Easter at Full Speed

I finally sat down today and had a couple hours to stamp some Easter cards.  Luckily, Kim Hughes came to my rescue!  I just got her adorable Sweet Spring set from Ellen Hutson's store; the images are big and bold enough to stand on their own, and I managed to make 14 cards--they varied from CAS to a little more stepped-up, all in just a short time!

My first batch of six used the egg image, stamped on SU's Prints DP.  The bow looks paper-pieced, but it is actually colored in with markers!  I added a simple scalloped border with my MS punch.

My next batch was a set of no-layer cards (no pun intended!!).  If you could see these close up, you would realize that I am terrible at coloring in images and am desperately wanting some Copics---soon, perhaps!  But aren't these little chickies cute? 

Finally, my stepped-up version was the final batch:

I am just in love with this little lamb!  A little hill of retired Holiday Treasures DP, some ribbon and a button, and it is complete! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also made a little bag topper with my new Nestie label die:

This will go into a big box of goodies I am sending to my niece and nephew.  Hopefully, my sister will restrain herself before the kids get home from school!  I sent plenty, so they all should have enough sugar to last them for quite a while.  And while we're talking candy here, I have to share with you what my friend Mary Anne made:

Yes, it looks like a deviled egg......but it's CANDY!!!!

Isn't that amazing?!  I wish I could see the look on their faces when they open these up!

Thanks for visiting, if you have any questions, shoot me an email.  I apologize for being lazy and taking pix on my messy desk, but next week will be a little less hectic!
