Wraskally Wabbit!

Isn't he cute?

He's looking a little googly-eyed, but he's still darned cute!

Wanna see him up close and personal?



He's made entirely with punches!

I found him on someone's website - or maybe it was Split Coast? I don't remember, sorry to say - so if it was you I CASEd him from, THANK YOU!

We made him at my Team Meeting this past Monday, and everyone fell in love with him, too!

I'm SUCH a visual person - you can write the directions til the cows come home and I will not be able to follow them.

But, give me a picture, and I'm off and running!

So, here's your visual of what it takes to make Mr. Wraskally Wabbit:


I used the XL scallop punch, the large scallop punch (1 & 1/2 times), the large and small oval punches, the 1" and the 3/4" circle punches. I used one of the flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch. And of course, a smaller circle punch for his eyes. And last but not least, the smallest heart from the Heart to Heart Extra Large punch.

Pretty simple, eh?

Generally, all I have to do is have a visual, and I can usually figure out how to make things like this.

But how in the world did the first person to come up with this even SEE Wraskally in all those punches???

So, in the first photo above, all I did was attach Wraskally to a petal cone die piece that I made exactly as it was cut by the die.



As you can see, it's long and narrow, so I had to put a small chocolate covered marshmallow bunny inside, as that's about all that will fit. The square chocolates from Girardelli will fit, too...







And here's another idea:




A cute little Easter Basket! This one was made using two of the petal cone die cuts.

I want to make a tutorial for this one, so I'm going to leave you hanging and swinging - no instructions for this one tonight! You'll have to keep checking back to see how it's made!

Hey do you realize there exactly ONE MORE WEEK of Sale-A-Bration?

Yep, that's right - -one more week to get your FREE STAMPS when you make a $50 purchase.

So, what can I order for you?

Thanks for stopping by - come back soon!

And the Point Is

This is a leftover from Valentine's Day that I haven't shared with you, for some reason.

It's the new Mr. Big die from the Occasions mini called Petal Cone (Item 121810).

This cone was actually made using TWO pieces cut using the die.

I used Cherry Cobbler CS (I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this color! You NEED some!) for the main part of the cone, and then ran some Whisper White CS thru to make the scallops around the top.

The scallop piece is part of the die, but in some instances (like this one), I like the look of another color to give it some pop.

Before I put it all together, I used the "Bliss" stamp set (SAB - FREE with a $50 purchase!) and embossed with white embossing powder. I added some seam binding so I could hang this cone.

And then I stamped a Valentine greeting on a piece of Newsprint DSP, and adhered it to the little banner piece that is also cut on the die.

It's a little too long, so I sort of "furled" it when adhering it to the cone itself.

Wouldn't this make a really cute May Day gift - fill it with small flowers or candy and hang it on someone's door - and then run away! ha ha

Here's a close up so you can see it a little better.


I've been playing around with more than two of these Petal Cone die cuts and came up with something that looks like an upside down lampshade - I thought it would look cute with potpourri in it. Evidently I didn't take a photo of it so I could share it.

I'll post more pix of the things I've done with this die soon.

In the meantime - don't you need this die for YOUR Mr. Big?

Thanks for stopping by - come back soon!
