Easter Cards

Hello crafty friends!

Since Easter is just around the corner, I thought

I'd show you the simple cards I made for my

grandkids last year.

I sketched out the shape of a "Peep" and

cut it with a fold at the top of the ears.

I used glitter paper to imitate the sugar on

the Peeps.

I mounted the Peeps onto a base and 

to open it, the Peep lifts up and I

stamped a sentiment inside.

I don't know why I don't have a picture of

the card open, but hopefully, you get the idea.

These were quick and easy cards to make

and the kids loved them.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have been inspired in some way.

Come again soon,

until then

make something unexpected.

 

Easter Cards

Hello and happy spring!

With spring comes Easter

Easter isn't for another month, but if you're making

cards, now is the time to give them a little thought.

Here are a couple Easter cards that I'd like to share

with you.

I made this card for my sweet great niece and 

Goddaughter.  The egg was cut from a piece of 

paper that I colored with my Granddaughter, Marie.

We used food coloring and shaving cream, swirled it

a bit then laid the card stock on the shaving cream.

Once you wipe off the shaving cream you have a 

lovely, marbled look.

We had a lot of fun doing this.

The bunny was hand drawn and cut from another piece 

of the hand colored paper.

Here's a closer picture of my sweet little

bunny.

This bunny and eggs were also made from the

same type of paper as the card above.  

I printed the sentiment inside with my 

ink jet printer before adding the front panel.

This card was made for my great nephew.

I love to try to make him laugh with 

my cards.

Thanks for stopping in today for a visit,

I hope you are having beautiful spring weather

where ever you are.

Come again soon,

until then,

get started on those Easter cards.

 

Kids Easter Cards

Hi all!
I know it's way past Easter, but I wanted to share these
2 cards that I made for a couple of my greats.
If you have been checking in, you know
that I had all my cards made and ready to go,
but they didn't get sent,
but these 2 did.  They arrived the day after Easter,
but the kids loved them anyway.

For Anthony, I made this card.
I cut out 2 rabbits that I had files for on my Silhouette, Cameo
and altered them for the card.
I received a message from my niece that Anthony
said it was the funniest card yet.
I was so pleased that he liked it.

For Andrea, who is my unicorn lover,
I made this "bunnycorn" as she called it.
I used my Silhouette to cut the pieces and
drew the face on with black marker.
The horn was made with gold glitter card stock.
She loved her bunycorn card.

Thanks for stopping in today, I hope you have enjoyed
your visit and will come again soon.
Until next time,
happy crafting.

Easter Cards, A Design For Any Occasion

Hello Blog friends!
You know how they  say, the best laid plans often go awry?
Well that's what happened with my Easter cards.
I had my cards made over a month in advance,
but then my Aunt Marilyn got pneumonia and I had to go
to North Carolina.  I ended up being there for 3 weeks and
then when I got back it was only a couple days before
Easter, so the cards never got sent.
I guess I can figure that I'm all ready for next year.

The cards all had the same design, stamps and embossing,
the panel that they were made with were each a little different.
All from the same paper, but different areas of it.
The leaf stamp is from
Dyan Reaveley Further Around The Edge 
Stamp Set
The Happy Easter is a stamp I borrowed from a friend.
I stamped with VersaMark Ink and
heat embossed with
Purple Zing Embossing Powder.
This design could easily be used for any
occasion, just change the sentiment and you'll be
all set.
Thanks for stopping by today,
I hope you are having a wonderful spring
and will come again soon.

Somebunny Loves You

Hi All!

I'm here with a couple more Easter cards for you.

These cards could actually be used in other ways, 

by just putting a different sentiment inside.

I think they'd make great encouragement cards.

I stamped "Daydreaming Bunny" onto white card stock 

and colored him with colored pencils, then fussy cut him.

I adhered him to the card front with an Action Wobble.

The background papers are from my scrap stash.

Here is my other one, done with different colors and 

papers. The sentiment is "Some bunny"

Inside I stamped a simple Happy Easter.

