Easter happenings

Happy good friday friends~

I made this crown of thorns for Easter. turned out pretty cool.

Good friday is our reminder that when everything feels lost, when darkness

seems to take over, there is HOPE on the way! 

These cherry blossoms are just beautiful. You can walk all around the Washington Arboretum and they are in full bloom.  Great place to take the family for Easter if you want to walk or do an Easter egg hunt.  I you haven't been it's a must!

A look at one of my table settings this season.

Do you like to host for Easter?

Dollar Tree bunny cups

Happy sunday!

Head on over to Dollar Tree to grab some of these cutie cups and pink napkins.

You can also find candies there, but I just grabbed some from Target. 

Start by unfolding your napkin to a square.

In the center lay some of the candies you have.

It doesn't require a lot.

Angle like a diamond shape and fold in half then keep folding up

till you get it to this point below. 

Now fold it right in half to create the bunny head with ears,

adhere it by using a piece of ribbon to tie a bow. 

Fold in half like this and tie a ribbon around it into a bow. 

Add the cute little white pom pom for the bunny bum.

Add it to your cup and there you have it!

You can add these to your Easter table or just gift them to your family/friends, etc. 

Fluttering garden

Here they all are in their glory!

The last card revealed from the Fluttering Garden kit.

I love the simplicity of this one.

Large but stately.

I also added glitter to the wings of this hummingbird too. 

Which was your favorite? 

Stampin Up! Fluttering Garden

Card two, day two of the fluttering garden paper pumpkin kit.

The colors in the kit are so vibrant.  I added a little bit of pumpkin pie

ink to the flowers in the background to tie the card together. 

After I took all the photos I ended up adding glitter to the wings of 

all the lil' hummingbirds.  

There is one more card to this kit that I will post on sunday. 

Stay tuned! 

Stampin Up! Fluttering Garden

Just a taste of the gorgeous Fluttering Garden stampin' up!

There are three cards to this kit.

I will show you a few more in the coming days. 

She's a beaut! 

Patchwork cards

Happy monday!

Check out this fun card you can try,  I am trying to use up

my scraps.  To make this card cut your scraps at 2" x 7 inches long.

cut some white cardstock 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

Start at the corner with your first piece leaving 1/8" in between

pieces.  Keep going til your done, then cut away the overhang. 

Choose your image to layer up to center in the card.

I added some sequins to the flower centers for a little pop. 

Easter money card

Happy saturday!

Here's some blasts from the past.

Do you remember the mason jar set and framelit?

I found it in my stash and decided it would make a cute

Easter money card. 

As always I used what I had on hand, checked out my cardstock

and found this striped background paper and also the bunny from 

a past paper pumpkin set.  

I added the five dollar bill to the mason jar to send off

to a little someone. 

Easter is a comin'!
