Easter Egg Treat Holder

| marialrussell

This treat holder is so cute, you can basically create this for any occasion.  I love the new Scallop Tag Topper Punch but if you don’t have the punches that I have on this video, please use what you have.  This is just an example and you can use other punches to create a decorative edge to your card stock.  I have used my decorative label punch, scallop punch and even my blossom punch.  You just need to insert the edge of your card stock to your punch, line it up slowly to make sure the card stock is in the middle of the image, then punch! Easy, peasy!

Materials used:

Blushing Bride Card stock (Item No. 131198)
Cut at 2 inches by 11 inches (base)
Cut at 3 ½ by 3 ½ (middle piece that will hold the egg securely)

French Maid Minion Card – A Blooms and Butterflies Color Challenge No. 22

Video | | marialrussell

The Blooms & Butterflies Team was given a task to create a card using the colors Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and Daffodil Delight. It is indeed very challenging. I have made a Minion Card before and it is my most pinned creation on Pinterest. I thought the color combination will be perfect to create a French Maid Minion Card. So here it is.  I have made some adjustments to the card.  I noticed on the photo that the glue dots were showing a little bit so I managed to tuck it in, and also fixed the Minion’s hair so it doesn’t show.

Halloween Card – Flying Witch

Video | | marialrussell

This card was inspired by a fellow demonstrator, Tami White. Although our cards are done differently, the design is the same. I thought of sharing this because the card is so easy to make – plus it is very unique in a way because this is not the typical orange and black Halloween colors. I really love this card and I hope you do as well.

Spooky Halloween Easel Card

Video | | marialrussell

I wanted to make a card that does not involve using a Big Shot. Since I still don’t have a Big Shot (not getting it until this Christmas), I thought of making this card by just using a punch and vellum to create a “window”. It turned out really cute! This card is so unique that the person you give it to will absolutely be thrilled! I gave it to a friend and she was so pleased that she wanted me to film a video tutorial so she can make a couple for her son’s teachers, and use it to decorate her table. I found my LED tea light from the Dollar store. You can get two pieces for a dollar and this card will be a great gift and pretty inexpensive. You can make these for any occasion just by changing the image, the color of the card stock and the sentiment.

Materials used:

(All measurements in “Inches”)

Card Base:

Basic Black Cardstock – Item No. 121045
(Size used here on this video is: 5 ½ x 4 1/4)
