Good Morning All! I know long time no post. Couldn't be helped, with having tons of invites to do, Teacher appreciation gifts, wedding invites, oh and baseball practice, games…yeah never ending.  But I wanted to share the card that I made for my Mother.  I hope that each of you that are Mom's had a VERY wonderful MOTHER'S Day and that you spent it just the way you wanted!  I have got more goodies lined up this week so come back and check it out.  Thanks for stopping by!

Mothers Day flower Card So here it is! Super Simple and easy to make. I used the Bigz L Die Fun Flowers #121812 which is still available to purchase. You can't tell to much from the picture but I sprayed the petals with water scrunched it up let kit dry then sprayed with Shimmer Mist. LOVE this card. Doesn't have to be from Mother's Day it can be for anything.

 Cardstock used was Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake. Early Espresso satin Ribbon.

Questions? Let me know! Have a great day & Happy Stampin',

Easter Bunny Card

Author: April 23, 2011 0 Comments

Bunny Card Happy Saturday! 

I have yet another Bunny for you! I LOVE this Top Note Bunny!

Got the idea from Maria Cameron on Stampin' Connection who I believe got it from Terri Ransom. They made a box.

I could not resist making one.  I just added mine to a card…but you could easily put on in Front of the Fancy Favor box….which hmmmm….I do have and could show you later!  I will list all the supplies on that post. ; )

Now this would make a cute "Some Bunny Loves you card too" Doesn't have to be just for Easter.

Anyway, hope you enjoy heading out to take my son to Breakfast and then Easter Egg Hunting at the Fields should be fun!

If you have any questions please let me know.

 Happy Stampin',

Hello all! Ok, I can't believe I didn't share this one last year when I made them!  I have made some more just to have around and because I had bunny parts laying everywhere and didn't have the heart to toss out! UGH! No way! LOL!  Plus I had some Kit Kats handy too!  I got this idea from another Demonstrator Dawn Griffith! LOVE it! Hope you do too!  Super easy to make. Questions let me know.  Hope you are enjoying your Friday! 

Kit Kat Bunnies-1 Aren't these just adorable???

Ok, now here are the punches:

Oval - Wide for body, large for outer ear, small for inside ears andf feet

Circle – 1/2 circle for cheeks, 1/4 for eyes and nose.

As mentioned these were made last year for my son's Kindergarten Class! 

Kit Kat Bunnie group I used gingham ribbon.  Ok, on to the wrapper…

It measures at 3 x 3 1/2

Score as follows:

3 1/2 in side at  3/4 , 1 1/8 turn and score the same measurements on the other side.

Easy right? Punch out your Bunny and you got yourself a super cute and Easy Treat for anyone!
