Happy Easter!

Project

I've been waiting months to finally get a chance to make these calendars for my friends!  I love the look of this calendar and thought it would be perfect on a 3.5x5 magnet picture frame.  You can print them yourself here ~ there is still lots of months left......and what a great idea to "jazz" up your fridge!

Bike

Another milestone scrapped!  Love the new My Mind's Eye ~ My Girl line.  The papers were perfect to capture my daughter learning to ride without training wheels.  These papers will also work well to showcase her new bike that she just got!!

B-day Layout

The newest birthday papers by Bo Bunny ~ Surprise! Line are perfect bright colors for masculine layouts.  Here I made a layout highlighting my son's birthday party.

Easter Treats

I made up a bunch of these Easter Baskets to give out to my friends this Easter (March 31st!)
It's easy to make a "basket" out of many of the QuicKutz dies. Just cut out a box shape die, add a decorative handle and then embellish as desired.  Here I took the Berry Container and made it up to suit my needs!  It holds lots of goodies my friends will appreciate!!

Genius Platform

Check out the video to see the Genius Platform in action here through all the machines on the market!An easy-to-use magnetic platform designed to make die cutting and embossing easier in leading craft tools.  Definitely a tool worth investing in!!

Easter

Easter is early this year ~ March 31st.  Echo Park Paper was one out of 2 manufactures that introduced an Easter Line this year ~ Happy Easter.  Adding some dies with the embellishment sticker sheet made it a snap in creating this layout.

Tip with Genius Platform

Love the new Genius Platform!  It works awesome ~ it's a must for all die cut machines! Here's a cutting guide:

March QuicKutz Club

March Club Kits are ready for pick-up!!

This month's project, I made a "basket" using the Treat Carrier die cut.  Instead of cutting to make the double holder, I just cut for one side to create the "basket". Love how it turned out!!

Die of the Month:

This die is great to add a little extra to projects!  You can use it to layer or individually.  I took this die and used the "negative" cut on a strip of paper and then added some color flowers around the cut.  Try this technique for something different ~ it looks super cute!

St. Patrick's Day Treats

Love the new mini Martha Stewart Score board.  I designed this pocket die cut on my Cameo and then used the score board to score where I wanted to fold on the die.  Added chocolates inside the pocket I created, added some St. Patrick's Day paper and embellishments to the outside and now have some great treats to give to friends!  Actually ran out of chocolates making so many of these treats!!  Love designing new ideas!!

card

My husband needed a pet sympathy card for a co-worker so I grabbed some pet papers and got to work.  It was a snap using the exclusive dog die from QuicKutz Club.

card

Wow I've been bombarded with birthdays the last few weeks, so I'm loving the new doodle tags by Doodlebug Designs which assist with the sentiment for the perfect card!  I also cut the flower die cut from felt ~ try that for a change ~ you'll love the look!!

Treat Jar

Another jar idea ~ this one for a teenage boy who loves his chocolate!  Makes a great gift for those hard to buy for.

St. Patrick's Day

Hard to believe that it's already March!  Next holiday St. Patrick's Day ~ love this day when the little leprechaun leaves a "green" treat for my kids and turns our milk green!

(dies used: Nesting Clover and Parade Font)

Jar

Another birthday in the bag, or in this case a jar!!  I made up this jar to go with a friend's birthday present. She loves her pretzels!
