I created this card for a card swap. The image is by TAC, Bazzill & DCWV cardstocks, easter egg embossed paper... I can't recall who the manufacturer is. I also added stickles to the flowers, Prima Flower, & a MM mini brad. I've had that embossed paper FOREVER! It's always a great feeling to finally use something you've been hoarding :)
Hi All... just wanted to share this link. Sorry I thought I already did but that was on my TAC blog. Anyway... I never did get around to creating my own template for the treat box I shared a few posts down. Vicky created a terrific tutorial that she shared at Splitcoast Stampers...

My box is pretty similar except I used a larger sheet of cardstock... 8x8 and adjusted the patterned paper pieces accordingly. The handle was created using a strip of cardstock measuring 1.5 in.x 12 in. and was attached using two two regular sized brads. You could use mini brads if the contents of your box is very light weight but I prefer the standard sized ones. HTH!
I hope you all are having a blessed day. We're all fighting the flu & nasty colds here but we have a lot to celebrate that's for sure :)
I wanted to create a little basket for DS that was Springy but not overly cute for my "Macho" son so this is what I came up with. I used my paper crimper to create the "grass," a CuttleBug tag, and Tag Tid bits for the sentiment. I'm working on a template but probably won't get it posted until Sat. at the earliest. This will be something new I don't think I've ever created a template before!
My new fave thing?... polka dots. This sheet of patterned paper is from the Gentle Beginnings paper pack by The Angel Company. I just wish there were more than one sheet of each color in each paper pack. I also love Turquoise and Lavender together, you'll probably be seeing more of this color combo.
I'll be adding this card & a few similar to it to my Etsy Store Wednesday.
Thanks for looking!
