Easter Take Out Box

Remember the gift idea I made from the Petal Cone die for the Big Shot. CLICK HERE! I first saw this little box on my 2nd upline Heather Summers blog and I had to try it.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set: Easter Blossoms 121905W & 122057C
Card Stock: Rose Red -2 3/4 x 2 & Petal Cone die cut; Baja Breeze -2 3/4 x 2 & Petal Cone die cut; Very Vanilla -label

Have a wonderful day!!

Altered Book

I love how you can take a simple notebook and turn it into something beautiful.

I took this type of book and made this project:

I just love how this turned out.

Close up of the butterflies and button. I also stamped the A to Z stamp on the Rose Red card stock and stamped Details over top.

I stamped the pages as well using the butterfly from the stamp set Thanks for Caring

Tool Tip: After cutting an image with the big shot, alter the image by cutting part of it off. I did this with the Early Espresso Top Note by cutting 1/4" of it off and adhering it to my cover. This gives the top note a different look!!

I hope you have a great day!!

Explosion Box

I love making 3-D items and especially love making them for others. I was asked to make this box for a friend who has a friend that had a baby girl. So grab a coffee and have a seat to stay a while. It's a long post today!!

This is the outside of the box, nice and simply! On the front of the box base I have Love DSP (retired) on all 4 panels. On the box side flaps I tied Victoria Crochet Trim and Pretty in Pink 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon together.

For the top of the lid, I used the Welcome Baby from the Punch Bunch Sale-a-bration set. I stamped the stamp first in So Saffron ink and then smacked it on Rose Red ink to give it a fun look. I punched it out using the Large Tag punch in Whisper White card stock. I punched out Close to Cocoa (retired) card stock with the Extra-Large Tag punch. Popped them up on dimensionals. I added some more Victoria Crochet Trim and 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon in Pretty in Pink with a Chocolate Chip 5/8" Brad. I placed all this on Pretty in Pink card stock and then on Perfect Plum card stock. I also used my Cutter Kit on both layered card stock to give it that distressed look.

Here is the view of the inside of the explosion box. I stamped Congrats from the Level 1 Hostess set Silhouette Sentiments on the Whisper White card stock and allowed room for some writing.

The inside of the explosion box has 3 layers of flaps. Bottom layer is Close to Cocoa (retired), middle layer is Perfect Plum and top layer is Pretty in Pink. I used my 3/16" Corner Small Rounder on the corners of all flaps. All edging is distressed using the Cutter Kit.

I used the little bear from the stamp set Bear Hugs, stamped it in Chocolate Chip on the Pretty in Pink flap then re-stamped this image on DSP and cut out the booties, diaper and bib and glued them on the bear using the Anywhere Glue Stick. Then I stamped the flowers from the Bear Hugs stamp set randomly on the Pretty in Pink card stock using Rose Red classic ink.

This flap I used the larger photo corner of the Photo Corners Extra-Large punch for each corner with the Love DSP (retired). I added a bow using the Victoria Crochet Trim and 3 tags from the Jewelry Tags Medium punch and attached to the ribbon with a silver brad.

I drew lines for stems then added this cute buttons from the Sale-a-bration catalogue using Glue Dots. I then added a strip of Perfect Plun card stock crimped by using the Crimper. And added a paper clip.

I rounded 2 corners of a piece of Love DSP and sponged the edges with Rose Red then added it to the Pretty in Pink card stock. I punched out 2 butterflies using the Butterfly Extra-Large punch then stamped both with a stamp from the Sweet Summer Sale-a-bration stamp set.

I stamped the elephants from the stamp set Baby Steps in Basic Gray and Regal Rose classic ink and cut them out and adhered them with dimensionals to give them some pop. I stamped the flower from the Bear Hugs stamp set to give the background look.

I used 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4" circle punches and punched out several circles and adhered them to the Close to Cocoa card stock.

Added buttons from the Springtime Vintage and Sweet Stitches Designer Big Buttons from the Occasions Mini Catalogue. I added Hemp Twine to the smaller buttons. I adhered these using the Glue Dots.

Added 3 Clear Rhinestone Brads, 3/8" Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon and Hemp Twine to the Love DSP and adhered it to the Perfect Plum card stock. I stamped the duck from the Every Little Bit stamp set in So Saffron on Whisper White card stock and punched it out using the 1" Circle punch then sponged edge with Chocolate Chip ink. Adhered with dimensionals.

Punched the Spiral Border punch on the Perfect Plum card stock. Stamped the monkey, giraffe, and lion from the Fox & Friends stamp set in Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, and So Saffron classic ink. Punched them out using the 1 1/4" circle punch and adhered them with dimensionals. I added a Build-a-brad to the giraffe before adhering it.

I saw a cute baby carriage on someone blog and partially cased it. I used the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch, I cut out 3 scallops to create an opening. I punched out the trim using the scallop border punch in Close to Cocoa card stock and trimmed accordingly. I added a bow using Hemp Twine. Wheels are made from Close to Cocoa punched out with the 3/4" circle punch and added Clear Rhinestone Brads and adhered them with dimensionals. The handle is made from the left over scallop.

Sorry for the blurry picture on this one -I added a strip of Love DSP and punched a border on both ends using the Eyelet Border punch. I stamped the baby sleeper from the stamp set A Slice of Life Level 1 Hostess set from the Occasions Mini Catalogue on the Love DSP and cut it out. I coloured some features on the sleeper in Rose Red. I popped it up with a dimensional.



I saw a baby wrapped in a blanket on some one's blog and created something similar. I punched out a 2" x 1 3/8" oval in Pretty in Pink and cut some off the bottom. I punched out 2 small leaves from the Blossom Petals Punch in Pretty in Pink. I sponged both leaves and oval in Regal Rose and a bit of Rose Red. I added some White Gel pen to both the leaves and oval. I punch out a 3/4" circle in Blush Blossom (retired) added a bit of sponging in Crumb Cake. I added some Rose Red for cheeks and some dots in the White Gel pen and the black marker for eyes. I adhered this on the oval. I added a button from the Sale-a-bration button & ribbon pack.

Chocolate...

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Wow, it has been a crazy few weeks around here. I had this nasty cold that just exhausted me. Even after the cold was over which was Wednesday, I still needed naps and lots of sleep. I was still able to get some work done since today is Valentine's Day!!! And what better then chocolate on Valentine's Day. Now, my husband and I don't really celebrate this day other then a date. He doesn't buy me anything which I like. I don't like flowers since they die in a week or two, so I consider them a waste of money. I don't want jewelry or anything else. I do make him a card however. But this card is not the one I'm giving him.

This card is the card I made for the shoebox swap we did at my 2nd upline's meeting on Thursday night. It was a lot of fun. I got the bite mark idea from another demonstrator. Isn't it great?! What I love the most about this card is how I gathered the ribbon under the jumbo brad. Love it!!!

So here it is...
