Easter Gift Set

Easter is what it's all about over at HSS...

Here is my entry for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Design Team. I was asked to create a gift set. It's a really simple project with...what else....chocolate! Gotta have some chocolate in a cute little Easter basket, plus a little bunny notepad holder for your desk. I got the template for the notepad holder from my friend and fellow demonstrator Sandy Hancock.

I used some of our retired designer paper from last year. I just love the springy colors!! The stamp set for the bunny is Forest Friends and the Easter is Something to Celebrate from the Occasions Mini.

Here is a close up of the basket. I used the Scallop Envelope Die cut and my Big Shot! Plus...check out the butterflies on the candies. Lovin' me those butterflies again!!

Here is a close up of the candy bar. I used the Daisy Die #2 and just layered and curled them up with an ink pen.

May God bless you this Easter season!! HE IS RISEN....HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!

Happy Stamping,

The Runner Up

The challenge this week over at Hand Stamped Sentiments was to do a project using all shades of Pink! I started with this project:

Here is a side view to see the dimension:

I just wasn't "in love" with it, but it is fanciful! Can you tell that I am really into butterflies right now. It's so easy when you use the Butterfly "Beautiful Wings Embosslit" from Stampin' Up!

Happy Stamping,

In Honor of Elizabeth Taylor...

I entered the challenge for the blog called Hand Stamped Sentiments. In April I will be joining their design team and I am very excited! The challenge was to create something with flowers. The stamps I used are also FREE when you spend $50 on your order before March 31st. Here is what I came up with:

I decided to do a card with a very vintage look in honor of Elizabeth Taylor's passing...it's got rhinestone sparkle and a sleek look with a beautiful flourish.

You'll notice in this view that the flowers are curled up a little to create a 3 Dimensional look.

Ingredients: Basic Gray, Basic Black and Very Vanilla Cardstock, Basic Gray ink, Birds and Blooms Sizzlit, Elizabeth and Three Little Words stamps, Rhinestones, Scallop punch, sponges

Happy Stamping!

Punch Bunch Owl and Scrap Cards

There are only about 2 weeks left to earn FREE products from the Sale-a-bration promotion. Here is a card and a notepad holder that I made using the Punch Bunch stamp set. Lovin' the Real Red Glimmer Paper, too!!
Then I got really ambitious...I wanted to use up some of my scraps and things that I had either punched out or started to work on and never finished. I used the Punch Bunch Stamp Set and the Oval All stamp set to make most of these cards. I love the way they turned out!!!

Here are a few cards that I made with my scraps that I have recently sent out.




This one is for a friend that is having her first baby...a boy...due any day now! :) Can't wait to meet her little guy!


Don't forget that I am donating 20% of all sales this week to the American Red Cross to help with the efforts in Japan. To place your order you can email or call me or you can order directly through my website at www.kristajstamps.stampinup.net
