Here is a sneak peek of my brand new tutorial. It will be available for purchase Monday night February 7th   I will not be on the computer much for the rest of the evening or tomorrow during the day so I am delaying the release until night so I can get it to you in a timely fashion. You are going to love this one.  It is fun and easy and comes with a printable pdf for all card inserts.

 Bunny Pants Box with matching cards Tutorial

I am so excited about this one because of a few reasons.

1. It only uses left over parts from the Ice Cream Parlor kit that were left over after making my One Sheet Wonder cards from my earlier tutorial using the Ice Cream Parlor kit.  So you can get both from the same kit and still have left overs!
2. It can be used for many different occasions, such a Christmas -Santa Pants, Halloween - Scarecrow pants, St. Patrick's Day - Leprechaun Pants - the possibilities are just endless!
3. Even thought it was designed to hold cards it can hold many other items too--candy, candles, gifts, ect.  Again the possibilities are endless!
4. It is still only $2 and that means that everyone can get one.  You won't feel like it is hurting your budget!  More money to spend on supplies.

And last but not least I am going to be giving away 2 copies for FREE!  Leave a comment on this post before Wednesday night 11PM EST and you may be the lucky winner of this or your choice of any of my tutorials for FREE!

AVAILABLE NOW ONLY $2

Yearly Valentine's for the birds!

My son loves birds--any animal actually-- so each year we make a different version of this adorable bird valentine for his class.  This year we are using the Cheap Talk stamp set.  They are just too cute!  Don't you agree.

Here is a pdf of the words only if you are interested in making them yourself.  I change the bird each year.    CLICK HERE TO GET THE PDF FILE    this file prints onto either regular card stock/paper or Avery Business cards 8371.  Hope you enjoy! 

Have a great day!

New tutorial reject, lol! Punch Art Bunny.

I have been working on a new tutorial using the left over parts of the Ice Cream parlor kit from my Punch Bunch One Sheet Wonder Tutorial and this was one of the reject cards, lol! Thought I would post it anyway. Decided not to do a punch art card as it adds to the amount of product needed to do the tutorial so I changed it to one using only the kit and one stamp set. Hope to have it up by Monday! But for now enjoy this. If you can, I don't really like it. The flower scallop and the eyes look like Groucho Marx to me.  Which is another reason it did not make the tutorial, lol!

 

 

Punches used to create bunny.  The feet are the new small oval that I do not know the name of.  I used my scissors to cut the toes.  The body is a 2 1/2 circle I cut with my circle scissors.  The head is a scallop sticker from the kit (which I would not use normally just a normal scallop circle would look better IMHO) behind that is a 1 3/4 inch circle.  The ears are the small and large ovals, the eyes are the 1/2 inch circle punch, the Itty Bitty Shapes circle punch and rhinestones.  The mouth is from bottom to top 1/2 inch circle, wide heart from Heart to Heart and small heart from Heart to Heart punch.  The whiskers are just a 2 by 1/2 inch piece of Basic Black that is cut on each end without cutting the middle and then attached to the back of the nose mouth piece.  I would love to see what you come up with for this.  Since I really don't like mine!  Have fun.

Have a great day!
