Last Minute Easter


Hi and welcome, everyone! Can you believe we are already peeking into April? Today I'm over on the SVG Attic Blog sharing last minute Easter goodies for the family. Did I mention the family wasn't supposed to be getting together this year? Well, they weren't and that brings us here, me sharing last minute treat bags and a basket of goodies. The Easter Basket was already done but I figured I would share everything since I did take the time to make it. Oh, and let me mention, everyone in my family thinks they are too old for cutesy Easter fun so I decided to do "grown-up" treat bags for everyone. (Some days I can't roll my eyes hard enough at these people I call family!) 


Using SDS Carrots Mini Treat Basket that I found in Silhouette Design Store. I ran the cut-out pieces through my BigKick with a basket weave embossing folder to add a little texture and add Distress Oxide Ink in the color Walnut Stain. I'm telling you this is the easiest basket to create. It does come with a really cute mini carrot to decorate but I left simple. 


For the ladies in my family, I used pretty floral papers from my stash to create these fun treat bags using the Apple Treat Tote from the SDS Store and filled them with a few pieces of yummy chocolates.  This is my go-to treat bag because it's so easy to create. 


Just by changing the paper to a masculine paper I created bags for the guys, too. 




Rooting For You + A New Mood Board Challenge



 Hi, and welcome, everyone! Today I'm sharing another fun card featuring the Raisin Boat Oops!A Daisy Stamp Set. And course, the gorgeous new mood board from SumMore Fun Blog. 
 If you link your project up over on the SumMore Fun Blog you have a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the SumMore Fun Online Store. 

I'm so inspired by the fresh flowers waiting to be potted from this mood board. In the large picture, on the left, you can see a few of the exposed roots and that's what pushed me to work with this sentiment. The sentiment "Rooting for you" inspired me as well. Roots spread and grow in all directions, leaving empty space here and there, allowing new growth. So, I mimicked that with the sentiment by randomly stamping on the card panel leaving lots of open space. 


This card is super easy to create. Just follow the steps below.


  • Stamp the flower onto #80 Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Paper using Memento Ink in the color Tuxedo Black
  • Color with COPIC markers R81, R83, R85, G20, G24
  • Fussy cut manually or with Scan N Cut machine (be sure to subscribe for a chance to win a Scan N Cut April 2nd)
  • Using a stamp positioning tool randomly stamp the sentiment on a 4.125"x 5.25" #80 Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock using Distress Oxide Ink in Bundled Sage 
  • Adhere card panel to a 4.25: x 5.5" Kraft card base using fun foam or 3D mounting foam
  • Add 3D mounting to the back of the flower and center on the card

Quick and simple, right?

Rosette Cards


Hi and welcome, everyone! Today I'm taking over the SVG Attic blog today with a few cards featuring these beautiful Rosette A7 cards.  I started out making one and decided I had to make another card featuring this very unique rosette. 



 For the Easter card, I used the rosette, label, and banner from this file. 
I cut the rosette using Authentique 12 x 12 Micro Basics, the label and banner are cut from #110 Neenah cardstock, the Egg is cut from Doodlebug Paper. I used the negative from the egg cutout to add Distress Oxide Wilted Violet to the label to layer the egg over. Finished off with sentiment and a few gems. The egg can be found in the Silhouette Design Store under Snapdragon Snippets - 9 Easter Eggs. All this is layered on an A2 card base. The purple mat is Doodlebug Paper cut to size.


This is the card that started this well, actually, I've been dying to use this paper, MME In Bloom Kit, for a while now and I knew it would pair perfectly with this elegant Rosette Card.


This is the actual A7 card base that is included in the file cut from #110 Neenah Cardstock, matted with MME In Bloom, the labels are black cardstock and MME In Bloom, the rosette was cut from the MME In Bloom along with the circles atop the rosette. I finished it off with a sticker from the kit and black enamel dots.



I hope you'll give these cards a try. I think you will be surprised how easy they come together. 
As always, thanks for joining us.

Perfect for a small Easter gift. 
The gold paper is actually a poster board. I purchased this at Hobby Lobby in the Art Department. 
It comes in a 22" x  28" sheet, I cut it down to the size I need. You can also buy silver, acetate, vellum, and more like this.  So be sure to check out next time you go.
