Easter Cards - #5

I really like Easter. When I was a child, I would wake up Easter Sunday morning and 2 things would be true. 1 - I would have a new Easter dress that I would wear when we visited Grandma that day and 2-The Easter Bunny left me an Easter basket filled with candy... of course I had to find it!  My sister and I always had fun Easter morning finding (and eating) our Easter Baskets.

This is a simple Easter card with cute background paper done in rabbits (Graphic 45) and a name plate (Heritage cartridge Cricut) with Easter spelled out. Enjoy!

 The little bow with a pearl accent is the only embellishment I used and it fits perfectly!

Blue Beauty Spring Card

Hi everyone!  I hope that you had a great week!  I have nothing planned this weekend except making a card or two.  The weather here in Southern California is getting warm again.  The cool weather was really nice for all those months. I really enjoyed it.  It's nice to have warm weather too but I like the warm sun and cool breezes.

Since spring is not far away, I thought a pretty blue card would be nice to start out the month of April. (Can you believe it's April already!?)

 I really like the ribbon. It has a diamond design which is very pretty.  The powder blue color matches my card quite nicely. Thank you Really Reasonable Ribbon! (They have this ribbon in several colors so I bought their multi color pack.)

 There are so many beautiful paper flowers being made now.  I really like the different styles. The one I used is from Prima and is a long stalk of flowers and leaves.  I didn't want to use the entire piece so I cut the top off and only used that on my card.
Did you see my painting?  I painted some additional "stems" on my card using the green apple Smooch.  It filled in the area just above the bow a little.  Pretty cool, yes?

See you next time!
