I mean really....how stinkin cute is this????
Since I had these papers out from yesterday's card, I just kept playing with it and made this card. This card is from a sketch I saw probably a year ago or more. I liked it then, and I still like it now. I used Matchbox Messages stamp set and my Sweet Pea DSP....again...what will I do when that is gone???? Oh my!!
This is just a side view so you get an idea of it's total cuteness.
I'm not a Cadbury Egg girl...so luckily this isn't tempting to me and will stay in it's little home until given to my friend at work. It's cute though huh?
If anyone wants to make one....shoot me an email or you can join 
How yummy does this guy look? I just used my versamark ink on Chocolate Chip and clear embossed him and cut him out. He looks good enough to eat.
Can you believe that tomorrow is the last day of March? I sure can't.
You can see from the side view the fun little cards hiding inside.
On the inside we have first a layer of white ( 3 3/4" x 8 1/2")
I then made 4 very cute but simple 3 x 3 cards to go inside. They are Regal Rose (6 x 3) folded in half.
The flower on the card was just the perfect touch and was made with the Boho Blossom and the Trio flower punch with a brad in the middle.
I think it turned out pretty cute. Now, who do I give it to????
My daughter in law Ali saw the cute, adorable bunny, chick and sheep that I had made....see previous post...and wanted to make some for her preschool kids. 
I sure do love these guys and was glad to "therapize" with Ali most of the night. 
Can you tell which punches and dies are used on this cute little guy? I think it is easy to figure out except for the beak. I just punched out one of the 5 points on the large star punch. Everything else is pretty self explanatory.....oh the eyes....white is the 3/4" punch and the black is 1/2" punch.
Have a great day and see you again tomorrow...
Only 3 more days of March....wow that's crazy.
I also love my Sweet Pea DSP. I used it with some Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and So Saffron cardstock...ran my Pretty in Pink through with my texture plate to make it feel fun and flighty like the butterflies. I added my sentiment from the Messages for Mom stamp set.
Thanks for peeking in.
This card is so not my typical style, but I saw something similar and liked it. 
Arent' those boxes just a beautiful sight? So much fun inside just waiting to escape and be played with.
I love this look on my front porch. {I didn't think to take a picture until I had already brought one of the boxes in and it was too heavy to carry out for the picture....but you get the idea}
So, onto today's project. And you see this and say, "Well Andrea, we have already seen this cute little guy before." And my response would be, "Yes you have, but not in white." I just had to make one in white to see what he would look like.....A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!! I made him a he with his blue bow tie as you can see. He didn't last very long at my house, because he marched himself right over to a friend's house.
I couldn't give him away without some chocolate inside now could I???? That would just be rude!!! So I took some Garden Green cardstock and ran it through the shredder, and added some Reese's peanut butter eggs.....can you believe I sacrificed those???? I know. Anyway, my friend LOVED him.
We made these guys last night at my house and we had a fun time doing it.....well except for the eyes on the sheep....see previous post.... 
I used the cute little flower from the Think Happy Thoughts stamp set in Pixie Pink, added a clear rhinestone brad to the center. Layered it with various punches in fun spring colors and attached it to the top of these cute little bottles.
I added a Tempting Turquoise bow and a Happy Easter tag that I made using the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set....this is a WONDERFUL stamp set with so many perfect sayings....you need this stamp set you really do.....
And really, would any container I make be complete without something chocolate inside? I mean really!!!! I ordered these cute little 4 oz. bottles on line. If you are interested click here for the website.
This card uses the new stamp set coming out called Awash with Flowers. It will be for sale during the month of April and then you have to wait again until the new catalog comes out and get it in July. There are so many, many fun ways to use this stamp set. I'm finding it is becoming one of my favorites.
Had to put something fun inside too.
I took the Top Note Die and used the free sale-a-bration paper, wrapped some stripped Old Olive ribbon around it. I adhered it to Kraft cardstock with some stampin dimensionals. I then took another freebie from sale-a-bration, and used the A Flower For All Seasons stamp set and used my blender pen to color it in. I then punched it out with the wide oval punch and also put it on with some stampin dimensionals. I used the Family Phrases stamp set for the sentiment and punched it out with the small oval punch....since I was on a stampin dimensional roll, I also used those to put on the sentiment. 
With the Close to Cocoa stamp pad I just simply stamped the image on the inside right bottom corner. It added the perfect touch.
For this card I used the following:
I realize Mother's Day is a ways off, but you could replace the sentiment with Happy Birthday or whatever sentiment you needed.
You will need a piece of cardstock cut 9 1/2" x 8 1/2".
Put adhesive on the four corners and tuck in, glue them to the inside....that's important.... This will make a box. The above photo is to show you what it will look like glued together.
Trim off the outside part of the DSP die just around the perforations. The photo below shows what I mean.
Glue the DSP trimmed paper to the cardstock, and take your slot punch and punch two holes as close to the edge as shown. (It is important that you get close to the edge, you will see why later.)
Next, take a piece of cardstock and cut it 3 5/8" x 4 5/8". This will be the lid of the box.
Glue in the four corners and your lid should look like mine below....sorry for the blurry picture. 
Now take the top note die with the DSP on the top with the holes punched on the side and adhere it to the lid you just made. Make sure NOT to cover up your little holes with the box lid.
Another blurry picture....it was late and I was tired....sorry. This is what your lid should look like now.
Now take your box bottom and cover it with the same DSP you used for the top note on the lid. It will take 2 pieces cut 3 1/4" x 2 3/4" for the front and back.
Now take your plain cardstock top note die and put a little bit of adhesive on it. Lay a piece of coordinating ribbon that has been cut 30" long and lay it across your paper. 
Now take your box bottom all decorated and cute, and place it ON TOP of the ribbon like in the picture below.
Almost done. Now put your lid on your box.
Bring your ribbon up through the holes like in the picture below. {This is why it was so important that your holes be punched close to the edge and not covered up with the box lid.}
Tie your bow, and you have yourself one adorable little box. 
Ta da!!!! These really do make up quickly and so stinkin cute.
Even their little bums are cute.

Okay, so I was thinking of offering a class on Thursday, March 25th at 7p.m. at my house, for a total of $5.00 for all 3, to cover the cost. You can use my punches, my paper, my ribbon and we can have fun together making these guys. If you are interested, shoot me an email.
