A Quartet of Easter Images -- on a card!

If you're looking for a sweet, beautiful and easy card, this is it!  Silhouette's Online Store offers this quartet card -- four equal squares of seasonal images, lined up on a card that you size and cut -- tah-dah, that's it!



I cut this card using my Silhouette Cameo. The papers I chose were Daisy White and Cotton Candy by Close To My Heart. 

Are you hosting Easter brunch or dinner?  Wouldn't this cut be pretty on a placemat?

Some Bunny Loves You

Today's card leading up to Easter 2014 is the one I made for my darling Granddaughter, Charlotte:


This card is a modified tri-fold shutter card, so that the inside/back of the card has room for a full panel greeting. I cut this from a template I found online, as developed by Sandy Allnock.  I used papers from Jillibean Soup; the cute bunny on an Action Wobble is from the Silhouette Online Store (SOS) and is cut using the Silhouette Cameo.  The sentiments are also cuts from the SOS.

Charlotte's looking forward to a basket of goodies from the Easter Bunny -- much as she loves chocolate, her basket will include her greater love: books. It's amazing to see a 3-year old's inquisitive mind learning to read, sounding out words, and spelling her friends' names.

Tastefully Elegant Easter Egg Card

It's the week leading up to Easter ... what better time to post the Easter cards I've made for family? 

First up, let me show you the card I've made for my parents, who live in Naples, Florida.  This card is "tastefully elegant", much like the two who have loved for going on 63 years!



To make this egg-shaped card, I used a file from the Silhouette Online Store, and modified it just slightly. I cut it on my Silhouette Cameo, including extra of the flowers (using Close To My Heart's White Daisy and Bamboo cardstocks) to layer atop of the flowers in the design. 

To give the flowers extra dimension, I burnished the cut flowers so the paper softens and curls as I rubbed. I adhered them with glue and topped each with a pearl.

I popped up the entire top cut layer, using foam tape.

Rumple Ribbon Thursday - Easter Bunny Parade!

Happy almost-Easter, CardMonkey fans!

I'm here with a quick post to show you a quick and sweet card I made using a Hambo Stamps digi-stamp, Copic Markers, Rumple Ribbon and some seasonal paper:


I printed the sweet image onto EZ-Blend Copic Paper and went to town, coloring this fun image. I trimmed it up and rounded the corners. Next, I inked the edges using CTMH's "Cotton Candy"  Exclusive Inks applied to a CTMH ink dauber. 

Next, I punched semi-circle cuts at either side of the bunny, using a Sew Easy Ribbon punch.  I thread through the slits some sweet Rumple Ribbon (this one's from the Panther Pink On the Edge Collection), and tied a bow.

I mounted the image onto a piece of pretty scrap paper, and then onto a 4x6" card I'd made using CTMH's Daisy White cardstock, using foam tape for dimension. Finally, I embellished the parading eggs with CTMH Liquid Paper and dashed on some CTMH pearl gems. Ta-dah! All done.
