Easter

 

The end of March brings the beginning of April, and all things Easter!

Sending out the last of my Easter greetings today, and sharing this one

made with The Greetery's Spring Meadow Background, Bountiful Wreath

and, some blooms from Spring Meadow.

The sweet Easter eggs are from a group of eggs from SSS.

Springs of spring are Tim Holtz Thinlits called Flower Field.

And of course a favorite from Tim Holtz, Mr. Bigz Bunny Die.

I love putting scenes like this together. So therapeutic!

Wishing all of you a blessed spring and Easter!

Harvey and Me

 

Anybody else head over heels with Tim Holtz' newest release? Love, love love, 

Harvey. He's a sweet, petite soldier guy, you can colorize any way you like. And

I like! So much do I like Harvey, I did 3 cards, and plan to do more.

Harvey can be dressed and festooned, with or without eyes and a mustache, boots, gold, boots,

any color, and anything else you want to add. 

Harvey no. 1 is dressed in bright red. And I borrowed the idea of putting him in front of

TH's iron gates, from one of the TH designers, which are really for Halloween, but are so 

darn clever I couldn't resist.

The background, ah yes, the background. Well, I don't know what it is. I found the 

embossed panel in my stash, rubbed pine oxide ink over it, then lightly rubbed copper

paste over the lifted images.

The banner is a combo of TH Deck the Halls and a leftover banner from the

Greetery (Joy to the World?)

Card 2, features Harvey on a swag built with dies from Holiday Brushstroke 3.

All over Tree Rings EF. Let me just say, this panel started off white. Then rubbed 

with Oxide Inks until I was happy.  

Be Merry: The Greetery

Harvey no. 3 took me the longest. I don't know, every thing I did just didn't

see to come together. I was finally happy with this version. 

Here's the recipe:

Background: TH Layered Plaid, which is 3 dies

Oval: Memory Box

Background in pink: TH Pine Branches

Harvey

Candy Cane & Presents: TH Santa's Helper

and Tree: Twig & Stump

thanks for hanging in, hope you enjoyed!

3 Lattes, Please...

Hi there, and Happy Holidays... almost.

Seriously, with Christmas season sneaking in, my craftroom is all set for Holiday card making.

I transformed the new, Warm and Wonderful from the Greetery,

into 3 Christmas card greetings.

This first card mounts the coffee mug on The Greetery's large Wood Slice, and

I stamped my sentiment on the smaller one.

Background was created with Tartan Builder Diagonal. I also added a few florals

from Merry Sprigs.

With a background made from Tartan Builder Diagonal again, this mug is 

mounted onto a vellum oval, and the sentiment from Hug in a Mug is 

embossed onto it.

I added a floral bouquet to this one made from Merry Sprigs, and some greens and berries

from Warm & Wonderful. Frosted Frames finished the card.

The third card is stamped with The Greetery's Print Shop Calico, and stenciled with 

reds and greens. The little tag is from Hug in a Mug Sweets. The oval is stenciled 

with Berry Branch, one of my favorites to use on cards. Stitched framed is from 

Spellbinders.

Back to the craft room, it's going to see a lot of me for the next few months!
