Happy Easter Card

My absolutely wonderful SU rep, knowing I lost out on the green markers,  gifted me a package of Olive Green Blendabilities last week.

So of course I had to get to work on one more Indescribable Gift card making good use of them.
Here is the result:

I opted for yellow this time around and kept the card very simple with layers of white to keep the focus on the lovely blossoms. I also decided to add a touch of sparkle with random, tiny, rhinestones and a little glitter.

I wanted to feature the image inside a beautiful cut frame so I used a die to cut my frame and my coloured image. I used the negative/inside for the front of my card and the actual frame cut from the image on the inside to carry over the blossom theme.

Supplies used:
Cardstock: Recollections 110 lbs white
Stamps: Indescribable Gift - SU, Easter Blossoms - SU
Markers: Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Soft Sky and Skin Tone Blendabilities - SU
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Die:  Twisted Metal Tags and Accents - Shapeabilities - Spellbinders
Embossing Folder: Petals-A-Plenty - SU
Misc.: 1/16" and 1/8" clear rhinestones, 5/8" light blue organza ribbon, Foam mounting squares, Diamond Sparkles - PSX

Sheep Easter Favour

Today I am sharing the last of my Easter favours. Of course this is also made with the Curvy Keepsake die (you may wish to buy it if you don't have it yet). I love the shape of this die. It is so versatile. And if you'd rather just make a cute punch art card you can just trim one handled side and place this cute critter on a card front.

My sweet little lamb is holding a TicTac container but any little treat will work.  Here's a side view that lets you see the contents a little better.

Supplies used:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Ink: Crumb Cake, Strawberry Slush, Smokey Slate, all SU
Die: Curvy Keepsake - SU
Punches: see below instructions
Misc.: 5/8" gold organza ribbon, white gel pen, rose/pink chalk

Full instructions below.

Little Chick Easter Treat

In my opinion, this is one of the cutest favours I've managed to make from the Curvy Keepsake die to date. My adorable little spring chick, she's perfect for Easter.

Again the little tummy is filled with a treat, this time it's 2 peppermint patties. I forgot to use foam mounting squares to attach the head so it was a little tougher to get the bow under the chin, but I managed to make it work.

Supplies used:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Ink: all SU - Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango
Die: Curvy Keepsake
Punches: see below list
Misc.: ribbon (seam binding - Always Artichoke - SU), white gel pen.

Full punch art instructions below.

Bunny Easter Favour

You probably knew this was bound to happen; I created a few more treats/favours from the Curvy Keepsake die for Easter. First up is this adorable bunny treat wrapper.

His tummy holds a little clear bag with 6 chocolate eggs.  As you can see I was very diligent and finished him from the back as well, although this is optional.

 

His head was attached with foam mounting squares for a little added dimension. This also makes attaching the bow a lot easier as that way there is a nice little gap between the body and head to fit the bow into.

Supplies used:

Cardstock: Bazzill

Ink: all SU - Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Blushing Bride

Die: Curvy Keepsake - SU

Punches: see below instructions

Misc.: white gel pen, foam mounting squares, 5/8" yellow organza ribbon

Full punch art instructions below.

Easter Basket

I'm a bit of a sucker when it comes to pretty boxes and basket dies (you may have noticed). So when I saw SU's basket Bigz die it made the top of my must have list right away.
I haven't had much time to play with it just yet but did manage to make one pretty little Easter basket last week.

I embossed the cardstock with a basket weave pattern before die cutting the pieces. I sponged a little ink over the surface to emphasis the texture a little and assembled it.
It comes together quite easily but to me it's a tad plain if left as is. I added organza ribbon to the handle and finished the sides with a little bow. The front of my basket features a punch art lilac blossom.

and the top of the handle, I just couldn't resist, I added a pretty butterfly die (sponged with several coordinating shades of ink)

Supplies used:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Die: Berry basket Bigz - SU, Butterfly Basics Thinlits - SU
Embossing folder: basket weave - Darice
Ink: all SU - Crumb Cake, Wisteria Wonder, Always Artichoke, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black
Punches: Itty Bitty Accents (4 petal flower) - SU, Blossom Petal (largest) - SU, Bird Builder (leafy stem)( - SU
Misc.: 5/8" organza ribbon, foam mounting squares
