Easter Cross Card

Happy Easter! He is risen, He is risen indeed! The card I created for Easter was inspired by the memory of my Aunt Sharon. Every Easter my Aunt Sherry would decorate the cross in the front of our church with flowers .I always looked forward to seeing how beautiful the cross would look at sunrise service on Easter morning. My aunt was instrumental in decorating our church and she always made it look so beautiful! Love you and miss you so much Aunt Sherry!

I used a whisper white card base with a blushing bride mat. The mat was embossed with the subtle embossing folder. I used the ornate frame dies to die cut the frame surrounding the cross. The sky was sponged with balmy blue, blushing bride and highland heather. The cross was first embossed with the pinewood planks embossing folder, and then cut out with Cross of Hope die. The mountains were stamped with the Mountain Air stamp with soft suede ink. The grass and lavender were stamped from the My Meadow and Beautiful Moments stamp sets.

The flowers and leaves were die cut using the Cherry Blossom dies.

I just love to shape flowers. I find it to be relaxing. Hope you will try something new today. Maybe it will be paper flowers. Until next time, create something special to celebrate the gems of your life.

Honey Bee Tunnel Spinner Card and Gift Box

This card is defiantly a WOW card! I CASED this card from a UK demonstrator on YouTube. I didn't want to change a thing about the card. I absolutely loved her design! It took a lot of time to figure out this card even with very clear instructions. I had the opportunity to teach this to technique to fellow demonstrators at my upline's team meeting. Everyone really seemed to enjoy this card! 




Inside view of the tunnel card with bee spinner.

Since the card was so thick, a box was needed to house this beautiful card. What a wonderful presentation! The belly band is used to keep the box closed tightly.

Used daffodil delight Stampin Blends to color in the Bee DSP.

Enjoyed making the Bee hive from the Bee DSP!

Until next time create something special to celebrate the gems of your life!
