 I found this card in the Silhouette store.

 

The card measures 6.25" x 5" tall and folds fairly flat for mailing.

  

 

 I used Kraft paper for the card base and some scraps of yellow, blue and white for the Easter egg, sentiment and layers under the egg. I added some blue jewels to the edges.

The, "happy Easter" is a Cricut cut from the Easter 2010 cartridge.

The card base measures 6.25" wide x 5.5" tall and folds flat for mailing.

Easter Bunnies Collage Sheet



Easter is right around the corner so I have been busy getting my cards ready to mail. The 4 cards that I have for you today are all from this darling collage sheet: Ewe-N-Me Printables.

 

There are 19 total different images per sheet and you can print as many sheets as you need. This sheet is really nice to use if you want to make all of your cards different. 

 



 

 
Two bunnies in love, isn't it a sweet image? A little washi tape, a few sequins, a little twine and computer generated sentiment and your card is complete.

 
I think this is my favorite image from the sheet, I added a doily, washi tape, Imaginisce jewels, sequins and a computer generated sentiment.

 

All of these cards were very fast and easy to make, the film strip style images were perfect for my film strip die.

I was able to use up some scraps on the sentiments and the film strip die cuts.
 

Easter Card In A Box

Evidently I have been on a bit of a, "card in a box" binge, this is the 3rd one I've made recently. But when I saw this beautiful collage sheet I decided that it was perfect for a card in a box. Aren't these angels beautiful?
 

 

You can find the file here: Ewe-N-Me Printiables.  You get 2 sizes of 6 different images for a total of 12 images per sheet and you can print as many as you need.

 



After cutting out and choosing my images, I used 3 large images on the bottom of the box and 3 small images on the top of the box,  I went to work on measuring, cutting, scoring and folding my box. I put my images onto the box before I assembled it because it is easier that way.

 

 

 

  

I used my Cricut to cut the, "Happy Easter" and the flowers with the Easter 2010 cartridge. I added some jewels to the flower centers and a couple around the upper portion of my card.

 

If you haven't made a card in a box before, here is a very good tutorial: Card in a box tutorial.

 

Easter Cards

Easter is right around the corner and Deena has several Easter Printables to choose from. I really like this collage sheet featuring vintage Easter images.    

 

You get 5 total images, two 4" squares and three 3" egg shapes.

 



I made two different card designs:

 

 

 

 

For my first card I used Kraft paper for the card base and added a pink background with an Easter ribbon, a few Imaginisce jewels and I was finished with card 1.
 

 

For the second card I added a border stamp from Close to My Heart, sentiment stamp from my stash and a few sequins along with the background paper and ribbon.

 

 

 

The third card is an accordion fold, I used the 3 egg shaped images after starting with a cream card base that I added a touch of color to with my eBrush. I used some scraps to make the layer under the images and I embossed them with my eBosser and Swirltangle folder.

 

The butterflies are some brads from my stash that I cut the backs off of and glued them to the card. I also used a couple of decorative buttons and a bow made with a Couture die set which I won from Create and Craft TV, a few sequins and sentiment which is printed on vellum. I inked all of the edges.

 

Deena's Printable files are so easy to use, just print cut and design, they make the, "work" go very fast so you still have plenty of time to get a few cards made and mailed.

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

Retro Valentine Cards

This week I had the pleasure to work with this darling Easter Cutout Printable.
 

 

 

You get 8 different images on the sheet. I decided that some accordion cards would be a great way to use them.

 

 

These are quick and easy to make and it didn't take very long to make them.

 

 

Both of the cards measure 4" tall x 12" across, I scored them every 3 inches giving me 4 folds to work with.

 

After printing out the file, I adhered the entire sheet to a piece of very thin chipboard then cut out each image and inked the edges.

 

The printed layers behind the images all measure 3 1/2" tall x 2 1/2" wide except for the first and last panels on the second card, those are 3 1/4" tall x 2 3/4" wide.

 

 

On the first card I added a sequin topped by a pearl on each corner and a Melissa Frances wooden butterfly sprayed with my eBrush. The second card has a jewel in each corner and a purple butterfly that I added a few pearls to.

 

I eBrushed some white cardstock with pink and purple Spectrum Noir markers for the second card.

 

You can tie them closed with just about anything, ribbon, twine, etc. I used some fluffy string that I have had for several years.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.
