Hedgehog Happiness Easter

This is another Easter Card I came up with using Hedgehog Happiness (what a fun versatile set). I stamped the focal image and then masked the wagon to put the bunnies in the wagon. I colored with copic markers, (I tried to do some flicking for her fur). I added a bit of bling on the wheels, some glitter (just a bit) to the grass in the wagon then cut it out with a nesties labels 17 (which I love). I used Pop Rockz DP for my papers as it just had the right colors to go with my coloring. I used a grass punch to do the grass then I slipped it into the bottom of the nestie to cut the rounded shape. I don't remember where I got the Happy Easter brads but I thought they were cute for this project. Hope you enjoy. Why not hop on over to The Angel Company and check out some other creations.

Hippity Hoppity

Well it is Finally Friday and over at The Angel Company there is The Joy of Easter - you will be pleasantly surprised at the creations Angela Kelley has made - (might have to case them myself). I made an Easter card with a "retired" TAC set called Hippity Hoppity - which I had in my "for sale" box and dug out when this hop came up. I have been digging several of those stamps sets out of my for sale box recently. I had to make a larger card to get all my images on, I used Tutti Fruitti DP as my bg papers as it had all bright Easter colors there. I used copics to color my images and nesties label 4 to cut them out. Popped the images up with pop dots, a bit of pink ribbon with cute Easter eggs tied , the ribbon could have been a bit brighter but I loved the Easter eggs. Go visit the Savvy Projects and have fun looking at all the creations.

Pot of Gold Challenge

Over at The Angel Company there is a Pot of Gold Challenge in which we had to use several elements including stitching, a punched shape, ribbon, button/bow or brad, the color green and layers. For my card I used Sew Thankful, stitching on each side of the first layer of my card, I used 4 layers, the top layer is punched with an oval punch, the color green, ribbon is woven through the holes in the nesties die cut, and I used 2 layers of flowers held in place with a brad. I think I have met all the elements of this challenge which was fun!!! Please go to The Savvy Blog and check out all the fun projects.

Savor the Sweetness

I made this card for my daughter who will be going to a Walk to Emmaus - I heard from her sponsor and was requested for cards/letters so that while DD is at the retreat she would receive these letters/cards. I made her 2 cards - one which I posted for the Spring Blog Hop just a day or two ago. This one I made with a versatile set called Savor the Sweetness - it had the perfect images and I chose the one with the sunshine. I made a gatefold card and DP from Heidi Grace - colored the image with copics (I just took the beginner copic certification this past weekend in St. Louis). I cut it out with nesties 19 and covered up an oops with a pretty little flower with a butterfly perched on the flower. Oops aren't mistakes just opportunities to add embellishments!! I hope she enjoys getting her special cards while she is there.

Spring Blog Hop

We are having a SPRING blog hop over at Paper Wings this evening and I know a lot of people are so ready for signs of spring, warm weather, sunshine, blooming flowers and the birds setting up their new homes. For my projects I did a card - which I cased a "long" time ago from Julie Robinson. It is a pocket card and I used a flower packet to insert in my pocket, I used Catelynne DP which went so well with my focal image from Springtime Garden. I colored my image with Copic markers, cut out with nesties label 4. I had some of these cute spiral clips from a long time ago and decided it complemented the project. For my boxes I used a pattern from SCS called Gable box - these were so much fun to make. I used More Mimi and Miss Moxie DPs to make my boxes which need an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper. Scores, and folds and magic a cute little box. I put Easter grass in them - chocolate bunny rabbits in one and will put chocolate in the other one also. I made a rosette to put on the Miss Moxie box and a flower on the More Mimi box. Loved making both of the embellishments they were so much fun - almost therapeutic. Hop on over and see what the other players have created to put you in the mood for spring.

Book Mark

A couple of weeks ago I participated in a bookmark swap with a group that one of my BFFs got together. I used a "new" image from Hero Arts as the chair looked like you could just curl up and read all day, well I needed some lighting so I put the chandelier over the chair not realizing the crow sitting there so I put the shadow around the chandelier just "for fun". The saying is from TAC Toodles - I cut apart and just used the I'm here portion and it really looks cute in a book. With the shadow around the chandelier and crow it almost has a Barb Foster feel about it - LOL.

Going Green

This week over at The Angel Company Savvy Blog there is a "Going Green" creative selection. We could either re-purpose something or make something green. I choose to do both although my photo did not turn out very well, think it was my lighting, but I took a small lunch box size can of diced fruit, and opened the bottom lid with the can opener (Pampered Chef has a very nice one), which does not leave any sharp edges. Rinsed the can and let air dry then covered the can with a strip of green DP from Lilly Anna then Easter popped in my mind as I wanted to fill it with treats to send my Chemo angel patient so I colored the cute little bunny from I Love Easter (notice her cute little pink flocked tail). I used some pop dots and put her on the can, on the top I used a tag from the DP and stamped for somebunny special and tied some bright scrappers floss around the pull tap and tag. I filled with some wrapped (we can't send homemade or loose unwrapped candy like jelly beans) candies and glued the bottom back on the can. These are so easy and fun to make and I am hoping it will put a smile on her face when she gets her Easter box.
