Easter Chicky

I realised I had one more Easter Card to make but today I was struggling with inspiration but I think this card turned out nice. I went to pinterest and found some inspiration on there. I made a yellow card and matted on a scrap of plaid paper and some turquoise. I cut my little chick and his egg from Simply Charmed and stamped a Peachy Keen Critters face (so cute). I stamped You're Egg-straordinary from a set from My Creative Time for Me down the bottom. I ran the oval through my dot Cuttlebug folder and the turquoise strip through a border Cuttlebug folder. I cut 3 different size flowers from Accent Essentials and went around them with a white gel pen for faux stitching and a white brad to finish.

Bunny Love ♥

I finished this one today too, I'd already cut the card out  yesterday but finished it today. This is for Greg to go with his little gift for Easter. The card is cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2. The oval in yellow from George and Basic Shapes. I stamped the Bunny love on the bottom right corner. For the cute bunny he is cut using punched circles and ovals and stamped with a Peachy Keen Critter faces stamp. I had a yellow heart sticker for his tummy and finished with a white box.

Easter card and sweets box

I've got a few projects coming up that I've been working on. This one was a challenge card I set which I used a pastel yellow card egg shaped with a blue card mat which I embossed with my Cuttlebug Candy Cane folder. I added some spotted paper along the bottom and stamped Hippity Hoppity. I cut the cute bunny from my Cricut Lite Cartridge "Live Simply" and I stamped with the Peachy Keen Critter faces, I like these stamps because they also have the stamp to make a side view of the face. I used a bit of cotton wool for his cottontail and tied on some gingham ribbon. Whilst going through my things yesterday I noticed I had these cute Easter Egg buttons so I took the shank off the back and hot glued that to the ribbon. The other project here is a cute little sweets box from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2. I had some nice dotted card so I used that and then used some leftover stickers to decorate as well as stamping "friend". I filled this with Spring mix Jelly Belly Beans. This is for my friend Christina in Germany who I met at Christmas, I'm sure she will like!

Cute Chickie!!

I made this cutie card on the weekend. I got some new Cuttlebug folders and my Peachy Keen face stamps and wanted to try them out. I made small square shimmery yellow card and then put some shimmery purple through my floral embossing folder. I cut a circle from my Cricut and embossed it with my dot folder. For the cute chick, it's made using shapes. I saw a similar idea on a blog and thought it was so cute so I thought I would try it. The chick is made using circles for the head and body, an oval for the egg which I just cut with scissors to make it look like a cracked egg. The chicks wings are hearts. I used the Peachy Keen Critter faces set for the cute little face. I colored in the beak with an orange marker. I stamped a greeting inside this time. I'm going to send this to my friend Melanie for Easter : )

Bunny Basket

I made this today for my sweet husband Greg, isn't it cute? I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cartridge to cut out the little Easter Basket and the tag is from the same cartridge. I used my Peachy Keen Critters face stamps to stamp the cute little bunny face and I used white gel pen for stitching and pink chalk on his cheeks. I filled it with little eggs and Lindt mini bunnies. I think Greg will love this ♥

Easter treat bag

This one has taken me a little while to do, mainly because I haven't felt up to doing much craft or my enthusiasm goes up and down at the moment due to my foot but I did get this lovely bag finished for my good friend Conny who I know will love this. I made the bag on my Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cartridge. I used the tag off the same cartridge and stamped the lovely little sentiment on it. I stamped the bunny too and coloured him in as well as the Easter egg and carrot. I put the bunny on 3D squares for some dimension. I filled the bag with a mini packet of Spring mix Jelly Belly jelly beans and some mini chocolate eggs. I tied everything up with a blue cord bow. I'm sure she will enjoy this.

Easter basket cards

I've been working on these for a few days but got them finished last night, I am so pleased with how they turned out, so cute! These are for our mum's and dad's for Easter. I used the basket off my Doodlecharms cartridge and put it into the Cricut Craft Room to weld them together to make the card base. I cut 2 inserts for the front also in a different shade of brown. The fun part was decorating them. I wound some ribbon around the insert part of the basket handle and added daisy trim to one of the baskets at the front. I used the Doodlecharms cartridge to cut out eggs in 2 sizes and different colours. I decorated them with trims or punches. I cut out 2 scalloped circles from Cricut Accent Essentials and used a round stamp on it to stamp the greeting. I then added a spotted button to one of them with twine and on the other a punched flower, button and twine. Sweet little baskets : )

Happy Spring

This is one I made this afternoon/evening. It's turned out really sweet. I used a lemon card and then matted some lemon and white paper on top. I tied a green gingham bow around the top. My sweet husband Greg is into his Cricut cake cartridges and I'm lucky they can be used on my machine too and he's so sweet he shares them with me ♥. So I used the Everyday Sampler cartridge to make the grass and the Holiday Cakes cartridge to make the cute spotty bunny. I cut out the stems for the flowers from Walk In My Garden. I found 2 stamp sets at Michaels on the weekend on clearance for $3.99 and they were really nice so I used them on this card. The flowers I stamped separately then the stamp set also had little circle greetings in them so I stamped them in the middle of the flowers, I was really happy with that as I am getting more confident with my stamping and love it. I coloured them and finished the card. This is for a friend of mine Conny and I know she will love this as she enjoys my cards : )

You're Egg-straordinary

I made this card this afternoon for my sweetie Greg for Easter, it's turned out so cute, I love it and I know he will. Sorry about the picture it's going dark here now and this was the best I could get in the light but you can see it ok I think. I made an oval shaped card from my Wild Cards cartridge, this is cute for Easter to look like an egg. I made that in blue and layered on some purple and green dot. I love all the colours of Easter. They remind me of Spring here and that is good as we've had enough of winter (up to 15 degrees tomorrow though so that's good!). I cut out 2 hearts from my George and Basic Shapes cartridge both in blue and a blue dot. Now is the fun part. I got some lovely stamps recently and I just loved this little bunny he's lovely. So I stamped him and coloured him in, I decided to leave him white as the brown was a bit heavy for an Easter Bunny. I also stamped a sentiment from that set down the bottom. I stamped some little eggs and a carrot and cut them out and coloured them in. I put everything on 3D squares and finished some ribbon. I did some accenting with my glitter pen on the bunny and eggs to make it sparkle. Hope you like my cute bunny card : )

Easter Treat Boxes

Hello everyone, I've been working on these boxes for a good few days - very cute little Easter Treat Boxes for special people (can't say who, but the Easter Bunny knows : )..I love all the nice colours of Easter and was pleased to be able to make these cute boxes using some nice Easter card I had. I used Sweet Tooth Boxes to make the boxes. Then I decided I wanted to cut out a bunny head out of the side, so I did this in the Cricut Craft room and put acetate behind it, so cute. I filled the boxes with treats and then made my tags and decorated them using my Cricut and some Easter Stamps I got recently. I was at Michaels yesterday and found some cute little glitter eggs and ribbons so I got those and finished the boxes off nicely with those.

Bunny Cupcakes

I made this card for my friend Melanie as she loves my cards and appreicates them when I send them so I made her a bunny cupcake card and it's turned out lovely - so cute! I cut out the cupcake stand and cupcake wrappers from my "Sweet Treats" Cartridge for my Cricut and used some cute bunny heads stickers for the tops of the cupcakes. I then stamped the greeting in the left hand corner and finished off with some easter ribbon for the bow around the cupcake stand.
