Wild About New DSP!!!!

Sorry I have been such a bad blogger this week. I have been keeping busy preparing for a funraiser at the Phoenix Children's Hospital.

I made this little 6x6 page this afternoon. I think I may demo this page at the Creating Keepsakes onvention in Phoenix in 2 weeks!!! That yummy striped DSP is from the brand new Washington Apple pack.

Mini Scallop Card

I don't feel well today. I am still in my pajamas and I have spent the entire day just laying around. But I did manage to stamp this little mini card. It is going to be one of the make-and-takes at my workshop tomorrow morning.

I used a tutorial by Andrea at Sunny Stampin' for this one. She used hers for a candy treat and I used mine more like a pocket card. It would also fit a gift card perfectly! And it is soooo easy to make. You just take a carousel note and score it at 1 1/2 on three of the four sides. You use scissors to cut off the 2 bottom corners and then fold it on the score lines. To get it to stay closed- wrap a belly band of DSP around it. My DSP is 1 x 7 and I adhered it with snail. I decorated it with Afternoon Tea DSP, the butterfly from the Essence of Love set and a few punches. It still needed a little something....so I used a glue dot to adhere a small flower and pearl from the Pretties kit. Done!

Today our high was in the 60's!!!! It was awesome. That's 50 degrees cooler than it was last weekend. Oh how I love to be able to open the windows and feel a cool breeze coming in!

BTW: I put all my sale-a-bration stamp sets up for sale in my ebay store. They are selling FAST so if you want any be sure to check it out ASAP. The link in on the left side of my blog. I will be mosting more retired stamps soon.

Cherry thank you

This is the card that we will be making at my workshop tomorrow. It is really easy because I have never stamped with these girls and I want them to feel good about the projects. My second make-and-take is a sour cream container with jelly beans. I hope they will like!

On this card, the cherries are actually directly on the card base. I glued the red scallop to the patterned paper (Spring Break) and then took a 1 3/8 hole punch to make the circle. The entire panel is up on demensionals. I know I have said this before- but this striped ribbon is awesome!

Don't forget to sign up for my blog candy below. I am going to have my sonm draw a name out of a hat on Monday night since I have entries on two different posts. That will make it fair!

Easter Treats!

I have been so inspired by all the cute little treat containers on Splitcoast and on various blogs. So I just wanted to show you a few that I have made in the past week or so. Sorry the pictures aren't too good. I am really not good at taking pictures of my projects : (

Ok- the little square treat basket was made using this week's tutorial on Splitcoast. It is so easy to make and takes very suplies. The basket is filled with pepermint patties! The DSP is from East Coast Prep. As soon as I saw it- it reminded me of Easter for some reason. I used Wild Wasabi ribbon for the handle and blue brads. The tag on the handle says "You Crack Me Up." I am making a dozen of these today to share with some friends at MOPS tomorrow.

The So Safron Circle treat container was made using on of the free tutorials on Andrea's blog: www.andreawalford.com You have to check out her blog as she has really cute tutorials!! I will be making more of her treat containers in the next week or so! This one was easier than it tlooks. You just trace a circle and then fold it into this container. Andrea gives step-by-step directions with all the measurements.

The yellow sour cream container was made using a tutorial that I found on Splitcoast. This is soooo easy. I am going to use it for a make-and-take at a workshop this weekend! The container is filled with jelly beans! The yoyo yellow was stamped with the flowers from A Good Egg and then I used a white gel pen for the centers.

The pink hanging treat container was made using last week's tutorial on splitcoast. Another super easy one! I used the balloons from Birthday Whimsy for the eggs and added some dazzling diamonds. The DSP is from the Berry Bliss paper pack.

January Workshops

These are the projects that we made for my January workshops. Everyone loved them! I used the Happy Heart Day stamp set for both. The card is Soft Sky, Wild Wasaibi, Real Red and Whisper White. I stamped the elephant 2 times- once on the white and again on Soft Sky designer series paper. Then I cut out the soft sky one and pieced it on to my white. I colored the hearts with a real red marker and I used a blender pen with Wild Wasaibi ink for the grass. The candy bag is just the Happy Heart Day stamp set with tag punches and some markers. Very easy and would be a fun treat for kid's friends!
