Who Needs a Rabbit?

This idea like the basket came from several cards I have seen on Splitcoast. I had a lot of fun coming up with this one. The chicken was pretty easy to create. The head is 1" circle, Boho Blossoms and small star punches. The body is 1 3/8" circle, wing is small oval and the nest is a large oval with slit punch. I sponged the edges with chocolate chip. The large egg is done using the Creative Memories Oval Cutter. The eggs are the wide ovals.
The inside of the card has computer generated text. I found the saying on a stamped card that was a huge inspiration for this card.

This is another card you can create at my "Punch it Up Thursday" class on March 26th at 7pm. RSVP now to ensure your spot. Remember with the punch it up class you get to create the projects as well as an instruction card for the punched critter.

Scallop Envelope Easter Basket

How cute is this? I got the idea from several cards that I saw on blogs and splitcoast. I took the card ideas and made it 3-D!

The basket is done in Baja Breeze. The eggs are Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink and Barely Banana. The handle is Pretty in Pink as well as the Easter tag. The rabbit is done in Whisper white and pretty in pink pastels. The body is 1 3/8" circle and the feet are small ovals. The tail is a piece of cotton from a cotton ball.
The eggs were speckled with Itty Bitty Backgrounds. The handle is done using the crimper.

If you love this then join me on March 26th at 7pm for my "Punch it Up Thursday" class. We will be creating this cute basket as well as two other projects.

Top Note Purse

My stamping friend Valerie came over last week and this is what she wanted to create. We had a lot of fun putting this one together. She got the purse idea from one of our favorite bloggers Inking Idaho. We used the colors basic gray, baja breeze and kiwi kiss for the tote. The cards are all originals from Valerie.
