Easter Project and Giveaway


Thanks for stopping by this Saturday morning... I have had several emails/requests on how I created these adorable chicks for my cards/projects this past week, so with that being said... I will include the details on this Blog post.

For the egg, I used my oval Nestablilites.  After the oval was cut out, I ran it thru one of my favorite embossing folders by Quickutz called Polka Dots.  I then used a pair of my pinking scissors and cut thru the center of the oval. 

For the baby chicks, I used the following punches.  Head (SU 1 1/4 Circle Punch)  Body (SU 1 3/8 Punch) Hands (SU Small Heart Punch) and Chick Hair (Martha Steward grass punch - left over scraps)

***My chicks on today's card/project were created with the following supplies:  Pail - Archivers, Cardstock - SU Crumb Cake, Almost Amethyst, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Pretty in Pink and Pumpkin Pie.  Border Punches - Marth Stewart Grass and Bunny (both punches are hard to find) **The chicks nose can be created using a corner of any square or star punch.  For the eyes, I used my Close to Cocoa marker. *All shapes were sponged using the corresponding ink to make it pop.


Before I go, I also wanted to share a quick card I created for a friend of mine.  Quite a simple card to mass produce and looks quite fancy with all of the layers & embossing...

Please leave a comment, one lucky winner will receive one of my Easter cards and some twine.  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 12th.  Enjoy your weekend!

As reported by Stanford Medical, It is indeed the one and ONLY reason this country's women live 10 years longer and weigh an average of 42 lbs less than we do.

(And realistically, it is not about genetics or some secret-exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING to do with "how" they are eating.)

P.S, What I said is "HOW", not "what"...
