March Girls Day/Night Out Projects

Here are the March Girls Day/Night Out projects!

This Bunny Basket was a case of Laura's at Two Step Stamping. When I saw her project, I immediately knew I wanted to use this for my Easter themed class. Her blog and project can be found HERE. There is an awesome tutorial on how to make the bunny and basket there! You can make these baskets ANY size! Just alter your square size that the box is made out of.




Recipe:
Stamp Set: Polka Dot Backgrounds, A Good Egg (basket is stamped)
Ink: Pretty in Pink
Paper: Pretty In Pink, Whisper White, Basic Black
Accessories: Large/Small Oval/Scallop Circle/1/4" Circle/1/2" Circle/BoHo Blossoms/5 Petal Flower Punches, Dimensionals (nose part is popped), Pink Grosgrain Ribbon, White Brad

This card was a TOTAL CASE of Laura Brown's card, which can be found on her blog HERE. The only thing I did different was didn't hand cut the eggs, and used my circle punch (and popped it). Some gals at my class stamped gifts from the Loads of Love Accessories set to make it a spring birthday card! Those were cute, too.



Recipe:

Stamp Set: Branch Out, Loads of Love Accessories
Paper: So Saffron, Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Delicate Dots DP
Ink: Close to Cocoa, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue
Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Certainly Celery Ribbon (From Sale a Bration Promotion), Dimensionals, 1"/1 1/4" Circle Punches

I can't get enough of Julie Davison's blog!!! I was inspired by her card found HERE. Julie is just as sweet as she is creative!! :)

Recipe:
Stamp Set: All Holidays
Paper: Ruby Red, So Saffron, Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Sweet Slumber DP
Ink: Ruby Red
Accessories: Small and Large Star Punches, Striped Baja Breeze Ribbon, Dimensionals




Recipe:

Stamp Set: A Good Egg, Itty Bitty Backgrounds
Paper: Sweet Always DP, Pumpkin Pie, Regal Rose, Whisper White
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron
Accessories: Trio Flower Punch, Coluzzle, Large Scallop Die, Big Shot, Non SU Brad, Dimensional (the egg shell is "popped"), White Grosgrain Ribbon

To make a card out of the large scalloped punch, just position the folded square cardstock not quite to the top of the scalloped die cut. This way it WON'T CUT the top of the card.
