A little Memory Box Spring and a SALE!

 

PamSparksBunnySceneHello700

 

I’ve noticed the dark chocolate bunnies showing up in the grocery store aisles! These two cute NEW bunnies are hiding out under the flowers in their own little miniature world!

 

I created the little scene on an A-2 size card with the following dies…

Shaker Rectangle Frames (30003)

Stitched Rectangle Layers (30009)

Oh Hello Again (30010)

Fanciful Fences (30035)

Springtime Bunnies (99109)

Florina Corner (99081)

Puffy Clouds (98172)

Alphabet Soup (98795)

 

Here’s a close up of the bunnies… I drew in a little brown line with an E49 copic marker to define the ears, a black dot for the eyes and a little white gel pen on the eye. An itty  bitty white pom pom for the tail.

Next… the NEW Tulip Bouquet die!  So pretty and ready for Spring!

Here’s the steps to create this card…

  • *die cut the Tulip Bouquet in an A-2 white top folding card-base (you’ll want to keep a few of the white pieces to stick back in)
  • *then die cut it in black card-stock, keeping the Tulip outline
  • *line the inside of the card with a piece of Raspberry Dot Signature Pattern Paper
  • *piece and glue the black cut into the white negative die cut space in the white card-base
  • *glue in the little white pieces you kept
  • *die cut the middle size butterflies from the NEW Leavenworth Butterfly Trio die in black card-stcok and NEW Cascadia Butterfly Trio die in Raspberry Moroccan Signature Pattern Paper
  • *glue them together and glue to card
  • *wrap the card with two rows of Black and White Bakers Twine, knot is under the rectangle
  • *die cut the smallest rectangle from the NEW Cross Stitched Frame Borders set in white card-stock
  • *stamp just the word ‘hello’ from the Hello Combo stamp (I used my stamp a ma jig to stamp it)
  • *adhere the rectangle over the knot with mounting squares

Birthday card, SFYTT and a winner!!!

 

Hi everyone!  Thank you all for your wonderful comments on the giveaway post! and all your comments all year long!!  So fun to hear from you all and I failed to get replies sent this time!  My computer has the craziest problem right now and I’ve been wasting too much time trying to figure it out on my own.  I think I better just take it to the store! ugh.  Of all things,  MUTE is stuck on!  So I can’t watch the videos of our grandkids or stamping videos!  My videos won’t work in iPhoto either! No sound at all!  Have any of you ever had this happen?

 

ok – now that I got the complaining out of the way….

 

the WINNER of the Warm Wishes stamp set and die IS….

 

#36 Rannah Romps!!!!

I used Colorbox Chalk inks for the leaves and flowers, Pink Pastel, Rouge, Lime Pastel and Deep Green.  Black ink for the flower centers is Versafine Onyx Black.  I inked up the birthday wishes stamp with Versamark and embossed it with Ranger Detail Embossing powder.

The card is top folding and 5 1/2 inches square.
