Crate fun

Melissa gave me one of these cute Easter treats last year. 

She saw the idea on fellow stamper, Marissa Alvarez's blog, www.kitchentablestamper.com  

It is fun how we get ideas from a fellow stamper and it gets passed along. 

Thank you Marissa and Melissa for all your inspiration. 

Easter Wishes

This cute bunny washi tape is perfect for covering nuggets and making a fun treat.

I put them in a small cello with some green shreds. I added a simple tag and tied it up with some springy twine. 

Easter's on it's way...

Melissa Roell was a huge inspiration in making these. 

She created this adorable design on her own from a package of  Lindt chocolate carrots. 

 I totally stole the idea to make some fun Easter treats. 

You remove two of the carrots from the middle of the box and then add a cute bunny die cut treat with a Hershey nugget. (bunny die is from amuse studio)

 Add a border of grass, some springy cardstock with sentiment and oh my what a cute treat you have! Thank you Melissa for all your inspiration!

I used the carrots I removed from the box to make individual treats for you to give to a friend.

Lovely lady...bugs

This is a cute and fun spring treat.

I found the lady bug candy at TJ Maxx...they always have such fun candy for every holiday.

I started out with my spellbinder flower die cuts and leaves.

I inked up the edges and then curled them.

I pop dotted them to give some dimension.

I then added the tiny pearls for the center of the flower and added the leaves.

I put two lady bugs on each flower. I added some green shreds in a small cello bag and tied it up with some red and white twine. Love how these turned out. 

Kiss me

More nugget fun...these cute nugget treats are covered with St Patrick's day washi tape from amuse studio. I love the words from Taylored Expressions and the tiny lips are from Penny Black.

Hello

This was my favorite card we made at Sylvia's last week.

We used the barn door stamp set and coordinating die set. 

How fun is this?!

It took some thought and instruction from Sylvia...she is a very good teacher....but we all managed to come away with a beautiful and fun card!

The door slides to reveal both messages. I just love it!

Heartfelt Thoughts

It seems I have needed quite a few sympathy cards lately. 

This beauty we made at Sylvia's card class. The best part about this stamp set is that it is free if you place a $50 order from Stampin Up during the Sale-A-Bration promo.

Look how lovely the inside is! 

Stamp off and then stamp your sentiment.

So easy yet so beautiful!

I made this Xavier sampler for a special lady. 

She is a HUGE Xavier fan and has never been to a game. 

We are taking her to watch the Muskies play in a few weeks...it's going to be so FUN!

Looking good #1 Fan!

Hello there....

My favorite animal at the zoo is the giraffe...so when 

we made this card at Sylvia's...it made me smile!

Is he just so darn cute or what?!!

The stamp is from Unity.

Happy birthday!

This card was so easy and fun to make. Sylvia had us use some new blending markers from Stampin Up. They were very nice markers...and easy to use.

I love the bright sequins and the best part of those are that they are self adhesive!! 

I just love this card! It is so bright and cheerful!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I received 3 lovely Valentines in the mail this week. 

Thanks to my lovely friends for thinking of me.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Card Class Fun!

We made some very cute treats at Sylvia's card class on Monday.

This little wizard will make your day magical for sure. 

The box is so easy to make using the die from Stampin Up.

Inside the box is this cute card and envelope. 

You can put just about anything inside the card and make it even more special.

Another treat we made was this darling hand sanitizer holder. So appropriate for the flu season we are having. A little bit of chocolate inside helps to make anyone feel better.

Thanks Sylvia for sharing all your wonderful ideas. You rock!

Visit in the next few days to see the fun cards we made.

St. Patricks Day Sampler

Our Sampler for today!

One of my favorites by far!

Getting ready to make our St. Patrick's Day Sampler.

A little Valentine treat for the stampers.

The ladies hard at work! 

The two Irish gals on the right really loved making this sampler.

We missed Shari and Regina today. 

We had a special guest at the end of the table.
Thank you Mrs. "C" for coming to hang out with us.

Job well done ladies! 

Prayers

Needed several Sympathy cards this week. 

I made this one from some stamps I had in my stash. Not sure what company.

The flowers were stamped two-toned.

70!

A friend of mine's husband is turning 70 this month! I thought I would make a simple card using some dotted numbers I had in my stash. I popped the numbers up to give some more dimension. Even though the card is pretty simple, I like how it makes a statement!

Happy 70th! 

Congratulations!

So many babies being born this year...need to start working on my card stash.

This is one of my favorite embossing folders. It is so simple but makes a very cute card. 

I added the curved sentiment from Stampin Up.
