Punch Art Bunny

I saw this on Pinterest and he looked to cute. It is made with punches and framelits from Stampin' Up!


I believe the original post had a petite purse attached to the back of the bunny. I do not have the die for that so I made a box that would fit behind him.

The box is big enough to hold several Hershey Kisses or other treats.

Have a great day!

Stay Closed Treat Box

Isn't this the neatest box!?! You can fill it with treats and the box remains closed until you squeeze the sides.



I made some of these for friends we are going to see over the Easter weekend. 

If you would like to make this box, go here.

Basket

Oh my, I cannot find my notes to share with you on who originally shared this basket on YouTube! :( 

It is a very simple basket to make and holds quite a bit of candy.


Hope you have a great day!

Box and Card Combo


Isn't this the neatest idea?!? This box when opened holds a card. No more trying to keep the card with the box. The card fits inside this flap on the underside of the lid.

Zippered Pouch

I made this zippered pouch for my daughter. 



The fabric was 9" X 12". I doubled the fabric to give it strength and to give the inside a lining. The zipper was 9". I watched a YouTube video by Whitney and followed her instructions to make this.

Have a great day!

Gummi Candy

This is the easiest treat to make! You can find the original post at Skip to My Lou.



I used Orange Crush jello and Jolly Rancher Blue Raspberry jello.

Hope you have a great day!

Bubblegum Bookmark

This bookmark came about for several reasons. First, I wanted to use the dyslexie font that was created for those with dyslexia. Secondly, I wanted something to use the cute gumball machine I made! :)



I made a dozen or so of these for Ana to hand out to her friends for Valentine's Day - along with a small bag of gumballs. She is getting a little too big to hand out valentines, but I thought this might still satisfy the "want to" even though she tells me she is getting to big to hand things out.

Hope you have a great day!

Little Easter Treat Boxes

I made these after watching Conni Stewart's tutorial on YouTube. These are so easy and fun to make!



These three boxes were made after making some changes to the inside - used a different punch.







Corner Bookmark

I follow Dawn at DawnsStampingThoughts.net on YouTube and when she shared her corner bookmark, I fell in love with it.



I made two of them. The one on the right was made as I followed her video. The one of the left was made after I tweeked her instructions a little. I also used chalk on all the pieces so the fox would "pop" just a little.

Hope you have a great day!

Eat Cake

It's that time of month again when I have to sit down and make birthday cards for friends and family who have birthdays coming up in the next couple of months.

I purchased Stampin' Up!'s One Tag Fits All stamp set to go along with the tag punch I already have. The stamp set has been sitting on my desk so I thought I would see what I could come up with using this set.





This is what I created.  The stripe down the center of the card is actually more of a teal color to match the DSP paper - not quite sure why it came out blue. :/

Hope you have a great day!

Berry Basket

Stampin' Up has come out with a Berry Basket die, but I haven't decided if it is something that I must have.

Elaine shared this on her blog and I just had to try my hand at making one. These are oh, so easy to make and are a nice size for a teacher gift or a gift on a short notice.



Hope you have a great day!

Play Stove

My granddaughter likes to pretend she is making soup so I recently purchased her a set of cooking items from Pottery Barn Kids. It had a pot, a lid, lettuce, cucumber, carrot, spoon, and oven mitt.

I just happened to be on Skype with her when the box arrived with all the goodies in it. She was so happy! 

While surfing through Pinterest, I found a stove made from fabric. I clicked the Pin and it took me to an Etsy shop. After seeing the shop was was overseas and the price, I decided to try my hand at making the stove myself.  My version of the stove does not have a "working" oven door, but I do not think my granddaughter will mind.

This is Ana, my daughter, posing with the stove before I boxed it up.


Have a great day!
