Tutorial - Easter Place Setting

Good morning everyone! Today I have a project for place settings for Easter.

I modified a tutorial I did last easter for this one.

Cut a piece of double sided cardstock weight paper to 6x6". (I am using Basic Grey's new Kioshi line).

Round the four corners.

Score at 2" and at 4" Take your paper, turn it one turn, and score again at 2" and 4". You should have a tick tack toe pattern of scores, with nine squares.

Fold at your score lines, and cut from side of paper 2" to middle score lines on the top and on the bottom.



Fold it up, punch a small hole

secure with mini brad

cut a .75" strip from the same paper, and adhere to top

Color your Rubber Romance Image - this is Marcie Has Something to Say.

Cut out colored image and adhere to basket

Use stickers or stamps to name the basket for your place setting. At the brunch, I will fill this up with some easter "grass" and jelly beans or something like that.


Enjoy!

Unity Thursday 3-25-10

Good morning everyone!! Welcome to our Thursday unity hop!!

I'm still set making in my cards, and this week, I used the "where you are" again, but with a totally different look - I love how when you stamp solid image stamps with a dye ink, you can still see the underlying pattern. Its a really nice subtle effect




(this set will be available soon)

** embossing folder is Sizzix.

Be sure to check in with all of the DT blogs to see all the beautiful creations!! I hope you enjoy the rest of your hop today. Have a GREAT thursday!!

Unity Thursday 3-11-10

Good morning everyone!! Today, we're Rockin it Unity Style again!!!

Its been a very unseasonally wet year for us. This little rain girl is so perfect.



I tried using a cuttlebug folder to emboss while inked. I did not love the effect, but somehow, it looked a little "wet" to me, and so, I used it as a rainy sky in this card.

I hope you have a wonderful day today! enjoy your hop through everyone's blogs!

tutorial - Window Candy Card

Good morning everyone. Today, I'm making a just because window card, to give a pick me up piece of candy to a special someone.

Cut cardstock to 6"x12" and score at 5 7/8" and 6 1/8"
Fold at scores. (I use a straight edge to ensure a crisp fold)

Using a circle cutter (this is CM), cut a circle from top left quadrant of front of card


Make another circle to act as a frame, and adhere. Adhere flower, and candy piece (mine is caramel).
Stamp and color your Rubber Romance image. Since the cardstock is flat, a straight color on the present may make the card a bit too flat.
To fix that problem, paper piece the present part. Stamp image again on two printed patterned papers, cut and adhere. Adhere to your card with pop dots. Anchor the entire image with two strips of paper going both sideways and upwards (I am using a paper frill).
The card is a bit top heavy, so it does not stand up well. But that's not going to matter to the recipient, who will eat the candy... :)

Enjoy.
