Easter Decor

It's my turn on the Miss Kate Cuttables Blog today and I'm sharing a fun Easter Decor project. Who's ready for Spring? I AM!

Before we check out my project don't forget to grab the Freebie of the Day from the Miss Kate Cuttables Website.

Here's my Easter Decor Project:

First thing I did was paint my wooden round. I have been wanting to try the buffalo plaid style for a really long time and finally gave it a try! (Search YouTube for tutorials)

Here's a look at my plaid pattern:

I then planned out my wording and the leaf accents...I wanted to keep them simple.

I used just the "Easter" portion from this Easter Title.

I used the only the green leaf layer from this Spring Wreath SVG.

I placed just the elements I wanted to use in my cameo software and placed the Easter on top of the wreath and subtracted the wreath so they would not overlap. I cut this from vinyl, applied it to the sign and used chalk paint and a foam brush to add the green and pink. 

Since the background pattern was a bit busy I was not happy with the contrast of the Easter and leaves in the wreath. I first decided to do a solid fine point sharpie around the elements then decided to do a line/dot pattern. It's a bit less forgiving and I like the look. 

Here's my work in progress...

I experimented at the top of my sign where I knew my flower and bow would cover up. 

I added my flower and ribbons to the top and placed it on a stand. Super happy and love the bright spring colors.

MKC ~ Flower Challenge

Spring has finally sprung here in Western Pennsylvania! It has been a long winter and I'm so happy to have nice weather. Today I'm sharing my Easter layout from 2017.

It features flowers which is the theme for the Miss Kate Cuttables May Challenge.

Here's a look at my two page layout: (click on it to get a better view)

I used the Easter Flowers file for the flower accents.

Love how the flowers also surround the Easter Egg.

The file is called Easter Egg in Flowers.

I

The last paper piecing is called Easter Eggs Title. (I left off the flowers around the title)

I love to paper piece and Miss Kate files go together so nicely!

Happy Spring!!

Scrappin' Easter

Hey Everyone - Hope you had a good weekend. I'm sure you took a bunch of photos for Easter and I have a layout to share with you if you are looking for some scrapping ideas.

(give it a click for a closeup view)

I used the title from this Miss Kate Cuttables File entitled: Easter Borders

The flowers and eggs are from the file entitled: Easter Egg with Flowers

I modified it slightly an did not use all the layers supplied in the file.

Here is a closeup of one of the flowers:

There’s a challenge over on the Miss Kate Cuttables Galleria FB Page - go check it out and post before 4/27!

Spring Table Runner

Well I have a lot of "Firsts" to share with you today. 

I'm sharing a Spring Table Runner today - it’s the first project I created with fabric I cut on my Silhouette Cameo. 

It’s also my first table runner. I've only used my sewing machine to sew on scrapbook layouts.

I used Miss Kate Cuttable files and cut the SVGs on my Cameo. Check out all the details here.

Here is where the other "first" comes into play...I created my first how to video.

Let’s just say it was a learning experience and I have some ideas on how to improve future videos.

Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Here are a few other photos of my table runner.

If you are an expert seamstress and have any tips - Please leave me a comment!

Happy Easter Peeps!

Hello Everyone! Hope you have having a fantastic Easter weekend. I had a great time planning my son’s 4th grade Spring Party yesterday. When planning a party I like to work with a theme and our theme was a peep party. The little bunny peeps are so popular now.

 For my projects I used the Peeps Bunnies file from Fleurette Bloom.

 

I used the file to create the party bags. I printed them out on 8.5" x 11" paper and added to bag.
I did the peeps in different colors.

For the craft I picked up cups at the Dollar Tree.

 

 I cut the peep file out of vinyl on my Cameo and also cut dots in various colors.

I added transfer tape to the bunnies and the kids did a great job applying the peeps to the cups.

I took cloths for the kids to hold the cups in place.

The dots did not require the transfer tape.

 Here is my Tim with his finished cup. The kids loved the craft.

 

Here’s a look at the game and snack:

 Last but not least I made myself a shirt for the party. Here’s a Pre-Party Selfie :)

I took the Silhouette Fusible Fabric Stabilizer and ironed on to the cotton fabric.

 

Keep the white backer on and place it face down on the mat. 

I cut the peep file from Fleurette Bloom and ironed on to the shirt.

I also cut the wording and bunny outline in the silver heat transfer material.

DON’T FORGET TO MIRROR THE COPY!

 

I used the offest and internal offset to create the outline of the peeps.

Thanks for stopping by today - Hope you liked my peep party projects!
Have a Happy Easter!
