Happy Easter!

Hi, this is Jen from 3 Cats and a Bug.

I actually had all my Easter cards done (it's been a long winter lol), but I love this bunny from the Nursery Tails Imagine cart, so I had to make another card! He was cut @ 3, True size. I added a left over bow from the Easter 2010 cart. The butterflies were cut @ 1.5, True size. I added stickles to the body and glossy accents to the wings. The grass was also cut with the Easter cart and stretched in Design studio. The Happy Easter is leftover, so I'm not sure on the size of that. The trellis is from StoryBook, cut @ 1, also a leftover.

On the inside of the card I used the other butterfly, the bunny cut @ 1 True size and flipped. The lined paper and border were cut @ 4 True size with some green ribbon added.

Imagine Christmas Banner!

This banner took me a lot longer than I thought it would.  But I had fun

making it.  I used the word Christmas for my banner.  Next time I

should use the word Joy, just for the sake of time! 

I folded 9 triangles out of green paper and cut 9 scalloped circles using

the Accent Essentials Cricut Cartridge.  I keep my chalk in a set of

drawers I got from Home Depot and used the same dark green chalk to color

the triangles and scalloped circles.  I used a hole punch to make a hole in

the edges of each scallop.  Then I glued the circles to the triangle and

covered the entire thing with Glossy Mod Podge collage glue to seal in the chalk

to keep it from getting messy.

I used the Storybook Cricut cartridge to make the letters.  I used gold

glitter glue to embellish them.    Then I used a Martha Stewart
punch to make the red border on the top of the triangles using regular red
cardstock.  I punched a hole on each side of the triangle tops and used a
brad to attach them together.

It's not easy getting a good photo of shiny crafts!

I threaded white buttons with green floss and used a sticky dot to stick them to

the front of the brads.

Then I glued a bow made of red floss and onto the bottom tips.  Finally, I

used a thread and needle to secure the jingle bells on the very bottom.

Thanks for reading!
