MY SLATTED BASKET

Hello, hope everyone having a wonderful day.  

I finally got to make a Slatted Basket this week, and I thought I would show it to you.

It was fun to make and would be a perfect little gift filled with whatever

suits the reason for the the gift-giving.

Since we are so close to Easter, I placed a small fuzzy chick and some sparkly eggs

in mine.

I used one sheet of 12x12 paper for the box base

1 Sheet of 12 x 12 paper for the slats

White card stock for the scalloped border

Ribbon for a bow

I cut everything out before I started so I could just

assemble the basket all at once.

I found the video for making this basket at:

and MayMay takes you through each step with wonderful

Southern Charm and humor!!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Until later......

EGGS IN THE GRASS CARD

Hi friends, a damp and dark day with rain today.  Good time to catch up 

with stamping and coloring. Need to get my local Easter cards in the mail.  

The card for today was made from an old stamp from Creative Impressions, which

no longer makes rubber stamps.  I love this beautiful stamps and every time I

color it up, it is so much fun.

Beautiful papers are from Fawn Lawn, Perfect Plaids, love these too.

Colored with Copics.

Sending this card off to someone who needs a little love and encouragement

right now, hope it brightens her day.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day.  Until later......

BSS IDEA - Coloring on Black

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff  Monday Idea.

This weeks idea was to color a stamped image on black card stock.

Stamp - Stampendous - Hummingbird Blossom (LBCR003)

Stamped with white Brilliance Pad, and heat set.

Colored with Prisma Color Pencils

Went back over some areas with a white Gel Pen

Yellow Stickles and White Liquid Pearls on flower center

Used a Cuttlebug embossing dot folder to emboss the front

of the card.

The purple mat is cut from a Grand die by Spellbinders

and embossed with a Cuttlebug Anna Griffin EF.

For the inside I used the same stamp stamped in white and

the sentiment.

Try coloring on a dark card stock for a different effect.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Until later......

BUNNIES

I was playing around in the stamp room yesterday with some cute little papercrafts I found on 

Pinterest.  These bunnies were made for three little friends of mine, who will surely enjoy the

treats inside.

It uses the Top Notefrom Stampin' Up  die but you could just as well use an oval or square. and various circle, oval and heart punches.  The box between the two top note dies is an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch piece of paper.  Score on both sides of the 81/2 inch length at 1inch.  Score the shorter side at 3 1/2 and 5 inches.  Cut up to the 1 inch score lines where they cross the 3 1/2 and 5 inch score lines on both sides.  Fold all score lines and tape sides together to form a box 

And, of course add a fluffy tail to the back when finished.

That's all for me today, feeling a little under the weather, going to rest.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day. Until later..............

BSS IDEA - HIPSTERS

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamp and Stuff Monday Idea.

This week, I made a really cute note card set from the Tim Holtz,

Stampers Anonymous Hipsters Stamp Set (CM5288)

These quirky stamps were fun to color up.  I just matted them with

a coordinating color onto various embossed backgrounds on

a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 note card.  Would make a great gift.  Also came with

some quirky words, but I left the inside blank.

I colored with copics.

These are fun images, and would be great for teens too.
