MY FIRST EASTER IDEA FOR YOU

HEY BLOGGIES,

Holidays always sneek up quickly on me and I don't get to make everything I want to before it comes and goes.  Does that ever happen to you?

Well, I thought since today is March first, I would share my FIRST Easter creation with you.

It is simple but cute, cute cute.

Punches and dies make this little darling card.  AND the Fringe Scissors too.  The card was made with the scallop circle die, leaving it hand over the edge of the fold just a little bit so the card is hinged on top.

The wings are also made from that die and I just cut four scallops off for each wing.  The eyes are circle punches,  The beak was fussy cut from a folded piece of card stock.  And the top knot is from the fringe scissors.

Hope you enjoyed this little cutie!!

See you again with another Easter Idea.

BAA BAA PINK SHEEP, HAVE YOU ANY WOOL?

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have card class tonight and have made a cute treat holder for them as a gift for attending,  I showed you my wisteria wonder lambs a few weeks ago, tonight I have some pink sheep treat holders.

 My Easter centerpiece consists of a cute bunny tea pot, some adorable ceramic sheep, some bunny salt shakers and now these cute pink sheep treat holders.

 Scallop tag punch and some punches and VOILA you have a treat holder. The tag is supposed to be like a dog tag around the lamb's neck.

Here is tea pot bunny and her new friends.  Oh, the little duckie ring we just bought for one of our granddaughters.  When you press, there is a blinking light that comes on.  FUN!!

Come back tomorrow and I will show you the fun cards we are making tonight.

Thanks for stopping by!! I have a question for you:  which do you like - the lamb with only one spot for his nose or two spots for the nose?

LATE NIGHT STAMPERS CHALLENGE - PUNCH ART

HEY BLOGGIES,

I LOVE PUNCH ART!!  Because I do, it was very hard to decide which item to show you.  I decided to go with Easter punch art designs.

LATE NIGHT STAMPERS CHALLENGE - make art with punches.

 This adorable chick card makes me smile.  Large scallop circle die makes the card, scallop circle punch makes the wings and circle punches for the eyes,  I used the fringe scissors for his feathers on top.

 This adorable little lamb treat holder is made with the new Tag Topper Punch and wisteria wonder card stock.

I used the owl punch for the eyes and they came out big, which I like. He reminds me of the Serta Sleeper Lambs from the television commercials.

BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP treat holder is made here with the retired two tags punch.  His face is the oval punch and his ears the word window punch

Thanks for stopping by.  Won't you leave me a comment before you go?  I so enjoy hearing from you.  Thank you.

GHOSTS, GHOSTIES,,,,BOOOOO

I MADE A SUPER QUICK CARD THIS AFTERNOON AND GOT THE SUPPLIES ALL READY FOR MY CARD CLUB THIS WEEK.  AND....I DISCOVERED A NEW WAY TO USE MY PUNCHES!!  SOOOO AWESOME FOR SOMETHING CREATIVE TO JUST POP INTO MY HEAD WHILE I AM PLAYING WITH MY CARDS.

FIRST, HERE IS THE CARD:

THE BASE OF THE CARD IS BASIC GRAY, THEN A LAYER OF CAJUN CRAZE AND THEN THE DESIGNER PAPER (RETIRED) CALLED FRIGHTFUL SIGHT.  MY GOAL THIS FALL IS TO USE UP ALL MY DESIGNER PAPER BEFORE I PURCHASE NEW!!  I HAVE SO VERY VERY MUCH.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOME RETIRED PAPER THAT YOU LOVE, I WOULD BE GLAD TO SHARE SOME WITH YOU!

BACK TO THE CARD...SEE THAT ADORABLE LITTLE GHOST IN THE RIGHT HAND CORNER THAT MATCHES THE PAPER AND THE STAMP?  I MADE IT MYSELF!!!  YEP I DID!!  HERE IS HOW I MADE IT:

YOU NEED THE 1 3/4" OVAL PUNCH AND THE WORD WINDOW PUNCH.

 I AM USING CONFETTI WHITE.  THAT IS WHY YOU SEE BITS AND PIECES OF STUFF ON THE CARD STOCK.  FIRST, PUNCH AN OVAL WITH YOUR PUNCH.

 THEN CUT THAT OVAL IN HALF.  YOU WILL MAKE TWO GHOSTS.

MAKE A MARK WITH YOUR FINGERNAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OVAL AT THE WIDEST PART.  USING YOUR WORD WINDOW PUNCH, PUNCH A SMALL SNIP OUT JUST A BIT LEFT OF CENTER.  THEN PUNCH AGAIN A BIT RIGHT OF CENTER.  USE YOUR BLACK MARKER TO MAKE THE EYES AND THAT'S IT!!  ISN'T HE ADORABLE??!!  REMINDS ME OF PACKMAN GHOSTS.

I MADE THE BANNER BY USING MY SQUARE PUNCH AND CUTTING A V IN EACH END.  I USED SMALL GLUE DOTS AND HUMPED IT UP TO LOOK MORE LIKE A BANNER.

THIS IS THE INSIDE, BUT THE 2 OVAL PUNCHED CS IS JUST SITTING THERE FOR YOU TO SEE.  ONLY THE COMPLETED GHOST AND THE BOOOO ARE ATTACHED TO THE INSIDE.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS CARD AND VERY EASY TUTORIAL.  IF YOU MAKE SOME GHOSTS FOR YOUR CARDS, I WOULD LOVE A LINK BACK SO I CAN SEE THEM!!

BOOOOO TO ALL Y'ALL.
