Easter...

Love the layout...not so in love with the colors...and I think the egg needed to be put on a layer and popped up...oh well....

Happy Easter Chick

Love this LAYOUT!!!!

Happy Easter!

Isn't this card stunning? (if I say so myself?)  The cross is embossed with gold embossing powder...the vines in the background are from Vintage Vogue set...wait till you see this card re-done as a Communion card!

There's also a score line 3/8 inch all around to add a subtle border....

Timely Easter Cards

This morning I woke up and thought "Oh crap!  I better get myself into gear for Easter!"  It snuck up on me!

I made these cards last week for my friend, Kim...isn't it always better when someone asks you to make a card for them?  At least you don't procrastinate!

The Chocolate Bunny is a retired stamp, but still available on MDS...he just screams to be embossed, so that's just what I did.  I also embossed the D/S paper in the Big Shot with the Swiss Dots folder.

The Flower card is an exact CASE from Dawn Olchefske...colors and all!  I think I'm going to bring this one back for Mother's Day!...also birthday...get well....

A big BUNNY thanks!

A big thanks goes out to my mom for these adorable bunny cards she sent to us....she's now a punch addict like me!

Happy Easter!

        Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter!  I'll hopefully get a chance to stamp this week with the kids going back to school...as much as I love a break, I love the routine of school because when the kids (& hubby) are all home, I never seem to fit in a stamping session!  


           Enjoy you day!

Too cute chick!

Isn't she cute?  It's a she, of course, cuz she has a pink egg, right?!  I stamped the background strips with the circle dots from this stamp set (A Good Egg) in Versamark....then stamped the chick 3 times--once on the white circle, once in yellow for the chick and once on the pink striped paper...cut out and assembled and done!  Love it!

Doh!

Here's a card I decided to make for our monthly Demo meeting this coming Monday (for our Make-n-Take) but then I read on someone else's blog that the bunny stamp is only available as a digital image...ugh!...now I have to design another card!...but I still love this one....

The grass and the flowers are from the Vintage Vogue set....the bunny is embossed with clear embossing powder...

Rich Razzleberry, Early Expresso, Pretty In Pink (I got this color combo from the color coach) ....the grass is Wild Wasabi....

A Beary Happy Easter!

Is is a bear or a bunny? Well, both! I cut off the Build-a-Bear ears and replaced them with oval punches and Voila! Peter Cottontail! Happy Easter to you!

Hoppy Easter Scrapbook Page

Here's the scrapbook layout I promised using the Build-a-Bear 'bunnies'...check out the boy's vest--it's the shoes layered as a vest! Too cute! I also added a cute gold necklace to the girl from the 'Lovely' Sizzlit...

Have a Beary Hoppy Easter!

I am doing the Woodbridge Middle School Crop this Saturday and I will have these Build-a-Bear bears as one of my Make-n-Takes....the 'Hoppy' diecut that has the bunny ears and the basket also cuts out one egg....but who has time to run that die through for all those eggs??? So I took the Daisy punch and cut my eggs from that! And it even made it easier to attach the 'eggs' to the basket! Check back Wednesday for a scrapbook page I made using these adorable bears!

So Sweet (and scallopy) Easter Basket!

I found this adorable mini easter basket on Lisa Freeman's blog...and it's so simple that you could whip up several of them for kiddie gifts or table settings in no time! Just take the large scallop square diecut from Sizzix and cut out a square from some Designer series Paper and score each side at the 3rd scallop from the edge....then cut the score lines on only two opposite sides...and form your box! Then take a strip of coordinating paper (measuring about 6 x 3/4 inches) and attach as the handle with some brads....decorate the front (here I used that yummy Chocolate Bunny) and fill...I was able to fit 4 chocolate Easter coins inside, but you can fill with jelly beans, or about 5 Hershey's Kisses....anything! Isn't this just too cute and easy??!!

Punch Bunny!

I saw this adorable bunny made from scallop punches and I couldn't resist! I scoured through my kids' arts-n-crafts bins for the pom pom for the tail. Now I have to go out and get more 'cottontails'!

Yummy Chocolate Bunnies!

When I saw this single stamp, I just new that it screamed "EMBOSS ME"!!!! And so I complied! It is so adorable...and with just a few punched flowers, it makes a great card! And the best thing about it is that you can use any pastel colors and they all match together!

Happy Egg-ster!

I went glitter-crazy with these Easter cards! I used the embossing folders to create the texture on the Certainly Celery....some Heat-n-Stick powder and Dazzling Diamonds on the egg...and some flower brads that I got from Michael's....I posted a close up of the glitter egg...I hope you can see it....

Am I crazy, or what?

Yes, I know it's December, but I'm just so sick of making Christmas cards! And I still have more to make! And I'm sick of red and green! So I decided to make an Easter card...maybe I should have made the chick a Christmas chick with a Santa hat??!!
