2 Easter Cards

Hi all! Finally had a chance to create with the Greetery's Spring release.

This set, Easter Jubilee, came with just about everything I needed to make

my Easter cards.

While the set was on my desk I made 2 cards, 2 different color ways. 

You start with stenciling, and stamping, and die cuts finish the card.

2 layers of contrasting Cardstock were added to each letter.

The second card began with cutting the letters out with purple glitter paper.

I tried to vary the color up a bit using Betsy's method of sponging ink onto

the stamp.

You can see the aqua cardstock behind the letters.

These were fun and easy, and I think I'll do a few more. 

You know that song in Aunty Mame, 'We Need a Little Christmas'?

Well, I think we definitely need a BIG Easter right now. 

Put decorations out. Add some spring joy to your front yard for the

neighbors to enjoy. Bake your favorites.

and May this most Holy season bring you peace and joy knowing

our God loves you, and has a plan for your life.

God Bless you.

Stay safe!

12 Kits March '16 Spring Fling

It's Spring, and it's time for the 12 Kit's of Occasions post.

It's Michelle Leone's month to  provide our theme,

'Spring Fling'

and just look at the goodies she sent us!

I couldn't stop putting together colors and die cuts, even the cutest

clothespin with wood bird attached! 

Well, just have a look!

1st off, this sassy bunny, perfect for coloring with watercolor pencils.

So many Eastery designer papers, among them, this colorful 

egg paper which I used for the colors on Miss bunny.

Michelle sent these sweet bunny die cuts, which I brown inked a bit and

mounted over a vellum tag with fussy cut Easter eggs.

Everything you see here was included in Michelle's kit, 

right down to the fluffy bunny tail!

So in love with this basket weave die, I had to order it!

It's from Frantic Stamper.

I used one of my tags in the kit to make this spring birthday card,

and colored the 'birthday' sentiment.

Oh yes, there's more!

Once again, one of those adorable bunny die cuts!

This time a shaker, with some of the seed beads and flower sequins. 

the radish was fussy cut. Don't you just love the basket weave in kraft?

(I think Frantic Stamper will be overrun after all our posts!)

This tag came stamp colored. All I did was add the GA, and pink dots.

I fussy cut a few of the leftover flowers from this adorable 2 sided dp.

A happy Easter card with more bunnies!

Fussy cut carrots and added those sweet pastel sequins!

This PTI tag was included.

Just had to fussy cut some of the stamped flowers and include them.

Along with that darling bird pin!

So many unique elements made for a happy spring kit!

Would you believe I have more left over?

Loved it all, Michelle, Thank You!!!
