Happy Easter Shaker

Today I'm playing at the Cutie Pie Challenge where they're looking for Easter/Mother's Day designs. I'm excited to see colorful flowers in the yard again so I thought I'd share this Easter card featuring a beautiful Layered Crocus from Waffle Flower Crafts. 
Instead of patterned paper, I created my own with a four layer Daisy Pattern stencil. It was easy to ink in primary colors.
I used a nested egg to create a focal point for my crocus and Happy Easter Duo sentiment. By cutting two of the nested die eggs at the same time I created a frame in solid pink.
If you look close you'll see that the egg shaped frame actually is the foundation for a shaker filled with colorful and sparkly sequins!
Even though this is a shaker design, it's still relatively flat as you can see from this angled photograph.
Wishing you sunshine and happy Spring days!

Easter Fuzzies

Today I'm sending you some total cuteness with an Easter card featuring the Pink & Main Easter Fuzzies Stamp Set. This set includes the sweetest bunnies and chicks perfect for your Spring and Easter creations for friends and family!
Whenever I receive a new stamp set I stamp multiple images and then color them in different shades. I cut them all out with the coordinating die set, and then when I'm ready to make everything is ready to go. These images were super easy to color with their clean line designs. My bunnies are uncolored except for a touch of blush for rosy cheeks and insides of ears.
I arrange my images on a piece of clear cardstock the same size as my card base. This really helps me decide what top put where before I commit and adhere everything in place. This time I decided on a Reverse Scallop circle die cut to create a focal point for the sweet images.
I love that this set even includes a few sentiments AND that the matching die set has cut outs for those too! So everything I need to make with this set is included in the stamp and die set - no label die or separate sentiment stamp set required!
My background papers are from the new Pop Flowers 6" paper pad. I appreciate that the cover of the pad has a sample of each pattern in the pack and is made of the same paper as the prints in the pack. I actually used the cover of the pad for the background papers on this card so there is little waste.
If you haven't made your Easter cards, there is still time and I know you will appreciate that these come together quick! Enjoy your day and I hope you find some time to make it all!

Fruity Cake

Can you believe it's Monday already? Where did the weekend go? I hope your week is off to a good start!
 
Today I'm playing along at Cupcake Inspirations where this time they want us to go tropical with our birthday designs. I could use a sweet escape!
Can you believe that there are some people that don't really like cake? That certainly DOES NOT include me (as my waistline can attest), but I can appreciate some people want a healthier sweet alternative.
The images on my card are from the Waffle Flower Fruit Cake stamp set! I love all the different accessory pieces in this set that allow you to choose the cake toppings.
Sweet little bears and mice are the bakers who are serving up this special birthday treat! There's even little forks and cake knives.
My background is a gold hot foil splatter that I inked with soft distress ink colors. I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle from the A2 Lacy Layers die set.
Have a great day and I hope you find some time for your own sweet escape!
