MPS NSD Challenge # 10

This challenge was to make a May Day project or something springy. Well when I think of spring I think of flowers and what better project then a daffodil card from the Easter Mini cartridge. Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening.

Easter Tag

Here is a quick Easter Tag I made for the treat bags I put together for my nieces and nephews for Easter. Everything was cut out using the my Cricut Expression and the Easter Mini Cartridge. The scalloped eggs are the shadow feature of the 1st egg on the cartridge, the bunny is the shadow feature and decorated with stickles. The grass is also from the Easter Cartridge. The doodle dots where made using a Signo Broad white gel pen and the sentiment was hand written using a Sharpie Fine tip marker. The ribbon is just plain Kraft ribbon I bought from Target. Thanks for stopping by and as always comment are appreciated. Have a great week.

Quick & Simple Easter Card

Here is a quick and simple Easter card I put together last night in about 10 minutes. I needed a little scrap therapy and this is what I came up with.

Its a standard A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2). The patterned cardstock mat is cut at 4 x 5 1/4. Both the egg and the scalloped shadow was cut at 3 1/2 using the Easter Cartridge. I really like this cartridge it has some fun but dainty cuts on it. The flower is colored in with Stickles. I used Cotton Candy and Eucalyptus. For the dots I did the same colors. The ribbon is a sheer pink that I believe I picked up from Wal-Mart, my bows are not the best but it works. The doodle dots around the scallop was done using my Signo Broad white gel pen. Thanks for stopping in and looking. As always comments are always appreciated. Have a great day.

My Son's Challenge

So today my oldest son gave me a challenge. He asked, "mommy what is your favorite color?" I replied "Purple." He asked "why are all your cards made with pink then?" So that got me thinking, and this is the card I came up with. The flower is cut from the Easter mini cartridge @ 3 1/2 inches with the shadow as well. Its a simple 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card.

The mats are 4 x 5 1/4 , 3 3/4 x 5 , & 2 3/4 x 4.

The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper Stamps, The Simply Sweet Occasions Set. All the edges are inked using a dark purple pigment ink from Studio G. The second mat was embossed using the Victoria folder by Provo Craft. Thanks for stopping by and looking. Comments are always appreciated.
