I made an Easter card I wanted to share with you today. I had this egg punch that I punched a bunch of eggs out with and thought they needed a basket so I just cut this basket out of cardstock. I wanted my basket to have a weave so I took my distressed stripes cuttlebug embossing folder and ran my basket through horizontally first, I then inked up the embossing then ran it through again verically & inked up the embossing again, the first run through got flattened when I ran it through again so that's why I inked it. I also embossed my eggs with a variety of cuttlebug folders. I thought my basket needed some grass so I added some bag filler to the basket then embellished with some flowers. This was a simple quick card. I'd love to see yours if you make one, just link it in my comments.
I also made a little Easter project. I altered an egg carton that holds 6 plastic eggs. This carton is a little sample of what my tutorial will be on at The Pink Elephant. So if you're interested in learning how to make your own egg carton for a cute Easter project be sure to check out the tutorial on saturday at 4:00 pm (EST).
Now for some blog candy. I am offering this very egg carton with 6 eggs filled with scrapping embellishments! To be entered to win my blog candy just leave a comment in this post by midnight (EST) Sunday and I will announce the winner on Friday, March 27th on my blog. In your comment tell me your favorite color and three of your favorite little embellishments so I know what to put in the eggs :)
After you are done on my blog, be sure to hop over to Lori's blog to see what she is sharing!!
