Everything Easter Treat boxes

     This is one of the boxes you will be making in the Everything Easter class.  Does this box look a little smaller than the box you can order from the catalog?

 

 

 Well, this box is smaller. I recently watched a StampinUp video where someone demonstrated how to re size the large boxes you can order.  I will be showing everyone how to make the smaller box from the larger one.

   The second treat box will hold a Cadbury egg and will be perfect for that special chocolate lover in your life.

        The side view shows the little egg holder that is attached inside the container.  I know I would love to get one of these how about you?  Check out class times and RSVP on my website events page.

1. Look at the items offered and decide which ones you want to make.  Like them all, then the class is $10 for 1 of each of the 6 items.

2. Let me know your choices.  Example 3 chick cards= $6, 4 cross = $8 one treat box= $1  for a total of $15. 

3. I will have all your supplies ready for you to make the cards and treat containers of your choice. 

Check back tomorrow for a closeup of each project.

Jubilant Butterlies March make n take

     Can you see the items on this card that are from the Occasions catalog?

1. The tiny flower is from the Petite Petals stamp set with matching punch.  I love how it is used as a closure for the card.

2. The tulips are from the Blessed Easter single stamp and actually pop up from the top of the card.

3.  The Decorative Dots embossing folder was used to create texture on the white cardstock.  You can order this as your free item from the Sale a Bration brochure.  This once a year event is over March 31st so its not too late to place an order for you free item.

     My friend Julie Davison designed this card.  Here is a video she made showing how to make it. Maybe making this card will make spring come roaring.

April Framed art

     When thinking about a possible framed picture for April of course the saying April showers bring May flowers came to my mind.  I like to think about what I am going to make for a while before I actually create the piece.  I had an image in my head and was thrilled when it actually looked like I imagined it would. 

1. I made a stencil for the clouds and sponged 3 different colors of ink around the cloud as I moved it all over the background paper.

2.  The thought bubble from the Word Bubbles framelit set made perfect clouds which I embossed with the Decorative Dots embossing folder that is one of the free items from the Sale a Bration brochure.

3. I found an umbrella in My Digital Studio and changed up the size to make 3 different sized umbrellas.  I made sure I had two of each size on my paper I printed at home.

4.  Using one umbrella of each size, I cut apart the sections of umbrella, attached it to my favorite designer paper, cut it out and glued it to the second umbrella.

5. Finally I punched out raindrops using the mini ornament stamp, rounded off the tops, and added a rhinestone to each drop.  I then colored the rhinestone with a blue marker to complete the look.

   Now, I am imagining what I would like the May framed art to look like........Hmm flowers maybe.
