Easter Express

Hi, everyone.  Today I'm sharing a project using some of the new Doodlebug Easter Express cutting files. available at the Silhouette Design Store, or If you have a different type of digital cutter like a Circuit, you can purchase SVG files from the Lori Whitlock store.

You can see more details on this project on the Doodlebug blog and I also have it listed at my Etsy store, JenniBean Studio.

The train comes with three cars in total, which you will see in the listing, perfect for Easter treats or decorated eggs.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Hello Sunshine

Hello, everyone. Today I'm sharing a project featuring the new Easter Express collection by Doodlebug Designs.

All the details on this project can be found on the DB website HERE. :)

Easter Express

Hello, everyone. Today a have another Easter project to share. This time featuring the new Bunnyville collection. I found this little train set, in the kids craft section at Joanne's and decided to turn it into an Easter, treat holder.

Each of the larger cars had a roof, so I carefully removed them. Then I covered over the windows with chipboard before I started covering them with patterned paper.

The majority of this project used patterned papers from the 6x6 paper pad. The smaller prints worked perfectly for the scale of this project.

For more details on this project check out my post on the Doodlebug blog.

Easter Egg Hunt

Hello everyone. With Easter just around the corner I decided to create a project that would get everyone in a Spring mood. The project features Doodlebug's new Swiss Dot Petite Prints, which come in a array of bright, fun colors.

For more details check out my post here.

Inspired by....

Hello everyone!  Today I have a small Easter wall hanging to share.

This was done for a "inspired by..." design team challenge. The inspirational piece, by Shelley McDaniel can be seen below. 

More details can be found on the Doodlebug blog.

A couple days after completing this project, I decided to attach it to a wreath I had made last year. So here's a look at another option to try.

Additional Supplies:

 Digital stamp - Dorky Prints (bunny)

Silhouette Cutting Files - fence and 3d bow 

Easter House

Hello everyone. Today it's my turn to share a project on the Doodlebug blog. I created this little Easter house using a cutting file, which can be found here.  I changed the design slightly by cutting out the door and curling up the ends on the roof.  I also decided to use stacked box lids for the base, instead of cutting out the base provided.  The finished size of the piece is approximately 6 1/2" x 10".

For more pics and details you can go HERE. Thanks for joining me today.

Peace, Love and Happiness

Hello everyone! It's been a while, but I'm back and ready to share a couple of fun Spring projects with you. I should have posted this on here last month, but luckily this wreath can be adapted to fit any season. I used lots of paper twine on this, one of my "go to" supplies, lately! :)

Full project pics and directions can be found on the Maya Road here. One thing not mentioned on the MR blog are the file Silhouette files used. They were chick holding egg, 3d rolled spiral flowers, 3d layered bow, and scalloped borders.

My next project is a piece I created for a guest spot for SVG Cuts.

Here's a link to how it was made and the files I used.

Easter Busket!???

Hello again!  Sorry about the "busket" pun, but I couldn't resist. :) Today I'm sharing another CHA project, that I created for the Maya Road booth. This is actually a project I did for Halloween (you can see it here), but was asked to do another version of it for the show. Just by changing the papers and stickers, you can see how you get  a completely new look.

I would have filled the bus with chocolate carrots or mini eggs, but back in December when I created this, I couldn't find anything Easter related. Imagine!!! (lol)

 

Plumeria Projects!

Hi all!  Today I'm back with a couple projects I should have posted a while ago. Both of these projects use Basic Grey's Plumeria collection which is versatile enough for a lot of different occasions. I used the collection for an Easter word sign and Spring gift box. Since Easter is long gone I'd better share that project first!

I got this "Easter" sign from Hobby Lobby last year, in their after season sale. I basically just covered the whole thing in patterned papers, used some crochet trim around the edges of larger letters and then used some fun  chipboard  and accordion sticker embellishments to finish it off.

Here's a close up. Don't you love that navy blue patterned paper! :)

My next project is a gift box just in time Spring! This is a pattern I've used before by Tonya Renee. It's just too cute to use once.

For the yellow ruffles around the rabbit's neck I separated the Buttercup in Bloom petals before hot gluing them around her neck. The pink flowers on the headband from are from a Blush in Bloom blossom,  I just added mini pom poms to the center of each one.

Thanks for stopping by,

Collage Press - Design Day

Good morning, guys! Today it's my turn to post my assignment on the Collage Press blog. I know it may be a little early for some of you guys to be thinking about Easter, but honestly I've been in such a "creative slump" lately, that when I came up with this idea, I ran with it!!!! :)

For more details you can visit the Collage Press DT blog here.

See you soon,

Easter Treats

Happy Wednesday to you! I just wanted to post my last project for Creative Cuts & More. This die-cut is their Tug & Close Bag. I decided to make it into a mini Easter basket! I covered the whole thing with Scenic Route patterned papers. Stitched along the handle of the bag with embroidery floss, then embellished it with ribbon, buttons and some chipboard. One craft supply I can't seem to live without lately is the berry garland. This one is actually a Christmas garland, I just cut off a few branches and painted the berries light blue to match the rest of the project.

Supply List:
Creative Cuts & More - Tug and Close Bag #2 die cut
Scenic Route - Patterned paper, chipboard and sticker.
K & Company - Patterned paper
Pink Paislee - Ribbon (light teal)
Making Memories - Ribbon (pink)
Autumn Leaves - Buttons
Lasting Impressions - Buttons
Kaiser Craft - Pearl (black)
Prima - Bling flowers
Other - Berry garland, paint and twine

Creative Cuts & More is having a "March Customer Challenge." The theme for the challenge is Love/Wedding. You still have plenty of time to order, create and enter. This is a great opportunity to try some of the CC&M die-cuts and a chance to WIN a gift certificate to their store. Go check it out!!!! :)

See you soon!

This chick gets to go to CHA!!!

I know, I know the chick is pink, but I had Jaiden with me when I was buying the supplies for this and she suggested PINK! ...... How could I to argue with "The Queen of Pinkness"!!!

This little chicka gets to go to CHA next week! So I'm pretty excited about that! I'm not going, but hopefully I should be able to go to the summer show.

Okay, so this is another wood craft I found at Hobby Lobby.
Here's a picture of the piece before it was altered, so if you want to make one you'll know what your looking for.

For most of this project (except where noted) I used the Helmar Craft and Hobby PVA Glue, perfect for wood crafts like this, because your paper doesn't bubble and has a fast drying time. So basically, I just made a little sign using chipboard, covered it with some patterned paper and added chipboard borders. Then I added a few embellishments, brads, ribbon and some strips of patterned paper. The chipboard letters and stickers were glued onto the sign using Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. They needed to stand out more, because the background was so busy!

The edges of the egg and feet were painted and then I covered the surfaces with patterned paper.
The chicks head is a large pom pom with the ribbon and the eyes stitched into place. A beak was made from cardstock and patterned paper was then glued onto the pom-pom, using the Helmar Premium Craft Glue. I cut another pom pom in half and used the loose fur to cover the lower part of the chicks body. The leftover fur was used to create a wing.

Since I decided to put one of the chicks legs at an angle, I mounted it onto a 3"x5" oval base to give it some strength and stop it toppling over. The little basket shown was made out of a wood napkin ring.
