Sew a Tree

Currie made this card, and I know this says Easter, but you could use this idea at any time this spring and summer.

You can draw a tree or use a stencil. Poke holes on the outline.

Currie used variegated embroidery thread for the green leaves and brown for the trunk of the tree.

She stamped and colored the chick, bunny and grass around the tree.

Mount on brown card stock and then mounted on lighter brown and stamp a saying at the bottom. Finally mount on a card made with kraft card stock.

Jelly Bean Tag

Isn't this a great tag that Currie made?

You can cut a tag out of light tan or a file folder.

Punch a small circle and glue it where the hole will go.

Stamp the outline jelly bean all over tag and color. I am not sure if you can see that Currie used Smooch on the highlights of the jelly beans.

Stamp a couple of background stamps to add interest.

Stamp Happy Easter with blue ink, cut out and use ink to distress around the edges and glue to tag.

Stamp frame, color around the edge and cut out. Stamp Spring in the center.

Stamp bunny, color and cut out and add to tag.

Stamp saying on colored paper, cut out and glue to Tim Holtz Fragments.

Cut burlap a little bigger than tag and fray edges and glue to tag.

Punch hole with Crop-a-dile, put pink ribbon through the hole and add safety pin.

I think this would even make a cute door hanger!

Happy Easter !!

Wanted Easter Bunny

Who doesn't Want the Easter Bunny?

A Wanted Easter Bunny by Currie

She stamped and colored the bunny on the poster stamp on light colored card stock then colored the outer edge of the poster with dark marker. She cut around the poster and mounted it on kraft colored card stock then on black which was put on a white card.

Currie stamped the word 'Wanted' on white card stock, cut it out and mounted it on black then to the poster.

I think anyone would find this card humorous for Easter.

Get Well with Feet

I hope you never have to use this saying, but if you do, here is an idea.

First I used the tag stamp and stamped the saying on it and cut it out.

Then I stamped the feet stamp on the printed paper as well as on Cyrgen white paper.  I colored the feet with Copic and then cut them out with the flower.  I cut off the flower stem, but since I stamped it on the printed paper it was there.  I stamped the flowers that I normally use with the small feet and put them on the tag.

The grass is the Martha Stewart punch.

This saying is also the Martha Stewart punch with the Crackebox Palace stamps.
