Pyramid card Tutorial

Santa Pyramid Cards

I was inspired by NWilliams6's Santa Candy Holders that she made over on Splitcoast Stampers!  They are adorable!  I am making some to take to a Holiday Shopping Sale tomorrow.  Since I love Pyramid cards- I decided to make it into a Pyramid Santa!

Check NWilliams gallery here-

Here are a few more shots of my Punch art work -

The beard is SU's ornament punch, the moustache is from SU's Bird punch-It was really easy to put Santa's face together!

Santa's hat is Spellbinder's Paisley Nestabilities!  That is also the die I used to make Santa's toy bag.

It should be a fun day tomorrow with everyone shopping for Christmas!  It is hard to believe that Christmas is not that far away! 

UPDATE:  Check out Sharon's blog for instructions on  how to make the "Pyramid" of the Pyramid card. I do use a  3 - 4 inch squares to make my Pyramid- and of course, no ribbon.

Wicked easy!

Easter Baskets with a New look!

I made this style of basket for my Easter baskets.  But they make great baskets for other occasions as well.  Take a look at the baskets I made for Christmas & Halloween!  The directions for these basket can be found on Stamp TV!

 I  used Spellbinder's beautiful Poinsetta die.  I just got this die and I really love it!  The ends of the basket have the JustRite stamps used with the Spellbinders die cut.  The center is a stamp I got from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. I used Distress Ink to give it and aged look.  I made the handle using one of Martha Stewart's punches.

Same basket- different look!  I used JustRite stamps again for the side sentiment.  The bat is a Sizzix die.  Again, the handle is from an Edger punch from Martha Stewart.   I picked up the beading at a recent sale.  This style of basket is sooo easy and fun to make.  Now, I all have to do is add goodies!

One Stop Holiday Shopping!

My sisters and I are participating in our friend, Cindy's One Stop Holiday Shopping  on October 23rd!  We will be there along with others that will be displaying their items for sale.  It is at Cindy's house in Berwick, Maine!  I think it should be fun!  I have been working on some Halloween boxes that are shown below.  But we are working on Christmas and Thanksgiving as well! 

Halloween Witch tutorial

I had fun making this tutorial for my Halloween Witch! I made a couple of boo boos though- One the die I used to make my two handle boxes is by Sizzix. The second boo boo was the ink I used to "age" my Witch boxes and the Witch's hat is not Gray ink but Silver ink. Lastly, it's not a butterfly punch used for the nose ...but a Dragonfly !! Let me know if you have any questions!




Here are a few more pictures of the finished boxes!
