Card #2 Vintage Easter Bunny


Here's the second Easter Card I made this afternoon with scraps left over from other projects.  I bought this cute vintage bunny image at the Silhouette store a long time ago.  I cut it out with my Cameo, but never used it.  So I grabbed it out of the bin and attached it to some oval die cuts.  Machine stitched scraps of patterned paper to the card base, then attached all the layers.  Used Spellbinders die to cut the fancy edges and glued them to the corners.  Will save this for next years box for the children's charity.

Card # 1 Easter Bunny


I have a few hours before our get together with friends to celebrate Easter.  Started to clean up my craft area, but instead of cleaning up my messy desk, I ended up making a few cards with the scrap pieces I have left over from other projects.  This fun little bunny is a image I found at the Silhouette store.  Printed it and the saying a while ago,  but never used them.  Embossed the background layer and die cut it out with a stitched rectangle die from MFT.  Saying was cut out with Spellbinders die.  Buttons were cut out with IO die.  Will save this for next years box for the children's charity.

You Whoo


I always buy print and cut files at the Silhouette store during the sales, but it takes a long time before I get around to making something with them.  I have had this print and cut owl for more than a year and decided it was time to make a card with it.  Found some owl patterned paper in my stash and machine stitched around the edge to adhere it to the card base.  Cut out the owl, the talk bubble and eyelet circle with my Cameo and assembled them onto the stitched card base.  I think the kids at the Cards For Hospitalized Kids Charity will like this one.

Real wild flowers card


I went through my stamp collection and found this pretty Hero Arts Real Flower stamp that I bought back in 2004.  Hasn't had much use in recent years, so I decided to make a card with it. I inked the rubber and stamped it 4 times, then reinked and stamped 3 more times to get the lighter background effect.  Die cut the image and scalloped layer with Spellbinders dies. This is for the Card Care Connection Charity.
