Easter Message card

Hello and welcome to the post for today where I am starting my Easter card series and hoping you find some inspiration in the projects that I share with you. This is a clean and simple card with a little water-coloring, stamping and die-cutting. My new obsession is water-color and it seems so much easier than blending with markers or pencils. Take a look at the card below and let me know what you think.

1. Create a card base from Very Vanilla card stock to measure 5 ½’ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.

3. Die cut an oval from the water-color paper and adhere to the DSP layer. Stamp the cross image on another piece of the water-color paper and using the water color palette color the image in, let dry and then cut out the image with the Brother Scan ‘n Cut machine (or if you like fussy cutting, go for it).

4. Pop the image up with 3M foam tape and adhere to the oval in the center of the card.

5. Stamp the sentiment on water-color paper using Soft Suede ink and ink the edges with Perfect Plum ink and a dauber. Adhere the sentiment beneath the focal image using the foam tape.

6. Sprinkle 3 candy dots on the card front.

Here Comes The Ice Cream Man- layout

Hello and welcome to today's post. I have a layout share that features the Echo Park Playground collection and the Heidi Swapp Project Life kit along with some exclusive alphas from the June Hip Kit. This layout was hard to put together for the challenge over at Sketches in Thyme (#205) but loved the collection I chose for the photos I was using. I had taken my son over to the mall to go to the indoor playground and while waiting for it to open he spotted the powered ice cream truck that made noise. Of course Michael just had to ride and he looks like he's really enjoying it. Take a look at the project below and let me know what you think. . Supplies used: Echo Park Playground collection, June (main) Hip Kit alphas, Heidi Swapp Project Life kit (the stars), Cherry on Top DSP (SU), Summer Starfruit cardstock for the background(SU), ATG tape runner and Mini glue dots. I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will check back often for more inspiration. Tha...
