An Egg-cellent Easter




The pencil bundles are for my son's Kinder- garten class- mates. He's thrilled every time he gets a new pencil, so I'm sure the others will like these. I put Dazzling Diamonds glitter onto of the eggs to add a little sparkle. I was glad I got to use more designer paper scraps for this project. This was made with the NEW stamp set, An Egg-cellent Easter, from the Occasions catalog...too cute!

Easter Candy


My kids' grandmas are getting these See's Candy Boxes for Easter...I'm jealous! haha I used my NEW An Egg-cellent Easter stamp set, from the Occasions Mini Catalog for this, along with the new Scallop Oval Punch. I put some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter onto the eggs for a little shimmer, and a rhinestone brad is attached to the ribbon and tag.

Easter Baskets


These are baskets for my nieces and nephews. I used what I had left of retired Designer Paper Packs that I earned as part of my Hostess Benefits. They are already 6"x6" so I didn't have to cut any paper. I used ribbon instead of paper, since 6" would have been too short of a handle. The ribbon has remained standing, so it was a success! I filled them with candy, except for the babies...you can see one got a shirt and the other is getting size 2 flip flops.

Celebrate You


Here's a quick card I made for my father--in-law. I used Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Whisper White cardstock. And yes...I used the Texturz plates again!

Stair Step Party!


I just love the stair step cards...so I made another one! I modeled it after my Valentine Stair Step card (Click Here to view) only I used the Party Hearty stamp set instead. Colors are: Bashful Blue, Real Red, Barely Banana and Whisper White. Using the punches makes this a very easy card.

Fabulous Friend



Here's another card, using the NEW Oval All stamp set and coordinating Scallop Oval Punch. I also used the "A Perfect Day" Rub-ons and Die Cut Blooms. It may be hard to see, (unless you click on photo to enlarge) but the Bashful Blue cardstock was embossed with the Big Shot and Texturz plates...love those...too darn easy and cute!

Father's Day Card

Here's another card for my upcoming Stamp-A-Stack class. For the greeting, I used the All Holidays set and stamped it twice; once in Old Olive and once in Night of Navy. Then, I cut out the "Father's" part and popped it up with dimensionals onto the Night of Navy image to get 2 colors and some depth. I also used the Sporting stamp set.
