Dog Easter Card

Some of you know my sister but for those of you who don't this is a little tribute to her. She doesn't have any kids but she loves her dogs like kids. I had to post pictures of Aspen's 3rd birthday party. She works at 3 Dog Bakery corporate office and Aspen gets to go to work with her. There is a 3 Dog Bakery close to the office so they get cakes for the dogs and have a celebration. Somehow Aspen is always the closest to the cake even if it isn't her birthday.

I always like doing dog cards for her on holidays and this is the Easter card I sent her. I cut the eggs and the grass out with my cricut. I colored the dog image with my copic markers. Just had to add some bunny ears.

Jar Easter Cards

This is the Easter card that I made for my stamping buddies. I have been wanting to use the canning jar stamp and die cut from PaperTrey Ink so this is my take on the Easter version. I put little bunnies in each jar. The bunnies were Lifestyle Crafts Candy Bunny cutting die. So cute. The doily dies were from Papertrey Ink also. The papers I used were from Basic Grey called "Hello Luscious". Winding down on my Easter cards. You will love the post tomorrow so be sure and check back.

Easter Napkin Card

This is my second card using paper napkins. I found these in my drawer. I now realize why I was keeping these beautiful napkins. There is always crafting potential in everything. Must be why I can't get rid of anything.

Paper Napkin Card

Sorry that I have been MIA the last couple of days. I have been in my basement sewing away trying to finish up a t-shirt quilt that I promised to a co-worker. She is going to give it to her son for a graduation gift. It was fun but I'm glad it's done. Now it is off to the quilters.

So I am back in my craft room and the ideas are just spinning. I have several cards started, just need to finish up. I had to stop everything when I came across this tutorial by Michelle Wedemeyer. You basically take any paper napkin you have at home and transfer it to your card stock with plain ole plastic wrap and your iron. I just happened to be in Tuesday Morning today and came across these beautiful napkins and decided to give it a try.


Be sure and check back because I found some easter napkins that I am playing with next.

Bookmarks

I have been trying my hand at some bookmarks. I bought this wonderful stamp set from Inkadinkado with Butterfly, dragonfly, Hummingbird and a ladybug. I just love the stamp set and know that it is endless what I will be able to do with this set. I used the butterfly for this set and stamped with my versamark and then embossed with black powder. I used my stampin up pens to color in to match the papers.

Easter Basket

I won't be putting alot on my blog this week because I am at my sewing machine trying to finish up a t-shirt quilt.

Today I wanted to post a easter basket that I made for a secret sister in SCS. The pattern for the basket is at SCS. I made it a little bigger with a 6 inch square instead of a 5 inch. I scored at 1 3/4 inch all around. The bunny face pattern is at "Confessions of a Stamping Addict" Blog. I decided to add some stuffing for a tail in the back.

Tri Fold Card

I am so excited to post today because I have been looking forever for a flower frog to display my cards on. My friend, Patty called me and said she had found me one. I am so excited because I think it really makes the cards pop. I even came home and made myself a little shadow box to take all my pictures. It still needs some work but at least this is a start. I just love my little flower frog. This was a tri-fold card that I made - love the papers which is Stella and Rose from My Mind's Eye. The stamp is from SU and is called Cheep Talk.
