The Last of My Easter/Spring Cards

Good Morning Everyone! As you read this, we are in Tennessee having a blast with my oldest son and his family. My, how our granddaughters have grown since our last visit in November! We are enjoying summer like weather and the breathtaking sight of all the Dogwoods in bloom! Before we left, I had finished the last of my Easter cards but didn't have a chance to download them until now.I have come to the conclusion that I am no good at mass producing cards, I have become very bored with not only my Easter cards but struggled with my Valentine and St. Patrick's Day cards as well. With the next holiday more than 6 months away, I'm am so looking forward to doing something new and fresh when we get home! For those of you that are kind enough to leave a comment, I will be sure to visit your blog when I get home. The Internet connection is VERY slow at best. This first one is slightly smaller than an A2 card, the base was made with the largest Fleur De Lis rectangle---

This card features the computer generated Bible Verse John 3:16 on a Spellbinders Beaded Oval with the Lattice Border,Sizzix 3D Flower die and Martha Stewart Stamp Punch---

A quick end of winter card made with Clip art to match the Cherry Blossom paper---

That's it for now...Thanks for stopping by...As always...If you have any questions on the recipe or the supplies I used...please feel free to email me! Til next time...enjoy your day and have a wonderful week!

Happy Spring

Good Morning...Happy Friday! Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoy your visit. I've done something a little different and a little outside of my comfort zone but had so much fun! You remember when I asked for a BossKut Gazelle for Christmas, then when it came, I whined til my husband gave in and let me have it early, only to use it once or twice, got frustrated and just about threw it out the window...Well on the suggestion of my fearless leader Regina I decided to give it another try. Here's what I created with it and you know what...it was simple with the aid of The Cutting Cafe Butterfly Template. Not to worry if you don't have a BossKut, Pazzles or other cutting machine, the file comes in a PDF file as well. I also did something new for me, stitching and while I'm OK with it, I wish I would have run the stitches all the way to the upper outer edge of the butterfly but glued it in place before I had a chance to see what it looked like...oh well, next time I'll know better---
Here is the recipe---
Card Size: Base card measures 5.5" x 4"
Template: Cutting Cafe Butterfly Template
Nestibilities/Spellbinders: Petite Oval/Scallop
Cuttlebug: With Love Embossing Border Set, Babyface Alphabet
Sizzix: Phrase-Spring Flowers, Flower & Flourish #2
Accessories: Glitter, Flat Back Pearls, Embroidery Floss, Foam Pop Dots

Now how quick and easy is that? That's all I've got for you today. Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to set your clocks ahead this weekend as we enter Daylight Savings Time. Woo Hoo...I LOVE it...I don't care if we do lose an hour, it's great to have the daylight in the evening! Have a fabulous weekend...Hope to see you on Monday!!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Here's a quick card that I did using Changito by Stampendous. Ya gotta love these guys! I colored the image with Prisma pencils and OMS, added some glitter and layered it on circle and scallop Nestibilities. I used EK scallop diamond edge punch and embossed the background layer with Cuttlebug With Love border set embossing folder. Added some rain dots and a bow made from craft yard. Words are computer generated. Hand doodled with a gel pen and added Glossy Accents to the umbrella. Thanks for stopping by...Have a GREAT day!
