Easter Bunny Punch Art Belly Bands

Happy Easter, Christ is Risen! I pray, today, is a wonderful Easter for you celebrate the true meaning of Easter, as well as, spend it with your loved ones. I have not been the happiest camper because we had to cancel our family get together. I decided to come down with some kind of bug early in the morning yesterday and my husband also about 12 hours later. To try to not pass it on, we chose to cancel. Of course, I feel better now, but I am not sure how long you can be carrying the germs. Better safe than sorry.
Today, I am sharing with you a couple of bunny belly bands I created for my grandson's Bibles. They were created using punches and a Big Shot. I have a few pictures I am going to show you. The first pictures I took I had forgotten to put the whiskers on the bunnies. I remembered when I looked at the picture where I got my inspiration from to make these, Pinterest, of course, found here.

  The picture above was from before I glued them onto the belly band.

The picture above is when I still had not remembered to add the whiskers. I do believe it made quite a bit of difference.

Above, is the final result. What I think really made these turn out so well, was adding the sponging around the edges of the Baked Brown Sugar Cardstock. It gives it depth. I love using the sponge!

These are all of the Stampin' Up! products you would need to create these cute little guys.
Cardstock: Watercolor Wonder DSP, Marina Mist, Baked Brown Sugar, Garden Green, and Whisper White
Classic Ink: Early Espresso
Tools: Big Shot, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Oval and Circle Framelits, 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Large Oval Punch, Boho Blossom Punch, Owl Builder Punch, 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch, and Stampin' Sponge, Basic Gray Stampin' Write Marker, and Fringe Scissors
Accessories: Subtles Candy Dots

Monkey Bib Card

Welcome everyone! I pray you have been having a wonderful time since I last posted. I am so glad it is beginning to warm up outside. I love hearing the birds tweeting outside when I first wake up in the morning. I believe, spring is finally here.
Today, I am sharing with you a card I made as a sample for someone that is going to make invitations for a baby shower. She wanted them to have a monkey theme. I personally do not own any stamp sets with a monkey in them. I told her the only thing I knew to do was use punches. As you can see by the attached picture, that is what I did. I searched on Pinterest for some ideas of how other people had created their monkeys from punches. I used different ideas off of different ones to come up with mine.

These are the Stampin' Up! supplies you would need to create this card.
Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green, Early Espresso, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Ink: Stampin' Write Marker Early Espresso
Tools: Big Shot, Circles Collection Framelits, 3 1/2" and 1" Circle Punches, Extra-Large Oval Punch, Full Heart Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Owl Builder Punch (circles), and lastly, Little Leaves Sizzlits
Accessories: Neutrals Candy Dots and Early Espresso 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon

To be quite honest with you, I would not have chosen Daffodil Delight for the bib, but the lady showed me the crib set that was going to be purchased and these were the colors used in it.
Thank you for looking and have a great week.

Mickey Mouse Thinlits Circle Birthday Card

Okay, everyone, time has really passed by this time around. Part of the reason, once again, is this basement has been too cold to take the time to even be down here for long to get anything done. Some of the other reason is I am tired a lot of the time and I just want to sit and relax.
Finally, I am sharing a card with the Mickey Mouse theme. My grandson turned 2 years old, sad to say, a few weeks ago. Yes, that is how long I have had this card done. I have another card I made for my husband that was done even a little longer ago than this one. When the weather gets warmer and this basement isn't so cold, I am planning on getting more accomplished. I have a lot of new things to play with, believe me.

 Stampin' Up! supplies needed to create this card:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White
Stamp Set: Sketched Birthday
Ink: Real Red and StazOn Black
Stampin' Markers: Daffodil Delight, Real Red, and Chocolate Chip
Tools: Big Shot, Thinlits Circle Card, Itty Bitty Banners Framelits, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder

Once again, I am sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I hope you will continue to bear with me until we start having more warm weather and this basement isn't unbearable. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Mickey Mouse Hereshey's Nugget Cake

 Hello everyone! I don't know about you, but I am tired of the cold and snow. Part of the reason I have not posted much is because my craft area is in the basement. Even with a heater it still has been very cold. When I do come down to work on a project I don't last very long before I am back upstairs trying to get warmed up, again. Even so, I have still been able to work on some things, just a little at a time.
I don't know if you have ever seen a cake made out of the Hershey's Nuggets before, but I have and wanted to make one for my Grandson's birthday party that is coming up here very soon. As you can see by the picture, he loves Mickey Mouse. He has liked watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for quite some time. You can also tell that he will be turning 2 years old.
This was so worth the effort of making. I actually got my idea from Pinterest. If you do a search in Pinterest, you will find quite a few different ones that can give you some ideas of how to create one. I know someone even has a tutorial. I looked at it, but did not take there advice on what to use to put in the middle of each layer. I can not bring myself to use toilet paper rolls! It grosses me out! I used round plastic containers for the bottom two layers. You could use paper towel or gift wrap rolls for an alternative also. For the top I just used cardstock.

These are the Stampin' Up! products used to create this nugget cake.

Mickey Mouse Banner

There will be a birthday party very soon for a little boy that will be turning two. This little boy, who happens to be my youngest grandson, loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It has been a favorite of his for quite some time.
My daughter has decided that the theme of his 2nd birthday will be Mickey Mouse. I am going to be making some of the decorations for his special day. The first thing I am going to share with you was inspired by a banner that was found on Pinterest. You can view it here. As most of you know already, I do not like to copy someone elses work. I ended up using some ideas from the one on Pinterest, but I made it a lot different in the end.

This took quite a bit of time to make. The reason is because I had to really think how I wanted it to look. There is still one more thing I am going to do to it, but I can't until the end of this month. I am going to add some Pacific Point ribbon to it. I have to purchase it first.
This was created using all Stampin' Up! products, with one exception, the metal rod that has all of the ribbon tied to it.
Cardstock: Whisper White, Old Olive, Basic Black, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Pacific Point
Stamp set: Defining Alphabet (Retired)
My Digital Studio
Tools: 1 1/4 " and 1 3/8" Circle Punches, Small Oval Punch, Big Shot, Squares Collection and Circles Collection Frame Lits, and Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder
Accessories: 1/4" and 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, Basic Black, Whisper White, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, and Daffodil Delight

If you are having a Mickey Mouse party, this may be the inspiration you need to create a banner yourself. I am sure I will be posting other things I create for this party in the near future.
