Designed2Delight - Mother's Day Weekend BLOG HOP!

Hi! and Welcome to Designed2Delight's
Mother's Day Weekend HOP!

If you came here from Designed2Delight, then you're on the right track! If not...
Be sure to start this Hop @ Designed2Delight! You will need to read all the rules & details! Click HERE to go there.

For my project I used the "Lucky Bird" digital stamp. I trimmed off the legs & printed it off twice (Mom & baby bird). Faith has quite a few bird digis in her shop, that could be used for a project like this. I used my Big Shot & Mini Milk Carton Die (SU!) to make the birdhouse. If you don't have either one of these toys in your craft corner, not to worry! There is a site called  "Mirkwood Designs" that has a free Milk Carton template for you to use. I used a 1-1/4" circle punch in the front of my carton. Inside is some shredded paper & a couple of candy eggs.

Here's a few more details:
birdhouse- Mini Milk Carton
leaves- 2 Step Bird punch (SU!)
Copics
ribbon- Robert Stanley Collection
Roof:
cardstock- 3-3/4" x 2-1/2"
shingles- 3/4" circle punch 
1/2" Library Clip (SU!) (holding roof on carton)

I hope I have inspired you to make your own Birdhouse! Be sure to leave me a comment here on this post! I will be giving away, the digital stamp "Spreading Sweetness" by Designed2Delight, to one lucky commenter! You have until midnight May 8th (Central Time) to enter.

Whoo's Your Valentine?

(Top 5 Winner!!)

At Peachy Keen's, Let's Face It Friday, the challenge is x's & O's !

I used SU!'s "Love Impressions" Designer Paper (paper has oxoxox all over it) & "Who's Your Valentine" stamp set, for the sentiment. For the owl, I used SU!'s owl punch, Scallop Circle punch-wings, & Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face Parts. For directions, to make this mini milk carton carrier go to: Paper Punch Addiction.

SCIC # 35

Here's my project for Stampin' Celebrations challenge for this week. I used my favorite, mini milk carton Die & found a carrier pattern that will hold 2 milk cartons.
Go to Paper Punch Addiction for a tutorial on how to make this cute carrier. I used the Birthday Bakery stamp set, my SU! markers, Pretty In Pink & Not Quite Navy cardstock, along with some Greenhouse Gala DSP. Punches: 1" circle, scallop edge & scallop circle. I added a couple of 1/2" library clips on top & a Pretty In Pink brad & bow. Inside are chocolate-cherry M&M's. Ever had them? Yum!

SU! Mini Milk Carton Die
Snow around house & roof- Scallop Border punch
Door- Large Oval & Scallop Oval punch
Trees & bushes- Heart to Heart punch
Wreath on door- Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack
* Don't glue box together at the top. The roof makes it impossible to open.
I filled it with candy & used a SU! 1/2" Library Clip on top.

Here it is November 16th & we STILL haven't had any snow! That has to be a record.

STAMPIN' INSPIRATION CHALLENGE #24

Here's mine. I made it so that I could use it for Halloween & Thanksgiving...I know, I know, I surprise myself too. :)
Anyway, box- SU! paper=soft suede
Designer paper from K & Company
Mini Milk Carton Die in Crumb Cake & Dusty Durango.
Scallop circle punch in Soft Suede, inked edges in Chocolate Chip.

Handle punched with 1-1/4" circle then, I punched a piece of Chocolate Chip paper with 1-1/4" circle & punched over that hole a 1-3/4" circle. (hope that made some sense)
