Fast and Fabulous

It's my birthday today so I thought I would post one of my favorite Birthday cards.

When I first saw this set as a hostess set, just a year ago, I wasn't impressed. Isn't that typical, don't we want to see these stamps used in a project with actual ink on them before we fall in love with them. Well, when I saw this post on splitcoaststampers, it took my breath away and I had to give it a try. There this set sat on my shelf neglected of ink all this time and look what can be done with it. Now it's only available for 2 more days. It's still not too late, you could place a qualifying order and earn this set still. This card took me total about 5 minutes to put together.

Supplies:

Stamps: Fast and Fabulous

Paper: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Marina Mist

Ink: Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Old Olive

Tools: Eyelet Border, Scallop Oval Punch, Small oval punch, Wide striped night of navy ribbon (retired)

Changes they are a coming

Starting today June 1 demonstrators are allowed to pre order from the up coming 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog. If you would like to take advantage of a discount on all items and get the opportunity to order new products early plus a number of other benefits contact me paularough1@gmail.com to find out how you can become a demonstrator. Even someone who never wants to do a workshop can benefit from this program.

This promotion happened in April where everyone was given a chance to purchase the Four Frames set that will be available on July 1 and here is the card I made with my set.

It looks very similar to the promotion picture but you can see it a whole lot better.

• It uses Marina Mist, River Rock, Cherry Cobler, Whisper white card stock
• Printed Paisley dsp.
• Four Frames and Hello Again stamp sets with Basic Black and Cherry Cobler ink
• The Tools used are Scallop Trim Border punch, Small oval punch, Boho Blossoms punch, and the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and of course the Big Shot.

I think my new favorite color is Marina Mist. It's not really a turquoise, sort of a light aqua but it has a richness and depth that is beautiful. If you haven't tried it yet I strongly suggest you do, I'm thinking you'll love it too.

I will post a link to the Last Chance Items when it becomes available. New catalogs are coming too. Let me now if you want to preorder one. They are $5 plus shipping If you want to pick it up from me there will be no additional charge but you must let me know soon.

Easter Bunnies

Here is a whole bunch of Easter Bunnies. I made these five little Easter Baskets for my five grand nieces. They love it when I have a special treat for them on special days. I used In Color dsp on these and punched out what I needed to create the faces. Now when they turn the baskets around they will see the tail end of the bunny.

Isn't that cute, the little tail.

This box is made with just a 6" square of card stock, scored at 1 1/2" on all four sides. Cut 2 of the score lines on the same side up to the intersecting score line. Then turn it to the other side and do the same. Fold sides up and glue to form the box. Add ribbon and dsp.

Here is a closeup of the bunny face. I used 1 3/4" circle punch for head, small oval for pink in ears and large for the white, 1/2" circle punch for the cheeks, sponged with pretty in pink and dotted with basic black marker. The 1/4" circle punch for the eyes in black and the nose in pink. The whiskers and mouth were drawn on with markers. Then white gel pen to highlight the eyes. Very easy.

Any questions let me know.
