Inkin With Dink

Team swaps

Hello Stampers!  Today I wanted to share with you some of the swaps from my February team meeting.  Our theme for this month was Easter or anything from the Sale-a-bration catalog!

 This card was made by Debbie N.

 This card was made by Julie.

 This card was made by Karen.

 This card was made by Tracy.

 This card was made by Laura.  Laura used the new Bokah technique.  I learned how to do this technique at a Stampin' Up! event I recently attended.  It is a fun technique and I hope to do a tutorial on it soon!

Thanks for stopping by to see some of my swaps!  Come back tomorrow and see the rest of them.

Happy Easter!

Hello Stampers!  Happy Easter!  I hope that you have all had a fun day with family and friends!  We have!  We started the day going to church, and then we came home and decorated 200 cake pops!  Why you ask?  My youngest daughter Amie, loves to bake, and she often gets orders from people for her products!  This latest one, was the biggest by far!  She was asked to make 200 cake pops for a volunteer luncheon!  The best part was that they wanted them to look like the earth!  Come back tomorrow and see how they turned out!

 

Today I wanted to show you an Easter card that we made in my kid's class this month.

 

 The girl's had fun making these.

 Here is what the inside of the card looks like.  The cute stamp set that I used is Eggstra Spectacular (w-133068 c-133071).  And of course the little pom pom for the bunny tail makes the whole card!!

We also made an Easter candy holder that was super cute!  Hop over to my Inkin With DInk Facebook page to see it!

Happy Easter!

Hello Stampers!  Happy Easter!  I hope that you are all enjoying your holiday with your family and friends!  I wanted to show you a couple of my best selling Easter candy holders from my craft fairs this Spring!

This is the little lamb.

This is the little chick.

They are each holding a mini Peanut Butter egg!  The bodies are made using the Scallop CIrcle die with the Big Shot Die Cut Machine, and the face parts are made with punches!

Have a wonderful Easter!

Dink It Up team meeting

Hello Stampers!  Today was our Dink It Up! monthly meeting.  We always have such a great time together!

Pat was in charge of bringing our Door Prize this month.  Look at this adorable candy holder she brought:

 Adorable!  She even made a little sleeve to slip down inside:

  Very fun!  Alice Marie won this, so she gets to bring the door prize next month!

Don't forget, only 5 more days left of Sale-a-bration!  Check out the brochure here.

Punch art Easter Bunny box

Hello Stampers!  Today I wanted to show you another of the items I was selling at the craft fair this weekend. 

  This fun bunny box was fun to make too!  You can't see the box in great detail, but it is made from the Designer Rosette BIgz die (125594) with the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine (113439).  I then made the box from the die cut.

The bunny is made from several of our punches.  Filled with some Easter grass, I think these turned out really cute.  I have a couple of these left too, so if you are interested, just contact me!

 

Easter Hershey bars

Hello Stampers!  WOW I had a really busy weekend at the Oakville High School craft fair!  It is pretty much all day, both Saturday and Sunday.  Want to see some of the goodies I made?

Every season, I make Hershey bar covers.  My repeat customers have gotten to where they search me out to see what my covers look like each year!

This is the super cute Easter Bunny that I made this year!  Aren't they fun?

This bunny is so easy and is just made from a variety of our punches!

I have a few of these left, so if you are interested in one, just let me know!  They are selling for $3.50 each.

Easter and Sale-a-bration swaps

Happy Easter and chocolate egg butterflies

Hello Stampers!  I hope that you all had a very Happy Easter!  We had a wonderful weekend with all of our company!  The weather was perfect and luckily we were able to be outside for a lot of the time!  Believe me, when you have 12 people in a house for three days, you need to spend some time outside!

Here is our family photo we took at the park on Saturday!

What a crew!   And you wouldn't believe the looks we got everywhere we went since we were all dressed in red!!

Now for today's goodies!  I found the tutorial to make the neatest chocolate egg butterflies on Sarah Willis's blog and knew that I had to make them for the office staff at my girl's school.  I simplified them a bit since I had to make so many of them!

Aren't they the cutest?

And here is a whole bag of them!

These used the new Mixed Bunch stamp set (125535) and the coordinating Blossom punch (125603) from the Occasions mini catalog.  Don't forget that these need to be ordered before the end of the month when this mini catalog will expire!  We don't know if they will be carried over to the next catalog or not!
