Easter! It's all about Jesus!

Hi y'all. I'm back with another Easter card to share today. This one was cased from a wonderful Stampin' Up demo France Martin. It is one of my favorite because Easter is all about what Jesus did for you and me on the cross.

Same card with a little different color scheme. I really like the darker one with the Elegant Eggplant cross and frame. I also like the petite petal flowers around the frame in the second card. The cross is made with the lattice Bigz die.
Here's a short picture tutorial on how to cut the cross.

  Turn the lattice on an angle. Trim away the four oval petals on each side and the bottom three. I trim away then go back and with my good paper snips trim close following the curve of the ovals. Hope this helps and you enjoy making this card as much as I did.  Be blessed and go bless someone else and then you will be truly blessed.

            

Easter is coming!

I love this time of year. Spring is in the air, flowers blooming, you should see my roses, the real ones, not the knock out ones, they are beautiful. As you may have read we are preparing for a wedding next Saturday. I know, the day before Easter! What was that girl thinking! But it will be beautiful. I have been stamping place cards and gift bags and embossing napkins and making favors and ...... the list goes on. It has been fun and I plan on sharing these things with you after the wedding.

But, in the middle of this chaos I have had a few other things to do. I am sharing at a MOPS group this week, we are doing two really cool cards. I'll share the cute one with you today. I always have a little trouble with the whole bunny thing at Easter, it is such an important day in my faith and I really don't think there were cute little bunnies hopping around at the foot of the cross. Never the less, it is fun for the kiddos and I love cute little bunnies! When my children were growing up, we did celebrate the Easter bunny on Saturday before Easter and then prepared our hearts for Easter Sunday! It worked well. Anyway, here's the card. It was inspired by two ladies, Jan and Gwen, love their work. The base is natural white card stock layered with Marina Mist and Bashful Blue. The bunny is made with 2 small ovals(retired), 1 inch and 1 1/4 inch circles, and the modern label punch for his feet. Oh yes, don't forget the Boho blossom small flower for the little tail. I dusted the outer edges of the pieces with Pretty in Pink. The clouds are the top of the cupcake punch. I used the large oval for the Happy Easter out of Tiny Teeny Wishes. The back ground is stamped in Marina Mist and Rose Red using the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set. The little flower is from the small punch trio set punched out of Rose Red with a little bling embellishment. Cute, huh? I hope the ladies enjoy doing it. Well, blog post is getting too long. Gotta run. Be Blessed!

He is Risen! He has Risen indeed!

In honor of the spiritual significance of this day, I'd like to share with you a card I cased from several people online. I love this card and the idea of making the cross from the lattice big shot die. I enjoy it when I can use a item for other things than it was maybe intended. The cross is cut from the lattice die and adhered to a piece of Whisper White. Then I sponged several colors all over the background, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, More Mustard and a little Cherry Cobbler. The colors don't show up very well in the picture. After sponging it I ran the background through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder. I actually used the wrong side of that folder in order to get the little crosses instead of the square lattice. Happy Easter is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I hope you enjoy this card, but I really pray you and your family have a very blessed Easter Celebration today, because as the 1st century Christians said many years ago " He is Risen- He is Risen indeed!" 5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7 And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.” Matthew 28:5-7

Easter Flowers

Good Morning Stamper Friends. I hope yall are having a great week. As I promised, I have another Easter Candy treat project to share with yall today. This could easily be used for any spring event like Mother's Day, a ladies tea, or as decorations for the end of the year events at school or church. Isn't this cute? The 2 large flowers where cut with the Flower Folds Big Shot die and the smaller one in front is made with the extra large scallop circle punch. I also used that punch with the large circle punch to make the scallop around the center treat cup. I stamped Happy Easter on Whisper White CS, then layered that on Pear Pizazz to resemble a leaf. The little pails came from a discount store, I just stuck in a little Styrofoam and Easter grass (I hate that stuff, gets everywhere) However, makes a really cute table favor or small centerpiece. Hope this is useful for yall. If you have any questions, shoot me a comment and I'll be happy to help. Have a great day. Be a blessing and you will be blessed.

Easter week

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. Like Christmas the True meaning gets lost in the bunnies and dyed eggs at times, but it's just a lot of fun. Cadie has been hiding Easter eggs for a good week now. I have a couple of Easter treats to share with you, but you only get one today, so keep coming back so you don't miss the next one. This cute little carrot is so simple! I simply cut the large scalloped circle using the big shot and ran it through the polka dot embossing folder, then rolled it into a cone. Next, I added the three Pear Pizazz "leaves" cut out with the scalloped oval punch. I did dust them with Pear Pizazz ink around the edges to give it some definition. I love the little Reese bunnies I found to go in them. He is just perfect except, like many of us, his hips are a little big. One of my hostess club members suggested we bite off his hips and wrap him back up! Good idea, Maybe not! Won't these be cute in an Easter Basket. I 'll have another one tomorrow so don't miss it. Hope you are having a meaningful Holy week. "God bless you real good"

I used the window word punch and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for the sayings.
