Fling before the Ring Favor

My Daughter will be helping host a Bridal Fling before the Ring for a good friend of her's.  I made some little party favors for her friends.

I used the Bigz L Petite Purse die and after the little purses were cut out I ran them through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I made handles with Whisper White CS punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch and glued the little black handle that the die cuts over the top.  I used the Boho Blossom Punch for the little flower on the front and added a Basic Pearl Jewel in the center.  The little Mr & Mrs tag is cut from the It's a Wrap Occasions Stamp Set and attached using White Baker's Twine and a glue dot with a 3/4" circle glued to the back over the twine.  I know the gals will have a great time.  Inside I tucked a package of White Jordan Almonds made with small cellophane bags.

Best wishes Mr. & Mrs.!

Wedding Card

Here's the card I made for Bob's Granddaughter and her new hubby.  They were married yesterday in Laughlin, Nevada.  We couldn't make it to the wedding but wanted to send them best wishes for a very happy life together.

I was really pleased with the way their card turned out.  Love the new Labels Collection Framelits. Colored the pearls with a Sharpie for the "Marvin" heart!  The Forever & Always is from the Loving Hearts Stamp Set.  I used embossing folders, pearls, Black CS and Real Red CS along with the Very Vanilla CS..  They are awesome young people and I know they will have a very happy life together.  Our love and hearts are with them.

Easter Treats for my Grandson to take to school

 Here are all the treats we ended up making for Johhnny's Class (25 total) ~ hope it's enough?  I think he has about 23 classmates, we should be good?

And ~ for his Teacher, we made a little clear bucket with a stuffed rabbit inside and decorated it with the Pink Butterfly on top and made a little 3x3 card to match the decoration on top of the lid. 

May the Blessings of Easter find all my friends and family.  May the Easter Bunny hide lots of eggs for the little ones and hope everyone has a Blessed Day.

Big hugs from me....

Theresa's Birthday Card

Here's the card I made for Bob's new-found daughter.  It's the first Birthday card she's ever received from her Dad ~ after 53 years!  Hope she likes it?

I used the cupcake from the stamp set Got Treats.  I used Blushing Bride CS for the base card and ran a piece of Poppy Parade CS through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I used the Mat Pack to punch the corner pattern by the cupcake.  Basic Pearl Jewels and Blushing Bride Poly Ribbon for accents.  The Birthday Wishes is from the Water Color Trio Stamp Set.  The patterned paper is from In Colors Pattern Stack.  Oval Punch and Scallop Oval Punch around the sentiment and a couple more Basic Pearl Jewels. A little sponging and viola ~ Theresa's first Birthday Card from us!  Happy Birthday Daughter!

Candy Wrapper Rudolph

I saw this little candy treat holder on Kay Sha's site Creations on Paper and just had to try and create one!  I used the Candy Wrapper Die for the box and cut the reindeer's face from the Oval Punch and added some googly eyes and the nose is a Basic Pearl Jewel that I colored with the Real Red Marker and put clear embossing powder on and heated.  I used the Old Olive 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon around the middle of the box and the anlers were cut from the Sizzix Die Scribbles Swirls and I just cut off one part of it and glued to the back of his head.  The box is Rich Razzleberry CS.

Christmas Tissue Box Holder

Did you see the cute tissue box holder tutorial that was posted on Splitcoast Stampers last week .. here's my try at it!  I created a Christmas Tissue Box Holder using Real Red CS for the base, Candy Cane Christmas DSP for the layered panels and the pointsettas and "A Merry Christmas" stamp from the Bells and Boughs Stamp Set.  I sponged all the edges with Early Espresso Classic Ink and added some of the tiny pearls from the Basic Pearls collection to the centers of the flowers. Hope you like it?   

Birthday Card

Another year! I made this Birthday Card the same as one I did earlier, except I used the Early Espresso to sponge the edges of the water color paper. I used the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder. The stamp is from The Nicest Things Stamp Set and the Happy Birthday is from the Perfect Punches Stamp Set. I cut it out with the Large Oval Punch and sponged the edges. I mounted it with deminsionals and put some of the new pearls in the corners that were punched with the Ticket Corner Punch. It's layered onto a card base of Pink Pirouette CS.

Girl Birthday

I received the blender pens with my demonstrator kit and have never used them. I read somewhere that you are supposed to use them with Stampin' Write Markers and Watercolor Paper. Wow, I'm so glad I saw that tip!

I won't name all the colors of pens I used, the background layer is Pink Pirouette CS ran through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder layered onto Melon Mambo CS. I added 4 of the new Basic Pearl Jewels to the corners that I punched with the Ticket Corner Punch. The little girls are from the new set The Nicest Things and the Happy Birthday is from the Perfect Punches Stamp Set. I cut it with the Large Oval Punch. I used deminsionals to mount it onto the card.
