Jelly Belly Bunnies

A fun way to dress up the jelly beans instead of just dumping them in the basket like I normally do. These were made using the Sizzix Snowman die, adding some ears with the SU medium oval punch, and the belly of sweet treat cups filled with Jelly Belly beans and some white chocolates in the one.

Envelope Card

For today's colors of Crumb Cake, Vanilla, and Concord Crush and for the teapot Tuesday tulip challenge. I like this card fold that closes to form it's own envelope. Stamp by Great Impressions, Lattice Square, buttons, and cardstocks by Stampin' Up.
I couldn't find my linen thread so I used the new baker's twine and colored it with a Crumb Cake marker.

Tulip Time

This older stamp is by Inkadinkado and is called Basket Of Blossoms. I have had it forever but this is the first time I used it. Lots of coloring scared me away, I suppose. I colored the image with various Copic markers and added some Taffeta Cream acrylic paint dots to flowers centers.
My garden tulips are blooming now and they are so lovely, Apricot Beauties mixed in with white narcissus with salmon centers. I just love spring flowers!

Paris In Springtime

Paris in the springtime is one of those things on my to do list. For this card I combined a few challenges on Splitcoast to catch up a bit. All supplies are Stampin' Up: Bashful Blue with Paisley Petals designer paper, taffeta ribbon, pearls, and cherry blossoms and sentiment from Easter Blossoms set. I ran this through the Big Shot (the Billy Joel song always gets stuck in my head when I mention this piece of equipment)using the Lattice Squares folder and added some piercing to the edges for textured interest.
Hope you are having a lovely spring day wherever you may be!

Easter ideas

Here are a couple of older Easter projects that I really had fun making. I found a bunny shape pattern on the Internet and adapted it to make a card(fold is on the side), and the second one I made to look like a chocolate egg. I made another with a decorated chocolate egg but can't seem to find it. I'll keep looking and post when I do, it was my favorite Easter card ever!

Embedded Embossed Elements

All supplies except for pearls are Stampin' Up. I used the embedded embossing technique on the front panel with the Lattice Squares folder and the Elements Of Style set. Antique brad, Chantilly lace and half pearls to complete.
