Happy Easter!

The eggs have all been found (except for 1 real one outside, I hope we find it before summer comes) and the kids are on their expected sugar high.

Here's my cards I made for the kids' teachers. The top bunny is made out of punches: 3 med oval punches, 1 1/4" circle, 1 1/2" circle. I sponged the edges with ink to make the bunny stand out more.



This one is out of punches too =)

Clouds from the cupcake punch, eggs from the large oval and the grass is cut from my Silhouette. I stamped background images on the eggs and used Heat & Stick powder to adhere the glitter.
Hope everyone has a fantabulous day!

Bunny Bunny Who's Got the Bunny?

I'm so excited for this card! I love the colors and I've had this stamp and couldn't figure a use for it. Enter Fun Flock, and Crystal Effects =)

Sketch comes from Sweet Sunday Sketch #109. I needed something bright after a few days of the warmer colors. Rose Red is one of my colors I just got and so glad I did. It's so bright and can go in either a bright or dark color direction.

Now these bunnies are a $1 stamp out of the dollar bin at Michael's last year, coulda been the year before but I'm not positive. I just know it's been in my box for a while now without being used.

I've been having fun using the fun flock and it made these bunnies go from boring to bright in just a few seconds. Now, notice the buttons under the bunnies...wanna know how to make 'em? I got the idea HERE at Yolanda's blog. Super easy, just punch out some paper, put on top of a glue dot, cover in Crystal Effects....wa-al instant embellishment. I can't wait to try this with my Itty Bitty punches!





Ingredients:
{Paper} SU! Rose Red, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Brights DSP
{Ink} SU! Basic Black
{Stamp} Dollar bin outta Michaels
{Extras} Crystal Effects, Fun Flock, 1/4" circle punch, 1/8" circle punch, ribbon, glue dots

Easter Basket w/Eggs!

How did Wednesday get here already? I'm half way through my vacation and haven't done half of what I wanted. Why does that always happen?! I finally got my box-o-goodies yesterday right before 5 o'clock! I heard the doorbell, literally ran to get the door and thanked the delivery guy and ran back in to open the fun. The reason is because I had a card in mind and NEEDED the oval punches to finish it. I'm not the only one to do this right? =)

I peeked in at Leena's card here and fell in love with the baskets filled with eggs. Such a simple idea and so easy. I've never done anything punch-arty but this was fun. The basket is the cupcake wrapper and the handle is the lg and med oval punch. The eggs are my personal favorite, I just punched the sm heart with some random DSP I had laying on my desk. I adhered the eggs kinda sideways so that only one side of the heart stuck out so they looked like eggs. Once I had the card together the green strip was blank at first. Since I got the Itty Bitty Bits & punch for Sale-A-Bration I added 5 flowers punched and adhered to the green strip. Wa-la! Instant Easter card!

Alrighty I'm off to work on more cards and play with my goodies. I need to get some easy things together for an Easter workshop =)

I have a love/hate relationship with the "other guys" who deliver Stampin' UP! packages. I hate waiting but love when it gets here! So here I am on vacation waiting for the delivery guy to come =( I figured since I was away for a few days I'd share a card, not a great one but a card nonetheless.

This card's sketch comes courtesy of Tracy over at Eat, Sleep, Stamp. This is Sketchy Thursday #120. I made this last night when we got back. The swirl design is debossed from an embossing folder. It was originally embossed the right way but I didn't get the design to the bottom completely so I folded it the other direction and covered the bottom with DSP. That's why I love papercrafting. I can screw up something and then make it look good =)

Since my oval punches are awaiting delivery I got out my Cricut and cut the egg design from last year's Easter 2010 cartridge. The colors again are outta my zone so hopefully tonight I can get my color mojo back and make some "good" cards.

It's 4 now so hopefully he shows up soon!!!!! I NEED my box of goodies =) So this is what it's like when people call me waiting for their package to show up and its not there yet....


Ingredients:
{Paper} SU! Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Bashful Blue, Pink Pirouette, Peach Parfait. DCWV flower DSP
{Extras} Swirl and polka dot embossing folder, Cricut Easter 2010 cartridge
