Happy Easter, Bunny!

Okay, so it's not Easter yet, but I'll post it anyway.  I found this Darice embossing folder on Etsy and of course, I wanted it.  I only saw one example of a card made with this folder and I took the idea and ran with it.  The listing on Etsy says it's an A2 size, but I beg to differ.  I don't have it in front of me, but I believe this card is a 5 X 7.  Take a look.
 
 
Not the greatest picture, sorry, as it is already in it's plastic sleeve.  For the dots on the eggs I just did a little painting with bleach and water.  Whenever you want to do light over dark I recommend you try paining with bleach water.  Even if the color doesn't turn out at least you can color over it with a marker.  For the Crumb Cake main piece that was embossed when I tested it with bleach water the color came out Barely Banana like.  So I matted the Crumb Cake with Barely Banana and Perfect Plum, I believe.  The ribbon is also Perfect Plum and folded in half.  Had to use my Big Bite to get those holes that far into the cardstock.  The stamp is from Eggstra Special Easter from Lawn Fawn and I think it is in Crumb Cake ink as well. - Heidi

Frozen's Olaf at Easter

A co-worker and I were talking about her grandchildren.  She wanted something for them for Easter.  Her grandson, Greyson, likes Disney's Frozen.  I found this FREE printable Valentine on Pintrest here.  I just printed it out and added on a few things to make this card.


Cardstock: Pacific Point, Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi, Green Galore, Daffodil Delight, Close to Cocoa, variety for the Easter Eggs and white to print Olaf on and for the bunny ears (along with Blushing Bride).

Stamps: Year Round Happiness from Papertrey Ink.

Ink: Wild Wasabi from Stampin' Up.

Die: One Liners: Happy Die from Papertrey Ink.

Punches: small oval, Easter Basket and grass from Martha Stewart and 1" circle.

I hope Greyson likes the card!  I hope you enjoyed it also! - Heidi

Dancing Chicks


Funny how the mind works? I was watching Sesame Street with my son and saw these dancing chicks counting to 12. They looked like pears with circles for legs and ovals for wings. Nip the tip off of the big star punch and punch yourself some Chocolate Chip snowflakes and you'll have a beak and feet. Sponge him a little shadow using the paper you punched the oval out of and there you are. He's plump and festive. Enjoy! - Heidi
