Bunny Gift card holders

I wish I could say this was my design because they are so cute. But the truth is they we designed by Chat Wszelaki over at www.memystampsandi.blogspot.com. I plan to put in the target gift cards I bought for the grandkids to put in their Easter baskets. I think they will work perfectly. I used the ornament punch for the boys and the scalloped circle for the girl. The base if the petal die for the Big Shot.

Fancy Flower mojo

Here is the card I made for the demonstrator's shoe box swap for Sunday. I used the Monday Mojo sketch for this card. I love they way they were using lots of different dsp. I made the flower by rolling the Very Vintage wheel and rose red ink onto some vellum paper. (I didn't have any tissue paper handy) I punched out 5 of the XL Fancy Flowers (punch) and stacked them and secured the center with a brad and Sweet Pea felt flower (just the circle). Lastly I scrunched up each flower to give it dimension. I also rolled the vintage wheel onto the rose red card behind the dsp. The dsp is from the Sweet Pea designer paper pad.

Birdhouse card

This card was inspired by the birdhouse that Cindy B. at stampspaperandink made. She used the new Sweet Pea paper which I have not ordered yet. So I made my birdhouse and card using the Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper. The flowers on the birdhouse are just some primas I had on hand. I am saving my sweet pea felt flowers for a different project. The flowers on the card are from Vintage Vogue. I made a little "belly band" to help keep the card closed.

Two-step Bird Punch

I am really loving this new punch. It's called the extra large two-step bird punch and you will find it in the new SU Occasions mini catalog available starting January 5th. It not only punches out the bird, but also a wing and leafy branch. This card is for an Anniversary themed swap. It could easily be a valentine or wedding card. The paper is from the Bride and Groom specialty paper and real red cardstock. I also used the top note die, white 5/8" satin ribbon and the small heart punch. The words are from Three Little Words.

Bunny Basket

Last Saturday, the SASSSC group met. This stands for Simple and Serious Stampers Swap Club. We meet once a month and swap cards according to a predetermined theme. Someone is responsible for a make and take. This month, Annie showed us how to make cute baskets from a 9 x 9 square of designer paper. I decided this would be a great project for the stamp club to make at the March meeting. I had several pieces of leftover Raspberry Tart, the pieces I didn't like for card marking. But I didn't have enough for 20 baskets, so I decided to make them smaller. I actually like the smaller size better as a party favor or Easter treat. I cut the designer paper 6 x 6. That way I could get four out of each sheet. I also cut 1 x 12" strips and then cut them in half to measure 1 x 6" for the handles. I used my score pal to score at 2" and 4" and then rotated the square and scored at 2 and 4" again. Then I made the punched bunny from yesterday's post to decorate the side. I used the boho blossom punch and punched out three of the largest blossom. I left the bottom one whole and cut the other two between every two petals. I layered them and attached it to the back side of the basket with a vanilla brad to make a bunny tail.

Here is a photo of the punched pieces I used to make the bunny.

Scalloped circle, large and small oval, 1/2" circle punch, 5 petal flower punches used. The nose is just the tip of one flower petal. I used whisper white, pnk pirouette, and black cardstock.

Sour Cream Bunny

Hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather today in Houston was pretty near perfect. We dont get enough days like today here. It is ususally hot and humid most sunny days. But today was what I like to call California weather. I spent most of the afternoon finishing the set of onesies for my DIL that I posted earlier. Her shower is next Sunday. I made two sets of six cards and put them in a clear box from Papertrey Ink. I tied the two boxes together with organza ribbon and add a tags to match the ones on the cards.

Then once I finished them, I started thinking about the projects for March: stamp club, my MIL workshop, scrapbooking, and card class. Last October, I made these sour cream containers for club and everyone loved making them. I saw some that looked like bats and pumpkins. That gave me the idea to decorate one with a bunny. It is made from punches and finished off with hand drawing.

3 D pumpkin

This is a pumpkin that one of the members of my demonstartors group made and shared with us at our last meeting. It is made using the tab punch.
