Ballerina Dancer Card

Stepped out of my Clean & Simple CAS style again and made a girly card with many embellishments.

Used a StitchyBear digi, Ballerina. Made the card in monochromatic colors of pinks. Used Recollections Butterfly Wings cardstock & 2 shades of pink glitter cardstock. Used Spellbinders Nest die to cut out the digi that I printed on pink cardstock. Used Cuttlebug embossing folder for sentiment tag strip. Stamped Whimsical Designs Everyday Sentiments sentiment. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink spun sugar to make the white silk flowers pink. Always a good thing to buy white so you can match to the color you want with TH Distress Inks. Added feathers, flowers & gems.

Kraft Easter Basket & Bunny

Most of you know me as a Clean & Simple CAS style person when it comes to my creations. Sometimes I step out of my comfort zone of CAS. Today, I stepped out of my CAS comfort zone and created this Kraft Easter basket and Bunny. I had my weaving & glitter thinking cap on.

You can see Amanda Coleman's blog by clicking on B is for Basket of Kittens to see the instructions on how to create.

Used Kraft cardstock for the basket. The basket reminded me of a Longaberger style basket. Used white cardstock to emboss the Bunny on. Used white glitter cardstock & Spellbinder oval die to make the Bunny look like it was inside a fancy decorated Easter Egg.

Stamped Basic Grey sentiment and added an action wobble to the back of it for hopping wobble fun.

My Crop-A-Dile punch was handy for punching thru the many layers for the holes for handles & brads to attach the handles with.


Front view. Yes you can see the tape holding it together that after I photographed I taped from inside & removed the outside tape.
