Easter Pail

Here is a pail we will be making at our next Girl's Night Out.
I have other colors available, and our guests will get to choose from pink, green, blue, or purple (pictured).
The pail was purchased from Target in the $1 bin. Yes, the $1 bin! Why can't my other projects be so cheap? (Okay...the stamps, ribbons, rhinestones, and markers used in this project didn't make it so cheap...shhhh...)
The stamp sets are both Hero Arts and can both be purchased at Archivers, "Three Floral Frames" and "Easter Set".
I colored the image in with Copic Markers, YG25, YR04, Y11, and Y17. I used Memento Black ink for stamping on white linen paper.
I trimmed the image out with scissors.
I put 4 tiny rhinestones (Recollections from Michaels) in the center of the flowers.
The yellow ribbon is from Michaels. I hope they have more when I go back, or I'm in big trouble!
I hope you enjoy this little Easter Pail.

Happy Good Friday! Bunnies Made With Punches

I made these chocolate bar wrappers (chocolate bars inside) for Eli's 1st grade class. There are 22 in the bottom photo.

I learned how to make these at my upline, Jeri's, make and take! Thank you, Jeri!

The nose is supposed to be made with the 1/2" circle punch. I got all my supplies together yesterday - and guess what? I don't have a 1/2" punch. It was too late to place a SU order. So, I ran to Michael's AND Hobby Lobby. UGH! They didn't have one - can you believe that? So, I went home and I was forced to improvise. I used the Trio Flower Punch...and as you can see, all of the bunnies (except for the two I made at Jeri's) have a flower for a nose!

Eli said the kids loved them. He came home and said "Thank you for the cute bunnies, Mom." Wow. TOTALLY WORTH IT (even though I was up until 2:00)!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Stampin Up Various DSP (all of this DSP is from the free hostess 6x6 set), Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Pink Pirouette

Google Eyes and mini glue dots

Trio Flower Punch (or 1/2" Circle Punch), Both of the Oval Punches, Little Square Punch, 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch

Various Ribbon

Snail and Tombow Glue

Spring Topiary - Our Make & Take Craft

I hope you like my little Spring Topiary! We get to make 1 of these at our Make & Take next Thursday night! I hope you join us!
This is the best craft ever! Know why? It took 5 minutes! That is it! You will see how easy it is. There is no stamping involved.
These would be great for little place settings around a table. They would be so cute if you are having a formal Easter Dinner on Sunday. Then each guest could take one home. Well - you could make them for a Shower, a Tea, a Brunch...the list goes on. And you could write each guest's name on the little terracotta pot, if you would like.

Supplies:
Terracotta Pot - Michael's $.75 each
Styrofoam in Base of Pot - Michael's
Lollipop Stick - Michael's
Cardstock and Ribbon - Stampin Up! Celebration Paper and Ribbon
Sizzix Bigz Die - Flower Layers #3
Pop up Glue Dot
Snail Adhesive
Crystal Stickers Elements in Orange from Archivers (Mark Richards)
Prisma Flower

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Here is a little chick we made at Jeri's make-and-take. She is my upline. If you'd like to see her cards, here is her blog: http://coloringourworld.blogspot.com/

Isn't this a cute little chick?



Supplies:
Bigz Die Box with Scallops & Big Shot Machine
Punches: Scallop Circle (for bill), Scallop Border Punch (for feet), Oval Punch (for feet and wings)
Paper: I don't know if this is summer sun or yo-yo yellow, Only Orange
Other: Google Eyes, Orange Stampin Write Marker (for detail on feet and bill), Chalks (for cheeks), scissors (to make lots of little snips "feathers" on the wings), Jelly Beans, Cello Bag

Bunny Paper Clip / Bookmark

Jeri designed this and we made it at her make and take. Just oval punches and round punches for the face and ears. The nose is the spiral punch. I used pink chalk to color in the cheeks and a black Stampin Write Journaler to draw on eyes and freckles.
I think the ribbon is Groovy Guava.
Jeri said she found these jumbo paperclips at Walmart. I found some flatter/thicker ones at Borders that are really cool and I will make some bookmarks out of them and post the photos one of these days.

Bunny Made With Punches

This little bunny is made from a variety of SU! punches! Isn't he sweet? I did not design this. A lady at the Mimi Meeting designed this. I lost the piece of paper with her name on it - so I feel bad I can't give you her name. The only things I changed are the cardstock colors and I added the flower for him to hold. She used grey, white & pink - which is also very cute. And she also added a rectangle piece of cardstock so he could hold a Hershey's nugget bar.
Large Oval Punch: Outer ears & arms (4 total) (creamy caramel cs)
Small Oval Punch: Inner ears (2 total) (pretty in pink cs)
1/8 inch punch: Inner eyes (2) (vanilla cs & used black marker for pupil)
1/4 inch punch: Outer eyes (2) (pink)
3/4 inch punch: Inner face (1) (vanilla cs) and Feet (2) (creamy caramel)
1 1/4 inch punch: Outer face and thighs (3 total) (creamy caramel)
Spiral punch: Nose (1 total) (pink)
Oval Coluzzle: 2 1/4" oval needed. Body (1 total)
Craft Glue for assembly
Wire Works (I think I used the bronze) - I just used scissors to cut the wire
Flower Fusion (for the flower) - used a glue dot to stick it to the wire
Brad - soft subtles (pink) for center of flower
Black Stampin Write to make mouth and pupils
Chalk - pink - and a qtip to make rosy cheeks.
Viola!
