Mini Easter Milk Cartons with Video!

Hello! I'm so happy to share a cute little tutorial with you today using the adorable images from the Gerda Steiner Designs Easter Bunny Bundle and some Lawn Fawn cardstock. These cute little cartons are just perfect to slip in a few little chocolate eggs for your sweeties on Easter morning!

You can find the Video HERE where you can see the exact measurements to make these cute milk cartons yourself and watch how I coloured up these cuties. I originally found these on the ChicnScratch channel, so feel free to check out Angie's video there too!

I tied on some cute little carrot buttons and used a Pretty Cute Stamps Easter Stamp to add a sentiment on the signs. These would also be great as place cards if you're having an Easter Dinner!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Gerda Steiner Designs blog to see closeups and details. Have a wonderful weekend friends!!

Amazing Fold Fall Card!

Hello friends! I'm back today with a post for the Scrapendipity Way Of Life blog! Recently, I participated in a card swap and the challenge was to create a Fall card using a different fold than a regular 4.25 x 5.5" card. I found an Amazing Card on Pinterest and thought this would be the perfect one to create and decorate for my friends.

I started off with two 8x8 sheets of cardstock, since I was making 2 cards. I folded the cardstock in half one way and then the other to create four 4x4 squares. Then, on two of the squares I scored to create 4 triangles (see card below).

Here's a look at the yellow card. Erica was being my helper ;) I cut smaller squares of fall paper from the BoBunny Enchanted Harvest collection and cut them in half to create four triangles, which I added to the inside of my card. Two green squares were attached to the unscored 4x4 squares, and I added some stamping and paper. I heat embossed a pumpkin stamp and used Distress Inks to sponge on colour before layering it on my card. 

For the cover, I coloured my seam binding ribbon with Distress Stains by rubbing them onto my ribbon and then spritzing with water to blend. I crinkled the ribbon and dried it lightly with a heat gun. I used A Tim Holtz stencil to create a background with Distress Inks in coordinating colors and layered it on top of my ribbon - I just love this stencil! It reminds me of a nice, cozy sweater! To finish it off I stamped a Tim Holtz Blueprint Leaf with brown ink on vellum and heat embossed with a crystal embossing powder. Then, on the back of the vellum I used Prismacolor Markers to colour in my leaf image. I love how the stenciled background still shows through!

Here's a look at how the card folds into itself - leaving you with a pretty 4x4 card!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Here's a tutorial to create this card on YouTube if you want to try it yourself! This is a great card to use up pretty papers you have in your stash and would be perfect for any holiday!
