Sweet Spring Card

Hello Everyone! I've been spending some time on the Stampin' Up! website watching videos, and decided to try this technique! Emboss a window sheet (I recycled, and used the clear packaging from another product) through the sizzix, then use your sanding block to sand down the top, "embossed" layer. I don't think I got such a pronounced result, as the thickness of clear sheet was likely different, however, I still thought the technique was cool!

Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise mentioned)
Green Galore Classic Ink, Gable Green Classic Ink, Pretty in Pink Classic Ink and CS, Pixie Pink Classic Ink and CS, Whisper White CS, Botanical Blooms Stamp Set, Clear Sheet (recycled), Brads from an office supply store.

SPCC 42, OCCC, Sketchy Thursdays

Morning all! We get Easter Monday off where I live, so with Big C off at a sleepover, and L'il C content to play in the backyard, I had a chance to create this card, for 3 challenges. The SPCC challenge this week is Whisper White, Basic Black and Elegant Eggplant. The OCCC Challenge this week is to use buttons on your creations. And the Sketch comes from Sketchy Thursdays Second Chance Challenge. Hope you all enjoy my creation!

Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise mentioned)
Rockabilly Specialty DSP, Fresh Cuts Stamp Set, Whisper White CS, Basic Black CS and Classic Ink, Elegant Eggplant CS and Classic Ink, Buttons from my stash, Cut outs from my Slice.

Easter Baskets

Hi Peeps! This is a really quick post showing off the Easter Baskets I made using Keesh's tutorial . I whipped up 8 of these in an hour and 15 min, granted they aren't the most detailed of creations, but I was anxious to get them all done for my Nieces and Nephews and God Children. I'm also not posting an ingredient list as I used (2 year old???) retired In Colors, and DSP from my daughters Dollar Store pile. If you are looking for a quick, clearly written basket tutorial, I highly recommend this one. I can see it being used for any occasion!

ps- the "boy" basket is overstuffed with tissue paper, but is hiding 3 Cadbury Easter Creme Eggs inside, and the "girl" basket is holding 4 baby washcloths folded in half.

Grade 5 Mother's Day Project

Also, as a note, I've made the executive decision that the frame on the left is the one we will be using...someone (namely me!) will get lacerated trying to put the frame on the right assembled!
