yay!
now it's time to show you what I made - a bouquet of candy roses!

these are actually pretty simple treats to create! I used two different sized lollipops to create the two different sized roses (blowpops and dumdums!).
I used red tissue paper to wrap around the top of the lollipop, and and dark teal washi tape to wrap around for the stem!

I heat embossed phrases from Heartfelt Love and Heartfelt Roses. then I die cut out the phrases with the Banner Trio Die Set!
I also die cut out some hearts with white crepe paper and papers from the new Love & Meows paper pad using the Heart Frames Die Set.

I finished by punching a hole into the phrases and hearts and attaching them around the stems of the roses, like tags!

we used the new Large Die of the Month - Basket of Bunnies!
it is so cute and so fun to work with!
I made a 3D Gift Bag/Basket and a card!

the bunnies were die cut with some white flock that I adhered with the Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo, so they're extra fuzzy!
and I used a bunch of the leaves that I ink blended with Distress Inks (Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Squeezed Lemonade), foil and polka-dotted washi! 
I love the dimension of the bouquet that little bunny is bring to his parent bunny! lol! so sweet!

the basket was super fun to make! 
again, I used lot sod the foiled leaves, polka dotted-washi tape leaves and ink blended leaves! plus a few flowers for a pop of bright color!

I love that basket and the bright colors!
The basket was distress ink blended with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, and then I added the little sentiment strip from Lawn Fawn's Easter Party stamp set!
the leaves were foiled with some Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo and Spring Green and Shattered Glass Gold foil!

yahooo! it's time for a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

Lawn Fawn has SO MANY dies and options available, but for my project, I created a gift bag out of an envelope using this tutorial here!

that ADORABLE image is from Winter Alpaca - LOOOOOOVE it! he's so sweet! I stamped everything in Narwhal Ink and then added some grey shading, too!

oh, i really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!

hey cupcake

just a quick post here. 
(tmi alert: things took a turn towards the worst with my grandpa - so i may be quiet on the blog for a while)

since i haven't been in the mood to get crafty (my mind has been elsewhere), i've been feeling low. so i decided to make myself get crafty, forcing myself to get happy. :) 
i decided to play along with a brand new challenge site on the block - pinspired! it's all abut taking inspiration from things found on pinterest and getting crafty! love!

here's the very first challenge: 

so that was easy, right? i took the cake-yness and the birthday-yness from the photo and made this little gift box:

for the most part i used things at my desk. and odd note - i made this whole thing standing up! lol! i usually sit down at my desk, but i made while my littlest mann was sitting at my desk 'hard at work', read: banging on the computer keyboad. lol! 

i used stamps from the alley way stamps: cover-ups and hey cupcake. the little cherry and the heart are all popped up, and i even added a little sparkle to the heart - it needed it!  i used some washi tape on the sentiment and added some ribbon with flairs out, but it also goes around the whole box.

inside are some hershey kisses and m&m's. just a little treat! the box was made using a template i found on...you guessed it!! pinterest!

so that's it!
have a good weekend! and get inky for the new challenge site too!
enjoy!
