Dream Theme Blog Hop - Easter



Both my desktop and laptop computers went on the fritz within a week of each other. I just got them back from the repair shop just in the nick of time! It's Dream Theme Blog Hop time.

Welcome from Amy's blog!




Today we are sharing Easter creations! I have a card that involves a bit of fussy cutting using the SAB Avant-Garden stamp set and the beautiful Blooms & Bliss DSP. The piece of DSP I used reminds me so much of the cherry blossoms that fill many of our streets here in Victoria. Just this last Monday I noticed that a few of the streets were beginning to show that wonderful sign of Spring! I decided to create an A7 sized card this time (5 x 7) so that I could get a lot of lowers on the card.


It was an after thought to add the "Happy Easter" border which explains why it is upside down. I would have spaced everything better had I done is before adding the flowers. At least to me it looks upside down. In the photo below, you can see all the flowers and leaves I fussy cut after stamping, and arranged on the card. I decided that I did not want a monochromatic card and included yellow and blue flowers to the colour scheme. Colours associated with Spring colours.


In the side view below, you can see that I popped up the matted white rectangle as well as some of the flowers and the "Happy Easter" banner.


On the inside, I added my usual corner stamping. Since it is a larger card, there is plenty of space for it.


The next blog post to see is that of the very talented Jennifer!

This is a great Sampler for any fill in month with no theme, or just to have around and make you, or a special friend, feel better. For this class you will have your choice of DSP from the "Blooms and Bliss" collection, so when you register for this class, be sure to give me the number from the sample photo. Stamping, paper piecing, and just a touch of watercolour pencil will be a part of this class.

You can bring your 12 x 12 frame if you wish to see it in there at the end of class.

REMEMBER to let me know your choice of background DSP so that I can coordinate everything for your class kit.

Happy Stamping!

Get Well Package - Thinking of You



I made this a while ago, in the hopes of getting my second on completed to show them together. The second one is a Christmas Gift Package, but I didn't quite get it done in time, so I'm just showing you this one.

This is the time of year when people begin to get sniffles, colds, and coughs, so I thought it might be fun to create a Get Well Package using the Stampin' Up! Wide Half Stamp Container (page 183 in the Annual Catalogue). The lovely patterns and colours of the Blooms & Bliss DSP are being used on this one.


Upon opening this package/container, you see
  • a small Dollar Store pen
  • a covered mini-composition note book with a whole year mini-calendar attached to the front
  • Halls cough drops covered in DSP
  • chapstick/lipbalm
  • and a tissue holder (instructions)

As you can see in the next photo, I attached everything inside using Velcro. I did not have any white, which I would have chosen if I did. A tip for those of you wanting to create your own, don't use as large pieces of Velcro as I did. Some of the items are a little harder to get out (like tissue box).

I also left space over the cough drops so that the pen wouldn't keep the box from closing.


Now I see that I forgot to add something. I had though of attaching a tea bag in a self made envelope attached to the left side of the case so that it would fold over the note book. Maybe I will still do that for the Christmas Gift Case.


Happy gift making!
