HOP HOP Easters on it's way

Spring is HERE!!!!  Well almost.....for us in the Midwest it's still wonky weather with 32 degrees one day and 50's the next.  The grass is still brown and I for one still have a tiny patch of snow hanging on to the north east corner of the deck.  It has been a very very long winter with a Polar Vortex whipping through that had us all in below zero temps.  So to speed things up a bit I thought if I made some Easter Cards spring would show her face.  So on Friday a friend and I got together and made these adorable Easter Cards.  What a delight it was to see such a sunny day the next day.  With kids out playing and dads raking up some of the fallen leaves they missed last fall.  Then all to soon (like the very next day) the temps fall again and its a "chill to the bone" rainy day.  I guess we'll just have to dream of spring for the mean time and enjoy the cuteness of these little cards instead.

The first 2 are 5" circle type of cards.  Not sure if there is a name for this type of card but its pretty simple.  We cut out a 5" piece of white card stock and a 5" piece of double sided DSP.  Cut the DSP in half and attached a small border strip to the flat ends.  Then the bottom is glued to the white circle and the top piece is attached with a brad that is hidden by the flower.  Little bunnies were die cut out and the eggs were fussy cut. Bahtta boom bahtta bing.  Done.



Second card even easier.  We went through scraps and punched 3 ovals (yep not even egg shaped).  Found an embossing folder with these cute little tulips forming a frame and positioned the eggs (ovals) along the bottom.  We then used a bright color for the base.
Now I just need 4 more Easter cards for toddlers and I should be done!
Maybe the weather will warm up again with the next set I make?  Maybe?
Hope spring come to you soon.

Til next time...........................
HAPPY CARDING
