hippity hoppity Easter's on it's way

Hello my crafty friends.  I can not believe Easter is almost here!!  It seems like I just put away Christmas decorations.  But I have to say I really enjoyed making Easter cards this year.  Being on the KaDoodle Bug Designs' design team has sure made it easy and fun.  Melissa sure makes some amazing files.  For example the cute file " Cute little Bunnies".. I made the card above using it.
I used the following supplies to put it all together..

CTMH Bamboo cardstock
CTMH Pixie Cardstock
CTMH Crystal Blue Cardstock
assorted rhinestones from Bo Bunny
Happy Easter stamp from CTMH
Easter egg pattern paper from Hobby Lobby
Black micron pen
Tim Holtz distress inks..Broken China and Worn lipstick and Vintage Photo

I hope you like today's project and will leave some love.. to get the bunny file used check out the shop here,

Jelly Bellys

Good morning all, I am back!!  I have been on a little hiatus...hubby had a lot of doctor appointments and hospital stays. to keep me busy and when not taking care of him been babysitting, and of course housework.  But, I did manage to craft a little here and there, so happy for that.  With Valentines day come and gone, and Easter around the corner, I decided to make a few Easter treats to share as well as sell.   For these I used a few of the KaDoodle Bug Designs files listed below
Scales and Cotton Tales

Cute Little Bunnies

Eggie Buddies~Carrot Bunny

Shabby Winter Birds

I used mostly Close to my Heart cardstock, I love the colors.




I had some treat cups from Close to my Heart and punched the holes in the die cuts to add it and added Jelly beans and then a circle punch to cover the back of the cups.
I had such fun creating these , hope I inspired you to create some too.
Have a crafty day... Cathy
