Happy Easter X 18

I made these cards for the babies in the NICU I work at to give to 

their parents on Easter.  As soon as I saw Melissa's new series 

"Polka Dot Parade," I knew I wanted to use them for this year's cards.

I bought two of the dies, to make my work easier.  During  

the February countdown at PTI there were many cards using

the bunnies with negative die cuts and tags, and I have seen others 

since then.  I liked the idea of tags and negative die cuts. 

 I  worked assembly line fashion using three colors ~ 

Blueberry Sky, Summer Sunrise and Aqua Mist.

This is also why this is my first post for the week on Friday ;).

 I am entering them into five challenges ~ 

A Passion for Papertrey ~ to use a negative die cut

CASology ~ Song 

(There are many songs that work for these cards ~ including:

Little Bunny Foo Foo, Easter Parade, Here Comes Peter Cottontail,

Funny Bunny and Bunny Hop ~ to name a few.)

Moxie Fab World ~ Emphasize the Negative

Simon Says Stamp ~ Easter / Spring

52 Card Pickup ~ always anything goes

   

I made these for last Easter. 

Supplies ~ 

Stamps:  PTI Take Three: Spring

Paper:  PTI White, Blueberry Sky, Aqua Mist & Summer Sunrise; Pattern Packs in the same colors

Butterfly Jewels & The BEST Easter Card

A simple but very labor intensive card for the Jeweled Color Trends Challenge at Embellish Magazine.

 

Create a card, layout, or altered item with jewels (including sequins, beads, rhinestones, gemstones, and pearls) and using the color palette showcased in the inspirational graphic above.

Jewels are a perfect way to dress up any project. You can add them to an embellishment or to the actual layout to create a design. It’s all up to you and we can’t wait to see what you create!

I stamped the butterfly trail from Baby Button Bits, and then cut another piece of paper and placed it under the stamped one, and poked tiny holes to use as a template for my stitching. Then I back stitched each bead along the "trail."  At the end I stitched along the entire trail to make sure the beads were all aligned.

Supplies ~ 

Stamps: PTI Baby Button Bits, Pretty Peonies

Paper:  PTI Soft Stone & White, SU Baja Breeze

Ink:  SU Baja Breeze & Wisteria Wonder

Additional Supplies: 15/0 Seed Beads Sea Foam Lined Crystal (#263) & Gilt Lined White Opal 

     (#15-551), Sulky invisible thread

When I came home from work on Easter, I had the best card waiting for me ~

Supplies ~ 

Stamps:  Hero Arts Easter Greetings, PTI Heart Prints, SU The Gifts of Spring

Paper:  SU Marina Mist
