Easter Cards

Happy Spring!  Today I wanted to share with you some Easter cards I made.  

 

For these card I needed a custom size, so I made the card bases from card stock that was trimmed to size.  To make a custom size card base, determine the desired width and length of the card.  Trim card stock to the longest length, then double the width and trim for the width.  For these cards I started with a piece trimmed to 7 1/2" x 11" for a finished card size of 7 1/2" x 5 1/2".

 

I embellished each card a little differently.  Ribbons were attached with brads and strong adhesive.  Some pieces were "scraps" from other projects, like the blue rhinestone swirls on the flower card.  These "scraps are perfect for little embellishments on cards.

Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

Die Cut Heart Mobile

I got a cricut not too long ago and wanted to share one of the projects I created with it.  I had seen a cute mobile at a Saturday Market and had been wanting to make one of my own for awhile so that was one of my first projects.

I used the inside of a hoop ring for the top and white thread is criss crossed across the ring to allow me to hang strands around the inside and outside.  For the hearts I used my cricut to cut the shapes and I love that with a press of a button you can flip and cut the mirror image.  Then I cut lengths of thread and attached two hearts back to back at several points on the thread.  Attach each strand to the hoop or a piece of thread in the middle until you get the desired look.  Then I covered the hoop with ribbon. 

This is one of my favorite projects and will definately be making another one soon.
