HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!                                                                                                     

I wanted to share my 4 Easter Treat Boxes I have made for my Grandchildren... These were so much fun to make... 

The first white bunny, the brown bunny, and the chick are cut files from Digital Delights by Louby Loo.  The hair on top of the head of the two bunnies is my idea.  The last bunny was my idea and it was made with my cricut.

SPOTTED PUPPY FRIENDS FUR-EVER                                                             

I loved doing the first doggy card so much I decided to try to make the spotted doggy on the cricut cartridge Create A Critter 2.  I did the hair the same as I did on the first card ...by using a squashed flower from Mother's Day Bouquet cricut cartridge.  But this time I also try to make it look a bit more shaggy...by making cuts in the flower here and there.  Plus I made two squashed flowers... one colored cream and the other colored brown... and cut them into two pieces so I could make the hair 2 toned to match the doggy's head...I did match the two-tone hair to the two-tone head this time...but next time I am not so sure it would line up so well... pure luck this time I guess.  Below the card is more info about doing that Spotted Puppy.

Cartridges:  Create A Critter 2
                   Mother's Day Bouquet.

Other Items used:  Cardstock, printed paper, Baker's Twine and Peachy Keen 1 3/8 inches Happy go-lucky dog face.



Challenges:  Wednesday Card Sketch Challenge
                     Exploring Cricut
                    Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #150 Fun with Puns
                    My Crafty Spot Monday Challenge #88 Pop It Up

You can get the Cricut Craft Room file for this spotted puppy here.

These are the squashed flowers... glue the tan flower on top of the brown flower.  

There is a dotted line on the tan flower in the picture above so if you cut it in that area it should work well to match up with the head of the puppy at least mine did. 

Now glue the  half tan and half brown pieces to the full brown flower... I then cut the flower petals  into more petals so it looks a bit more shaggy (see the card above).

 Then glue the flower to the puppy's head.

READY FOR SPRING!!!

So I decide to make a SPRING FLOWER card ...

Letters and the Triangle:  Art Philosophy

Party Hat:  Cupcake Wrappers

Frappe:  Love You A Latte 

The paper I used for the solid colors were Colorbok Textured Cardstock Pack - Spring Pastel.

Also the triangles are about 8 inches high and the triangles with the letters above the triangles are just a tiny bit less then 12 inches.  So I was able use just one 12 x 12 sheet of color cardstock for each color.
