Well
Thursday’s class seems so long ago now…
Since
then I have attended a Scrapbook Layout Class with Jacque form Auckland, this
was all day Saturday 9.30am till 5pm, and I was completely shattered
afterwards.
Yesterday
(Sunday) I was in so much pain, I could hardly move.
Tonight
{Monday 31st March} I taught at Women Connecting my Noah’s Ark
Double Slider card, which I will post about tomorrow.
Tonight
was also the cut off date for the Stampin’ U! Sale-A-Bration promotion, I placed
an order, and 5 minutes later, someone else sent an order in via email – grrrrrr!!!
I did quite
well though, what with my own order, the Hostess Reward and the Sale- A-Bration
rewards, this order, I received $541.20 worth of products, and the difference to
pay for this order was $81.47 … not bad eh?!!!
Gotta
say, I ♥ Stampin’ Up!
For Thursday’s
class, we made an Easter Bunny "Punch Art" Easter Egg Box, and a Gift Card Holder
…
Easter
Bunny "Punch Art" Easter Egg Box
I adapted
the pattern for the Card In A Box, and used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch for
the closure.
The
cardstock was “Naturals White” and stamped with the “Hardwood” stamp, using a
masking technique, as the top of the box is stamped randomly with the “Petal
Parade” {Sale-A-Bration} stamp set.
The
Fringe Scissors are used to create the grass, and the Banner punch to create
the Swag.
For the
first box, we stamped banners from the “Banner Blast” stamp set on to Naturals
White, and then punched out with the Banner Punch.
On the
second box, we used the “Sweet Sorbet” DSP to create the cute swag.
The stamp
set “Perfect Pennants” and matching Banner Framelits are used to create the
sign the bunny is holding.
The Bunny
is created using a number of Punches; Petite Petals, Boho Blossoms, Large Oval,
Extra-Large Oval, Small Heart, Owl Builder, Circle Framelits
This bunny
is so cute, I just wanted to squeeze his cheeks!
Gift Card
Holder
I made
these with the class back at Christmas time, but after seeing the gorgeous card
that Jen made using the “Perfect Blend” stamp set, I just had to use it too!
Made with
the Envelope Punch Board {$38.95}, these are a breeze to make, and so quick and
easy.
The coffee
cup and wording are stamped with Black StazOn ink, then coloured using Blender
Pens.
The “Gorgeous
Grunge” stamp set is liberally stamped in “Soft Suede” to create a spilt coffee
effect.
For the
inside of the card, I wasn't fussed on the underside of the DSP, so cut a strip of the gorgeous floral paper from the same pack, and stuck it to the flap that
holds the gift card.
One would
never know that I had altered the cardstock!!!
Instead
of Washi Tape, I have used strips of DSP around the base of the card and tied
with contrasting Organdy ribbon.
The
sentiment “Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful” is from the “Perfect Pennants” stamp set, had hand-coloured using Stampin’ Markers.
A Candy
Dot is placed on the corner flap of the gift card holder to “anchor” the
project.
I am secretly
pleased as to how these two projects turned out!
