Easter Fun with Marie

Hi! 

 It's time to make some Easter crafts.

I made these with my granddaughter as little

Ester gifts for those who we had Easter dinner with in 2022

They are so simple to make, just use some 

craft paint to make the foot prints.

An eraser works well for the "cheeks" and nose

and a finger print makes a great tail.

She was only 2.5 at the time, so I had to help with 

the little details, but they were very simple and 

a lot of fun.

Here they are all lined up ready to have their eyes put on.

Googly eyes on and ready to go.

Here is the other one that she made.

Carrots are always fun too.

Everyone that got them was happy to

have a Marie original.

Thanks for spending some time with here,

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

try crafting with a little one.

 

Happy Easter

Hello and Happy Easter!

Today I'm showing you the Easter card I 

made for my sweet 98 yr old Aunt who lives

in a nursing home.

I knew she would love this little bunny,

so I stamped colored and fussy cut him and

adhered him to the front a a card with a 
Action Wobbler.
The background was inked with Distress Ink and

a home made cloud stencil.

I made this a 3D card and added the stamped,

colored and fussy cut flowers to the front.

The grass was just free hand cut from green 

glitter card stock.

If you are interested in learning to make this

type of 3D card you can see how 
Jennifer McGuire does it in

this video

It's really quite easy to make and you 

can even make it with 2 different layers.

It folds flat to easily send in an envelope.

Thank you for coming by today and I hope

you have a blessed Easter.

Come again soon.

Until then,

watch a video and try something new.

 

Kids Easter Cards

Hi all!
I know it's way past Easter, but I wanted to share these
2 cards that I made for a couple of my greats.
If you have been checking in, you know
that I had all my cards made and ready to go,
but they didn't get sent,
but these 2 did.  They arrived the day after Easter,
but the kids loved them anyway.

For Anthony, I made this card.
I cut out 2 rabbits that I had files for on my Silhouette, Cameo
and altered them for the card.
I received a message from my niece that Anthony
said it was the funniest card yet.
I was so pleased that he liked it.

For Andrea, who is my unicorn lover,
I made this "bunnycorn" as she called it.
I used my Silhouette to cut the pieces and
drew the face on with black marker.
The horn was made with gold glitter card stock.
She loved her bunycorn card.

Thanks for stopping in today, I hope you have enjoyed
your visit and will come again soon.
Until next time,
happy crafting.

Easter Blessings

Hello all!

Today I have a few more Easter cards to show you.

I don't know what companies these stamps

are from, I borrowed them from a friend 

and have no clue.

Sorry.

I stamped this bunny onto Kraft card stock and colored

it with colored pencils.  I trimmed it down and

mounted it onto the same paper the sentiment

is stamped on, then onto white card stock.

All stamping was done with 

VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

These 2 cards are made with the same papers, but 

from different sections of the paper.

I'm not sure if I like the one with the ribbon better

or the one with out.

I do think they both turned out very nice though.

I'm glad you stopped by and I hope you've 

been inspired in some way.

Have you started on your Easter cards?
