March Paper Pumpkin Alternates

My March Paper Pumpkin alternates are done and the videos are loaded.  You can see them on my Facebook page in the albums or on my YouTube channel.  This kit came with an extra stamp set.  They normally do that in March as a "birthday" celebration for when Paper Pumpkin started.  The cards were a nice variety with thank you and Mother's Day sentiments,  I don't know that we've had hummingbirds before, that was a nice touch.  My alternates are below and the links to the videos are here.....Facebook Album, YouTube playlist.

Fancy, yet oh so easy!!

I love when a card turns out so pretty, but is so easy to make.  You'll wow the recipient with this one for sure.  It is a great use for your shaped dies and patterned papers.  The possibilities are never ending when you dig into that paper stash!  C'mon, I know you have way more than you'll ever use!  Get it out and use it up.  I hope you give this card a try.  You can see the instructional video on my YouTube channel, here.

Christmas Basket? Say What!!??

In my weekly live I showed how to use the Easter Basket bundle for a Christmas themed card.  It was the 25th so that meant it was time for a Christmas card so I cased one of my March class cards and made it a Christmas basket.  I think this would also be so adorable if you filled the basket with items to look like a gift basket.  You could do mugs for a coffee idea or cookies and baking stuff too.  The basket could be made without the handle for a different looking basket.  So many possibilities!  I hope you give it a try.  You can see the how to video on YouTube, here.

Here is the class card I used as my design idea.

Crop Day cards

I went to a fundraiser crop last weekend!  I love getting away with my friends and crafting.  I had an order for 10 flower cards from a friend that owns a flower farm.  She gave me a saying to use that I printed from my computer and die cut.  Those cards are pretty much what I did all day.  I cut a bunch more of those Easter baskets but didn't assemble them.  Here are a few of the cards I created.  I used the Meadow Dies from a couple of years ago.  There are such good dies in there.

Cute Easter card with a fun technique

This card is so simple to make and you'll love the technique that makes the plaid in the background.  It is super easy and you can make it look so many different ways and even add more colors!  You can see the technique and card instructions on my YouTube channel.

Treat Basket

Well here it is, finally!  This is last weeks' live project.  I created this darling little treat basket.  I think it would be perfect for party favors and place settings.  Think of having them sitting around at a baby shower or marking table places at your Easter dinner.  I think there are so many uses for this cutie.  Change the paper and add flowers for a Mother's Day idea.  There are so many places you could use this.  It is part of the Easter Basket bundle but you could just get the dies and have all you need for the basket.  You can see the YouTube video here.

February Card Class

I had my February card classes over the last few days so I thought I'd post the rest of the cards here.  We used the Brushed With Beauty suite to create the designs this month.  The last photo was one where they created the paper with the stamps.  They were pretty excited to be able to do that and not have actual patterned paper for this one.  Creating your own designs is always fun to see because everyone has something different.  The inside panels also have the stamping on them so the card is pretty stunning to see it finished.  The class was four cards but I showed the other two during my Wednesday lives, so you can see those in a couple of posts over the past few weeks.
