Easter Treats

Two blog posts in two days! Wishing everyone a Happy Easter. Seems like lately I've been speed crafting. I remember back when I went to art school I'd sometimes procrastinate and work all night to get a project done. Well now in my life I'm not procrastinating I'm just busy!

Here are my Easter Treats created in about an hour (Easter Morning):

I cut the One Piece Egg Basket from the Easter Treats SVG Kit from Fleurette Bloom.

My patterned paper from Echo Park was rather thin paper so I cut the Egg Basket from sold card stock and cut my patterned paper in an oval shape and applied to the sold card stock.

I added some ribbon and also cut the tag from the same kit. I just hand lettered the tags.

Here is a look at the entire kit - It’s fabulous for Easter and Spring Projects.

It’s a sunny day where I live - hope it’s nice where you are.

High Skies!

I was at an all-day crop today and was so excited when I saw the latest SVG Cuts Kit ~ High Skies. I immediately put my photos away and starting cutting the Hot Air Balloon!

It was so fun and easy to make. I used papers from October Afternoon and Twine is from Trendy Twine.

I used the Scotch glue to assemble the initial inner balloon and used a hot glue gun to add the patterned paper pieces. I used just a dab of hot glue on the balloon to attach the banner and embellished with gems.

Here is the look at some of the other items of the kit (does not include all items) ~ click here if you decide to go pick it up!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Grad Party Gift

I am heading to a Grad Party today and thought hmmm...maybe I'll make a card then thought maybe I will make a 3D creation for the graduate.

So here is what I came up with ~ it’s a gift box at the bottom and added the 3D Graduation Cap which I plan to fill with goodies and I added a 3D M for not only the grad’s initial but also the school mascot (Mustangs). I used the school colors throughout the project.

So here is how it all came together:

~ STEP 1 ~

 Started with the Glove Box from the Mothers Garden SVG Kit from SVG Cuts. I cut it at 100%.

I added a ribbon in the dark purple. Papers are from Basic Grey Shine On. I picked it up at Joanns - was so excited to see Joanns carrying Basic Grey 12x12 paper pads!

~ STEP 2 ~

 Cut and assemble the Grad Cap from SVG Cuts’ Graduation Day SVG Kit. I also cut at 100%.

It cut perfect on my Sizzix Eclips & I watched the assembly video which also gave tips on creating the tassle from embroidery floss. It was so incredibly easy to put together. I am going to put some candies in the cap.

~ STEP 3 ~

 And last but not least thought it needed a little something to balance out the design so I cut a 3D “M” from SVG Cuts’ 3D Letters Kit. This is about 3" high.

I adhered the cap box and 3D M to the glove box with hot glue.

 If you are going to a grad party try one of these for the graduate!

Happy 30th!

 Have you seen the latest Kit from SVG Cuts? 

I have been waiting for the 3D numbers for quite some time and have a bunch of projects planned for these. 

I was invited to a surprise 30th Birthday Party yesterday and made this for the guest of honor.

 I started with the base box. It is from the:

Mothers Garden SVG Kit

I filled the box with her favorite candy and a gift card.

I then cut the 30 using the latest kit from SVG Cuts.

 3D Numbers Party SVG Kit 

I cut the 30 in chipboard too and added a foam tape under to pop it off.

I hot glued the numbers to the box.

I just love how the Sizzix eclips cuts all types of paper & chipboard. 

I then cut the add ons to the top and bottom.

The "HAPPY" is from:

Happy Birthday To You SVG Kit

 I used wire to attach to the top of the numbers.

The "birthday" is from:

 Everyday Cards SVG Kit 

 

 Here is a closeup ~ I used Best Creation Papers - Loops and Scoops.

For the solids I used AC Cardstock. I pulled colors from the patterned paper for the solids.

I added some buttons, flowers, ribbon and twine to accent.

 

Hope you like my project and have a great week!

3D Ornament = FUN!

I made this 3D Ornament for my sister-in-law. It was so darn fun to make! It is included in the latest kit from SVG Cuts ~ Spirits of Christmas Past.

I added a photo of my little great niece, Barb’s grand daughter and some ribbon and a Velvet Poppie from Creative Charms. Hmmm guess I will be making one for my other great niece too!


Must warn you...these 3D ornaments are so fun and easy...you may be making many of these too :) Going to enter the JUGS (Just Us Girls) Color Challenge for this one.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
