Bunny Sacks

Just a picture of some cute bunny bags that I made for some friends and relatives for Easter, using Taylored Expressions's Sack-it Dies (with Bunny add on). Easy to make - just lots of gluing!

Mostly Memory Box

Poppy Stamp's challenge for this month is to create a clean and simple card that is easy to duplicate... which this card works for... with the exception that I made it without anything from Poppy Stamps. But, I'm going to post it anyway, because there are a number of awesome Memory Box dies (sister company to Poppy Stamps) used on it, and I was happy with how it turned out.



Materials: 
Paper: Neenah Solar white, Kraft, misc. Bazzill cardstock, silver foil pepper, Memory Box notecard
Stamps/Inks: Distress Ink - Tea Dye
Cutting/Embossing: Altenew sentimet die, Memory Box -Woven Basket and Sweet Bunny, Martha Stewart Grass punch
Misc.: Pebbles Shimmers Chalks, Pink Glow in the Dark Nuvo Drops

Speed Cardmaking

More Olympics...love My Favorite Things products, and they come up with some innovative challenges. And this is my kind of challenge, because chasing kids leaves me very little time to craft... every card is a speed challenge! Here's the link to check out the challenge. Cards have to be created using MFT products (with the exception of ink and plain cardstock) and created, start to finish, in under 20 minutes.

Here's mine. It took me 18:58 minutes to finish it. I would have been faster, but the sentiment inside slowed me down - I stamped it too high, so it showed through the window - so quick had to tear it off and start over.



Here's the inside...




Materials:
Paper: Memory Box notecard, Neenah - Solar white
Stamps/Inks: MFT - Black Licorice, Versamark, MFT - Snow Globe Sentiments, Ski-sons Greetings
