Cross Box Scallop Banner

Playing with the Easter Cross Box from the 2011 Easter Wishes PCS.  I wanted something simple to stuff treats inside for the kiddies.

I have selected a winner for for the Orange Blossom Tea Room, the March 2012 issue of the Paper Crafters Sampler.  Carolyn S.  CONGRATULATIONS!

Paper Calla Lily tutorial

I whipped this little video tutorial up to share the how-to's of creating a small calla lily. There are 100's of ways to do it, this is my way.

Before you take a peeksie, if you'd like a BIGGER lily, try using a large heart punch.  It works just as well.  Here's what I embellished my lily's with:

Here's the video.

Christening Cross Gift Box

I've been playing for the past week with the Easter Cross Gift Box.  I've got 4 more boxes prepped for design. 

Here I've modified the box for a Christening gift box.  What do you think of using the same box for a communion or confirmation???  This all white them would be just as good for a Wedding favor (which is one of the four boxes waiting in the wings).

Sixlets Easter Cross Box

Playing with the Easter Cross Box Template.   This little box was stuffed with some Easter colored Sixlets chocolates.  What was most difficult about this was trying not to eat the candy. 

Easter Cross Box Hop

Welcome to the first 2011 blog hop featuring projects from the Paper Crafters Design team.  We'll start things off right by showcasing the newest template, an "Easter Cross Box" template featured in the February issue "Easter Wishes".

If you've been following along, then you probably just arrived from Heidi Baks blog and here beautiful Cross Box.  The blog officially starts January 30th so if you're here a little early be sure to check back again Sunday morning to see the blog hop in its entirety.

Take a look at what I've done:

The Wasabi base of the Cross was run through the Perfect Dots embossing folder.  The flowers were created with the ever so versatile Boho punch and Bold Bright designer paper, followed by sponged edges using a tangerine dye pad.  Finish off with the addition of some self-adhesive basic pearls smack-dab in the center.

Here's another view of the flowers near the bottom, laying on top of a pretty daffodil ribbon.
