Easter Candy Gift Box

A fun way to present a friend or teacher with Easter joy! The box is 4-1/2" square and 1" tall. For a decorative edge, I turned the flaps out and used the scalloped trim border punch then secured with sticky strip.

Months a go I bought Stampin' Up!s thick clear window sheets but this is the first project I have made with them. Love them! At first I thought the plastic was way too thick to work with, but I scored and folded and it looks fantastic!! Mini glue dots are the best for holding the clear corners together.

Like the paper "grass"? I could have made that with cardstock but Target has assorted colors for about 50-cents a bag--can't beat that.


Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

My Digital Studio Layouts

I've been busy working on layouts from the kids club state wrestling tournament. One of the neat things about My Digital Studio is that I was actually able to start while we were still out of town. No paper, glue, and supplies--just software on the laptop!

Since I am getting used to a new camera and new version of photoshop the process for me is quite slow right now. Thankfully, MDS, very user friendly so I don't have to struggle with that part!

To get the background color for these pages I just selected custom color and then clicked a spot on one of the maroon hoodies in the photo. Easy peasy! Still want to add a pattern overlay but haven't decided exactly what I want.

In case you are not familiar with My Digital Studio, it can be purchased as a stand-alone papercrafting software solution OR if you already have a digital imaging system you like, all the images will work with most of the popular software on the market.

Right now, you can even get digital downloads free with any Stampin' Up! product purchase but this offer ends Thursday, March 31.

Just thought I would share a little of what I've been up to.

Crosses of Hope Easter Card

With St. Patrick's Day passed, that means our next holiday is Easter. And this year there's still time to make cards even if you haven't started yet!
This striking card is fairly simple to create with the right tools. For the center panel, the cross is stamped with Versamark ink onto Stampin' Up!s glossy white cardstock. After letting it dry just a bit, I inked up the brayer with elegant eggplant and rolled across the glossy piece going right over the cross.

After letting the panel dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Just Believe stamp set using elegant eggplant ink. Mounting the panel on a piece of elegant eggplant cardstock adds a subtle accent.

For the card border, I used a Stamp 'n Write marker to color a little elegant eggplant in each flower well on the Framed Tulips embossing folder. Then I inserted the cardstock and cranked it through the Big Shot.

That's it!

Spring in My Backyard

This is what my yard looked like about 9am Monday.


And this is what I saw about 3pm.

Can't wait to get these on a scrapbook page.

In fact, I already have the title!

All Occasion Handmade Card

Do you like to have a few cards on hand that can be sent out for nearly any occasion at a moment's notice? This design lends itself to that purpose.

If you want even more flexibility, leave the sentiment off until sending time. Colors for this bright and cheery card are daffodil delight, poppy parade, and marina mist all on whisper white. To get the multi-colored image I simply inked up the flower stamp from the Just Believe stamp set in daffodil delight, then colored poppy parade marker direct onto the stamp (over the yellow) before stamping.

Like the patterned background? That's the Vine and Blossom Stampin' Around wheel. Just a few rolls across the cardstock and voila!

One of my favorite things about using Stampin' Up! products is that I can get ink (pads and markers), cardstock, ribbon and other accessories in the same colors. That makes putting a card or scrapbook page together so much easier!

Happy Monday--thanks for stopping in!
