Cricut Crafted Easter Cards

Hi all, I have been missing for a while but I am back with my final round of Easter Cards.  Finally got them all finished last night and plan to mail them out tomorrow.  I have three cards today.  I think the kids are going to love them.  The first card is an Easter basket card.  I used one of the new Cricut Digital cartridges Easter for this card.

This card was really quick and easy to put together.  I think it is the little touches with the ribbon and stickles that make the card special.  I am entering this card in the Fantabulous Cricut Egg challenge this week.

Card Recipe:

• Easter basket cut from Stretch your Imagination at 4.4"
• Eggs cut from the digital cartridge Easter at 1"
• Happy Easter from digital cartridge Easter at 2"
• Ribbon from Michaels
• Crystal Stickles

The second card is a tulip Easter card.  This was another really simple card to put together.

Card Recipe:

• A2 sized card
• Bunny frame from Elegant Edges cut at 5.25" (This is the oblong feature)
• Tulips from digital cartridge Easter cut at 3.25"
• Banner from the Ultimate Creative Sampler cut at 1"
• Swiss dots Cuttlebug Folder

The third and final card is an Easter bunny card.  This is a shape card made by welding two images in the Cricut Craft Room.  The card base is the stamp shadow from Elegant Edges.  I welded two of them together to make the shaped card.  I am entering this card into the Easter challenge at My Craft Spot this week.

Card Recipe:

•  Card Base is the stamp shadow from Elegant Edges cut at 5.5"
• Card frame Elegant Edges cut at 4.9"
• Bunny with carrot from Simply Charmed cut at 4"
• Happy Easter is done using Gypsy Font cut at 1"

Hope you enjoyed the cards and have a wonderful Easter.  Thanks for stopping by.

Shaped Easter Cards - Part II

Hello all, hope you are having a great weekend.  We are having a wet one here on the east coast.  So wet the Easter Egg hunt for today was cancelled.  That's okay though, because we are still going to head over to our friends house for dinner tonight, should be fun.  We today I am continuing with the Easter theme here.  I have made two really cool shaped cards to give for Easter.  These are incredibly easy to do with the Craft Room by Cricut.  Here is the first card.

This first card is made from the Create-a-Critter cartridge.  There is the image of the cracked egg.  I placed this on the mat in the Craft Room and then copied and flipped it horizontally.  I then welded the two eggs together to make the card.  I then used scrap pieces of pattered paper to make to stripes on the egg.  I think this is one of my favorite cards I have made to date.  Just came out so darn cute.  Oh and again, all the paper for this card came from my scrap paper bin, yeah!!  I am entering this card into a challenge over at the Twineology blog.  

Card Recipe:

• Cracked Egg from Create-a-Critter cartridge cut at 4"
• Chick from Create-a-Critter cartridge cut at 3"
• Twine from Timeless Twine
• Flower and button from stash
• Google eyes from dollar store

The second card I have for you is along the same lines but a different shape.  I used the same welding method described above in the Cricut Craft Room to make the card base.

Card Recipe:

• Hatched Chick and layers from Simple Charmed Cartridge cut at 5.5"
• Spring ribbon from Michaels
• Scrap pattered paper for the polka dots

If you would like the cut files for these cards for the Craft Room or the Gypsy let me know and I will email them to you.  Hope you have enjoyed the cards and have a fantastic weekend.

Easter Cards - Part 1

Hi all, I hope that the week has been going well.  I finally got to some crafting last night and made my first of several Easter cards that I will be making this year.  I love this time of year because it means that everything is in bloom and there are new beginnings.  This first card that I made really has all the bright colors that I love.

I base the color design around the ribbon.  I don't have any Easter stamps so I let the ribbon do the work for me.  Also all the paper used on this card was from my scrap bin.  I get excited anytime I don't have to use a brand-new piece of paper.

Card Recipe:

• Card base is 5" x 5" white card stock
• Scalloped matting is cut from the Elegant Edges cartridge at 4.75" 
• I used the Cuttlebug polka-dot folder to emboss the mat
• Bunny scene is from Kate's ABC's cut at 3"

I will be posting many more Easter/Spring cards as I get them finished.  I am entering this card in the weekly challenge over at My Craft Spot.  Thanks for stopping by, I am now off to get my hair done, yeah!!!!
