SALE-A-BRATION SETS (BLISS - SWEET SUMMER)

These two  projects were made with the Bliss and Sweet Summer stamp sets from the sale-a-bration catalog.  I got this card idea from Stampin' Connection - a resource for Stampin' Up! demonstrators.

I used the party favor box for this thank you gift box and just added a stamped image on the front for a gift to a friend.

DOWNLINE MEETING PROJECTS / DIAPER CAKE

We made the following projects at our downline meeting this past Wednesday evening.  Lily, my second upline, always comes up with he nicest projects and always keeps it simple.   



This card uses the beveled windowpane.  Ribbon is threaded through it to hold it in place. 

The brown, square box was stamped with a clear block as a back drop to the other images.  Love the Baja Breeze 1/2" seam binding ribbon.

Inside

I made this diaper cake for a friend who is throwing a baby shower for her son.  Tucked inside are lotions, onesies, washcloths, burp cloths, etc.

EASTER BASKETS

Easter is by far my favorite time of the year for projects.  There are so many fun and creative projects you can make with all the cute stamp sets and pastel color card stock.   Below is just one of many Easter projects I've made so far.    

 

I've had this Easter tree for years and thought I'd hang my Easter baskets on them for display.

BUNNIES, BUNNIES AND MORE BUNNIES

Here are two bunny projects that are sooo easy to make!  I used the top note die for the first project as a topper to my treat bag.  I scored the top note in half and stapled it to my cello bag right at the nose.  The heart shape punch covers the staple.    I used my oval punches for the ears and the heart to heart punch for the nose.

These little bunnies are also very easy to make and are great in multiples.  Tucked inside is a piece of Hershey's chocolate.  You start off with a piece of card stock measuring 5 x 1 1/2" then score at 2" and 3".  I used my oval punches for the ears and 1/2" square for the nose.

ENJOY!

TEXAS SIZE VALENTINE TREAT BOX

This past week I've been playing around making various Valentine projects.  One of the projects I made is this adorable Valentine treat box using our "retired" Petal Card Bigz Die and retired paper.  Stampin' Up! sells a Petal Card Extra-Large Double punch that would make this exact box, just a lot smaller.  The smaller size is perfect for the school kids Valentines. 

Item# 119273    $17.95

To create the Valentine box - punch two pieces of card stock, fold in the two bottom flaps, and tape them together.  That's it!  You can decorate and embellish as much or as little as you wish.  Enjoy!
