Wedding Favours

Few! All done! Over 200 of these milk cartons for a wedding this weekend. Normally it doesn't take me long to make these but it did. Couldn't do much at a time because my right fingers was in pain. The pain was not from making these. The pain might be from the whiplash back in November. The whiplash does funny things to my body. The doctor can not figure out what is causing the pain so he sends me to see a specialist. I'm seeing one this Thursday. Can't wait to find out what is causing the pain.

The colours for the wedding are yellow and blue. Nice combinations. I love it!

Teacher Gift Framed Art

A framed art for the teacher. The sentiment is from the Trust God stamp set.

I made the roses with the Spiral Flower Die. I love this die! The bigger flower was made by putting 2 spiral flowers together to make it full and big. I added pearls to the flowers to make them pretty.

Decorated Straws

Hello stampers! My kids love these milk straws. They are straws that transforms milk into chocolate and strawberry flavoured milk. The straws are good on its own but I want to pretty it up. My girls will love the flowers on them.

I added flowers to the straws using the Spiral Flower Die.

Next time I'll add a pearl to the middle of the flowers.

Puppy Bookmark Tutorial

Hello stampers! I made a tutorial for you. I was listening to Christian music and had a heat rice pad thingy around my neck (neck pain) while I made this tutorial. Pretty relaxing! I had not made tutorial for over a year now and I thought I try doing it again.  Not too bad. Just very slow at it.

You'll need a 2.5" x 2.5" pattern paper. Not too busy of a pattern. I tried card stock but it doesn't fold nice.

Fold the paper in half to make a triangle.

Mark at the top of the triangle where it is folded at 1-5/8" from the tip in on both sides. Mark 1" down from the tip to the middle. See photo above where the yellow pattern paper is marked in red. You'll do your marking in pencil. I did the other one in pencil.

Fold on the markings to make the ears.

Fold about 1/2" up at the bottom of the triangle to make the mouth.

Decorate the puppies. I did 2 different ways. The yellow one I drew the eyes, nose, tongue and flowers with a black pen. The other puppy I punch out 2 white pieces of white card stock and drew in the eyes and glue it to the puppy. I drew the nose and then add an upside down heart to make it a tongue. I used the Owl punch for the heart and the eyes.

This one show the nose of the puppies.

Put the puppy peeking in your favourite book or...

showing the face or...

on the top corner of the book.


 OPTIONAL:

If you are afraid the puppy will not stay in your book then you can do it this way. You'll need a 2-1/8" x 4" card stock. Trace the top of the dog onto the card stock.

Cut on the trace line and punch the other end of the card stock.

Glue the puppy onto the card stock matching the top and decorate the bookmark. Enjoy!

Make tons to give away! The recipient will love these little cuties!

Puppy Bookmarks

Hi stampers! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend.  I had a wonderful one even though my back was killing me (from the car accident). We had Easter dinner for the first time. I had no idea how the tradition goes. We had turkey which I think people celebrate by having ham. Oh, well! It was a good dinner anyway.

Our church had a service on Good Friday for the first time and on Sunday we had services in the morning and evening. Lots of visitors.

I made 2 puppy bookmarks. My youngest daughter made the puppy and gave them to me. I thought it was cute so I made mine out of card stock. A little hard on the folding. Card stock don't fold well. Will have to try pattern paper.

 

3 different ways to put your puppy in your book. You can put it at the corner of the book too. It is so cute! I like the puppy peeking out from the pages.

Basket Full of Chickies and Bunnies

Hello stampers! I've been sick for awhile. Lots of coughing and weak at times. Finally got my energy back to crafting again. Anyway, I'm thankful for the good weather here in Vancouver. It has been beautiful sunshine and warm days for the past 2 weeks. Nothing like the sunshine to brighten up the soul.

I made a basket to hold the chick and the bunny boxes I made to give to the school kids this week. The basket is not strong enough to hold all the boxes. After filling them with treats they're heavy. The card stock is not thick enough to do the job. I have to hold the bottom of the basket so the handle wont break. The basket looks pretty though. Will need to use a thicker card stock. I know the kraft papers I have is thick enough but not the colour I'm looking for.

I added 2 flowers to the sides of the basket. I used the Fancy Flower Punch to make the flowers.

I filled each favours with candies. Candies are kids favourite of course. Even if they don't like my little creations I'm sure they'll like the candies. :)

Chicky And Bunny

Hello stampers! It is so good that we have sunshine today. I so need it. The cherry blossoms are blooming making it a lovely sight all around our neighbourhood. I just feel more energize when the weather is nice.

I made 2 animal triangle boxes. I found a video by Julie Davison on YouTube that shows you how to make these 2 cute animals.

I didn't do a good job on drawing the bunny face but it is still cute. The feet was made from an Oval Punch. I had to round one side of the oval to get the heel.

The chick's wings was made using a 1-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch and then cut it in half. The beak was made from a square folded in half.

The chick and the bunny are just too cute! Happy April Fools Day!

Easter Bunny Basket

Hello stampers! I was on YouTube yesterday and came across a video by Connie Stewart. I love the basket she made so I went and made one myself using her instructions.

This basket was made using one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" card stock . Not much waste of paper here.That's a good thing.

A "how to" video can be found on YouTube. Isn't this the cutest bunny ever? It was made from punches and a Holiday Ornaments Die. Love it! I sponged every punched out pieces in Crumb Cake ink to give the bunny some dimension. I didn't have anything fluffy for the tail so I added a cream rosette Vintage Flower for it instead.

 

I might make these for my kids to collect Easter treats that we will be hiding around the house during Easter. You'll never how the weather will be here in Vancouver (rains a lot) so doing it inside the house it safer.

Wedding Favour Milk Carton Boxes

Hello stampers! I made some samples for a friend to look at. She want me to help her make some wedding favour boxes. She chose milk carton boxes and the wedding colour will be blue. My favourite colour so it was easy to do.

I did the circle scallop design with 2 hearts in the circle for this one. The lily of the valley is stamp in Soft Suede colour.

This one is a scallop square with the word love on it. I stamp the lily of the valley a little lower than the one above and also stamp it in Soft Suede ink.

This one is different from the 2 above. I stamp the flowers from the Elements of Style stamp set in Bashful Blue ink and wrap a nice lacy blue card stock around the milk carton.

I hope she doesn't have a  hard time picking which one to use because I can't decide which one is better. I love all 3 of them.

Easter Chick Lindt Chocolate Box

A cute little treat box for Easter. I filled the box with some Lindt chocolates. One of my favourite chocolates.

I used the A Good Egg stamp set for the main image. Such a cute little chick!

At first the chocolate eggs was rolling around inside the box so I decided make a piece of card stock with 3 holes for the eggs stay in place. I didn't have a bigger hole punch for the eggs to sit on so therefore they were put upside down inside the box. Oh well, the chocolates still tastes the same anyway.

Petal Cone Basket

I made a Petal Cone Gift Box and added a handle to it. It looks really nice with the handle. Now it became a basket with a cover on it.

I made this one in pink. Very girly colour basket.

A scallop flower on the lid. This makes a great gift to give to someone special. Just fill it with yummy treats and it'll put a smile on a face.
