Upcoming make & take projects

 Hello stamping friends!  Welcome to my 200th post!!!
These are what we will be making this weekend at my make & take.  Above, we have a punched bunny for Easter and a magnetic clip using the NEW triple flower punch !  That will make a great gift for someone!

I got the idea for the Mother's Day card from the cover of the new Summer mini and changed it up a bit.  The other card is watercolored and distressed.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy this beautiful day outside!!!

Easter projects

Hello stamping friends!  At the girl's weekend, Elaine and I worked on these projects to sell at our local Curves where we work out.   Basket of cupcake bunnies and chicks!  I saw this cute idea on Stamper's Connection (Stampin' Up website) and just had to try them out!

 These cuties have a Hershey kiss in them.  I used the Petal Punch to make the box.  You need 4 punched pieces.

 Carrots with Pixi Stix!  This uses the the Petal Cone die.

We boxed up the cute boxes in another box--making them perfect for Easter baskets!
Thanks for stopping by!  Come back soon for some cards that we made last time at the make & take!

Easter Bunny Basket

 Hello Stamping friends!  Is this little bunny too cute or what?  The basket is made with the  petal cone die, with the bottom cut off.  I made the body of the bunny with the oval scallop frame die and punches for the rest of him.  I love how his (or hers) arms are holding the basket!  It's holding some decorated chocolates in the basket.

 And here's the tail!  Of course, I added some glitter on it :-).

And me doing the demo at Regionals.

Flower die cut on Easter Bonnet

These fabric flower die cuts are so fun!  And there's so many things you can do with them--isn't this a sweet Easter bonnet?  I just added SU large gros grain ribbon and die cut flowers with batting and a pink brad.  Now if I only had a little girl to give it to!  Don't think my 23 year old would go for it!!!  I think I may try to sell it in an upcoming craft fair.....

Don't Ya Love Holidays?

I do! And one reason is that you can be even MORE creative with making cute things!

These can hold a little cello bag of jelly beans.....

First, I did these 2 at the bottom, then decided to use the same idea with the Scallop Box die cut from SU (oh the possibilities!)

I made these with some 10-12 year olds at a little Kid's Kraft afternoon, and then again with a mom and her 10 year old daughter.

Adults like to make these as much as the kids!

Uses a couple of oval punches, scallop punch and--hey--just be creative!

Email me if you'd like some of these pre-punched and ready to assemble with all the pieces-(except candy)

Scallop box-Good Egg

OOOH! Sorry this is a fuzzy pic, but hopefully you can get the idea! I used
the Big Shot and the Scallop box die cut. Punched a large oval and there are candies
inside. The top is the Good Egg chick watercolored with So Saffron and added
glitter to the egg. It's layered on 1 /34 circle and scsallop punch. Velcro for
closing works best. Thanks Dina www.inkinwithdink.typepad.com for the
inspiration!

Why wasn't I into this when my daughter was in grade school and I was Room Mother?
The THINGS I could've made for her classes!!!! Altho, I did make this kind of thing for her Sorority sisters a couple of years ago and they really enjoyed getting homemade candy gifts!

Next post has something even COOLER that I made up! Check it out in a day!

Hershey Bar Bunnies

These are just too cute! I cased the idea from my downline' s

blog http://www.inkinwithdink.typepad.com/ and changed

just a little bit. Dina has a great blog--you should check it out!

The bunny is punched using the 1 3/8 circle, large and medium ovals, 3/4"

circle and small rectangle (teeth). The designer paper measures 6x5" and you

punch out the inside of the ear with the leftover 1" from using a 6x6 piece.

I think these would make great favors or Easter basket treats!

We will be making these at my next make and take on the weekend

of the 20th..

TicTac holder

We made this cute TicTac holder

at the last month Make & Take

class. It's perfect for keeping in

your purse and makes a great gift!

I used the new Parisian Breeze

Specialty designer paper from SU--

I LOVE the new textures!

It's the perfect cardstock to make boxes, also.

Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of cs 2 1/2 x 8 1/2.

2. Score at 2, 2 1/4, 5 1/4, 5 3/4

3. Punch oval on top of the longer scored area

Your TicTac with go thru this oval

4. Make your embellishment ( used the SAB Polka Dot Punches set,

Scallop punch with Baja Breeze stamped with Choc. Chip ink, CC cs

punched with 1 1/4 circle punch and stamped Baja Breeze on white and

punched with 1" circle punch. Clear Rhinstone brad in the middle.

5. IMPORTANT-fold your holder together, insert mints and then put a

dimensional on the lower half of the scallop. This way the fold over top

will keep closed under the scallop.
