Easter Basket

Happy Friday!  Today is Bloggers' Challenge and the theme is "think Spring!".  I decided to share the basket we made at the library last weekend.  The directions can be found here.

My basket is Certainly Celery.  The band around it is made with Tea Party DSP and Certainly Celery 5/8" Grosgrain.  On the front, I used So Saffron card stock for the base under my flower.  The flower is Tea Party DSP punched with the XL Fancy Flower Punch from the Occasions Mini.  I also used the Big Shot and Little Leaves Sizzlit and Beautiful Wings Embosslit.  The center of the flower is Pretty in Pink Trio Fower Punch.  The handle is secured with two Gold Brads.

The ladies at the library did a great job and were quite happy with the project.  Of course, that makes me happy too!

Thanks for the visit!

Easter Egg Card--Stamp Camp Card

Here's another card that we will make at Stamp Camp.  Actually the girls will get to make two of these because they are smaller cards.  I got this great idea from Jackie Topa.

Isn't that a great idea?  Jackie is a very talented stamper!  I used Razzleberry Lemonade DSP to create the egg.  To get the shape, I used the Big Shot and the Oval Scallop Frame Bigz Die.  My finishing touch is a flower made with the Boho Blossoms Punch and a Fire Circle Rhinestone Brad.

XL Two Step Bird Punch Tulips--Stamp Camp Card

As I'm writing this post, I realize today is March 17, St. Patrick's Day.  I should have an Irish card to show, but I don't.  Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you!  But I do have another Stamp Camp card that has no stamping!  My card features the XL Two Step Bird Punch.

I wish I could take credit for making tulips from the bird's wing, but I've seen many cards using this idea.  Originally I was going to stamp "wonderful Mother" from Well Scripted on the front, but then decided I like the simple prettiness of the card as is.

My tulips are made with the XL Two Step Bird Punch in Summer Sun and Old Olive.  The Whisper White panel was run through the Big Shot with the Texture Plates #4 (the squares).  I think you can see them.  My card is finished with the Old Olive Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.

I hope you get to enjoy some yummy corned beef and all the fixin's.

Fox and Friends Stamp Camp Card

Sorry for the late post, but at least I'm posting!  Here's another March Stamp Camp card using Fox and Friends.  I love this little monkey!

Nothing like just hanging around!  I'll share my little trick with the monkeys and the twigs (from the Two Step XL Bird Punch).  I didn't want to have to cut out the entire monkey because he's kind of tiny.  So, I stamped him twice and then stamped his tail on scrap.  I cut out just the tail part to work with the twig.  Use Two Way Glue to adhere it and you can't even tell!  I was pretty proud of myself for that one!

The DSP is from Sweet Pea DSP, which is in the Occasions Mini. I think this dotted pattern works perfectly with the monkeys.

Come back tomorrow.  I have another Stamp Camp card to share.

Thanks for the visit!

Mother's Day Butterflies

Hello!  Did you miss me?  I feel like I'm repeating myself a lot lately, but life has been busier than usual for me so stamping has taken a back seat for a bit.  But, I do have a card for Bloggers' Challenge (use greens and neutrals) and the Critters Sketch Challenge.  The sketch uses 4 squares, but I tweaked it a bit and used 4 of the Beautiful Wings Embosslit butterflies.

For the greens I chose two of my favorites:  Certainly Celery and Old Olive.  I embossed the white panel with my Big Shot and Texture Plates #1.  The sentiment is from All Holidays.  I also lightly sponged the edges of my butterflies and added a Horizontal Slot Punch body.

Thanks for hanging in there with me!  I appreciate you visiting even when I don't post!  I'll get there--I promise!

Thoughts and Prayers

I'm still here--just a busy, busy week!  I'm late in getting a birthday card out to my niece.  This is her card.  It uses the sketch on CPS.  I tweeked it a bit--my knot in the ribbon is the circle and I switched the placement of the two vertical strips.  I think it still qualifies.

Here's what I used for the card:

Stamp Sets:  Thoughts and Prayers, Sincere Salutations

Inks:  Real Red, Real Red and Certainly Celery Stampin' Write Markers

Card Stock:  Real Red, Certainly Celery, Whisper White

Accessories:  Scallop Trim Border (yours FREE with $50 order), 5/8" Certainly Celery Grosgrain

Don't forget there's only a few days left of SUPER FEBRUARY!  Don't miss out on the chance to earn a FREE Gift Certificate for Stampin' Products!
