Do the Bunny Hop!

I seldom do a double post, but I was so inspired by the MFT challenge that I just had to play along!

---  See my Imaginisce Bunny Crossing post down below! ---

Since I had the Hippity Hop collection from Imaginisce out on my desk from my sign project, I used my scraps to create this fun little Easter card!  The larger Open Oval Scallop die was used to create my "cracked egg".  I just cut the cracks into it.

Some Details:

I've had the doily die and the floral dies forever and use them all the time!

Recently I added the fancy flourish to my collection and it is divine!  I would love to guest design for MFT (who wouldn't?!!!) to showcase their dies in other fun and different ways.

Easter Inspiration with Imaginisce!

Happy Spring everyone! 

I'm so excited to see the buds on our trees and the green grass coming through!  This last weekend I visited my friend back home and listened to the birds singing as we scrapped and it was heavenly.

Today on the Imaginisce blog we are sharing some Easter inspired projects and here is what I created:

"Hippity Hop Bunny Crossing Sign"

Of course the go to for this would be the Hippity Hop collection -- love it!!!

I used my i-Top and our 16mm brad daddy for the flower center.

The base for this sign was a piece of cardboard that had score marks on it.  I folded it in half and there was a relief section of about 1" on it.  I decided to leave it, tear away bits of it and paint using some green paint to simulate grass. I dug around and used up all of my scrap pieces to put the rest of the design together.

My "stick" for the sign is a paint stir stick that I painted brown.  I think I'm going to do a white wash over the top to lighten it up a bit.  The die cuts and chipboard elements in the collection make any project adorable, fast and fun!  I hope you take a little time and create some Easter inpiration for your house too!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to you! 

We're so excited over at Imaginisce, we've paired up with Scrapbook Adhesives and are celebrating with a Blog Hop this week!  Prepare yourself for some amazing inspiration, as the projects are fabulous!!!

For my project, I created a mini album for some friends of ours.  I used the Hippity Hop collection (which just happens to be one of the prizes!!!)

How perfect is the "Bloom and Grow" sentiment for the cover?  So fun!

I cut an extra kite from the pattern paper and attached using the thin 3d foam squares.  You'll see the photo corners used on each of the mini album pages also.  The i-rock was used to add the bird "wings" using our silver teardrops, the gems and heart.

The die cut elements in the Hippity Hop collection are so fun and easy to use, they come pre-cut for you and all ready to roll out of the package!  I used the Scrapbook Adhesives thin 3D foam squares along with their regular 3D foam squares for varying dimension throughout.  The ribbon was attached using the Crafty Super Power tape.

The floral center was created using the i-Top 2.0 and a 16mm brad daddy. 

Confession time, the little raining cloud is hiding Daddy's hand holding the fish... so it could look like she is doing it herself.  ; )  A few strategically attached silver tear i-rock gems represent water splash from Mr. Fish.  I chose the "Hippity Hop" title on the fifth page as I'm presuming when they were at Disney they were on a Hopper pass.  (Crossing my fingers that I am right!) 

The back cover.  The little canvas sticker bird was attached using a few of the 3D foam squares stacked on each other so she could perch above the title.  I added a heart glam rock using my i-rock for it's wing and a few other gems for interest.

Designer's Notes:

• When I stitch my photos to their mats, I used just a few squares from the EZ Squares in the middle to tack the photo in place so it would be centered and not move while I stitched the photo to the mat.
• I have a confession... I'm an EZ Runner addict. I absolutely LOVE this runner and have used it since day 1 of scrapping. I don't make many projects without it.  It holds awesome and is small and easy to pack for a crop.  .

Hippity Hop!!! It's a New Release!

Tuesday greetings to you!  Is the reality of winter setting in kind of a bummer to you as it is for me?  Do you need a bit of a "pick me up" to your day?
 
Check out the Imaginisce Blog because baby it is hopping SPRINGTIME all over!!! It is our big release party for the spring line, Hippity Hop! We hope to inspire you all week and of course give you a chance to win your own HIPPITY HOP COLLECTION!  Be sure to follow along all week long!

Today I have a couple of fun and cheerful Hippity Hop projects to share with you!  First up, "Spring Time Pajamas" layout:

A few details for you:

I added some stitching on the page and layered one of our "Gotta Have It" sheer pink flowers under the die cut for some pretty texture.  I love to use Pink on my boys pages!!!  Of course, I also love to add a bit of bling with my i-Rock tool as well.  I used it for my bird's eye and on the floral die cut.

I added a hand stitched circle to the page and altered my stitch colors orange and yellow, every other one.  A touch of my Copic marker to my clear i-Rock bling custom coordinated my gem to the green script titlework.

 
My next project was just such a happy discovery!  I purchased some treats from a school fundraiser and the packaging was so cute, I thought, well let's take it apart and see how it's done!  I'm sure someone, somewhere has made these too, but this was new to me.

A side view with a bit of detail for you:

(If you'd like to make your own treat box, I scanned my template and you can get it here.)

Here's how it started out for me:

I traced the deconstructed template on top of my paper.  Trimmed the paper to size, then used my craft knife to cut out the "kite" shapes from the back side of my pattern paper.

Following the example of my inspiration, score the kite shapes on point as shown all the way top to bottom.

Turn the template and score the two lines on point as shown at the center point of the kite shape.

Fold all the horizontal lines to achieve your containers shape.  Ink edges if desired.  Use a strong adhesive tape to adhere the quarter lip after aligning to the opposite side.  Now you can gently push the ends in toward the middle and you will see your shape appear nicely.

I used some pretty seam binding crinkle ribbon to tie mine.  Aren't those die cuts the cutest?!!! 

If you create some of these fun treatboxes I would love to see them!  Please link them up.

Thanks so much for hopping on by today!  I hope you enjoyed my projects.  If you love this line as much as I do, you definitely want to stop on by the Imaginisce Blog to leave a comment for your chance to win one!!!

Have a super scrappity day!
