Easter Cross

Today is the first day of spring and, I think, appropriately I should post an Easter card that I made for my Mom!  I saw this card on pinterest here.  So pretty with the gold cross!  The empty cross symbolizing Christ resurrection which we are all thankful.   I made it into a gatefold, easel card.  For the instructions to make it just click here.  Graphic 45 paper just makes the card so pretty!  The cross is from the SU sizzix die and the flowers are SU 5-petal punch. Check out the pictures of the sentiment and the card closed below. It will be Easter before you know it!

I always loved singing this song in church on Easter Sunday! So appropriate for this card!

Sorry that this card is sideways but for some reason couldn't rotate it.  The card is closed with a pretty ribbon and flower from Michael's.  I think I got it in the $1 bin.  Happy Easter!

Fun Easter Basket!

 This is a fun Easter basket to make.  I had a Stampin up party last weekend and we made these. If you go to www.stamptv.com the instructions for this basket are there and so easy. My sisters brought all the material to make the basket and we just decorated them on our own. They did the hard part and left the fun part of decorating it to us.  You can decorate it on both sides or all four sides.  I just did it on 2 sides. Thanks Chris and Connie for this fun project!!!

This just says Spring to me!

Easter Husband Card!

I just didn't feel like I had made enough bunnies for Easter and when I came across this saying on Splitcoast, I thought  this would be a cute card for my husband. I made a white bunny with Pretty in Pink sponging on the side of the bunny.  The funky fold card is a definite favorite type of card for me. I combined a little of spring with the paper and the butterflies on the side with a  cute Easter bunny.  I made another bunny card that I am going to send to my son in California from both my husband and I.  He will get a kick out of it!  The bunny for Eric is pink with some of Valita's tulips.  Thanks again Valita, I love your tulips!!!

Used some sizzix die grass and cuttlebug EF for this card. MS butterfly punch on the flowers on the side! Thanks for looking!

Spring Tulips

Valita's tulip owl punch card is so pretty, I wanted to give it a try for an Easter card for my mom.  I just got the spellbinders Labels #10 nestabilities and used it for the background behind the purple tulip with DP from SU.  Check out  Valita's blog for the instructions on the tulip and the leaves-had fun making it and gonna give it another try tomorrow.  Come back and see!  Valita's blog  is found at http://valitasfreshfolds.blogspot.com/

Easter Fun!

Here is another cute bunny/chick card. Alot of punches used for these cute little creatures. My sister, Connie, gave me the instructions a while ago for the Stand Up Card, (She made me one for my birthday last year)  so this is my first experiment with this type of card.  It took me a couple of days to think about the design of the card but I hope you like it.  I was going to put Happy Easter on the bunny's feet but decided to put it in the inside of the card instead.  The bunny is all punches from SU, oval, heart, round. The grass is sizzix and the tiny butterflies are from K& Company Grand Adhesions

I used Velcro fasteners for the bunny but I think next time I am going to adhere the left side and use velcro for the right side. The center of the card is the sizzix easter basket and some pretty sticker eggs I found at Michael's. The cute little chick is smaller than what I have seen on SC but same idea using the 1 3/8 inch scallop punch from SU.  The sentiment is something I found on the internet which I thought was fun for an easter basket theme. The left side behind the bunny is just an assortment of flowers from punches and dies that I have with the vine being the SU bird punch.  Another idea for the next time is to use one of my Cuttlebug EF for the background behind the Easter basket.

More Easter cards to come!  Thanks for coming!

Easter Bunny & Eggs

Since I did a Easter Duck, of course, I had to do an Easter Bunny!  I made this bunny  last year but made an Easter Bunny Box (see my SCS gallery for more info- beechwood) The basket is actually Tim Holtz die cut bird cage upside down! The handle is nestabilities oval.  The bunny is different SU punches oval, round and nesties paisley for the body.  The eggs and "little bunny" are stickers from Michael's. This side step fold is so much fun!

Easter Wishes

Little Donald before he grew up!  I saw this on MrsBoz gallery and had to give it a try with the side step fold.  Changed it up a little with the eyes and feet but still adorable! The head and body is the ornament punch from SU. His feet are nesties scallop circle as well as his hands.  His beak are SU oval punches.  "Loads of Love Assessories" is the sentiment.  The eggs and little bunnies are stickers from, I think, Michael's.  I had a lot of fun designing this card at the wee hours of the morning.  I seem to get more inspiration when things aren't so hectic and  it is quiet.   Anyone else feel like that?  I added some more pictures  of different angles of this card.  Enjoy!
