Birthday Set

I had two friends who had a birthday this week.  I was invited to have dinner to celebrate.  Well, you can't go to a birthday celebration without a gift!  So I whipped up two card boxes to give them at dinner.  Each box contained 4 cards for various occassions they could use.  This one turned out really cute.  I JUST LOVE the Sophia paper pack it is happy paper.  Makes me smile.  :)

I used the Sophia Paper pack for the patterned paper, Sweet Leef cardstock for the box, Pearl Opaques ($2.95) for the embellishments on the front of the box, Goldrush and Tulip ink.  

Here comes Peter Cotton Tail.....

Here are some Easter cards I've been making.  These are were shown on the frame display earlier. 

 I used Close to My Heart (CTMH) products to make all the cards. 

The gorgeous patterned paper I used was from the Sophia paper pack X7131B ($12.95). I will be ordering this one again! 

The blue cardstock card base is Moonstruck

I used the A Hop A1112 stamp set ($7.95) together with the A Little Everything D1408 stamp set ($22.95)

Hope you enjoy!  Until later happy stamping and papercrafting!

Check out the frame using chicken wire for creating a display for my cards.  Frame..price -0-; Chicken wire....price -0-, can of Black Satin paint  cost $3.48...Enjoyment....priceless.  Time to make was about an hour give or take a few minutes. 

Cute uh?  Saw it in a magazine and thought it was a great idea.

EASTER Projects

Here are the projects I will be doing in my Saturday, March 26th workshop.  We will be making 2 pizza boxes, 2 smaller baskets and 1 large basket.  The baskets are a really cute and a great way to present a little gift to a friend.  Oh and let's not forget inexpensive.  They are especially great when there's chocolate in them.  ; )

The small baskets use a 6x6 piece of cardstock and the larger basket is 9x9 piece of cardstock.  The box only takes a 6x11 piece of cardstock.  These are decorated very simple but you cold really doll them up.  They are quick and easy to make!  I swear!
