Easter Class this Thursday (day or evening)

Hello stampers!  I finally designed the third project for this week's class.  It uses the new Petite Purse die for the Big Shot.  (As a demonstrator, I could preorder this die in March.  You can get it starting on April 1st!)

Here's a photo of all three projects for the class:

  I have the ruler next to the purse to show you the size.  The purse is 3" wide, 2" tall and 1 1/4" deep (front to back).  You can fit lots of little goodies inside! 

Wouldn't those little purses make the cutest little shower favors???  There are so many different ways to decorate the purse, too!  It would be adorable made from Designer Series Paper, don't you think?

Come to the class and make these cute projects for yourself! 

Cost:  $12.00

Date:  Thursday, March 22.  Times:  10:00 AM or 7:00 PM (Please note:  Currently I have only one person signed up for the evening class.  I need at least three people in order to hold the class.  Don't delay - sign up now.)

 

Easter Chicks

Here's a card my club members made yesterday.   Aren't these chicks just the cutest?

The chicks are made with the 2-step bird punch.  After I punched out the bird, I re-inserted it into the punch and took off most of the tail.  You could achieve the same look using scissors to cut off the tail.

Stamps:  Just Believe (plants), Teeny Tiny Wishes (sentiment).    Colors:  Daffodil Delight, Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz, Bashful Blue, Whisper White.    Accessories:  Big Shot, Perfect Polks Dots Embossing Folder, Two-step Bird punch, Boho Blossoms punch (wings), Modern Label punch, Word Window punch, Daffodil Delight 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.  A sponge and More Mustard ink were used on the birds to add dimension. 

if you look closely, you'll see that the Perfect Plum frame is raised up.  I made the frame by taking a rectangle of Perfect Plum cardstock and cutting away the inside 1/2" in from each side, basically cutting a rectangle out of a rectangle.  Easy to do with a sliding blade (not a rotary) trimmer.  I then mounted it to the card using dimensionals.

Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Easter Bunny Carrot Box

Here's a cute little box I made this morning from a pattern my fabulous upline, Jan, sent me.  This was fun!  Enjoy.

 
I punched a hole in the back so the recipient can see the treats inside (no treats inside this one yet).  It's hard to tell from the photo, but I put a piece of one of our window sheets behind the hole so the treats won't fall out.

 
A side view, to show how thick the box is. 

I know, I know ... You want to make one of these, don't you?  Well, you can!  Click HERE for a FREE .pdf file of the box.  Have fun creating!

All I Need to Know About Life I Learned From the Easter Bunny

Someone sent this to me in an e-mail.  I changed it just a bit and added the last line about the "PEEPS".  Enjoy!  I'm off to make something Easter-y that I can attach this to ...

All I need to know about LIFE I learned from the

EASTER BUNNY

 

Don’t put all your EGGS in one basket

Everyone needs a FRIEND who is all EARS

Don’t count your CHICKS before they are hatched

There’s no such thing as too much CHOCOLATE

All work and no play can make you a BASKET case

Let HAPPY thoughts multiply like RABBITS

Walk softly and carry a big CARROT

Everyone is entitled to a bad HARE day

Some body parts should be a little FLOPPY

Keep your PAWS off other people’s jelly beans

Good things come in small SUGAR-coated packages

The grass is always greener is another’s BASKET

An EASTER BONNET can tame even the wildest hare

To show your true COLORS you have

to come out of your shell

Sometimes you have to HUNT for

the GOOD THINGS in life

Nurture your relationships with your PEEPS

Easter Scrapbook Pages

My scrapbooking club made these pages at last week's meeting.  We used A Good Egg (pg. 29 of Idea Book & Catalog) and Inspired By Nature (on the dormant list) stamp sets.  We used the Wide Oval punch for the eggs.  That punch is perfect for making eggs! Colors are Bashful Blue, Gable Green, Pink Pirouette, Almost Amethyst and Lavender Lace.  Enjoy!
