Addicted to Stamping

Easter

 

If I don’t have a stamp for an occasion, I usually turn to punch art.  The Medallion stamp was embossed on Whisper White then colored with markers. I used the Modern Label Punch to make the cross. 

Stamps: Medallion, Well Scripted

Colours: Whisper White, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum. Brushed Silver

Accessories, Modern Label, Wide Oval, ¾” Circle Punches, Clear & Silver ep, Rhinestone Brad, White Taffeta ribbon.

Several people asked me how I stamped the cross. I cheated. Stamp the medallion on the Background first. Lay the labels across the centre of the medallion to stamp them. Make one longer for the bottom, a short one for the top and two the same for the sides (or use one label and cut it apart) . Cut them off at the centre and hide the raw edges under the circle. It's easier than it looks.

 

Bunny Envelope

 

Easter dinner is at my house this year so I made these little treat envelopes for the kids.  I used the 3”x3” envelopes, cut the top off and decorated the top with a ¾” strip of DSP.  I used my Scallop Oval die to make the ears. Cut an oval then fold it in half lengthwise placing the folded side along the oval edge to cut the other side of the ear. The face is made from punches

Flower: Boho Blossoms

Cheeks: 1 ¼” Circle

Eyes: Extra Large Bird Punch & ½”Circle

Nose: Heart to Heart

Teeth: Double Rectangle

Mouth: ½” Circle

The Hen House

   

Here’s an easy Easter project made with the Milk Carton die. I cut 6 milk cartons from Kraft cardstock. Punch a hole in the front panel of each milk carton with the 1” circle punch. Cut the bottom flap to ½” so you don’t have to punch through 2 layers of cardstock. Glue 3 cartons together, turn 2 cartons upside down for the second level and glue the last one on top. Decorate with some DSP and ribbon.

The chicks are from A Good Egg stamp set. For the roof, I used a scrap of Rich Razzleberry 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" and scored at 1/2" along both long sides.

 

Suit Dress and Brief Case

I can’t believe we’re already in Week #10 of my online class. I’ve been getting a lot of requests to do more of these so here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming next......100 projects made from one Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Pack.  I'll post more details soon but for now here's a peek at two of the projects and a sample tutorial from my upcoming DSP class.

Egg Card & Treat Bag

This Easter Egg card is made using the Scallop Frame die and some scraps of Cottage Wall DSP. I embellished it with some Sweet Pea Felt pieces (love 'em).
