Big Shot card using the Scallop Oval Frame, Flower, Daisy #2, Beautiful butterfly, Butterfly embosslit

This is a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" card, to fit inside of the 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" envelope, but in order to fit it in the envelope you would have to cut of part of the daisy or take the largest daisy off the bottom and only put the smallest on the top, So I will have to make my own envelope to fit this card. I got my inspiration from Andrea Walford for this card, and changed the dsp and colors, added rhinestone brads to the daisies, and layered on a second butterfly. Andrea's card might be a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card, the flowers would fit that way, (why didn't I think of that earlier????) Oh well, I still like it.

Scallop Oval Easter Egg card

with envelope modified to smaller size

When I saw the Easter Egg card done by Jackie Topa, I knew I had to make one. I added a layer of Designer Paper behind my scallops and added two stripes. I also modified a small open end envelope so that my egg would fit perfectly. You can view Jackie's card at http://jackietopa.typepad.com/addicted_to_stamping/2010/03/egg.html

All supplies Stampin’ Up!

Paper: Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper (DSP), Whisper White cardstock

Accessories: Big Shot, Scallop Oval Frame Bigz die, Sweet Pea Stitched Felt, Mini Glue Dots, Small open-end envelopes

1. Cut Whisper White cardstock 3” x 8.5 ”. Fold in half  for card base.

2. Cut Designer Series Paper  3” by 4 1/2”, and die cut oval shape. (see photo above)

3. Cut three pieces of DSP 2" x 3" and place on the die as shown in photo (you will have two pieces stacked on top of each other.) Cut. 

4. You will end up with three scallops and three half moons (see photo)

5. Place two of the half moons pieces on the die, just 1/8” over oval cut line. (see photo)

 

6. This will cut two stripes. (see photo)

7. Glue scallops and stripes on egg. Option: Cut out two ovals, cut one in half and layer on top, so you can have a different top and bottom, that is what I did in the sample. Cut off excess

8. Place card base on the Scallop Oval Frame die just below the top of the oval and cut. (If you line it up so you just have three scallops showing above the card that will be perfect) see photo

9. Glue egg to card front matching at the bottom This will leave a small portion above the top of the card front, so that your finished egg is oval at the top not flat.

10. Trim a small portion off the bottom of your card if you want it to be able to stand.

11. Using mini glue dots, add a Sweet Pea Stitched felt leaf and flower on egg.

12. Cut flap off a small open-end envelope and trim down to 6”. Score 1 5/8” from open end. Cut off inside portion from score line to sides, leaving a flap. Use original flap as template to shape.

Thanks for looking. Enjoy your cute little Easter Egg card.

Happy Stampin'

Chocolate Bunny with Sending Love Designer Series Paper

At leadership this year I received an awesome Chocolate Bunny swap from Shawn Perez. You can see her card at the bottom of this post. Thank you Shawn, off all the swaps I received this was definately one of my favorites. Here is my version of her card. I changed my card from Vanilla to Chocolate. The front panel from Chocolate with Perfect Polka Dots to Vanilla embossed with Finial Press. I flipped the Sending Love Designer Series Paper over to the glittery side, and changed the panel it was put on from Cocoa to Chocolate. I also changed the ribbon from pink to chocolate, reversed the layers the bunny was on to vanilla, pink then chocolate, and embossed the bunny, which I think really pulls your eye to him.  So my colors were the same minus the cocoa, and I used her exact layout.

Easter Bunny Pillow Box Basket

Is this not just toooo stinkin' cute? I was in a 3D swap at leadership this year and I received one of these as a swap back from Cristena Bagne at http://www.gettincrafty.com/.  You can find it under her 3d section. This is a fun project, thanks Cristena.

The only changes I made was to use the Large and Small oval punches for the ears, instead of the Large and Wide ovals. I also used a different ribbon, and made the handle longer. I also added a pom pom (not shown) on the back for a tail.
