I don't know why the pale plum does not show up well,
but the patterned area extends just beyond top of flower.

Easter Cards 2014

A couple weeks late in sharing these, I know, but better late than never, right? In hind sight, I wish I'd chosen a slightly "darker" yellow, as the pale one I used looks more white than yellow in the photos.

MATERIALS:

Stamps: Celebrate Spring (Studio G)
Ink: Basic Black (SU)
Paper: Darice and The Paper Company
Accessories: Build-a-Blossom Punch (SU), Build-an-Owl Punch (SU), Presto White Out Pen (Pental), Grosgrain Ribbon from Offray and Michael's

Happy Easter

2013 Easter Cards - Part3

Just a couple more to share...

The first is part of a OSW set (see previous two posts). I'll have more of those to share later.



This one was made for my youngest niece.

I hope everyone has a great Easter!



STAMPS: Chick (Craft Smart/Michaels)
PAPER: La Creme and Cafe Mediterranean (DCWV)
INK: Basic Black (Stampin' Up)
ACCESSORIES: Markers, Brads, Grosgrain ribbon, Paper flowers (Hero Arts and Prima), Word Window punch (SU), Computer printed greetings

2013 Easter Cards - Part 2

Here are more of the Easter cards made this year. As mentioned yesterday, I used this template, created by Kathy at Splitcoaststampers, to make both Easter and birthday cards this month. One Sheet Wonder (OSW) templates are a great way to create a lot of cards in a short amount of time. You can see her beautiful samples here.

As her template was for a 6x6 sheet of paper yielding six cards, and my paper was actually 8x8, I netted 10 to 12 cards per sheet of designer paper. You can also see them on her blog.  

Here are another five examples of the cards made. Remember: I had multiples of some designs. Oh--for some reason the teal designer paper in the bottom two photos looks lighter than the first three pics, but it is in fact the same paper.

Here are close-ups of the two cards shown above:

STAMPS: None
PAPER: Cafe Mediterranean (DCWV)
INK: None
ACCESSORIES: Paper flowers (Hero Arts and Prima), Brads, Grosgrain ribbon, Computer-printed greetings, Word Window punch (Stampin' Up)

Bunny Hop

HAPPY EASTER!

I thought I night share some of the cards I made last weekend. I started with a box of prefolded/decorated cards from DCWV, a gift from a friend last year. I then used a variety of contrasting paper scraps for the punched bunnies and strips across the front. You will note there is one card with bunnies facing the opposite direction. I turned the patterned paper scrap upside down to get a right-facing rabbit instead of left-facing. This is a small punch, so it works best with smaller dots and patterns.















MATERIALS:
Stamps: None on outside
Paper: DCWV
Ink: None
Accessories: Prefolded cards (DCWV), Sitting Bunny punch (Martha Stewart)

Easter Bunny Who?

Who needs a bunny when you can have turkeys? I wonder if they've hidden any eggs around the neighborhood?

Happy Easter

Wishing you all a Very Happy Easter!
