Hippity Hoppity Easter Time

Happy Sunday :-)

 

While snow finally covers the ground here in Denmark, there is no denying that Spring is on the way. Yes we got our portion of snow really late this year - but we got it so I'm happy.

 

We are now in the month of March and this year that means the Easter month. I guess that is why this little fella decided to move in with us - Bunny 3D Spheres Figure from SnapDragon Snippets.

He is made from AC Cardstock in Chocolate and Black along with glitter paper in Pink and Doodlebug Design paper " Easter Parade". The small jewel is from my stash and I dotted his eyes with a white Sharpie. You can find the tutorial for him here

 

He is so ready to meet all the other Easter creatures around the house and I bet there is going to be some new additions this year too.

 

Thanks for joining me today - hope your weekend is awesome and that you get a lot of spring crafting done.

Cup of Cocoa ~ with Cyndy G

Hello today I want to share with you a cute card I made with files from SVG Attic.  I made the steaming cocoa mug box card from JGW Snowflake Stars.

I changed the file a little.  I added a "flap" to the front of the card.

I used the extra optional piece and welded it to the card base.  NOTE:  If you are using Silhouette you will weld the two pieces together.  If you use SCAL (like I do) you will have to break apart the base then select the two pieces and under path you will select "Union".  If you don't break the base apart you will lose the fold lines.

 I added some bling to the center of the snowflakes and used the cutout from the cup on my front flap.  I added a small piece of foam tape to pop it.  The paper is Doodlebug Sugarplums that I had left over from last year.

Thank you for stopping by.

Too Cute To Spook

Hello and happy Sunday :-)

Today I want to show you the cute Halloween Lanterns I made from the SDS Glowing Halloween kit

 

I wanted them to be cute and not too scary as I am giving them to a special Family School that I attend with my youngest son who has ADHD. This school only has about 8 families at a time - mostly Mother and child and is a place where children who has difficulties being in their own school/class can come and get help with these difficulties.

So I made the lanterns with AC Cardstock in Black, Cricket, Blossom, White and Squash along with patterned paper from Doodlebug's "Boos and Brews" and "BooVille" - these papers are just perfect for this project.....don't you think?

 

As I know that the lights in  these lanterns will be turned on and off every day and this might cause the bottom contraption to tear,  I adjusted the bottom slightly to make an easier access for the candle.

Here's how and what I did on my Silhouette Cameo:

1. I placed the shape (for keeping the candle in place) on top of the bottom shape and chose "release compound path."

 

2. Then I removed the square and left the circle in the bottom shape.

 

 

3. I then chose "release compound path" on the bottom shape.

 

 

4. I removed the square from the bottom shape and chose "make compound path" on the remaining shapes.

 

 

5. This is what it should look like.

 

 

6. I finally cut out the piece along with 4-5 shapes for the candle-holding.

 

 

This way the candle rests on the table and is easily accessible to turn on and off. Should you want to hang the lantern instead, do not use this method as nothing is holding the candle.

 

 

 

I really can't wait to see the kids reaction to these cute colorful lanterns. Halloween is still a pretty new thing here in Denmark but its becoming more and more normal year after year. Still there is a HUGE lack of Halloween decor and I've taken it on as my personal mission to make and bring in more of it everywhere I go :-D

Come Rain or Come Shine......

.....from the Soundtrack of the Danish Summer. It has pretty much been the crappiest summer in history, but as I see it, not everything has been bad. The temperature has been very pleasant with a minimum of hot humid days and the sun has been know to shine on occasion :-D

 

This weather inspired me to make this Birthday card to a girlfriend of mine whose Birthday is here in August. It could easily have been made for a spring Birthday but that's just my point - we have practically no seasons anymore. It's either Spring or Fall - no more Summer or Winter.

 

 

The cute card is designed by Cyndy Gustashaw and is part of her Box Cards 2 Kit.

 

I used AC Cardstock in Lipgloss, Cricket, Robin's Egg, Melon, Daffodil, Chestnut, Black and Bayou along with patterned paper from Doodlebug Design - Spring Time and Wood Grain patterned paper also from AC.

 

I inked all the edges with inkpads from Prima and used a white Silhouette Sketch Pen to write the sentiment (it says Congratulations in Danish) on the sign post.

 

Thanks for stopping by - hope you love the card as much as I do :-)

Easter Chick ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday - thank you for stopping by.  Today I am sharing with you a darling little chick box.  He is so cute and pretty easy to put together.  He can be found in the SDS Hop To It kit.  I also made some carrot boxes from JGW 3D Button Jointed Bunny.

Isn't this chick just the cutest!  There are slits in the front of the box that you can thread your ribbon through, it is very handy.  However, if you don't to add a ribbon - it comes with an option without the slit.  The box is a nice size.  You could fit several small pieces of candy in it.

The carrot boxes are super easy and you could make a lot of these in a small amount of time.  You can fit two boxes on one sheet of paper or shrink them down to fit more.

I used some Doodlebug Design paper I had in my stash.

Thank you for stopping by.

Leprechaun Kisses ~ with Cyndy G.

Hello friends.  Thank you for stopping by.  Today I am sharing with you a card from the new kit JGW Leprechaun Kisses.  This card is so cute and easy to put together.  If you need a quick card for St. Patrick's Day, this is the one.

I used Doodlebug, Happy Go Lucky.  The paper fit this perfectly.

I also used some Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine to add a pop of pink. 

I could see this card being used for many different occasions just by changing out "leprechaun".

Thank you for stopping by today.
