Adorable Easter Chick + Floral Stamped Background


Cute and sweet and colorful, too!  Love this little Easter Chick.  He's all ready for you to download, if you would like to create a little Easter something with this cutie!

We had an early Easter in Savannah.  Dennis went with me (Lauren gave her daddy tickets to the Savannah Home Tour for his birthday).  I stayed with Louisa while they visited all the houses.  Below are a couple of pics from Louisa's first Easter Egg Hunt...

Do you like to create stamped backgrounds?  If you haven't tried it yet, I've got a few tips.



To make a stamped background easier, you can start with colors in your image.

If you are using large and small stamps, start with the large ones.

Use odd numbers.  For example, on this card there are 5 pink flowers, 5 green leaf branches and 3 yellow flowers.

You can turn the stamped image all different directions and stamp some off the edge.



Fill in with smaller stamps.  

Use the theme of your card.  I added Easter egg stamps to this one.

Use dots!  I really like the dots on Mama Elephants Water Blooms stamp set.

Finally, these "rules" are all made to be broken!  Go with what you like and just have fun!

Dropbox seems to work differently for different people.  Either right click and save when image appears or click the download button in the top right corner.  If neither method works, email me and I'll send the files to you. 





I took some eggs and our old easter basket (poor Dennis had to lug it through the airports) that was used by my uncle, me, Lauren and now, Louisa.  After breakfast, we stopped at one of the squares in Savannah.  Her Daddy put out the eggs.  She loved carrying the basket.



Here she is, figuring out that there are goodies inside.  Louisa took all the eggs out and lined them up on the ground.  This is why I use all my money and fly to Savannah every three weeks!

Happy Easter!

Easter Carrot Treat Box + Free Template +MicroFine Glitter Tag



Bunnies and carrots go together, of course.   And so do bunnies and carrot treat boxes.

I've got a carrot treat box template for you to download below.  You can print it right on top of your favorite carrot paper.  

And I've got a video that shows just how easy it is to make.  



On the video, I also share some tips on making a tag with micro fine glitter.   This is the cool highlights version.

It's super hard to photograph just how lovely this glitter is.  It really is my favorite.  I used it on THIS card (with warm highlights) and used my copics to color on top of it!  So very cool!

Here's the video:

I'm going to be taking this carrot to Louisa, my little honey bunny.  Do you have a little honey bunny (or a big honey bunny) that would enjoy an Easter Carrot Treat Box?

Easter Girl Card with Inlaid Die Cuts


We had a bunny:  Little Bo Binkin.  He lived 13 years.  He loved cinnamon toast and would actually beg for it.  He really like carrots, too, but cinnamon toast was what he lived for!

Isn't she sweet with her little bunnies?  These bunnies obviously love carrots!

The background of this card is really pretty with inlaid die cuts.  Packs a lot of punch for something so easy!



I just got these pretty medallion dies and think they're perfect for this technique.



Basically, inlaid die cuts is just placing the die back into the negative space created when you cut the die.  Simple, but effective.



This Easter cutie is ready for download if you would like to create a little something with her.

Little Bo was really a great pet, but he had one BIG problem.  He would chew anything and everything.  Furniture feet?  Yummy.  Couch pillows?  Yummy.  Lauren's toys?  Yummy.  When he was out we had to watch him like a hawk.  It was a little stressful.  At least, I can enjoy these cute bunnies without having the chewing issue!

Have a lovely week!
