Candy Easter Baskets

My grandkids love Kit Kats!  I cased this basket from "Just Sponge It", Cindy Wilkinson's blog.  The candy bars were hot glued together and a bottom added from a piece of dsp packaging.  Wrapped it up in a cello bag and ribbon from Stampin Up.  Instead of a card I made large tags from two stamps I've had for ages.

Aside from burning my fingers on hot glue this was a fun project to make.  I know the kids will love the candy!

Thanks for visiting today.

Easter Bunny Cards

Love this bunny from the Stampin Up Fable Friends set.  I made several of these in different colors.  I used the Basket Weave embossing folder as well.  I saw several versions of this design on Pinterest and decided to make them.  It was a quick and easy card to make.  Colored with my Blends and forgot to give him some ground to stand on...oh well.  He is cute though.

Thanks for visiting.

Crafty Turnabout

When I saw this set from Concord & 9th I knew I wanted it.  And I knew the first card I made would go to a special crafty friend in Pennsylvania, Nancy at Nanny's Pansy Patch here.
I purchased the bundle that included the dies to cut out many of the images.  You can check it out and see the video here.

The ink and cardstock are all from Stampin Up.  I love that you can change the colors as you "Turnabout" the stamp.  It doesn't take much to get the hang of it.  It's a fun stamp set to play with. 

Thanks for visiting today.

Petal Palette Just A Note

This card is almost a total case of a card made by Su Mohr here. I needed a "just a note" card to send to a friend and this fit the bill perfectly.

Plus it gave me an opportunity to put some ink on previously un-inked stamps and put my new stitched rectangle dies from Stampin Up to work.

Stamps:  Petal Palette, Flourishing Phrases

Happy New Year and thanks for visiting today.

Christmas Santa Clause Card

Santa's head shot is actually a Spellbinders die set.  I made this card a month ago and for the life of me can't find it.  It's one of the small die sets that is packaged on a 6x3 1/2 backer piece.  I die cut all the pieces on Neenah white card stock except Santa's cap. Part of it  was die cut  on red glimmer paper. His face was colored in with Copics.  I added some Viva Pearl Pen to the brim of his cap and pom pom.  The Merry is from a Penny Black die.  Card stock is Stampin Up Smokey Slate and Basic Gray.  The designer paper is from a 6x6 paper pad from Michaels a few years ago.  I added a few snowflake sequins and rhinestones and it was done. 

The hunt continues for the missing Santa die set!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Merry Christmas Jolly Bingo Bits

This was a fun card to make.  I had no idea in my head when I dug this old SU Jolly Bingo Bits stamp set out of my tub of holiday sets.  

I stamped and embossed all 24 of them in gold.  Punched them out with a 1 " circle punch and mounted them onto the smallest Stitched Shape Square from Stampin Up.  Played around with placement on a 5x7 white card base.  The Merry Christmas was cut from a Penny Black die 5 times in white and once in gold foil paper.  I didn't use all 24 pieces but saved them for a rainy day!  Here's the inside:

I'm as usual scrambling to finish my Christmas cards.  Thanks for visiting today.  Stay warm and dry if you're in the "snow" path this weekend.

Happy Scenes Christmas

My official start to making Christmas cards this year.  I've actually made a couple others that haven't been posted but now it's down to the wire to make sure they get mailed on time.  I used the Happy Scenes Stampin Up set and the Hearts Come Home set.  Also used the Card Front Builder die to make the moon and stars across the top.  No sentiment on the front but inside is a little surprise.  There is a pocket on the back of the front that will hold a gift card or a special note or ........? You can catch a glimpse of the red pocket in the photo below.

Hope everyone is staying warm and cozy.  Thanks for visiting.
