Happy Easter!!

 

 

 

 

 

Used a Martha Stewart grass punch on a 5-1/4" strip of paper...taped into a ring, then taped on a 7" ribbon handle.  Hope you all have a wonderful Easter!!

Office Labels

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall...

  

To make card base, cut a 2-7/8"  x 11-7/8" piece of card stock...score at 2-3/8" intervals.  Each season scene is stamped on a 2" x 2-1/2" piece and mounted on a black piece that's just 1/16" larger on each side.  Before you glue each scene onto the card...cut a 14" piece of ribbon...use double stick tape to adhere it to the top panel...allow 4-1/2" of the ribbon to stick out of the right side of the card.  Accordian fold your card and glue your scenes on.  All images of Emi are from MC-24 (Tea Time).

Snowflake stamps are from MC-9 (Snowflakes)

Branch and Cherry Blossom stamps are from CL-11 (Keiko).

 

Cloud stamp is from CL-2 (Happy Thoughts) and Sun stamp is from CL-6 (Sunny Days)

Flower Pens

Just for fun I made a bunch of pens...I'm getting hooked on using those kokeshi faces...

I have a foam dot between the 2 flowers and between the top flower and the kokeshi face (for added dimension).  I used Glossy Accents to coat each face, and for a secure hold between layers...and finally, to glue the flower to the pen.

I used Emi's face from stamp #6026:

It Just Dawned On Me...

that you can use the pilgrim hat from cling set MC-30 (Happy Thanksgiving) for a St. Patrick's Day treat:

 Fuzzy dog is from cling set MC-32 (From Our Home).

Here's what it looks like opened.  I didn't have any green candy handy...but, you get the picture ;)  Click here to get to the how-to's.  Happy Friday!!!

Cupcakes!!

One more idea using cling set CL-15 (Kokeshi)...cupcakes!!

Click here for a pattern.  Simply cut 2 pattern pieces out of contrasting papers.  Glue the belt onto the main piece, matching the bottom edge.  Then simply wrap around a cupcake and secure the end with double stick tape (you might want to put a couple of pieces of tape to hold it securely).  Mount faces on a toothpick and add a ribbon...that's it!!
