Vintage Easter Cards

Hello everyone and happy Friday! 

I wanted to pop in real quick today and share some vintage Easter cards...

They feature really sweet images and papers from Authentique- Best of Springtime collection. I used several different die cuts and all of the edges were distress with Antique Linen ink.

That's all for now- thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the Easter weekend!

Good morning everyone! 

Today I'm sharing a couple of Easter cards that I made with my new Tim Holtz/Sizzix Carrot Bunny Dies! I think these bunnies are so cute!! 

The background on my first card was created with Lindy's Magicals. I used a Lawn Fawn die for the grass and part of an Impression Obsession die for the tulips. I sponged several different colors of Distress Oxide inks onto a heavy watercolor cardstock and then cut out all of the pieces... some were so small!  

The background on my second card was created with Distress Oxide inks. Once dry, I stamped the script and postage stamp using a Stampendous stamp set. I used a Simon Says Stamp die for the sentiment and a Cuttlebug die for the flowers.

Here's what the inside looks like on my second card- Stamping Bella and Tim Holtz stamps were used.

These cards took a bit of time to assemble but they were so fun to make! :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

Good morning everyone!

Today I'm sharing a few of the Easter cards that I donated to my Local Ronald McDonald House... When I checked with them last week I was so happy to hear that they still wanted the cards! So with the 'social distancing' guidelines in place I was able to drop off a large box of cards! :) I hope they brighten a child's day!! 

They feature cute images from Bugaboo Stamps and are colored with Copics. I colored the first two lime green and purple but they look blue in the photo especially the one on the right :( I used Penny Black & Avery Elle dies for the stitched rectangles and My Favorite Things dies for the stitched square, fishtail flags and flowers. I finished them off with a  little detailing with a white Posca pen, enamel dots and Nuvo Crystal Drops.

We'll that's it for today- thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the Easter weekend!

Good morning everyone!

Today I'm sharing my latest Art Journal/Calendar page with you...   

For the month of April I wanted to create a fun Easter page and include Valerie's 'Geometric Shapes' theme over at Art Journal Journey. I think my page fits the bill... I have a cute Easter chick, lots of circles and squares AND I managed to make it extremely bright... nothing makes me happier than bright sunny colors!! :)

 The background was created with Distress Oxide inks, Simon Says Stamp grid stencil, Prima Marketing border stamp and a Carabella Studio circle stamp. I used 4 different stamp companies for the sentiments and several different dies & punches for the chick, flowers, buttons and numbers... way too many to list!

Well, that's it for now... thanks so much for stopping by- I really appreciate it!
Take care and stay healthy.

Good morning everyone!

I wanted to pop in today and share the Easter card that I made for my 

wonderful In-laws!

 I was searching the internet for a vintage type Easter image and came across this coloring book website... Isn't that bunny adorable?! It's colored with Copics and the sentiment is computer generated. I used a Sizzix die for the Dotted Rectangle and a Tim Holtz die for the double stitched rectangle. MFT dies were used to create the flowers and I added Walnut Stain ink to the edges to give it a vintage feel.
It's on it's way to Arizona right now, I hope they like it! :)
