I have been wanting to make this nest for a few weeks now. You know how it is, good intentions, put away, off to the side until you step on the pile! The original idea came from the stampin' success     Magazine for Demonstrators. So, Yes, It is a CASE-copy and steal everything (in a nice way). We get so many great ideas from this publication and this was one of their Art Show ideas.

I have added a picture tutorial for you on how I created this fun piece of paper art. All supplies are Stampin' Up!® and the "crafty items" came from a local "money" store. I like Cheap crafting items.

1. Get your grapevine wreaths-I used 2 small 6" pieces. Tie them together with Bind Wire. (I use this to tie on my delicate Christmas tree ornaments.)

2. Cut out Moss and stuff into wreath.

3. Add moss.

4. Flip over and glue gun moss into place. Yup, it was messy but fun.

5. The paper måché Egg.

I used the soon to be retiring Blossom Punch (#122464 $23.95) and a glue gun to attach the petals. I used Textured Baja Breeze C.S. (#121075 $11.95). All textured C.S.will be retired this month so get yours today. Visit here to see the retiring list.

6. Use your Spritzer tool (I know you have it in that drawer, just dust it off).

I used Soft Suede Stampin' Write Marker (#120973 $3.50) and the Color Spritzer Tool (#107066 $12.95)

7. Speckled Eggs.

and Finally-

The Nest!

I used the following dies:

Sizzlit: Little Leaves #114511 $5.50

Embosslit: Beautiful Wings #118138 $11.95

Bigz Die: Beautiful Butterflies #114507 $21.95

Love my Sizzix Big Shot! (#113439 $99.95)

also-the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Bunch Pack (#118309 $16.95)

I hope you Enjoyed this post. Go and make something crafty today!

I made this fun little box for a workshop this past weekend. Spring is close, time for Easter ideas.

Cute, Huh!

Hmmm, How did I make this Nifty Window you ask?

Just scroll down to get my picture tutorial:

Cut out a Box #2 pattern.

Now Close your multipurpose Platform, place cutting pad on top and then add your pattern.

Add label framelit on the front of the box. Place cutting pad on top and run through the Big Shot.

Now it's cut out and you have a label die piece to use later.

Now flip it to the inside. Cut out a window sheet to fit.

Add glue dots or Sticky strip tape or Snail-a.k.a. Booger Maker tape!

Place window sheet on top.

Turn over and you are ready to go.

There were 4 cards and the Framed art. Unfortunately, I was not able to have the 4th card for this picture as I had to give it to my customer who was not able to attend the class.

A few items up close:

One of my Favorites:

This was the Big project for the class and a Favorite of all. I Love doing Home decor ideas with paper and stamps. It was super easy.

So many doable ideas that are shared every month-perhaps you are looking to be a Demonstrator now-Perfect time to sign up Today with the $125.00 sale price. See more here.

Finally, It snowed around here. The girls were very happy as was the Snow-Plowing Hubby! My youngest daughter is so confused and asked if Christmas was coming because it snowed. This was the first Holiday season that I can really remember that we did not have Snow, even for New Years. Anyway, Snowflakes are still in as is Snowmen. They carry beyond the Holiday and basically cruise throughout the Winter. I love Snowflakes especially.

Here is another Candy Treat that I whipped up:

You can see my video I made for this so easy treat from an earlier post.

everything.

Here are some photo's of the storm-or Finally We Got Snow!!!!

The storm is moving across the lake and looks like fog. Normally you can see across- so spooky and yet really cool.

My Bird feeder-Love My Birds!

Enjoy!

Ok, Finally I have my cards done for my Downline. I sent a facebook note to let them know I would not have Holiday Cards but rather-Happy New Year, Hah! Sometimes the best laid plans, well you know. Anyway, I have another item to add to your packets Ladies and they will go out Tuesday. Of course, I am So Grateful to have a Great team of Gals-The Dairy Best Stampers.

I like them so much that this month's Stampers 6 Group will be making a similar card.

ENJOY!

Packaging-Truly one of my favorite things to design.

Here is my Day 4 idea since I know you have ALL your gifts bought and wrapped and all you have left is those last minute goodies.

Our Pillow box is great for little items, candy, food ideas. But, if you put two together, you have a longer container to put something in, like a really nice Pen for the manly type. So my idea today is dedicated to the males.

The length is now 5 1/2"  X  2" for filling space

Here are the Supplies I used:

Big Shot Die: Pillow Box Bigz Die (#113466 $19.95)

Paper: Designer Series paper (#124002 $10.95)

Punches: Ornament Punch (#119847 $16.95)

Ribbon: Baker's Twine (#123124 $2.95)

             1/8" Taffeta Ribbon-Early Espresso (#119959 $5.95)

Adhesive: Use Sticky Strip (#104294 $6.95) This really holds it together!

Stamp Set: Fabulous Phrases (W) #117002 $37.95, (C) 120501 $26.95

See you tomorrow and ENJOY!
