Easter Bunny Encircled in Nature wreath card

 Man, have I been having fun this week playing with some new Online Exclusives products releasing to customers in my online store on March 5.  Be sure to check back then and click the shopping cart to see what's been added to the Online Exclusives section.  

For this card I wanted to show the versatility of the dies for most any occasion.  In this case, Easter, or you could use for Spring by leaving the Easter eggs out.  I started by die cutting the floral images out of Basic White cardstock.  I then water colored them and set them aside to dry before moving on to stamping and coloring my bunny and eggs.   If you would like to watch the video replay, you can rewatch on Facebook here as I'm unable to download my video and upload to YouTube.  So sorry for the inconvenience! FB video replay here:

Watercolor Melon two-piece gift box for gum

Today's project is a 3D project.  When I first saw the Watercolor Melon stamp set, I knew I needed to make some sort of watermelon flavored treat box.  So I went down to the local convenience store to see what I could find that was watermelon flavored and would fit the stamp sizes I had.  This is what I found that was relatively inexpensive.  Of course, I could have used some smaller candies, but that wasn't the size I was looking for.  I hope you like the gift box.  My granddaughter can't wait to get one of them.  To see how I put my box together, be sure to watch the video replay over on YouTube.

Fun Fold Angle Cut Card with Detailed Dogwood & watercolor pencils

I have a new fun fold for you today, at least new to me.  I saw Ange McKay make a fun fold very similar to this yesterday, and had to try it.  Her card was a tri-fold card and I didn't want to use a whole sheet of cardstock, so I altered it for a bi-fold card that you can make two card bases from one sheet of cardstock. When I made my original sample, I colored my focal image with Stampin' Blends markers.  I was then inspired by Linda Dalke to try my hand at some water coloring with the watercolor pencils.  I've forgotten how much I love using them.   So for this card, I've colored my image with the watercolor pencils.  To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the video replay on YouTube.
