I am so BAD...here is my challenge card!

I have been so busy with getting ready for Vacation Bible School at Church that I forgot to post my challenge card for the Amuse Challenge Blog.  I did get it posted there but no here...geesh!

Anyway...here is the card I made.  I used the A Muse Stamp Set...Hey, Man!  I also used Onyx Cardstock, Cherry Petite Polka Dot Cardstock, Word Window Dies, Grass Die,  and the Stamp Set Say it with Style.  I colored the lawn mower with Copic Markers.

Hope you enjoy the card!  Sorry it is late on here.  You can always do this as a Masculine Birthday Card which is what I did for my hubby last week.

I love the colors of this card.  I used the bubblegum gingham cardstock, seattle cardstock, sage cardstock and sugar cardstock.  I embellished with a bubblegum button.  The stamp set is Handscripted with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

Another Easter Card..Pinterest Inspired

It has been awhile since I posted.  Time sure gets away from me. 

I thought I would share another Easter Card.  This is made with the Egg-Stravaganza stamp set and Egg Position and Die set.  The little bunny is made from punches.  I also used the grass die on the card.   Hope you enjoy it!

Moving onto EASTER

I'm not a St. Patrick's type of gal so I am moving onto Easter ideas.  I love Easter and all the spring colors.  I had to move on and do some things.  I am in love with the Egg-Strvaganza Stamp Set and the Egg die and positioning plate die set.  I also love to decorate the "big" Hershey bars for different occasions and holidays.  Here is a close up of the eggs that I stamped and cut.  You will notice not all of them are perfect but in my stamping world...nothing is perfect in this world so why should my stamping be.  My classes love it and don't feel so compelled to be "perfect".

I used the Martha Stewart fringe scissors for my grass.  I love those scissors.  Although I love our grass die I think it needed more dimension on the grass so I chose the scissors.

Here is the candy bar:

I loved making these.  I did them over the weekend with a couple teenaged girls and they also had fun with them.  I hope you get a chance to try them.

Below is a list of the supplies I used:

Egg-Stravaganze Stamp Set SJEK006

Egg Die & Positioner Set  TAD0004

Essential Elements Stamp Set  SASU009

Gingham Cardstock (orange from assorted pack)  PAGHAST

Blackberry Ink Pad   IAPF702

Bubblegum Ink Pad  IAPF203

Ocean Ink Pad  IAPF602

Grass Ink Pad  IAPF503

Memento Black Ink pad  IMMP500

The paper for the candy bar wrapper is cut 6 3/4" x 8 1/2".  I only taped one side so the candy bar can slip in and out of the wrapper.  The grass is cut 1" x 6 3/4" and 1 1/2" x 6 3/4".  After I used the scissors I daubed some green on the grass for dimension.  Stamp the eggs as you desire and cut them out.  Place to your liking on your wrapper.  ENJOY!!!
