beautiful scenery card

This is a fun technique to try.  I saw this demonstrated, you choose

a designer series paper that has a scenery.  Cut two pieces the exact size,

I cut mine 4 x 5 1/4".  Set one aside. 

Take your other piece and start cutting it into 1/2" sizes till you are done.

Now it's time to layer and adhere the pieces to the card. 

In doing so, you will leave a space between adhering each "slat".

You may have a few pieces left over. Just discard them. 

This is the end result.  It gives you a 3D effect. 

Pretty cool huh?

Just add your greeting and there you go, doesn't need much more to pop! 

Perfectly Peared

Using up the rest of the perfectly designer paper, 

This is the last of it!

They turned out so pretty! 

These card are very easy, just cut the designer paper

and fussy cut a few pairs and add them with dimensionals

to make them pop. 

Perfectly peared round 2

Happy wednesday!

Back with round two of the perfectly peared set and designer paper. 

I have officially used up all the scrapes from this paper series.It's fun to fit all the pieces together to make the quilt card. 

Perfectly peared...

It's was a perfectly pear weekend!

I pulled out this gorgeous paper and decided to try and use it as

I have been with many other designer papers lately.

The patchwork/guilting technique. 

I cut my card a regular sized A2 then used cut strips of the paper

at 1 1/2" each.  Take your adhesive and add pieces, they will hang

over the base of the card.  Just cut away the excess when you have the

card filled.  It's like a little puzzle and a great way for you to use

up your pieces of small amounts of paper.  

You can also cut your strips smaller if you like. 

This paper gives me Hawaiian vibes....

I used the aqua painter to color in the pear with coordinating ink tones.

Have you tried this technique yet?

If so,  send me off your pics!

Easter table setting

Better late than never right?

Sharing my Easter table setting for Easter. 

These napkins are so sweet.....

You can't tell in the photo, but these napkins are a sweet subtle

sage green color. 

I found these adorable plastic chocolate bunnies at Hobby Lobby.

They open up so you can fill them with treats. 

I tend to lean into using what I have on hand,

so out came the dried hydrangas I had on hand.

That cutie antique vase I found at Target. 

The wood Easter tomb I found at Walmart. 

Pretty simple table this year.

We had a wonderful day celebrating Easter with family and 

friends.

I made these deviled eggs and saw online how to cut the

little bunny egg. 

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Hoping today finds you walking in freedom, joy, and the authority of the risen Christ today and everyday knowing that His life in you in is greater than anything that comes against you. 

How cute are these bunny cupcakes?

To get started I found this package of Lindt candies at Costco for $9.97

their are 51 pieces in the package which is a lot of candy! 

Start by making some chocolate cupcakes, let them

cool. You can buy or make your own chocolate

frosting.  Once cooled, frost and set aside. 

Get some graham cracker crumbs, put them in a ziploc bag

and add green food coloring.  Shake the bag around

to cover the crumbs til you get the desired color of green

you'd like. 

You want to get the color of moss the best you can.

Once achieved, roll the top of your frosted cupcakes into the 

crumbs to coat.

Unwrap your chocolate bunnies and insert a toothpick through the

bottom, push into the top of the cupcake. 

You'll find these are very easy to make.

Now,  I hope they taste good!

You can't go wrong with chocolate cupcakes......

and these are so whimsical and fun! 

Happy Easter!
