Paper Pumpkin Craft Time & Bunny Buddies

Posted on March 30, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

Tuesday was our monthly Paper Pumpkin Craft Time for open crafting – if you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me this time is for you – It’s my way of saying thank you for choosing me as your demonstrator.) So we spent the morning crafting together and sharing alternative ideas for the March kit.

If you haven’t seen the March kit it is super cute!

The kit always have a quick video in case you don’t want to read the instructions. LOL!

And I love the fact that Stampin’ Up! shares alternate projects for the kit if you don’t like the instructions included.

I’ve even seen the muslin bags whip stitched across the bottom to create a sachet filled with potpourri! Cool right?

So today I thought I’d share with you my alternate project that I made with the kit. I love to give little 3d gifts but don’t tend to use 3×3 note cards as often so I simply took one of our 2″ x 8″ Cello Bags (141703) and put some pencils I had picked up as basket stuffers for the kits and voila!

Cute? I’ve taken some quick shots to show you how I did the ears. I simply punched out a face using the punch 1 1/2″ Circle Punch (138299) and Whisper White Card stock and stamped the face I wanted. There are all kinds of cute combinations you can make with this kit. Then stamped the ears I wanted to use.

I fussy cut the ears and then stamped the floppy ear onto one of the stickers and cut it out before adding it to the ear.

A couple of the glue dots to attach the ears onto the face and added it to my note card that I turned so the opening went over the cello bag. The staple is covered by the bunny. I love the baker’s twine in the kit, so I tied a little bow to put on this little bunny with another glue dot.

The kits always come with lots of stuff that can be used for additional projects! AND these kits are great for all ages!!! Since they contain everything you need except scissors they are great gifts or even kits to take on the road so you can craft. It’s a surprise each month so there are all kinds of different kits.

I’ll share more about that with you next week. But today I wanted to share this wonderful card that I received from Sandy. It seemed fitting since I’m sitting here with 80 wonderful ladies at a DIY retreat who were kind enough to include me.

This card uses the lovely Falling in Love Designer Series Paper – it’s soft colors and bokeh effect are perfect for all kinds of projects and if you haven’t seen it in person you won’t be disappointed.

Sandy embossed the image in gold and added a touch of our trim along with pearls – the simplicity is beautiful I think. How about you?

Here comes Peter Cotton Tail….

Posted on February 24, 2017 by Stamp with Jini

Ducks, chicks and bunnies always make me think of Easter since my mother use to take us to the Bayshore Mall in the spring to see the eggs hatch, in a really big egg at the mall – over the weeks you could visit and watch the little beaks breaking through the shells to magically appear. It fascinated me every year. So what could be better than a cute little punch art bunny for this project?

I wanted to be able to create them they could be done for both the boys and girls in the family – so here is what I did.

I love that by simply placing the bow in a different location you have a different look – Peter

or Flopsy?

It’s your choice. My kids loved the story of Peter Rabbit growing up! And now I’ve got the song running through my head. LOL! Since it is supposed to be 78 for the high today and it feels like spring, can you blame me?

Notice the sentiment? It’s from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set – a wonderful sentiment set to start with since it has sentiments for all occasions!

Here is a chart for building your bunnies.

For Peep’s Sake – Day 2

Posted on April 1, 2015 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I shared a quick and easy card to make for Easter. Today’s cards use the same stamp set, For Peep’s Sake, but have a few more layers. Both I think are fun and colorful for spring.

This first card uses our Brights Designer Series Paper Stack (130134) great for using when you are creating multiples of things. Teamed up with Rich Razzleberry it’s a fun and bold card. A fun twist on the traditional Easter colors.

This second card uses our Retro Fresh Washi Tape (133001). Don’t you love this stuff? Quick and easy – no adhesive required and fun patterns to book.

So which do you like best? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?
