Cute Curvy Keepsake Bunnies!!

I just had to share these with you. My friend, Wendy, is Brown Owl to the local Brownies and she made these with all the Brownies this week.  I love how they've all personalised their bunnies with their own touches.  Some mums and dads will be very happy to receive these for Easter.

Stampin' Up! UK Curvy Keepsake Easter Chick

It doesn't seem 5 minutes since I was sharing my Stampin' Up! UK Curvy Keepsake Robin Tutorial with you and now the Easter eggs are in the shops we crafters are turning our thoughts to Mother's Day and Easter treats.  You can make it easy with this uber cute chick.

In daffodil delight he's going to be a big hit in our house and he's quick and easy to make. You can use various punches to add his wings, feet and beak and I decided I liked candy dots best of all for his eyes as they give him a really cute look.  The punches I used were modern label, petite petals and the blossom for his feet.

I love the Spring and all the beautiful flowers it brings including the Daffodils and so I've another box with Daffodils and Narcissi.  Just to make sure my little chicks aren't lonely there's a Lindt bunny family in a Berry Basket.  This one was brought as a swap to my demonstrate shoe box event by lovely Elaine Barr.  We all bring supplies to make one item and this was her gorgeous contribution.  Just love that pom-pom trim.

Which is your favourite season?

Back with more soon and I'll have projects to share from my all day class this Saturday.

Stampin' Up! Curvy Keepsake Box Robin - My first video tutorial!

Oh my I finally plucked up the courage to make my first video tutorial! Lots of folk asked me how I made my cute curvy keepsake box Robin and a I've had other requests for 'how to' on other projects. Also this week a lovely lady called Brenda Quintana asked me if I minded her making a video tutorial of one of my cards and she said I should have a go at making my own videos.  That gave me the final nudge to try.  I hope you find it useful!

This Robin would make super tree hangings/ornaments, table favours, stocking fillers and more and I'd love to hear what you used yours for ......

Thanks for watching and if you like it I'll have a go at making more!

The Curvy Keepsake Box - It's addictive!

Stampin' Up! Curvey Keepsake Box

I really didn't want to invest in the Curvy Keepsake Box framelits but my team kept tempting me with lots of lovely ideas and then I saw even more on pinterest and then I made my Robin and I have to say they are without a doubt on of the best purchases I have made from Stampin' Up!.

Before I loaded the last box for my stand at Sincerely Yours Newark on Sunday I had a quick play and made this adorable chocolate box with window sheets and said framelits.  It drew so many comments at the show and was even viewed by a lovely lady who is a baker who was visiting a baking show nearby and decided to drop by and see what was going on at Sincerely Yours. Even her husband perked up with this box and the idea that they could use it for their business to display and sell cakes and treats.  So simple and yet it makes a bag of Vice Versa chocs look amazing!  A teacher, lollipop lady or neighbour treat that would make anyone smile!

I've jazzed it up with some lovely satin real red ribbon and a tag from the same Curvy Keepsake framelits and the Endless Wishes stamp set.

Get ready for Christmas early with table favours made using these framelits and you'll be the hostess with the mostess!

Now I'll be back very soon with my Convention swaps.  I'm off to Brussels this week for our annual Stampin' Up! Convention. It's so much fun and I can't wait to hear about all the new products coming in over the months to come!

Catch you later.

Curvy Keepsake box Robin!

Have you seen some of the wonderful creations that have been made with the Stampin' Up! Curvy Keepsake Box framelits?  They are so cute and range from prettily decorated table favour boxes to characters and creatures.

Today I've made this cute Robin which is so synonymous with our UK Christmas festivities.  I love to see them in my garden and this one is no exception.  If you like stamping robins, you might remember I carved my own robin stamp also using the Stampin' Up! Undefined Stamp Carving Kit and you can see cards I made in my Christmas Card Club post or my Happy Birthday Dad post showing how I used the stamp for Christmas and a birthday card.

If you'd like to see a tutorial of how you can get your base box to be different colours using the Stampin' Up! Curvy Keepsake Box please visit my friend Mikaela's blog for her fab, easy to follow tutorial.

Have fun!
