Quick Easter Favors
I was busy playing with Sydney yesterday, so I did not make a card for today. But I am posting a photo of a variety of little Easter favors I made for the Cricut ladies. I used the Explore to cut everything, but you can easily do the same thing with our framelits and/or punches. The small Reese's peanut butter eggs fit perfectly on layered Oval framelits. The chocolate coins (Palmer candy) fit perfectly on a couple of our circle framelits and also on a couple of punches that are layered. I will be making these for Easter with a little sentiment banner added to the front. Happy Easter (Teeny Tiny Wishes) will be stamped in a coordinating ink color, cut using an Itty Bitty Framelit and adhered to the favor. A rhinestone colored with a Sharpie marker to match the cardstock will be the finishing touch on the banner. Now I just need to hide the Reese's peanut butter eggs from myself!!! Have a great day!

Pink & White Decorative Ball
This is what I spent the better part of yesterday working on in my
scrap room. It is very pretty but it took hours to complete. I think next time I make one of these I will use more of the solid color cardstock rather than sponging so much Whisper White cardstock. I will also be sure to have a little silk baby's breath to add. I adhered the flowers to a styrofoam ball with hot glue gun; pins were used to add folded ribbon pieces. Same decorative ball in both photos, different sides and different lighting. Now I need to get going as we will be picking up Sydney for a sleepover~~yeah!! Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Hello, My Friend
Happy first day of Spring! I have been enjoying the birds outside my office window again now that we have had a few warmer days recently. So needless to say, birds are appearing on my creations, including today's card. The fence is the Hardwood background stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock, cut into strips and rounded on one end. I adhered those strips on the front of the card to mimic a fence on which my little birds can perch. I am sure you recognize the bird as from Stampin' Up's bird builder punch. I punched birds, but they were a little too big for the layout on this card. So, I used my Explore to cut out smaller versions of the bird which I exported from MDS as an SVG file. I used an embossing folder to add a little texture to their wings. The "hello" is from the A Dozen Thoughts set and "my friend" from the Six-sided Sampler set. This is a card we will make at a future card class. It is cute and can be used for a variety of reasons/occasions. Have a great Spring day!

Pink Peaceful Petals
The card looks easy enough, right? Well, normally it would be fairly easy. But for some reason, I was not having a lot of luck. I must have stamped and cut (using the Scan N Cut) about 6 flowers. I was using markers and an aqua painter to color the flowers and I would get to the point of near completion and I would go way out of the line!! I get the card all assembled, go to the Score Board to add a couple of decorative lines at the bottom on the card and the stylus jumps the track~~unwanted indent in the card. What do do? Cut off that part of the card and replace it with a scalloped border piece of cardstock. The overlap of the edge is way too obvious. Thank goodness for the seam binding. And as I look at the photo of the card, I see where the water coloring wasn't too good. Oh well, I will be adding a little butterfly or two!! Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!

A Spring-like Day!
Tuesday night!! Anyway, yesterday at card class we made the roses. They all turned out very pretty and the ladies were all pleased with their creastions. Hopefully, by the next card class I will have a hanging rose ball, similar to the curled paper ones I made during the holidays. I will be working on that during the week. Over the weekend I did spend some time with my Cricut Explore. I was just making test cuts and wanted to share a couple of things I cut on the Explore. I punched a bird from the SU Bird Builder Punch. I then imported the bird punch SVG file from SU's digital program into the Cricut Design Space and cut large and medium sized versions of the bird and branch. And since I was playing with birds, I wanted to create a card using a bird from one of the Cricut images. So I cut out this cute little bird, layered her on embossed black cardstock and added a Cricut cut sentiment. Next project with the Explore is going to be cutting and writing on an image using the Explore for both! Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine and "warm" weather we have today!
