Egg Bunnies

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Here are some little Easter goodies that I made with some white plastic Easter eggs that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. 

 

The head/face was made using some paper punches.  I tied a ribbon around the center and added a button with some baker's twine.  The base is 3 hearts that I punched out, glued to together, and then attached the egg with some Scor-Tape.

 

For the tail, I just attached a white pom pom.

 

Inside holds a little bit of candy.

Supplies:

Paper:  Bazzill

Misc:  Paper punches, white shred, plastic Easter eggs, candy, ribbon, button, baker's twine, black Sharpie pen, pop up dots, white gel pen, pink chalk, white pom poms, Scor-Tape

Catered Crop Star Gazing Recipe Swap

Today, I am participating in the Catered Crop Star Gazing Recipe Swap.  I made this card for my brother, for his birthday.

Stamps:  My Favorite Things-Big Greetings

Ink:  Versafine

Paper:  October Afternoon, Bazzill

Misc:  My Favorite Things Star Die-Namics, Papertrey Ink Alphabet Die, pop up dots

Sweetie Tilda Valentine

 

Well, I'm back to work full time at both of my jobs, boo hoo!  After the pain subsided from my surgery, I enjoyed being at home, crafting and watching tv!  Needless to say, I'm still finishing the Valentines that I started!  So, here is a Tilda easel card.  I'll put it away in my stash for next year.

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Magnolia-Sweetie Tilda, Studio G-Sentiment

Heart Doily Treat Sacks

 

Here are some super quick heart doily treat sacks that I made.  All I did, was stitch around the doily with my sewing machine.  I left an opening about 3 inches long, stuffed them full of M&M's and then stitch the opening closed.  A quick simple tag tied on finished the project.

 

 

I originally wanted to fill them with the cinnamon red hearts, but I couldn't find them anywhere!  I went to Target, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Publix, and Party City and no one had them.  But, the plain M&M's did the trick just fine.

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Stampin Up-Sentiment

Ink:  Memento

Paper:  American Crafts, Bazzill

Misc:  Heart doilies, ribbon, Martha Stewart doily tags, paper punches, glitter, pop up dots

Davey Turns 21!

 

My nephew/favorite Soldier turns 21 this week!  I can't believe how old he is!  I decided to make him a special Soldier birthday card to commemorate this special day.  He is currently stationed in Texas doing his training.

 

My Soldier stands 9 inches tall.  He was made with a variety of paper punches and Nestabilities.  The cupcake is one of my favorite Sizzix red dies.  The 21 was made using the Cricut Sweet Treats Cartridge.

Whoo Hoo, More Valentines!

 

Happy Superbowl Sunday!  I am spending the day at my sister's house.  It's our 2nd Annual Superbowl Sunday Craftapalooza!  We are crafting all day while watching movies then the game tonight.    We always have a good time together.

 

Here are two more Valentine's I made.  I really like this paper pad from American Crafts.  It's called "With Love".  I've been using it a lot!  I got it at Target.

Lace Heart

 

This is one of those cards that I really wish you could see in person.  The pictures do not due them justice at all.  I made some free standing lace hearts on the embroidery machine.    The card base is 5 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches, so the heart is a pretty good size.  I made some little paper roses, added some pearl spray and some paper punched leaves.    I also realized that I don't really have very many Valentine's Day stamps, so I have to keep using this little from the Papertrey Ink set, Friendship Jar Spring Fillers.

 

Here is a close up:

 

Supplies:

Paper Punch Sweethearts!

 

A few more Valentine's Day Cards to share.  This time, I decided to do a little paper punching.  My last few paper punch peeps have been wearing pants (astronaut, cowboy, cowgirl), so this time I went with some little dresses.

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Papertrey Ink-Friendship Jar Spring Fillers

Ink:  Memento

Paper:  Bazzill, American Crafts

Misc:  Paper punches, baker's twine, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing folder, glitter, chalk, black Sharpie pen

Yay, More Valentines!

 

Here are two more Valentine's that I finished.  I decided to make a "tall" card, it's always good to try something different.  The designer paper (underneath the hearts) is actually from a Christmas Bo Bunny pad that I had!  It really didn't look "Christmasy", so I think it worked out just fine.

 

The hearts were cut using Nestabilities and I just adhered scraps of the dp underneath the heart "holes".

