"Dollar Store" Easter Cards!

     I have five grandsons, ages 5-9, and although they enjoy getting the cards that I have made,  my time spent making them does not equal their appreciation of the cards!  When I was wandering through the local dollar store, I saw some Easter window clings, Easter gift bags, and Easter egg stickers.  I thought to myself, "Hmmmm???  Why don't I use these items to made the Easter cards for my grandsons?"  So here are their "Dollar Store" Easter cards!

My newest grandson (age six months) will get this cute Easter bunny card made from a gift bag.

His brother will get this bunny card with additional Easter eggs that I made from a window cling.

My five-year-old grandson who lives in Virginia will get this Easter card made from a gift bag.

I made the Easter "basket" from a Spellbinders hexagonal die and added some Easter egg stickers that I found at the dollar store.

The only card that I made for my grandsons that did not have embellishments from the dollar store was this twist fold card that I made using papers from Michael's.

Hopefully they will all enjoy their Easter cards!

When It's Spring, It's Easter!

My 11-year-old granddaughter loves the color purple, so I decided to make a two-tier Easter card for her in shades of purple.  Instead of having a tab or ribbon to use to pull up the second tier, I used a butterfly.  I needed a purple flower, so I dyed a white flower using a blender pen and a purple stamp pad!  She also loves bling, so I applied glitter to every one of the eggs!

Celebrate Easter!

I recently made a triple tier birthday card for my daughter.  However, when it came to making an Easter card for my granddaughter, I could only manage two tiers!  It is really hard to put embellishments on the layers that are hidden "inside" the card, but I did manage to get a little chick to pop up and say, "Celebrate Easter!"

In Sympathy

     I recently had to make a sympathy card for a dear friend whose father unexpectedly died.  She thanked me for the card and showed it to her friends and relatives who came to her home after the funeral.  I was able to CASE a card by Mary Fish that featured a unique fold and closure.

A Triple Tier Slider Birthday Card

Update:  My card was chosen as one of the "Top 3" by the PIO Design Team!

I was checking Pinterest for some fancy fold cards and came across this triple tier slider card posted on the Stamp With Heather blog.  My daughter's birthday was March 1, and I thought it would be the perfect card to celebrate her day!  Although the directions were posted, watching the video really helped in making the card.  Needless to say, my daughter was quite impressed with the card!

This is the second "tier" of the card.

This is the third "tier" of the card.