Both cards are a kraft card stock base.

I hope these cards bring a smile to those who receive them.

Hope you like them too,

thanks for stopping in today.

See you again soon,

until then,

don't eat too much chocolate!

Cross with Flowers

Hello Everyone!

Here are a couple more Easter cards I made.

These are both one layer cards.

I stamped 

Cross with Flowers

onto white card stock and colored them

with colored pencils.

I did color the background very lightly with 

blue as the white was a little to stark.

This toned it down just the right amount.
They were simply adhered to a blue card base

and Happy Easter was stamped inside.

Thanks for stopping in today,

I hope you've been enjoying this

Easter card series.

Until next time,

color something beautiful.

Dorky Bird

Hi crafty friends!

Back again with a couple Easter cards.

These cards are a little different than the

average Easter card.

I guess the only thing that makes them 

Easter is the inside.

I love this Dorky Bird and thought it would

be cute to use for Easter cards.

I stamped, colored and fussy cut it, then

adhered it to the card with an Action Wobble

I think the Action Wobble makes it look like she is

waving. 

The background papers are from my scrap stash.

Inside I added a panel that I stamped and colored.

I used Happy Easter and simply colored them 

different for each card.

Now just to get them addressed and sent out.

Thanks for popping in,

I hope you're getting ready for Easter,

I know I am.

Until next time,

keep calm and carry on.

Little Bunny

Hello!  Welcome back.

Easter is almost here and I'm showing y'all 

some of the cards I made.  Guess I better get them

ready to send out, eh?

Today I'm showing you 3 cards of the same 

design.

I had stamped and colored these little bunnies,

then couldn't decide what to do with them.

They are "Bunny With Flowers"

They seemed much too small to just put on the 

front of a card.

Then I came up with the idea of putting them on

a small folded piece and adding that to a larger 

background piece.

Inside the small "cards" I simply stamped

"Happy Easter"

I love this Easter greeting, I don't know what 

company this is from, I got it in a set that was on

clearance, because it had no outer package and one

greeting was missing.

I decided the background of the "little card" needed

something, so I used a small stamp and

added some flowers to the background.

That was just the right addition to finish it off.

All the backgrounds were from my stash

and were all done on watercolor paper

and water colors of one kind or another.

Here's a close up of this last card,

I used a different little flower stamp for this one.

All the bunnies were colored with colored pencils

and then fussy cut.  They were adhered with foam tape to

the little card and it was adhered to the background with 

ATG tape.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

think outside the box and try something

a little different.

3 More Cards

Greetings fellow crafters!

Today I have the last 3 of the Easter cards

that I made.

For this card I used 

Cross With Flowers from 

Eureka Stamps

I stamped it with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

and colored it with colored pencils.

I used Distress Ink to add a little color around the

image.

I inked the background for this card with 

Distress Inks and stamped the grass with 

Field Grass Right

from Biblical Impressions.

I cut strips of brown card stock to make the basket.

I wove the strips then used ATG Tape to adhere it to

a piece of card stock.  I then trimmed it into the basket

shape.

The eggs were stamped, colored and fussy cut, then adhered

with Mini Glue Dots to the card.

My last card is a shaker card.

I stamped the Happy Easter onto the card base,

then added the shaker window over it.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

Until next time:

Enjoy being creative!

Easter Blessings

Hello all!

Today I have a few more Easter cards to show you.

I don't know what companies these stamps

are from, I borrowed them from a friend 

and have no clue.

Sorry.

I stamped this bunny onto Kraft card stock and colored

it with colored pencils.  I trimmed it down and

mounted it onto the same paper the sentiment

is stamped on, then onto white card stock.

All stamping was done with 

VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

These 2 cards are made with the same papers, but 

from different sections of the paper.

I'm not sure if I like the one with the ribbon better

or the one with out.

I do think they both turned out very nice though.

I'm glad you stopped by and I hope you've 

been inspired in some way.

Have you started on your Easter cards?
