Happy Easter

Hope everyone had a lovely and blessed Easter Day :)

I spent the day with my family. Very relaxed, and lots of good food :) 

It rained here for most of the day, so we stayed in and watched some movies. 

Here is a recap of all the Easter projects I made this year :) 

Enjoy.

Easter Signs

Made these Easter Signs by painting and distressing the wood, 

and then cutting out and adding the vinyl images to the wood.

On this sign I painted the block, then I used a stencil cut from vinyl 

to paint the bunny on. After it was dry I put the vinyl Easter words on top.

Easter Cards

The Easter cards I mad this year for my family.

Easter Banner

The banner I made during the At Home Crafting Extravaganza.

Easter Bunny Treat Baskets

I cut these Bunnies out on my Cricut Explore machine.
I did NOT create this file, you can find

the svg for this file HERE

They were very easy to cut out, I used 12x12 paper for these. 

Used Stampin Up retired stamps

on the little tags. My kids are all older now....but still need 

a bit of chocolate on Easter. I have made baskets 

for them since they were little.

Easter Flower Vases

I made these vases by recycling jars. I painted them, and once dry I used painters tape
at the bottom to mark off the top area. I then used Mod Podge and glitter to create the sparkly bottoms. Last I added some fake Peony flowers.


Thank you for looking, and hope you are inspired to create:)

Older Easter Projects

Here are some more past Easter projects

 to hopefully inspire you. 

Bunny Easter Baskets

 I designed these baskets for my kids.I used my Cricut machine to cut them out.

 I love how they turned out. And my kids were made up with them.

 Small Easter Baskets

 Again, I wanted something different for my kids for Easter, so I designed this basket and cut it out with my Cricut.

This set is from SVGCUTS.com, I made this set for my mother-in-law.

Easter Banner and Cards

It's been a long time since I have posted on my blog. 

Quick Update: My husband was diagnosed with extreme Crohn's Disease a while back, and was hospitalized and nearly died twice. So I took time off from blogging to help him and go to numerous doctors appointments. He will need to have surgery to remove part of his bowels. And at the moment he is stable and doing well. Crafting has helped me cope and deal with the stress of everything that has been going on. But with so many doctors visits and everything else trying to post my projects was just out of the question. 

I have been doing some challenges on Facebook and other blogs and really want to show my cards and other projects to you all. So bare with me and over the next few days weeks I am going to try and post past/ new projects and then try and keep up to date on posting. 

Here are some of my Easter projects.Thought I would start 

with Easter since its next weekend.

My Easter Banner was made yesterday during a
Stay At Home and Craft Extravaganza that ran from 10am to 10pm
on Facbook! I really enjoyed myself and the lovely person that was doing it
really challenged all of us to be/get inspired and create.

                            Banner made using the Stampin Up What I love stamp set(retired).

The Bunnies at each end were cut on my Cricut Explore. 

 

                            Here is a close up.                                        

                          Easter Cards I made using the Stampin Up Circle of Spring stamp set.

       Silhouette Easter cards using the Stampin Up Waterfront and Work of Art stamp sets. These cards were CASED from Tami from http://stampwithtami.com/blog/2018/03/hold-on-to-hope/

                   Here are some of my Easter projects from the last couple of years :) Enjoy.

                                                        Magnolia Easter Trifold card.

                                                            Close up of the sentiment.

                                                 How it looks standing all opened.

                Rejoice Cross Easter Cards. I embossed the cross and added glitter accents.

  Easter Bunny cards using glitter paste and stencils to create 

 the backgrounds. Cut out the bunny on my Cricut. 

   Did the same for the next couple of images just

switched out the stencils that I used for the backgrounds and the colour of the paste.

Thank you all so much for looking and I hope you all enjoyed these
 Easter projects and are inspired to create. .

 Happy Easter everyone,

I think it is important that crafters be informed of their options. 

There are some really good die-cut machines on the market

at the moment that are of high quality materials. And can cut proper circles!

Here is a quick list of some of them, and these are in no certain order:

1. Silhouette SD

2. Boss Kut-Gazelle

3. Black Cat Lynx

4. Black Cat Cougar

5. E-craft

6. Pazzels

And please, please research these cutters to find out which is best for you. You can go here and read the reviews of some of the machines. Jin has done a fab job:) 

And OMG Lettering Delights hit 10k members on FB!!!! Congrats everyone, and to thank their fans they are giveing away free sets!! 11 freebies to be exact and you can find them here.

Lettering Delights is awesome!!! Love their SVG files!!

Also I will be putting a list of sites on my blog to other blogs as well as stores that have FREE SVG files and sell SVG files. So be watching for that :)

So ok, I thought I would post a few things I have been working on for Easter. 

I hope you like them :)





Cadbury Egg Box
 This is the top and I used a Free SVG file from SVGCUTS.COM you can find it here

 This is the inside of the box.

Easter Baskets

 These are cute Easter Baskets I made using MTC Software.

This Basket was made from a 12x12 piece of cardstock. 

I put lace around the top of it to spice it up a bit lol. 

And on the sides there are flowers where I joined the handle.

I also made a macthing card.

The stamp is from Penny Black: Easter Bonet

I used Promarkers to colour the image in and then added some glossy accents to a couple places.

Small Easter Baskets

The bunny SVG is also free and you can find it here at Jennifer Scrap Shack. 

I kept proportions and sized it to 3and 1/2 wide

I used my Sizzix texture plate to emboss them and then added a bit of cotton wool for the tail. 

The top basket is for a boy and the one beneath is for a girl. On the boy baskets I used dark colour buttons instead of flowers where the handle joins. 

Also I stapled the handles on to give them a bit of re-enforcement.

These easter baskets were sized at 8x8

The handle was 1and1/2 inches wide by 10 inches long....

might of been shorter cant find the paper I wrote it down on lol , 

so size to whatever suits your needs.

Thanks for looking :)

Anya and Ian Book Marks

Over at Quixotic Challenges for challenge #17
its Altered Anya challenge. You can
do waterever you want really.
From as little to as much as you like in altering .
Well I didnt really alter Anya as such..but I am used to
useing her on cards. And I thought since I had been making book mark cards,

After I finished both book marks I laminated them so they would last .
