Fancy Favor Punch Art Bunny Box

Hello Stampers! Today's project is one that my Online Cards & Projects Club members and my local club members will be doing this month. It features the Fancy Favor Die for the Big Shot. If you are in the Online Club, you will receive the box with DSP already attached and die cut for you. You'll also receive all of the punched pieces to make the Punch Art Bunny and everything else seen on this project. Isn't it cute?

The DSP is from Shades of Spring DSP pack, which comes in soft, spring shades. I chose to use the pinks & yellows for this project, but it also has pastel green & purple, too. 

Pink round rhinestone brads hold the handle on and add a touch of bling.

The Chocolate chip satin ribbon dresses up Mr Bunny for the Easter (or Spring) parade.

Here is a video on how this box was made:

Punch Art Easter Bunny Card

Hi Stampers! Gosh, I'm late posting today! I usually try to have my post up by 7am EST. This move is taking up all of my paper crafting time! LOL!

Both my Local and Online Cards & Projects Club members will make this bunny and an adorable Fancy Favor Box to put him on this month. I'll show that project and a video of how to put it together tomorrow, but today I have a video of how to make Mr Bunny:

Faux Suede Technique With All My Heart

Hi there! I feel like I've been lost in the stamping Bermuda Triangle, with so much going on in my life & no time to stamp or shoot videos. Well... I'm back! Woo hoo! I finally had some time alone in the house today to create some new projects and shoot a couple of videos, and man, was it fun! 

Today's card features the Faux Suede Technique on the flowers. To see a video of how it was made, click below:

Simple, huh? It is so fun to do, & I can't wait for my Online Cards & Projects Club, Scrapper's Express Club, and my In Town club gals to try it!

Aside from the suede flowers, the star of the show on this project is the Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is so glittery & gorgeous! It comes with 6 different patterns on 12 double sided pages. I used 3 designs on this card.

The glittery flower gets even more sparkle from a clear rhinestone brad. So glam!

The thank you sentiment from With All My Heart stamp set matches the art style of the DSP perfectly. In fact, the stamp set was designed to go with the paper!

• 118623 With All My Heart clear mount stamp set (118134 wood)
