Easter Week.......

Hello everyone. Welcome to day two of Easter Week. Kel and I really tried to make each card different.  It was not easy, but I think we accomplished it.  Stay tuned all week and let us know what you think.

The recipe of our card was:

The little girl is from A Child's Year, page 33. we flipped her to face to the right, and cut her at 3.25"  

The eggs, and butterflies are from Doodle Charms, pg 89

The punch is from Fiskars and the papers are from our stashed and of course inked up (we have an inking problem, lol).

The sentiment is from Inkadoo.

Thanks for stopping by!!

50th Male Birthday Card

Over the weekend, Dawn had a 50th birthday party for her hubby and Kel and went with our hubbies.   We had a great time, eating and talking and just relaxing!!

I made this card for Dawn's hubby, he has been fishing a lot this year, so I thought this was appropriate.
My recipe:

Child's Year Cartridge - Page 38, the little fishing guy with the pole, cut at 2 1/2" and shadowed.
Fiskar's Wave Border punch - used three different blues from my stash for the waves
Life's a Beach Cartridge - page 58
Cricut Keystone 1.50" for the number 50
Kraft paper

I hope he liked the card!!

BLOG HOP - BLOG HOP - BLOG HOP

Welcome to the Basket Case Blog Hop!! Kel and I are so excited to show off our fun Easter centerpiece we made. We started with a glass vase measuring 6 x 5.5 we purchased at JoAnn's with a coupon. We used vinyl to decorate it. We used the following cartridges for this project, Plantin Schoolbook for the grass page 69 cut at 7"x 3" and A Child's Year page 33 for the eggs cut at 1.5" x 1", the clouds were from Create a Critter page 28 cut at 3" x 1.5." Feel free to add spring flowers, or butterflies if you make one of your own. We cuttlebugged the images using Tiny Mossiacs, Swiss Dots, Divine Swirls and Bubbles. The adorable pink and blue treat holder 3D eggs were made by Dawn on her silhouette. This was such a fun project to do and it was so easy to use the vinyl. Basically cut, peel and stick and your project is done. We have been having so much with vinyl that we are GIVING AWAY 4 PIECES OF 12 X 12 VINYL to a lucky winner during this blog hop (check side bar for prize).

So please be sure to comment, following is OPTIONAL and we will pick one winner from both days of comments. So if you comment both days you have a better chance of winning!!

Top O' The morning to ya!!

Good morning and Happy St. Patty's day!!! We thought since we are all in the green spirit and since everyone is Irish on St. Patty's day we show you a few cards that Dawn O'Sullivan and Laurie O'McCormack (not really our last names, we have to protect the innocent, but we have to be Irish today after all) did.

This first card is by Dawn. Here are her deets, "All cuts with the Silhouette, including the Leprechaun, who is a Print and Cut. Swiss dots folder for the embossing, PP from the stash. Stamps are Studio G." I love, love this little leprechaun! Such a happy old soul and the Kiss Me stamp is so cute!! Thanks Dawn!!

The next card is mine, I have to say my inspiration came from a card we received in the mail from Kate over at Small Bits of Paper, thanks Kate!!

My deets are, the pp is from a stash I had, and I had an 8x8 piece of paper and only one and I made it work for three cards. The stamped shamrocks are stamped with versamark and then I put PearlX over them. I love these little stamps, they are Dawns as well as the sentiment.






















Here is a close up of the Shamrock. I cut this from A Child's Year and I believe it was cut at 2". I outlined it in white pen, as it was hard to see on the green paper. I also used a glitter pen on the inside to make it pop. Ribbon and bling from my stash.



Thanks to Dawn for the awesome photography of the cards!!
