Another Easter Treat

It's Easter and look what the Easter Bunny brought: a cute treat from Gail W. The basket is stamped, cut out and embossed using the SU Square Lattice Embossing Folder. The basket stamp is from DiNami Stamps. The stamped egg image is from SU and is popped with dimensionals. Darn, it doesn't show but Gail used Sakura Crystal Pen for that glittery look on the egg dot shape and bunny. The basket is adhered on top of a clear acetate 3" x 3" box (also from DiNami) filled with Easter grass and chocolate eggs!!!! Thank you, Gail for this cute cute cute surprise!!!

Here's the back of the acetate box:

So everyone had a great Easter Sunday, right? And a happy crafty week to everyone!

DiNami Chickee Card

A real card!!! This is my first Di Nami Designs N122 stamp set given to me by my friend, Gail a while back. See their site here for this cute set. I converted this wood mount stamp set to be cling and separated the message which is stamped inside. Di Nami Design is starting to produce their stamps in cling mount while most of their designs are wood mount. The SU Pumpkin Pie CS worked well as the base card and retired SU DSP from 2008 6x6 SAB paper pack was perfect for this occasion. The decorative punch is Martha Stewart Raindrop edge punch. Martha's Grass edge punch also used along with SU's Decorative Label punch on each side of the chickees (slip the strip of stamped images into the back to get the cool edges on each side).

Added Stardust Stickles to the chickees was the finishing touch to the front!!! Copic colors used: YR04, R81, YR31, R30

Card inside: Using the left over scrap for the bottom inside edge, stamp the message, add the grass, add Stardust Stickles and you are done!!!!
Here's a better look at the chickee with Stardust Stickles:
That's it for today - have yourself a crafty day!!!!
