Girl Curvy Keepsake Treat Wrapper

I Hope I didn't keep anyone waiting too long.
Here is the little girl treat wrapper made with the Curvy Keepsake SU die.

 

I think she'd be very cute for Easter (maybe have a her holding a large Easter Egg). Or how about a party invite. She could be holding a gift or balloon and the party details could be written on the back.. This also makes a great party favour and she can easily be turned into a little boy.

Here's a side and back view (yes, I finished the back of the head with another scalloped circle)

 

My wrapper is holding a clear baggie with 6 small Easter chocolates/eggs, but many little candy treats will work well for this. A small dollar store type toy would probably fit too.

Oops, forgot to note the  supplies used

Ink: all SU - Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush, Soft Sky

Cardstock: Bazzill

Die; Curvy Keepsake - SU

Punches: - as note din the below instructions.

Misc.: blakc marker, red/rose blush (my white gel pen is dried up and I haven't had a chance to buy a new one so no highlights on this one)

More Curvy Keepsake Treat Wrappers

I liked my little Leprechaun so much I decided to make a few more character treat wrappers using the Curvy keepsake die.

They are turning out rather cute so I thought I'd share a quick preview of the next three; a little girl, a baby and a fun birthday clown:

I am working on the instructions right now, so these will be up on the blog this week.

Also, these are just the beginning, I have several more in the works; so come back soon.

Leprechaun Curvy Keepsake Wrapper

I love how versatile the Curvy Keepsake die is. I used it to make this cute little leprechaun treat wrapper for St. Patty's Day.

 

His belly is holding a littel clear bag with 3 very large chocolate coins from his little pot of gold.

Here is a side view so you can see the treat a little better. A chocolate bar, pack of gum or other candy will work as well.

Supplies used:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Ink: Garden green, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Blushing Bride, Old Olive - all SU
Die: Curvy Keepsake - SU
Punches: see instruction list below
Misc.: red chalk (cheeks), white gel pen  (mine is drying out as you can see), black marker (mouth)

Welcome Spring Window Card

We have had some very unusually mild weather here in Calgary in the past few weeks. It's making me very hopeful for spring (all though I am afraid to rock the boat so to speak).

That in mind I felt inspired to make something that said "spring". I've been seeing a lot of cards made using the new SU stamps et "Indescribable Gift". It is a lovely spring blossom branch that can be coloured with markers. I don't own it yet but thought I'd create something with spring blossoms.

This is what I came up with (I bet it would look even prettier with the SU stamp):

I don't have any blendabilities (or other alcohol marker). I used my regular SU markers to try an shade the blossoms a little. In actual fact I was not too happy with the results and almost threw the coloured image away when my daughter advised she loved it and would like a card made with it.

So this little gem was born. I do love the window die and think it works really well with this image.

Here is a  peak at the inside of the card, which I made to match.

Supplies used:

Cardstock: Bazill

Ink/Ink Markers: Blushing Bride, Rich Razzelberry - SU, Early Espresso

Stamps: Asian inspired - Fiskars, Easter Blossoms - SU

Embossing folder: Brick - Tim Holtz

Die: Door/Window - Impression Obsession

Misc.: Foam mounting squares, 2 x 1/8" silver brads.

Party Time

I used all 4 cocktail designs from the last 4 days to make the matching birthday card to my tags.
The set turned our really great and I am very hopeful my sister will like it.

I chose a simple white background for the card as well, but opted for a step card for a little more drama. I also popped two of my glasses using foam mount. Note I trimmed foam tape it into very thin strips so that there is a little behind the base as well as the stem.

Originally this card did not have any bling. It  was definitely missing something. Once I add my "bubbles" it all came together.

Thought I'd show a side by side comparison, without bling and with bling.

I finished the inside of the card to match:

Supplies used:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Ink: So Safron, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Sky, Pistachio Pudding, Basic Gray, Basic Black - all SU
Ink markers: Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black - SU
Stamps: Let Your Hair Down - SU
Misc.: foam mounting tape, 3 sizes of rhinestones (1/16", 1/8" 3/16"),
