 Hello Friends 

I have some exciting news.  I have been published for the first time in Creative Scrapbook Magazine

Here are my cards.  I have 3 of them in this Spring Publication!

Thanks for letting me share my happy news!

Leprechaun Gnome!

 Hello Friends,

I am taking a break from making Easter cards and switching it up to St. Patrick's Day cards.  I am repurposing one of the new Spring Release dies and making it a cute St. Patty's Day card.  I just added one of our older dies to give it a different look.

Designer Steps:

1.  I am using the Spring Gnome Cottage die and the St. Patrick's Day Cupcake die.  I cut the pieces out of tan, brown, yellow, green, and cream.  I added a little color to the hands and nose with my Copic maker E21.  I also added a little TH Vintage ink to the edge of the beard.  Glue together the pieces with a fine tip glue

2.  Use an A2 white card base cut the green 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and the yellow dotted DP 4 x 5 1/4.  Glue the yellow and green together but do not glue to card base yet

3.  Pop the Gnome to the front of the card add the little clover to the grass and the yellow flowers to the center of the large clover

4.  Add the checked green ribbon to the bottom of the card with the knot off set to the right as shown above.  Glue your Gnome panel to the white card base

5. Stamp your sentiment in black and layer onto green card stock.  Glue the sentiment to the front as shown above.  Add yellow Stickles to the center of the flower and your card is complete

Today, I have another cute little Easter card for you.  I am using Spring Bunny w/Giant Carrot.

Design Step:

1.  Using the Spring Bunny w/Giant Carrot cut out the pieces using: green, orange, pink, yellow, blue, light gray, dark gray, white, red and black card stock.  Assemble the bunny and carrot with fine tip glue.  Add a little Wink of Stella to the bow for some sparkle

2.  Use a whtie A2 card base,  cut a piece of green 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, orange 4 x 5 1/4 and Carrot DP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8.  Use the Scalloped Rectangle die second from the largest and cut it out of white.  Next run the rectangle through an embossing folder.  I used swiss dots

3.  Glue the green to the white card base, next glue the orange and then the carrot DP

4.  Glue down the white embossed rectangle to the middle of the card front.  Place pop dots onto the back of the bunny and add it to the center of the white rectangle

5.  Last stamp your sentiment and layer onto orange card stock add your little sequins and your card is complete

 Hello Friends

It is Pam sharing with you today.  I have another Easter card with a vintage twist from our wonderful Spring Release.  I don't know if you have check out the crosses in our store or not.  But if you haven't there are some really gorgeous ones available in many of the spring releases past and present.  Just search cross and you will see all of the beautiful cross dies available.

Design Steps:

1.  Use and A2 off white card base and distress the edges with a distress tool and then add a vintage ink to the edge

2.  Cut out the pieces for the front using the Flourish 1, Easter Cross w/Flowers and Spring Meadow.  Glue your cross together.  Cut a piece of DP Script paper 2 1/4 x  3 1/4 use a corner rounder and then distress the edges the same as the base of the card

3.  Cut a piece of DP dark green 4 x 3 and a piece of DP Script 4 x 3 scallop if you would like.  Wrap a piece of purple lace around the pieces as shown above and then glue to the front of the card base  

4.  Glue down your rectangle of the script DP and then glue down the flourish

5.  Glue the cross to the script DP rectangle as show above Add your little purple flowers to the floursih and the flowers on the cross

6.  Using the Faith Sentiments cut out risen in metallic silver card stock.  I cut it out twice and glued them together.  Add it to the card front along with the purple butterflies as shown below

Easter Peekers

 Hello Friends

It is Pam sharing with you on this fine Thursday.  I hope you all are doing well.  I am continuing with making my Easter cards using our New Spring release.  Today I am using Spring Windows w/Peekers.  Stacey,  a friend,  that teaches card classes at a local store made a really cute card using this sketch.  I loved it so much I thought I would give it a try.  Thanks for the inspiration Stacey.

Design Steps:

1.  Use a mini slimline base measuring 6 1/2 x 6 1/4 folded in half.  Cut a piece of Flower DP, Checked DP and pink card stock 6 x 3.  In the flower DP use the 4th from the largest Pierced Circle to cut the hole. In the pink card stock cut the hole using the 5th from the largest Pierced Circle making sure they line up

2.  Glue the pink behind the flower DP and then glue the checked DP behind the pink card stock (make sure not to glue to closely to the hole so you can slip in the bunny and chicks)

3.  Using the Spring Windows w/Peekers cut out the bunny and chick on: grey, yellow, orange, black, pink and blue card stock.  Color in the eyes with a fine tip black maker and add the white dots to the bunny's eyes with a white gel pen.  Assemble the pieces with a fine tip glue

4.  Glue in the chick on the right first then add the bunny and finally the chick on the left.  Add the little paws and chick feet

5.  To decorate the top left of the circle cut out blue flowers and greenery using the Spring Gnome Cottage die.  Glue them to the card as shown below and then add your sentiment

Easter

 Hello Friends

I am filling in for Wendy today.  I am starting to make a few of my Easter cards to get a little ahead.  The New Release die I am using is Baptism.  It has several really nice pieces that can be used in a number of different cards such as Easter, Weddings, Baptism and Sympathy.

Design Steps:

1.  I am using a mini white slimline for a base 6 1/4 x 6 1/2 folded in half.  Using the second from the largest Stitched Rectangle Slimline die I was able to make the cuts work using yellow DP.  Cut orange flowered DP 5 1/2 x 2 3/4.  Last cut a piece of orange dotted DP 5 1/2 x 1 3/4 and use a border punch on the bottom of it

2.  Ink all of the edges of the white card base and the DP before you glue together.  Glue down the yellow to card base next the flowered DP and last the dotted DP as shown above

3.  Using the Baptism die cut out the pieces in brown wood DP, white, yellow DP, and black (black Bible and little orange flowers not pictured). Cut the squares from yellow DP with the 4th from the smallest Pierced Square die

4.  Glue the squares at a diagonal as shown above.  Pop up the church in the middle, glue down the Bibles and the Cross flat.  Add the little orange flowers cut with Sending Hugs Bear add little pearls to the inside of the flowers and glue down your sentiment
