chocolate Easter Bunnies that I tucked inside!  Won't be long and that bunny will be hoppin' down the trail!

Easter Basket 2011

My Chicnscratch did a little Easter Basket this morning on Utube.  So cute!  Thanks for sharing Angie.  Here's my version! 

I used the Nursery Suite Specialty DSP for the sides.  The box is Crumb Cake CS, the Scallop Circle is cut from Marina Mist.  I sponged the outside of the White Circle with Marina Mist Ink and the rest with Crumb Cake Ink.  I added three little pearls on the front.  The handle is Pear Pizzazz Stitched-Poly Ribbon.  Go to Angie's site and you can watch the Utube tutorial or wait and she'll do another one on her blog.  She's so awesome!  The rabbit is from Forest Friends Stamp Set, love that little guy!  I added a bag of Jordan Almonds in the pastels to look like Easter Eggs!  Hope you like it!

Perk Up!

Another card-lift from Laurie Zoellmer, I love her ideas!  Thanks for sharing Laurie.  Here's my version:

I used Take a Sip Wheel and Morning Cup Stamp Set for the perk up! and single coffee cup.  The card base is Poppy Parade CS and the backing paper is More Mustard run through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I used Poppy Parade Stampin' Write Marker to add color to the flowers on the cup and the heart.  I used the Scallop Trim Border for the strip of Poppy Parade CS behind the line of cups.  I also punched a Scallop Circle out of the Poppy Parade CS and mounted the single cup and perk up! punched from 1-3/8" circle punch with diminsenionals.  I sponged around the circles and other design done with the wheel in Soft Suede Ink.  Doesn't this remind you of the old Harvest Gold and other retro colors from the 60's??  (Any of you old enough to have lived in that era!!) tee!hee!

Joy at Christmas Notebook

I cased this from Chic n Scratch, almost the same, just different! I used some little subject notebooks and layered Poppy Parade CS, then Jolly Holiday DSP with a strip of Pear Pizzazz CS punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. I used the Stamp from Perfect Punches, stamped once in Pear Pizzazz and again with Poppy Parade Stampin' Pads. I punched them out with the Scallop Circle Punch and the 1-3/8" Circle Punch and layered them on with Dimensionals. I added a little ribbon on the side made with Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon. Never to early for Christmas!!!

Valentine Gifts

How cute is this ~ I covered this little tin mail box with Pink Flamingo DSP. I used the Love You Much Stamp Set for the birds on the front of the mailbox and for the designs on the flag as well as for the Love you much on my little 3x3 gift card that fits inside along with the 4 Nugget Chocolates covered in the same DSP, with a little tag made with the Tiny Tags Stamp Set and Punch to match now available from the Occasions Mini Catalog that starts today, a bit of ribbon and coloring, viola..a cute little gift for someone you love on Valentine's Day.

Shelby's B-Day Card 2009

Another Birthday! We have a lot of them this month. Bob's oldest Daughter and her two girls, his youngest Daughter plus my Sis' and a couple of friends! This one is for our Granddaughter Shelby ~ she lives in New Hampshire. I used the Just Buzzin' By Stamp Set, Basic Black CS and Crushed Curry CS and Pens for coloring. Circle punches and the Scallop Circle Punch. This is a diarama card, it has clear window sheet in the circle to make it look like a window. Hope she likes it! :o)
