Easter Tins from Jenni Bowlin

This was very simple to do.  Spray paint the tins using Krylon paint. When the paint dries,  glitter the tins.

Els shared another Shimmer Sheetz Card

The flowers for this card are from Hero Arts. I did stamp with the gold StazOn on top of the Bronze Shimmer Sheetz. When the gold StazOn was drie I used the Hero Arts die from the same set and die cut the flowers. I colored on top of the St...azOn with the Copic markers. This gives a really nice effect. For the background I used a strip of the 40mm Be Creative tape and glittered the strip with the Apricot Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter and burnished it. The other piece is the Yellow Shimmer Sheetz, alcohol ink on top of the yellow Shimmer Sheetz, embossed with the new Spellbinders M-Bossabilities and sanded with a sanding block. I folded the leaves of the flowers a little bit and they will stay that way when you are using the Shimmer Sheetz. On the left side I used a gold glitter border Peel Off and colored it with a Copic marker and I did the same with the Happy Birthday Peel Off sticker.

Recipe Box from The Paper Company

The collection has everything you need to make this box. First, I started off with the Let's Eat™ Chipboard Recipe Box. I used the reverse side of Let's Eat™ Placemat paper for the lid and the reverse side of Let's Eat Cook Off for the rest of the box. I cut the paper to fit around the box and glued it down. Once the paper was glued on, I distressed the edges of the box to give it slightly more aged look. I made a band to fit around the box using the reverse side of Let's Eat™ Garden Medley and Let's Eat™ Dish Towel. I then cut out a bracket shape using the reserve side of Let's Eat™ Easy as Pie and distressed it a little. Then I glued it down to the front of the box slightly off centered. Using the same pattern from Let's Eat™ Garden Medley, I cut out letters spelling out the word recipes. I distressed it the same way as I did with everything else and glued them down to the bracket shape. Once that was done I made some flowers using other papers from the collection and finished them off using Let's™ Eat Fabric Buttons for the centers. There you have it! This is a great product that should be used with the Let's Eat™ Recipe Card Dividers and Let's Eat™ Recipe Cards, not shown above.

Spring Petaloo Card

Petaloo's NEW Spring Darjeeling in Pistachio color, 

I also love to cluster Petaloo's flowers! It's so easy when the flowers comes in different sizes and colors to choose from.

Did you see the butterflies and the mini pins? Look how cute these are? I love it all and you will too. The butterflies and pins are NEW to the Spring Darjeeling collection.
You can use it in clusters like I did here or use it in any of your craft making. The pins and butterflies come in the same color tones as the flowers so it's super easy to match them up.

Here's what I used:

Silhouette Flower Card wi Memory Box

Black flowers? New for me but I love them...they're so dramatic!

1. Starting with the new slate notecards, trim 1" off the front. Adhere a soft yellow panel, stamped with the Mercer Rose Background (G1842) in gray ink, onto the inside right edge. Add a 1/8" strip of black paper alongside the panel.
2. Using the Cornerstone Seal die (#98293) cut one from Polka Polka paper (#10153) and another from Sweet Corn cardstock (#44042). Snip the connecting paper to separate the centers from the outstide zig-zag borders. Stamp Mercer Rose background onto the yellow circle; Place the outside zig zag border from the Polka Polka paper together on the base card.
3. Cut the Prim Poppy (#98310) from black licorice cardstock (#44022); tuck the poppy stems beneath the polka dot layer. Cut a second poppy in black and layer only the petal portion.
4. Add pale yellow suede trim and paper flower to finish!