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Hero Arts-CL498

Paper:  Bazzill,  DCWV, Bo Bunny

Ink:  Versafine

Misc:  Buttons, Heart Nestabilities, red Sharpie pen

Yay, Valentines!

 

I made some Valentine's Day Cards while I was watching the Law & Order: SVU marathon today, (alternating with resting on the couch).

 

This is one of my many Pinterest inspired cards:

 

From stampinconnection.com

 

 

I'm pleased with the way my card came out.  I decided that I would make two of each card, it is just as quick to make one as it is two.  I did (for the first time) make my own glitter hearts.  I had seen a tutorial on Papertrey Ink at Christmas time, and I never got around to trying it, so I decided to try it with hearts.  I just punched the hearts out of the cardstock, and ran it through my Zyron, then sprinkled glitter onto them, easy peasey!

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Papertrey Ink-Friendship Jar & Friendship Jar Spring Fillers

Ink:  Versafine, Memento

Paper:  Bazzill, Basic Grey

Misc:  Doily, glitter, Zyron, pop up dots, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, baker's twine

Happy Birthday, Mom

Hi everyone!  I had my surgery on Wednesday and I have been resting the last few days.  Today, I decided I try and sit at my craft table and finish the birthday card for my Mom.  We won't mention it, but her birthday was on the 19th, but I have been a little busy!  She actually prefers it when her cards/gifts are late, that way she can spread out her birthday festivities!

 

 

This is a three paneled card, obviously!  I used a variety of dies, stamps, and paper punches to make this card.

 

 

To add extra dimension, I double stamped, and added lots of extra layers with pop up dots.

 

Liquid Pearls were used to make the sprinkles on the cupcake.

 

I used a heart stick pin to make the banner, where I signed my name.

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  My Favorite Things-Hello Cupcake, My Balloon, Holly Girl, Big Greetings

Paper:  Bazzill, MME Allspice, Jillibean Soup

Ink:  Memento, Versafine

Misc:  Flower brads, liquid pears, heart stick pin, Sizzix Fence Die, Papertrey Ink Alphabet Die, My Favorite Things Die-Namics Clouds, Grass, Copics, pop up dots, The Cats Pajamas Cut Ups Pennants Die

 

For the past two days, while I've been alternating between laying on my bed and the couch, I've been scouting for Valentine's ideas on Pinterest.  I'm excited about making some, so I think I will start tomorrow since I can sit at my table again.

Baby Shower Favors

Hello everyone, sorry I've been gone for so long!  I hope you all had a nice holiday.  My nephew, Dave, came home from the Army, so it was so awesome to see him.  I can hardly believe that I diapered that boy when he was a baby, and now he is this "a lean mean fighting machine!". 
 

I've also been working a million hours a week at my two jobs!  I'm having my surgery next week, and I'm trying to make extra cash as I will be out of work for a week.  I'm currently in the middle of 15 days straight with no day off! This, of course, severely cuts into my happy crafty time.
 

I did get this order of baby shower favors done.  I've made favors before this lady, she works with my sister.  She ordered 25 water bottles and 25 candy favors.

The candy favors were made by making a small onesie tent style card.  Inside are two Hershey Nuggets.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Papertrey Ink-Just The Ticket
Ink:  Versafine
Paper:  Crate Paper, Bazzill, Dear Lizzy
Misc:  Water bottles, Hershey Nuggets, paper punches, Nestabilities, powder drink mix, baker's twine, pop up dots

Purple Pedicure Presents!

 

This was a special request from Kelsie's mom, Valerie.  She watches two little girls and needed something to surprise them with this Christmas.  She said that purple was their favorite color.  I used this template to make the boxes, I just made two of them to hang back to back.

 

Here is the side/back view:

 

To personalize each gift, I cut the Open Oval Scallop My Favorite Things Die-Namics Die.  I stamped the stems using Papertrey Ink Blooming Button Bits Set, then glued some of my crocheted hearts onto the stems.  Using some alphabet beads, I spelled each of the girls' names on to the front.  I filled the boxes up with various items every little girl needs for pretty fingers and toes!

 

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Papertrey Ink-Blooming button Bits

Ink:  Memento

Paper:  Bazzill

Misc:  Crocheted hearts, alphabet beads, pop up dots, ribbon, Scor-Pal, My Favorite Things Open Oval Scallop Die-Namics Die, naill polish remover, mani/pedi supplies
