Happy Easter everyone! This is just a quick post since I have to get ready for brunch & church. I haven't been able to be on my blog in the past couple of days because my craft room is currently being put together and I can't even get to my desk. You would laugh if you saw how I had to type this post as well as make the cards for my neighbors last night.
Sadly this was my first Easter not hosting anything big. Easter was always my holiday to have everyone over. So for a change we went to the Army base for a brunch with some friends. I wanted make a card for them but didn't have much time. The night before I spent all I could coming up with these easel cards.
The first one I made for my friend's who just lost their mother. Her favorite colors were purple and lime green so to honor her I stuck with those colors. Those are colors I am not usually used to but I tried. And the other one I came up with playing around with my new Spellbinders cross set. This was the first time I actually realized how to stencil the die cuts! To make them feel even more special I put the cards in an envelope! LOL! I tell all my friends...you know you are special when you get an envelope!.........told you I was a hoarder!!!
I put both of these cards into one post because of my time frame this morning. Sorry!
