Birthday cupcake card

Here is a fun Birthday card. I really enjoyed making this one.


I stamped the cupcake from the Simple Birthday Thanks stamp on three times, on Real Red card stock for the cherry section, onto a piece of Whisper White card stock that has been swirled using a shaving cream technique and a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock for the base.

I cut out each section right on the line. Run the base of your cupcake through your Paper Crimper, wrap a piece of Pretty in Pink Tafetta ribbon around the base and tie into a pretty knot.
The frosting area needed something so I first added on 1/4" Chocolate Chip circles onto desired areas then applied Two Way Glue and Dazzling Diamond to each.

Using Stampin' Dimensionals I pieced the cupcake back together onto the base of my card. This makes the cupcake pop off the card.
 
SHAVING CREAM

·      Fill your container with shaving cream and use your wooden stick to smooth it out a bit.

·      Add several drops of each of your re-inker colors to your shaving cream.

·      Mix Shaving Cream and re-inker in a swirling motion continue to mix until you like the design you like

·      Press cardstock into shaving cream. Make sure to the card front is completely coated.

Take paper towel and wipe away shaving cream in swirling motion, let dry and complete card.

Here is another great example of how to use the Shaving Cream technique. It really makes beautiful Easter Eggs.(This card features the In Colors from last year and A Good Egg stamp set.)

Chocolate Bunny Treat Bag

Looking for a cute and simple treat for co workers.

How about the little Chocolate Bunny, page 43 of the Occasion Mini Catalog. He is so realistic looking.


I stamped him in Chocolate Chip Craft ink on  Close to Cocoa Card stock then I used Clear Embossing Powder. This really added to the dimension. Finished it off by cutting out this adorable bunny. A little Easter grass in a Medium Flat Cellophane Bag (page 158 of the Idea Book & Catalog) with a serving of jelly beans.

Finishing the bag off by tying some Pretty in Pink Tafetta Ribbon around the top with a little tag. The words from Eight Great Greetings stamp set stamped out then punched with the Medium Jewlery Tag punch, found on page 10 of the Occasion Mini Catalog.

This little chick

This little chick is such a sweet card to attach to an Easter gift.

He wasn't hatched from an egg.

He came from my Big Shot!

Owning a Big Shot is great. You never know what great craft will come next.

To make him you will need the Scallop Circle #2 Die along with the Snowflake Punch, 5 Petal Flower Punch, 1/2" circle Punch and the 1/4 Circle Punch.

Punch Art Easter Bunny Card

I just love how this card turned out.
I added texture to the base of my card using my Handy Dandy Big Shot and the Stampin' Up! Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder.
Thats a lots of words for a simple folder that adds dots to my card stock.

I just love my Big Shot. I also used it to cut the Top Note out to create this Certainly Celery on Whisper White Frame.

If you don't have a Big Shot yet, Contact me at ginadygert@yahoo.com and  I can show you can get it at a discount or for FREE!

Bunny Box

Here is a cute little triangle treat box. It is suppose to be a bunny but it kind of looks more like a mouse.
What do you think?

Either way I think it is adorable. Simple to make. The base is a 3" x 8" piece of Kraft card stock. Score it at the 4" line and from the 4" line up to the middle point creating a triangle. It will then fold making a triangle box.
I sponged around the edges with Creamy Caramel Classic Ink to warm up the box. Used punches to create all the other shape except the carrot is free handed. 
His cheeks are created by a Sponge Dauber and Pretty in Pink Classic Ink.
Make the closure by using the Crop-o-dile; punch a whole at the top and close with some Linen thread.

Happy Easter

Wishing every one a HAPPY EASTER!
Rejoice in the season.

This is my Easter card I sent to friends and family. Since the outside said you crack me up, I decide to put a different knock, knock joke into each card.

Here is one of my favorites.

Knock, knock!

Who's there?

Heidi.

Heidi who?

Heidi the eggs around the house.

Easter envelope basket

A cute Basket made from an envelope, yes I said envelope. 

Lick it shut then using the Tag punch, punch away some to create a handle.

Use your punches to create an adorable bunny for the front.

I would love to say this was my idea but it was actually a swap shared at leadership. 

I do not know who the original creator was.  

But I totally LOvE it!

You crack me up!

Here is a cute Easter card.

Inspired by a few others who had created cards that opened.

I stamped the images from A Good Egg stamp set.

Even including some words when the egg is opened. 

I used the beautiful Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper to dress up this egg.

Carrot

Ears wishing you a 

happy day.

To make this carrot you will need the  Stampin' Up! Pennant bigz xl die. The back piece is cut slightly smaller than the front, allowing it to lay flat.

Thank you to my good friend, Fairle, for sharing this adorable carrot project.

I changed mine just a little. I wanted to stamp on this cute bunny from the Animal Crackers stamp set.

How did I make my weaved basket from paper?

Several have asked how I made my basket.
Well, I used a quick simple technique to get the weave started.

First I placed 4 strips

  
 

then 4 more 

then 3 more

and finally I only had to weave the last 3. 

Pushing them all into the center. 

Flip it over. Take a piece of 3 1/4" square to cover the centers and make it easier to fold the strips up. 

Now you are ready to start weaving strips around the box.

I adhered each corner before turning to the next side this will give it strength.

After doing 4 strips high

I then cut off any excess paper on the top so I could place 4 Scallop envelope together as a box inside by basket. To finish off this basket I used a 3/4" strip folded in half to go around the top edge. Add the rest of your embellishments (ribbon, brads etc). 

Happy Crafting

I have made several of these adorable baskets. They will be used as gifts and door prizes for a few differnet events. I am even saving one to be used as my blog candy to be drawn at the end of the month. So don't forget to comment today to get entered into the drawing.

This idea was cased from MJ's blog.

Thanks for the inspiration!

This was a rather simple project when I figured out what I was doing. Using Sale-A-Bration stamp, paper and ribbon I was able to create my own little basket.
