Easter Bunny

It’s the Easter Bunny!  He’s from a SVGCuts file called Bunny Hop and his head comes off to make a box.  I did him up in Whisper White and a retired Designer Series paper – no idea what it was called!  But he’s cute and easy to assemble and will look darling for an Easter display.  The only thing he’s missing is a big, fuzzy tail – and I can take care of that   Hugs, Fran

Easter Dress

Feeling very springy today – even if it snows.  This card base is the exclusive SU Pop N Cuts Base and Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper.  The tag was made with the Scallop Tag Topper punch.  The words are from Blessings From Heaven.  I masked off sections and made the sentiment tighter so that it would fit on the tag. 

And here she is with her Easter Eggs.  The eggs were done with the small oval punch.  I punched them and then put them on a sticky note back into the punch so they would have a more “egg” shape. 

Stamp Sets – Blessings From Heaven, Petal Parade
Card stock – Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Sweet Sorbet DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Crisp Cantaloupe
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base and Dress Form insert, small and medium oval punches, Oval Framelits, Pistachio Pudding ribbon, pearls, Scallop Tag Topper punch, Doilie tape, Itty Bitty Shapes punch

The photo quality isn’t great – sorry.  The Crisp Cantaloupe seemed to “glow” while I was taking pictures.  Hugs, Fran

Eggs in a Box

We are doing fancy folds at my team meeting this Sunday and this is the one I’m doing.  It’s a Card in a Box and it folds nice and flat to fit in a regular envelope.  I’ve made larger ones but this cutie is tiny!  I used the measurements on Splitcoast – scroll all the way to the bottom to find the measurements for an A2 card. 

My eggs are the large oval punch and the flowers are the Petite Petal and Bird punches.  The grass is made with the Fringe Scissors.  The little bunny/lamb  is from Eggstra Specatular. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Eggstra Spectacular
Cardstock – Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Large Oval punch, Scallop Edge punch, Petite Petal punch, Bird punch, Candy Dots, Fringe Scissors, small butterfly punch, rhinestones

Now I have a question for you – if you use Pinterest, would you rather see boards set up by stamp sets or catalogs.  I currently have mine set up by stamp sets which makes for a lot of boards.  I’m wondering if it would easier to just do it by catalogs or themes.  What do you think?  Hugs, Fran

Spiral Rose Bouquet

I made these Spiral Rose Dum-Dum lollipop roses for another project and had lots of them left over just sitting on my desk.  So…..I made this!  The base is a little, plastic Easter basket – 50 cents at the grocery store – with a 3″ Styrofoam ball pushed inside.  I pushed the sticks into the ball and it covered almost all of the Styrofoam.  For the few spots that were showing, I punched some tiny flowers in Wild Wasabi and used corsage pins to stick them in the spaces.

I decided to add a little butterfly for some “bling!”  I used a piece of wire and glued it between 2 butterflies punched out of Silver Glimmer paper.  After it dried, I added two small butterflies and some rhinestones colored with a Black Copic. 

To make the roses, die cut a Spiral Rose die and punch a hole in the tab at the center that is large enough to push your stick through.  Then use your bone folder to curl the Sprial Rose.  Once it curls, you might want to roll it up with your fingers to give it more shape.  You don’t need to glue it – just push your Dum-Dum stick through the center and add a green flower punch to the bottom to look like leaves. 

Supplies
Cardstock – Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Silver Glimmer paper
Etc – Spiral Rose die, Flower punch, rhinestones, small basket, Styrofoam ball, wire

Then you have a sweet gift for a friend – or a cute decoration for yourself.  Hugs, Fran

Blessed Easter

The Watercolor Wonder Designer Note Cards (page 22 in the mini catalog – 133362) are nice, heavy weight cards that are ready to stamp and color.  Blessed Easter fits perfectly on this one!  You could make a lovely set of cards by using different colors for the tulips and masking off the sentiment and using other ones. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Blessed Easter
Ink – Jet black Stazon, Crushed Curry, Gumball Green
Etc – Watercolor Wonder Designer Note Cards, aquapainter

I prefer to watercolor with ink from the ink pads – it gives a more vibrant color.  But there are lots of ways to color.  Use your favorite and give it a try!  Hugs, Fran

Happy Easter

The Easter Bunny got up early to set the table for brunch   These little bunny boxes are sitting at everyone’s place – don’t they look cute?  The tutorial came from UStamp with Dawn and Friends Big Shor Roundup and were designed by Teresa Giordano and are made with the Petite Purse die and lots of punches.  Very clever!  Thanks, Teresa – they add the perfect touch to my table today!.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!  Hugs, Fran
