Your So Tweet

 One final Easter card for you. I made this one for my youngest granddaughter.

For this card once again I started with some heavy weight card stock that I cut, scored and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I cut some blue card stock down to 4 1/8" X 5 3/8".  My patterned paper is from the Echo Park Welcome Easter Collection 6" X 6" paper pad and was cut down to 4" X 5 1/4".  I adhered the patterned paper to the blue mat and attached it to my card base.

The chick is made using a die that was included in the Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Easter kit. I think he is so cute! I cut him using some of the yellow card stock that was included in the kit. They eyes, cheeks, and beak were cut from some scrap card stock from my stash.

I assembled my chick's face using some liquid glue.  The chick cuts in two separate pieces. I popped up the top half of my chick using some foam tape and then adhered his tummy to the card flat using more liquid adhesive. I love the effect that gave to him.

My sentiments are from the Hippity Hoppy stamp set that were included in the kit. I stamped them using some of the Simon Says Stamp Hybrid Melon ink cube also included in the kit. I used my Mini Misty to stamp them on a scrap of heavy weight white card stock. I then stamped them again using Versamark ink and hit embossed them with clear embossing powder. I popped up the sentiments using some foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hoppy Easter

 

One more Easter card for your viewing pleasure. This one I made for my oldest grandson.

For this card I started with heavy weight white card stock cut, scored and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I cut my patterned paper to 4" X 5 1/4" and adhered it to my card base. The patterned paper is from the Doodlebug Hippity Hoppy 6" X 6" paper pad.

Next I stamped my images using the Simon Says Stamp You Make Me Hoppy stamp set that was included in their limited edition Easter card kit. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the images. I did some very simple coloring with some copic markers and used the matching dies to cut the images out.

Next I used a Sunny Studio Stitched Semi-Circle die to cut out another piece of heavy weight card stock. I used some Tumbled Glass distress ink and a MFT cloud stencil to create my sky. I used a Lawn Fawn grassy border die to create grass for my scene. I cut the grassy border with the same Sunny Studio Stitched Semi-Circle die to create the perfect fitting grassy border using a piece of leftover patterned paper from another Easter project. I then adhered the grassy border to the white panel that had my sky on it.

Finally I adhered my images to the scene with some foam tape and liquid adhesive. I added some Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard to the Easter egg and added a little carrot embellishment to the left of the bunny. The carrot is from another Buttons Galore Sparklitz Embellishment set called Bunny Trail.

I appreciate you stopping by to take a look. Good news, I only have one more Easter card to make. Then I move on to birthday cards for all the spring birthdays in my family.

Here Comes the Easter Bunny

 

Today I have another Easter card for you. I started with a white card base cut, scored, and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card.  I used My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Rectangle dies to cut my patterned paper. The patterned paper I think is from Doodlebug. It is an older paper pad and I no longer have the cover so don't know the name of it. Sorry.

My bunny image is from a die set from Sizzix's called Easter Icons.  I added some cute little egg sprinkles from Buttons Galore Sprinkletz Collection called Easter Eggs. They were the perfect size.

I white heat embossed my sentiment using a stamp from the Honeybee Stamps Hoppy Easter stamp set.  I added my green panel I added to my carrot paper with foam tape and adhered everything down to my card base with some liquid glue.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit today.

Some Bunny Loves You!

I recently bought the CardzTV Easter Punnies stamp set  and just had to make a card with it.  I decided to make a tall card..  I started with a white card stock cut and folded to make a 4" X 9" card base. I added a bright pink mat cut at 3 3/4" X 8 3/4".  I then added the pastel polka dotted mat cut at 3 1/2" X8 1/2".

I cut my bunny at 7" with my Cricut Explore and Design Space.  The bunny is from the Create a Critter 2. I attached him flat to the card and then added a little grass border.

To finish the card I added some faux stitching with my white gel pen on the bow tie.  Finally I added some enamel dots to the upper corners.  I think I am going to give this card to my grandson Aiden.

3d Easter Wreath

It is that time once again for a new 3D challenge over at CardzTV. The challenge is to make a 3D project for Easter. Now I thought about an Easter basket, and an Easter box to hold some candy, but then I saw this wreath in the Silhouette store and just knew it was what I wanted to make!

I cut the wreath at the default size it came up on my mat. I cut four of the circle bases and adhered them together to make sure the base was sturdy enough. I cut the leaves flowers and used a wooden skewer to curl them to make them more natural looking. I then adhered the leaves to the wreath base.

Next I cut the base layers of the eggs out of white and the decorative layers out of the Core' de nations sand able paper. I embossed each of the different decorative layered colors with different embossing folders before sanding and adhering to my eggs. I then adhered the eggs to my wreath and then the flowers.

To finish the wreath I used my Tim Holtz tiny attacher to attach a loop of ribbon to the back of the wreath so I could hang it. Using a separate piece of ribbon I tied a bow closer to the wreath. Then I use the CardzTV Going in Circles stamp set to stamp Happy Easter on a bright yellow card stock and punched it out using my 1 1/4" punch. I put the sentiment into the center of an extra flower and added a pink button. Finally I tide a tiny bow out of a scrap of the blue ribbon and attached it to my button with a glue dot.

Now it is your turn. Make a 3D project for Easter and share it with us at CardzTV. Mary is giving away a set of her stamps so be sure to get your project link for your chance to win a set of her awesome stamps!!

Happy Easter Basket

I took today off and ended up playing most of the day. Had a lot of fun and came up with this Easter Basket, I found the little basket at the Dollar store along with the egg picks. I used the Garden Soup Cricut Cartridge to cut my flowers out at 3". I tried to match the colors in the flowers on the basket. I used my glue gun and attached them to wooden skewers. I used my Tim Holtz scissors to cut the skewers off a little because they were too long. I cut my little bunnies from the Doodlecharms cartridge. I cut one bunny at 3" and one at 2". I used a black gel pen to draw in his whiskers and mouth. I used some pewter colored small pearls for the bunny's eyes and some pink chalk to add some light pink to the inside of his ears and to his cheeks. I cut the Happy Easter at 2" from the Easter Season Cartridge from 2010 and added some Star Dust stickles to it. To finish the basket I put in some of the crinkle cut grass and removed the remaining eggs from the picks and just placed in the basket on top of the grass.

I entered this project in the following challenges:
