Graphic 45 Bunny Card For My Sheri Crafts

Beautiful paper always presents a dilemma. It is almost heartbreaking to cut or even think of covering it up. For this week's bunny theme, I used paper from Graphic 45's Once Upon A Springtime paper pack and stamped images from Graphic 45/Hampton Arts. I used Pebbles chalk for the background inside the Spellbinders frames. The pink cabochons along the corners are from The Paper Studio. The flower is from Prima.

I got the crinkle ribbon from a swap (thanks Dianne! :-D) and the stickpin is from Tracy (thanks again, Tracy!! :-D).



I colored the bunny image using Copic markers.
Here's the color guide:
Bunny- E31, E33, E35
Sweater- YG11, YG13, YG17
Skirt- E93, E95, YR82
Butterfly- BG72, BG75, BG78, BG10, BG13, BG15, BG18
*It was past midnight when I typed the draft and guess what? Instead of hitting "Save Now", I had hit "Publish Post" and the post did not even have pictures in them! To my post subscribers: thanks for being patient and sticking with a goofy blogger like me.

Button Up!

Our weekly theme at My Sheri Crafts for this week is "Buttons". I wanted to make something fun, whimsical and festive for this week's project. :-D

I cut the panda from Create-A-Critter at 2". The paper is from Basic Grey's Cupcake paper pad. The background paper mat is from DCWV. I used buttons from Basic Grey for the balloon centers. The balloons were cut using my Spellbinders dies. The stamped sentiment is from JustRite Stampers. The grass was cut freehand. To finish off the card, I used pop dots on the panda, some of the balloons and applied Stickles along the edges to make the card sparkle.

Singin' In The Rain

It's all about "April Showers" this week at My Sheri Crafts. While we are in desperate need for one in the desert, I was inspired by the movie and decided to make a card based on it. I had the perfect Tim Holtz stamp, which I inked using Colorbox Ink. I embossed the background paper with "Allegro". The vintage music sheet is from my stash and the raindrops are from Cloud 9. The tag is from Spellbinders.

Vintage Spring Mini Album For My Sheri Crafts

What does spring remind me of? Flowers, butterflies, birds, pure colors---the world reborn. :-)

This mini album measures 6"x6". I used paper from K&Co, Prima, Basic Grey, DCWV, Amanda Blu and Bo Bunny. The flowers are from Prima, Recollections and Petaloo. I used vintage lace and paper lace for accents. The wrought iron gates for the front and back covers are from Ornamental iron, cut at 4 1/2". The crystals are from Martha Stewart, Recollections and The Paper Studio. I used Martha Stewart punches and Spellbinders dies for the frames and butterflies for this project. The brads are from The Paper Studio. I also used Viva decor Pearl Pen for the flourishes.

I used a swivel clasp from Tim Holtz for the charm. The flower and brad are from the Paper Studio, and I found some beads from Michael's to add to the charm.




I made an envelope for this page, to hold more pictures.



My friend Tracy gave me this fabric flower and stickpin during one of the GIBBS swaps.


I made a waterfall layout for the last page.

Vintage Altered Box for My Sheri Crafts

A very good friend of mine bought me chocolates the last time we went to The Venetian in Vegas. The box was just as pretty as the chocolates inside it. I kept it and decided to alter it, using the brown palette as my theme.



The papers that I used are from DCWV, and Bo Bunny. The stamped image is from La Blanche Stamps. I used a flower from Recollections and ribbon from Stampin' Up. The paper lace is from K&Co, embellished with Viva Decor Pearl Pen. The crystals are from Martha Stewart. I cut the frames using Spellbinders dies and pop-dotted the image.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Warning: a lot of greens were used in the making of this card. :-D My Sheri Crafts is celebrating St. Patrick's Day! For this card, I used an image from ATC Collection. The papers are from Basic Grey and Prima. I also used Stickles for the cut outs and the frames are from Spellbinders. To add more texture, I added Flower Soft on the shamrock. The green ribbon is from a swap.

Celebrating Mardi Gras!

Mardi Gras falls on the 8th of March this year. We are feeling very festive at My Sheri Crafts and decided...hey, we need to chase the winter blues away and celebrate! I was inspired by the French Quarter when I made this card, hence the fleur-de-lis theme and the Gothic colors. I was thrilled to find that fabric trim with the iridescent beads in my stash. It reminded me of the beads they give away during the Mardi Gras festivities.


I sprayed some Tim Holtz Paper with Lindy's Stamp Gang Mists and cut off the fleur-de-lis die cuts using my Spellbinders dies. The border punches are from EK Success and Martha Stewart. The gold eyelets are from Making Memories. The black designer paper is from DCWV's Mariposa stack. The center fleur-de-lis was pop dotted to add more dimension.
