Bleach Technique Flower Style

At a stamp class awhile back I learned what is now one of my favorite techniques - bleach!  Just pour a bit on a paper towel as your stamp pad and you'll get some amazing unique images. The dragonfly and saying are rub-ons and went on like magic.

This one was made with the same technique but I used soft pink marker to color in the cherry blossoms and 3-D butterfly sticker from Michael's.

Easter Bunny Treats

I made these cute little bunnies for the gals I work with for Easter.  I found the punch art instructions on a blog google search.  I wish I could remember the site it was wonderful.

I used Stampin Up circle & oval punch, wiggle eyes, paper candy bags from Target and my Cricut for the names.  If you use paper on your Cricut with a sticky back makes the process go by a lot faster.  And on the back for a special touch a pom-pom for a tail.

Caught A Bug!

Every year at school we celebrate spirit week.  Usually it's something silly like pj day ect... This particular day was wear crazy shoes.  Well knowing I was going to be working on my feet all day I wear tennis shoes.  I needed a way to hide them but make it fun for the kids.  So I did the Grouchy Ladybug and The Very Hungry Caterpillar from Eric Carle books.  I wrapped felt around my foot, glued wiggle eyes, and colorful pipe cleaners and instant bug shoes!

I found some photos left over from December.  I work at a school and were always looking for projects to turn into gifts for parents.  I remember when I was little this project and I had some left over tile and wala instant coffee holder/ hotplate!  All you need is - 1 kitchen tile, finger paint, glitter paint pen, and sticky foam for the back of the tile (sold at most Michael's stores)  This was quick and easy and the kids had fun making them.

Oldies but goodies!

Two different versions of a using a Stamping Up bee rolling wheel stamp with old Close To My Heart bee keeper image.  I love to merge stamped images to come up with new cards.  Chalk was used on both of these cards to give a more softer feel to them.

Cupcake Birthday

Using the same design idea as I did for my Valentine cards.  I found these cute little fabric cupcake stickers at Michael's and beautiful pearl beads that already have the adhesive on the back.  I also used Stampin Up rub-on for the make a wish sentiment and my cuttlebug embossing machine for a textured background.

Work Valentine's

Here's a little Valentine I shared with the gals in the office.  Just a little something to bring a smile :)

Valentine's Day Card Idea Continued

Using the Cricut we cut out patterned envelopes and tags to match along with candy attached.  Also on the front we cut out a dainty borders and stamped Happy Valentine's Day. 

Valentine's Day!

Remeber those days when you recieved the list of your fellow classmates names and couldn't wait to go home and make special cards for them?  Well it's that time of year again and it's my turn to help my daughters carry on the fun tradition. :)  Below we created Valentine butterflies we found from a wonderful website.  Used the Cricut to cut out little flowers and hearts, also we used Valentine pencils instead of suckers for their bodies.  I love how they sparkle!

Christmas cards I made this year - Christmas tree made out of the Stampin Up scallop punch. (as seen on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts, she has a wonderful site and walkthrough videos are great!) Also a penguin card I made with stickers and my new cute Sizzix texture Boutique machine. (So cute in the shape of a purse!!! :)

Click on pics for a closer look, its hard to see but I used the Sizzix to get the snowflake texture and swirls.  The penguin is a 3-D sticker.

And last but not least a few cards I made last year with my Cricut.
