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!

Pick-up Happy Birthday

I copied my Sis' Judy's Pick-Up card to make this Birthday card, she found the idea at Lisa Young's site here.  I added a moon to mine...makes it kinda romantic! 

I used Old Olive CS for the landscape and Soft Suede CS for the card base.  The happy birthday is from the Perfect Punches Stamp Set and punched with the Large Oval Punch and sponged with Soft Suede Ink.  I made the moon by sponging a pice of Very Vanilla CS and punching with the 1-1/4" Round Punch to make a sliver of a moon.  The ribbon is Pear Pizzaz Stitched Poly.  The pick-up is from the Countryside Stamp Set on Water Color Paper and I colored it with pencils and the blender pen.

Sweet Treats

My Sis' Judy made one of these last week and shared with me.  Her's was a tad different, but not much.  The Matchbox cover is made with Clear Shet so you can see the Nuggets wrapped inside.  I used the same paper that Judy did, Autumn Spice DSP, I love the thickness, holds it's shape well when making 3D items.  The labels were sponged with Early Espresso Classic Ink and the sweet treats from Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set was also stamped with the same color on Very Vanilla CS.  The top label was punched with Old Olive CS while the other was the Autumn Spice DSP.  The belly band is Pear Pizzazz Stitched Poly Ribbon.  Thanks for the great idea Judy!

Spooky Halloween Box

Here's a little box I made using the new Wicked Fun DSP.  I cased the instructions from Angie Juda at Chic n Scratch's Ustream demonstration.  That lady is so creative.  The only thing I added that she didn't is the Pear Pizzazz Stitched-Poly Ribbon around the Basic Black CS belly band.  I did sponge some Pear Pizzazz ink around the edge of ivory cs that I stamped using the Wicked Cool Stamp Set.  I stamped the shoes with Rich Razzleberry ink and used the Stampin' Write Pear Pizzazz marker on her socks.  I punched the little bat with the new bat punch and sprayed him with Champagne Mist mixed with alcohol.  Can't see it in the picture, but it makes it nice and sparkly (is that a word?)..

Halloween isn't one of my favorite holidays, but the treat boxes and goodies are fun to create! 

Keep Stampin'
