Easter Card - CPS Challenge

For this challenge over at CPS, I choose these brown papers. Part of the "new" line of paper from M. The stamp is stampendous; from M as well. Lots of glitter and liquid glass on this one!! The flowers were cut using PS at 1 inch and the brads and ribbon - also an M purchase.

Easter Card - 2 Challenges

I had a lot of fun making this "springy" card for the Cupcake Craft Challenge and the 2s4y challenge. I know, it is late and I am still wide awake...although my children usually wake by 7:30 am so I better get to bed soon!! I used my nesties for this one. Words are computer generated and the flower was cut using PS at 1.5 inches. The leaves were also cut using PS at 1.5 inches with glitter stack paper. I added little pearls to the nestie edge to go with the challenge. The paper and ribbon is from M. I am really enjoying the new paper selection at M...it's about time!!

Easter Card - Mojo Monday Challenge

This card was inspired by the Mojo Monday Blog. The stamp is one of the dollar deals at M. The skittles, ribbon and button are also from M. The flower was cut at 1.25 inches and shadowed with yellow glitter cardstock. The words are computer generated and I added liquid glass to the wings on the chick.

Easter Cards

Recently on the Cricut Message Board, SusieB posted a card she did a couple of years ago and it reminded me that I did a few like that last year as well. So I decided to make a bunch like that in different colors. The bunny was cut at 5.5 inches from the DC cart and the flowers at .75, 1 and 1.25 inches on the PS cart. I chalked the edges, nose and ears and added glitter to the centre flower and nose. These were so simple and very quick to make up; I did it as an assembly line..lol.

Easter Card

I am not overly impressed by this one...took hours and for what?? I took it apart a few tmes and I ended up leaving it this way. The bunny was cut from PDDU at 7 inches...used just the head. I chalked the edges for detail and glittered the flowers and bunny nose. The leaves were cut at 1 inch with the PS cart. I doodles the black lines around the edge of the card and used 3D paint for the dots. I used glitter paper pack for the background of the bunny and inside the flowers (used my hole punch for that).

Easter Card - Daring Cardmakers Challenge

I need to get a bunch of easter cards done for my next sale...here it goes, this one is for the Daring Cardmakers. For this challenge, patchwork was the dare. I cut squares at 3.4 inches and doodled on each one to make it appear as patches (as I have a sewing machine-but don't know how to use it...lol). I used nesties for the scalloped circles and the stamp is a M dollar stamp from last year. I added liquid glass to the chick and the words are computer generated (I ran out of ink-the words were faded so I had to use a marker over the words). The stars were from a CM punch...more dusting off before using...lol.

Easter Card

I am obsessed with the bunny on the PDDU cart...this one is cut at 8 inches and I used only the head for this card. The eyes are cut out, so what I did - placed black cardstock behnd the bunny and used 3D paint to make the eyes more realistic. I decided to not put whiskers as I already ruined one bunny this size trying that out. I guess the bigger the bunny, the less it needs?? The bling paper is from the glitter stack and the green background is Bazzill. Prima flowers, ribbon and cute green buttons, all from M. The scalloped edging is from that same old fiskar scissors. I was undecisive with the flowers; hearts or flowers?? My husband voted for the flowers...here's to you sweetheart :)

Easter Card

I saw this card going in a different direction. Def not one of my fav cards but I am determined to publish what I create as that will gve me new perspective :) I cut the bunny from PDDU at 4 inches real dial size and the flowers from PS cart at 0.75 inch. The stamp is from M - their dollar easter stamp. I added colorful brads and bling to finish it off.

Easter card

I think those M dollar stamps are adorable....here is another easter one!!! No cricut but did use my CB to emboss the background spring colors. I added the grass as the stamp was pretty lonely. The black buttons are from M and I added liquid glass to the bunny's heart. Plain but bright and springy.

Challenge of the Day - January 29th

Today's card is from 2S4Y challenge. I love the little house mouse characters, here is an easter one!! The purple heart and pearls are from my stash and the ribbon is from M. I used DMC floss to create the "balloon". I also pulled out an old pair of scissors to edge the purple cardstock. The words are computer generated and the stamp is aligned afterwards. I used pop up dots on the border with the rbbon and the heart balloon.
