Happy Easter cross and flower

I've made a similar card years ago, so this year I used a different embossing folder (I think it's made by Darice) .
Created the Cross using the Stampin Up lattice die, and you cut away a portion to create a cross.

Here I've switched up from a violet (deeper purple) flower and a light purple sentiment.

 Sentiment from Heaven Blessed SU set.

Butterfly flutter card set

Using a new die from SU I created this simple card set last year.

 Embossed white card stock

 Sentiment and punches from SU

Easter Paper Doll Card

I had this little girl created and was suppose to put it on a scrapbook page, however I ended up completing this card. I can still remove her if I get around to scrapbooking. ha ha. As she is a lot of work for a card.

I strung punched eggs on embroidery floss to make it look like she is holding them.
The inside which I did not take a picture says Happy Easter from Stampin' Up Teeny Tiny Wishes. This is the best sentiment set!

A Snoopy Easter

I was going through my sorted embellishments (I have them sorted by season and holiday) and came across a pack of Easter Snoopy stickers, they are so cute. But how can I incorporate them into a card.

So I attached them to embossed squares, and I think it came out rather cute!

The center square is raised on foam squares as well as the sentiment. (The sentiment is from SU.)

Peek-a-boo Easter Card

Here is a sweet Easter card I made for my daughter. Can't believe Easter is so early this year, March 31st.

I cut the aperture using a Spellbinders die and framed it as well. The sweet little yellow chick is a three dimensional sticker. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up. The embossing folder is from Sizzix used on the base card 

Easter Children

I made this card for my friend Sue who has two grandchildren, it was the first time I used this stamp set from Stampin' Up even though I've had it for almost a year! I forgot I had it and glad I found it in time!

Using the blender pens I used the ink from the SU ink pads to help me color the children and grass.

I mounted the image on foam squares and Pale Pink card stock.

Colour Create Easter card

At Colour Create they wanted to see Pink, Black and white

Here I stamped the Stugio G bunnies with black StazOn and mounted it on black cardstock and then raised it on foam squares on the bright fun pink card base.
I added some vibrant pink pearls too.

Hoppy Easter with Card Patterns

I love this sketch at Card Patterns - I used this cute Stampendous image frames it in a Spellbinders die and layered it with some yellow bakers thread from the Twinery.

Inside sentiment was computer generated because I lost my "hoppy Easter" stamp...
Stampin Up punches used on sentiment and the border on the front of the card.

Daring Card maker meets Stars and Stamps

Ha ha ... ok - I think I am getting a little silly here .. trying to finish all my Easter cards for my daughter and her friends.
If you have followed my blog - you'll see all the little treats I made yesterday. So I want to get all the treats and cards in the mail tomorrow!!!!
The challenges are helping me so... with the bird challenge at Daring Cardmakers and the sketch at Stars and Stamps I got this one accomplished! Because the embossing is so prominent I am entering this card into Crafty Catz as well.
Embossing is SU, the two punch bird is also SU.


Also - to tie this together - I used the color theme at The Paper Players I couldn't find my Baja Breeze so I may not qualify...

Butterflies for Easter OWH S&S sketch

I love this simple clean sketch from OWH S&S blog they just posted.
It help me complete two more Easter cards - wahoo! Here is one. I used SU paper and the Embosslet butterflies to folow the theme and sketch. As soon as I saw that heart - I knew I wanted to substitute the butterfly in it's spot.
Here is the inside - I had to hand write what I wanted to say as I didn't have the right sentiment.

Juggling Easter Bunny and Sunday Sketch

For my next two Easter cards I used pre-made base cards from Gartner Studios - they came in a variety pack of base colors. I used my scraps from the mini box bags and followed the sketch at Sunday Sketch & Stamp.

On the first card I flip the sketch on the second I left it as it is on the sketch. The image is from SU. The circle die is from Spellbinders.

My next Easter card I am entering it in Create4Fun sketch see below and white plus one at Alphabet Challenge Blog and at Crafty Catz embossing. The image I used is from Stampin' Up, the border punched on the front is from Martha Stewart, embossing folder I use is from SU

OWH Blog Hop

Hello all I am one of many who are participants in the Operation Write Home blog hop today!! This hop kicked off at 10:00 EST 7:00 PST.

What is Operation Write Home you may ask? It is a group of volunteers (and you can too) who create blank cards for our heroes to send home while they are away and on duty service our country - for more information check out their blog.
Because we have to make cards ahead of time - we are on Easter and Mother's Day.
Easter card deadline is March 18th and Mother's Day deadline is March 31st to mail our blank cards to our shipper.
You should have come from Amy's blog and now onto my hopping point as I am next.
This card I made at my stamp night using Stampin' Up products.

This card shows a couple techniques - one is using ribbon as an accent and the other is direct to stamp inking.

First the ribbon: I like ribbon as it adds another layer other than paper. Take a piece of ribbon and tape it to the back of one of the top layers. If you want to ad a little cinching take a piece of thread and tie a little piece around the ribbon for a great effect. Here I added the ovals and sentiment it is attached to the cinched area of the ribbon by a glue dot.

Second the direct to stamp inking: Using markers - color directly onto the stamp and then press the stamp to your paper. You get a wonderful watercolor or exact coloring technique depending on the style of your image.
Hope you will give it a try. I am giving away some blog candy. You must be a follower of my blog and leave a comment on this posting. Below is a set of Martha Stewart heart and flower clear stamps.
Now for your next hop to Jan's blog Thanks and enjoy!

(Entering this card in The Alphabet Challenge - R is for Ribbon)

Allsorts and 2 Cute Rubber Stamps

I made these for my kids and husband for Easter. They are filled all sorts of chocolates.
At Allsorts - we had to alter something, these boxes are sturdy and are great gift boxes too so I covered a macaroni and cheese box and added this adorable free digi from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps
I used Liquid Embossing clear gloss finish on the lollipops, you may have to click on the picture to see the gloss.
