Valentine Treat

Here's a little topper I did for a mini M&M's bag of treats.  I used the Create a Cupcake Stamp set, along with the Build a Cupcake Punch.  These two together are so much fun!  The little "love" is a stamp from the  Tiny Tags Stamp Set.  One Heart is punched using the Heart Embosslit (love that die) and the other is punched using the Heart Punch and running it through the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder.  I used Real Red, Chocolate Chip and Blushing Bride CS. The edge was punched with the Eyelet Border Punch.  I punched the cherry out using the Build a Cupcake Punch and colored the stem brown with my Chocolate Chip stampin' write marker and put a little shadow using the White Gel Pen.  You can't see the back (sorry), but I added a Heart from the Filled with Love Stamp Set to cover the staple in the back. 

Little Gift Box and Gift Card Holder

I saw this on Angie Juda's U-Stream this week-end, aren't these cute?  She gives you hands-on instruction.  It's so awesome.  This year's Christmas colors are fun!

The Stamp Set is Greeting Card Kids and the base paper is Crumb Cake CS.  The striped paper is the Elegant Soiree DSP.  I sponged all the edges with Soft Suede Ink.  The square behind the image is Basic Black CS.  We used a little Dazzling Diamonds to make it sparkle (on the star and the fur on her coat).  The button on the front of the box is one of the new Antique Brads.  I also used the Eyelet Border Punch using Baja Breeze CS.  Hope you like it.  Big hugs, Julia

My Baby Buggy

I found this on-line by Sandi MacIver . She said it isn't her original idea but she does give all the directions on how to make it. She couldn't remember where she originally found it (sorry). You use the Large Sizzix Circle Scallop Die, (I used Bashful Blue CS) the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder. Whisper White CS punched with the Eyelet Border Punch. Use the 1-1/4" circle punch along with the 1/2" circle punch to make the wheels and the spinner on the hood of the carriage. A couple of brads from the Hodgepodge Hardware Kit and that's it. Check out Sandi's site for all the instructions. Thanks Sandi!

3 x 3 card ~ cased from Judy!

Here's a little card I cased from Judy today ~ you'd have to see it in person cause she doesn't have a blog .... sorry ~ but mine is pretty close to what her's looked like, in fact ~ I'll post a picture of her's too! Love you Judy!

This one is Judy's and totally cute!

And here is mine. I used the XL Two-Step Bird Punch with Bermuda Bay CS for the bird's body and Melon Mambo CS for the wings. Almost Artichoke CS and Close to Cocoa CS for the branch. I used Soft Suede to sponge the edges and for the sentiment which is from the Short and Sweet Stamp Set. Also Close to Cocoa Grosgrain Ribbon and the Eyelet Border Punch on the bottom of the card backed with Melon Mambo CS and sponged with the Soft Suede.

Thanks for sharing Judy and thank you so much for coming to visit today ~ our day flew by much to fast! (As usual!!!) :o)

Another Easter Basket

Here's another little Easter Basket that I cased from Splitcoast Stampers. Hope you like it??

I used the Pawsitively Prints DSP for the outside of the basket and YoYo Yellow CS for the actual basket and handle. I used the Eyelet Border Punch for the design with DSP on the handle. I used Bashful Blue Satin Ribbon for the little bow and the Yellow Striped Grosgrain Ribbon around the top of the Basket. The Happy Easter stamped with Soft Suede is from the Well Scripted Stamp Set stamped on pink CS from the Earth Elements Packet of CS and punched with the Scallop Oval Punch and layered onto Wide Oval Punched from Chocolate Chip CS. I added some tissue paper and Easter Candy to finish off the little basket.

Easter Basket

I made an Easter Basket with the Bigz Scallop Envelope Die Cut like they showed on Splitcoast this week. I used Bashful Blue CS along with the Autumn Meadows DSP. I used the Eggcoutrements Stamp Set and punched it out with the Designer Label Punch and backed it with Chocolate Chip CS punched with the Scallop Square Punch. I punched the handle for the basket with the Eyelet Border Punch and attached with Brown 5/16" Neutral Assortment Brad (the dark brown one).

Hope you like it! :o)
