Hippity Hoppy Easter Favor – Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

March 24, 2018 · 9 Comments

Happy Create with Connie and Mary blog hop day!

Our theme this week features Easter favors.

Perfect, as I made these sweet little Easter bunny treats for my co-workers and Card Buffet attendees on Sunday.

Aren’t these just too sweet? I originally saw these from a European demonstrator. I modified them to fit American nugget chocolates.

Super, super easy!

Bunny is a strip of designer series paper, 1 x 12. Score at 2, 5 1/4, 6 3/4 and 10. Nugget wrap is 1 x 3.
Use Tear & Tape on the ends, folding in, towards the center on the ends.
The two center score lines, fold towards each other.
On one of the ends, doesn’t matter which one, where the edge is adhered, apply another strip of Tear & Tape.
Stand bunny up, and adhere two ears together.
Wrap nugget and insert in bunny base.
Decorate. I used the Silver Baker’s Twine from the Spring mini to tie around the ears. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes punches with the Classic Label Punch. Pink flower is from the Petals & More atop the trimmed Leaf Punch

The side view shows the beautiful colors of the paper –

It took way longer to write out the directions than it did to whip up a batch of these! it’s a nice favor because you can use any kind of designer series or patterned paper you have on hand. Great for those scrap strips too!

I am so excited to go forward to Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown to see their Easter treats! I might be making even more treats for friends!!!

Quick post today for Try Stampin’ or not On Tuesday.

Here is the sketch we are working with –

Challenge #291

Optional Technique : Weaving

This one was a real challenge for me!

But, I persevered and came up with this –

I am so pleased with the way this card turned out. The layout just had me soo stumped!

I kept playing around with these papers and colors……whew.

Another view to see the detailing.

And, yes, the little cottage is fussy cut! And, popped up on dimensionals for some added fun!

I’d love to hear what you think about my take on the sketch! Comments are always appreciated!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Card #5

March 17, 2012 · 2 Comments

Ah, yes, a little past the Card Buffet. But, this was one of the card choices. I really, really liked this card. And, of course, did not want to give it out. But, you know, that IS the reason we make cards isnt it?

This card –

I sent to my daughter who is studying overseas. Snail mail love is always best. I hope she got it in time – you never know how to judge our postal system – much less anyone else’s.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Blossom Clover

March 12, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Well now, just look at this sweet little number sure to please for St. Patrick’s Day. It is already in the mail as we post this, but…….got a few things I wanted to post this week. And, I just had to share this in time for you to make one yourself.

I was just playing around – creating my round of cards for my March Card Buffet and I accidentally came up with these little clovers –

See, I was punching with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch and one punched shape was short a scallop. I removed it trying to create something else when it hit me – these look like a clover. With the little stem and all. So, there you have it. And, they really do look like little clovers, don’t you think?

Supplies. Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set. Basic Black Ink. Whisper White Card Stock. Paper Source Spruce Card Stock. 6×6 Hostess In-Color 10-11 DSP Paper Pack. Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch. Scallop Trim Border Punch. Note Cards.

Now, when I made this card, my base was the Note Cards. I love this ‘size’, it makes for cute, quick cards – and a nice envelope ready to go. I also popped up the 3rd ‘clover’ with a Dimensional. Doesn’t photograph well, but, in person it is really that added touch!

Leave me a comment for Good Luck –

Yes, very appropriate. You know, one of those cards I just created from my stash…..

Supplies. Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. Basic Black Ink. Whisper White card stock. Brushed Silver card stock. Silver Glimmer Paper. Night & Day Specialty DSP (retired). Word Window Punch. Modern Label Punch. Alphabet Simple Numbers Sizzix Dies (yes, thank you Christmas!). Silver Tinsel Trim (retired, but on the CLEARANCE RACK).

So, not too bad for my first post of 2012. New computer. Yeah! So, It’s a learning curve….

Today I have rummaged through the box of 3×3 swap cards to find just the Halloween ones! Found 3, so I’m going to post.

(Mmmm, hope there isn’t any more, I didn’t look any further…..)

Simple and to the point from Marci Snyder –

Love the use of the Scallop Square Duo here. Nice punchy bat!

This is a Wicked Cool one from Kathya Hidalgo –

Also, a nice use of the Scallop Square Duo (I just realized that) and the Postage Stamp Punch!

Ah, this is a cool fold from Becky Barnett –

I just had to show the inside too –

Very clever ladies!

Drum roll for todays picks for 3×3 Thursday.

And, they are……..

Jessica Upton. I love how this card is made. The sentiment, is visible at the bottom and the flower showing through the hole at the top are stamped on the inside of the card.

Martha from St. George Utah. Very sweet! I really like the color combination she chose.

And, no name, what a shame. Nice bright colors!

See ya next week!
