Tulips.....gotta' love the Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch!

The Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch is the best punch ever!  Not only can you make cute birdies on branches, you take those bird wings and make tulips with them.  How clever is that?  I don't know who thought it up, but thank you very much.

I went to a demo meeting last week and one of the projects we did was using that wonderful bird punch to make tulips.  The card was Cherie Zuniga's project.  Oh so cute and quick too!  That's because Cherie had punched all the wings out and sponged all the edges and put our tulips together!  LOL.  Thanks Cherie!

Here's the card:

The border was done with the Eyelet Border Punch.  I didn't do a very good job on the corner, but I would still send the card to someone. 

If you need more information on how to make the card, just ask.

Eggscellent Egg Kit Card

First off, I'm so sorry that the last post duplicated itself.  Don't have a clue what happen but I apologize for the mess.

Here's a card that we made in class.

How fun are the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt Flowers?  They are great to use.  I'm also in love with the Sending Love Notes - Hugs.  It's the small scalloped card stock that is used on the card.

You can make the egg stands do double duty.  I used the Pretty In Pink egg stand on the bottom of the card and a piece from the Shades of Spring DSP.

Whimsical Words is the stamp set used.  I'm going miss this style of writing.

Hope you enjoy this card.  Thanks for stopping by. 

Eggscellent Egg Kit

I did an Eggscellent Egg Kit class a couple of weeks ago and each participant made 5 different projects and got to keep the left-overs from the Kit.  I gotta' tell you, I LOVE this kit!  The bling that is included is while I love this kit so much!

Here's one of the projects included in class.

I found plastic eggs and used a bunch of the flowers to decorate this one.  I made sure to leave the opening free so you could put whatever inside without tearing up the flowers.  

The flowers were attached with Mini Glue Dots.  The bling that comes with this kit has several different sizes and also strips of rhinestones that are self-adhesive.  I am a miser with them,  I cut a strip so the rhinestones can be used separately and have yet to use the larger ones.  I know, it's so sad when you want to hoard your stash.

In the next couple of days, I'll share one of the cards we made.
