Blooming Marvellous, The Craft Spa, SAB 2013, Stampin Up, SU   (6)

Less than 30 hours now until the end of Sale A Bration...... And some more projects to share using another of the free SAB stamps .... the gorgeous Blooming Marvellous stamp set this time... Lovely words and beautiful images from nature.... you can tell that this was my firm favourite of the sets to start off with… lots of projects on this post!!!!

The first card is one I have done before.. which is inspired by a card created at our Quarterly Jems training last October – the original creation being by fellow and very talented team member Sally Jo Houghton. Still loving it Sally Jo!!!

The first of the next 3 is a case of a card by Mary Fish of Stampin Pretty  and then the further inspirations just followed….

Easter Bunny Fancy Favour Box with a How To Pictorial

Amanda Bates, The Craft Spa, Easter Bunny, SU Fancy Favour Box,  (3)

Following on from the Easter Chick posted yesterday…. here comes the Easter Bunny!!!

Quite a  bit more punching to do to make this one (wasn’t there Karen!!!) but so so worth it!!

And for you girls local to me… these are 2 of the projects  we are making in classes this week… a couple of spaces left on Monday night and Tuesday morning if you can make it…..

As in my “ever-so-popular-at-the-moment” post of the Top Note  Easter Bunny last year… again I couldn’t resist adding the goofy teeth…. but he has a little pink tounge too this year – care of the Little Labels punch pack ( which has just had its first outing!!) Actually having just searched my blog for this post I obviously have a thing about doing Easter bunnies with goofy teeth!!

And another pictorial for you….

Easter Chick Fancy Favour Box with How To Pictorial

The Craft Spa, Amanda Bates, Easter Chick, SU Fancy Favour Box,  (5)

OK I have a new Stampin. Up! die love…. the Fancy Favour box…. so I already have quite a few finished projects… and a very very long list of projects I would like to do!! When I find a spare minute!

So my first  share is one for Easter… he makes rather a cute chick don’t you think……?

I was totally inspired by the Angry Bird boxes that I first saw on Julie’s blog here…. but whilst in my hand… the Blossom punch was just itching to make feathers and feet… and so my little chick was born!!! He is really easy to make so a great project when you are rushed for time!

Come back tomorrow for another one made especially for Easter……

And here is a Pictorial on the punches to use etc….
