Hangin' With My Peeps

Hello and Happy Friday!  Lisa here today to share a cute little Easter Card, perfect for this weekend...

Supplies:

Enamel Embossing Powder Adhesive	Enamel EP TURQUOISE LAGOON	Enamel EP CRANBERRY WINE	Detail White EP

InLinkz.com

To create this card I started by embossing the little Bunny Peeps in various colors.  Now the yellow bunny embossing powder was created by mixing several powders together.  I then layered some patterned paper, stamped the sentiment, and adhered the peep.  Ta - da!  Super clean and simple and let's not forget cute!!!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and that you'll get a chance to play along with our latest challenge: Hippity Hop

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Basket of Bunnies

I don't know what could be better than two chocolate bunnies in your Easter basket!  For my card today, I have used the newly released Piccolo Chocolate Bunnies, coloring them with Burnt Umber 3D Enamel Gel.  They fit perfectly in my Cheery Lynn Designs Spring Basket 1 adding a bit of greenery with my Cheery Lynn Designs Grass Border die.

One of the great things about adding Piccolo's to your card is their low profile.  You know that they won't be damaged when mailed.  Another of the new Spring Release Piccolo's is Stacey's Stacking Flowers.  You get a total of 24 flowers in this set, what a bargain.  I used Turquoise Lagoon Embossing Enamel on the larger flower and Copper 3D Stamp Paint on the smaller petal.  Notice you can still see the detailed lines on the petals.  I added a gem to the center of the flower to finish it off.  My last step was to add some leaves die cut with my Cheery Lynn Designs Holly Leaves.  Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.

Making classic cards for Easter

Hello! Tracy here with a floral Easter card tutorial!

When I was young my mother would always encourage my brother and I to do something artistic as gifts for the holidays. We would collect papers, catalogs and ribbons for cards and paper ornaments, trying to match each gift to the person we were giving it to. While the years have passed and our lives grown more hectic I still love to make cards for the holidays. So when my mother asked me if once again I would help with making cards for Easter I was more than happy to. Here is one of the classic themed cards I made.

Art Resurrected

Supplies:

• G&P  Vintage Cross Accents A004
• G&P Glastique Matte Finishing Glaze
• G&P Shamrock Dreams Embossing Powder
• G&P 24K Gold Embossing Powder
• Heat Gun
• G&P Piccolo Embossing Powder Adhesive
• Piccolo Easy Grip Tweezers
• Crystal sticker gems
• Blank card 4in x 5.5 inch
• Linen print and green print card stockDye ink pads in Brown and Green
• Pale yellow mini paper flowers
  
  

Carefully remove the Piccolos from the chipboard frame. Remove the large cross and frame. Save the two small crosses for future projects. Apply Piccolo Enamel Adhesive to the cross and frame pieces. Coat the cross with 24K Gold Embossing Powder and the frame with Shamrock Dreams Embossing Powder; heat to set.

Carefully cut the linen print card stock to fit on the front of the card. Cut the green card stock to fit the frame coated in enamel powder.

Taking the brown and green dye ink pads, rub them on the linen and green card stock lightly on the edges.

Adhere the frame to the green card stock with Glastique Matte Finishing Glaze, then adhere to the linen card stock.

Adhere the cross to the middle of the frame with Glastique Matte. If you notice the cross curling upward just place a heavy book on top of the card to dry flat.

Apply the green sticker gems to the cross with Glastique Matte and let dry.

Apply Glastique Matte to the top left and lower right corners of the frame and place the paper flowers on top.

Stamp or write your favorite Easter sentiment inside. :)
