Easter Cards

Before we left for a few days of camping

(and before our snow returned to Wisconsin!)

I had a chance to make a few special

Easter Cards.

 

I really like the effect of embossing twice in two different colors
 and then cutting and piecing areas back onto the first.

 



 

This one I used an Anna Griffin floral die

and Memory Box Phlox.

I used chalks to color the Anna floral die cut.

 

 

One more card cutting out a shape of embossed cardstock

and raising it with another

design die underneath the window.

I recycled that pretty flower sticker from

a discarded name tag!  Too pretty to throw away!

 

All of these were new techniques for me and

I have to say I like them!

 

Thanks for stopping by....

 

This is what we woke up to Monday morning!

Hope it's nicer where you are!

Wendy's blog.

so you get all the details of winning

some $20 gift certificates,

then just head on over to the DeNami Blog

 

My first card I wanted to try real buttons

just because I don't often use them.

 

Tying those tiny twine knots through the buttons was almost

impossible!

Now I know why I so rarely do it.

As you can see, I just had to use the DeNami

little bow and button stamps.

 

This didn't quite turn out like I wanted so

I made another card using the

DeNami floral swag.

I love how I could put two together

across the card.

 

 

I couldn't decide which way I liked the card turned,

so I made both!

I liked the softer look of these two cards.

I use a lot of bows on my cards

but I found it was fun also adding buttons!
