Easter Parade

My Club meets tonight, and I was tinkering with the projects for the month last night, as well as a little door prize and fun sample to show them from my Sale-A-Bration set. I came up with these fun things. Since I know the girls peek at the blog before club, I will post the club cards tomorrow!


The Bunny Box uses the Matchbox Big Shot Die. I used kraft cardstock for the box base, the Sale-A-Bration DS paper as the wrap around top part, and Melon Mambo, Whisper White, and Pretty in Pink scraps. The stamp is from our Eight Great Greeting stamp set which I just love!!

I also embellished the box with a kraft cordury button and a piece of Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon. Four Hersheys Nuggets fit perfectly inside the box but they have been embellished with strips of the Welcome Neighbor Sale-A-Bration DS paper. You need a 3"x1" strip per nugget and it just dresses them up nicely. You could make a bunch of these for party favors for a bridal or baby shower very quickly!


The card is made using my new clear mounted SAB Stamp set Happy Moments.I really enjoy stamping using clear stamps. When I added the flowers I did it after I placed my main image on the card, so the clear blocks let me stamp without messing up my existing card. I wanted to try a simple 1 main layer card with just stamps and ink for embellishment. I think it turned out quite well! I did try a little paper piecing technique with the middle present. The other two presents were colored in with Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay markers.

Sale-A-Bration Valentine's Day card

Here is a card using materials from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Sale-A-Bration runs only from Jan until the end of March.

I used Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, and Whisper White. For tools I used my Big Shot with Texture Plates, and my Heart punch. I used 3 stamps sets for this. Teeny Tiny Wishes gave me my little saying, the Love You Much gave me my trio of hearts, and my Good neighbor gave me my wonderful little Houses. I just love my Welcome Neighbor Designer Series Paper! I need to get more!

If you don't have a Big Shot, and would like to order one, purchasing one of my Big Shot kits will let you earn 4 free Stamp sets. I can't think of a better time to buy than now!
