Scrapbook Title Sets 2.1-2.4: Easter

Hoppy Easter everyone!  Easter is such a fun time, with all the kids scrambling to gather the eggs and treats.  Here is a paper piecing project to celebrate Easter: eggs and bunnies!  

 

 

The letters were cut with Cricut's Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.  My favorite part of the basket is the butterfly that looks like it just might flutter away...

 

The pastel paper is so fluffy; it gives the bunny a nice 3D look. 

Peekaboo, this shy bunny is hiding behind Easter eggs!

The whiskers were a little hard to work with, but it really adds character to the bunny, doesn't it?

I really had a lot of fun working with the pastel colors.

 

 

 

 

 

Scrapbook Layout 2: Easter

Here is an Easter layout that I created with DCWV's Garden stack and Nana's Kids stack.   All tear bear animals were hand-torn, fluffed, and then shaded with chalk.  All photo mats and journaling tags were fully machine stitched; the photo mats were inked with Color Box pigment ink (pastel).

The hinges used were just the right size for this house.

To give some variety and contrast, different colors were chosen for the flowers and their centers.

Embossed rainbow

Saw this idea for embossing a rainbow and just loved it.

Tree

This bird has built herself a comfortable nest.

I was happy to find socks for this bunny.

Shy baby sheep

Surprise!  A catepillar is hiding in the tree.

This swing looks relaxing.

Snail

Wheelbarrow - looks like someone was collecting flowers.

Since the red plate is metal, and can be a little heavier than other embellishments used, it must be reinforced as much as possible.

 

These flowers have glitter on them, but it is a little hard to see in the picture.

 

A flower charm to match the flowers on the photo mat.

 

I love how this mat turned out; the sheer green ribbon matched the green in the paper very well.

 

Notice that the mats have been stitched as well?

 

There is also glitter on this photo mat, on the butterfly and flowers.  All mats were also reinforced in the corners with brads and eyelets.

I really liked the sturdiness and pastel combination of these tags.

 

 

 

 

Scrapbook Tear Bears 1.1-1.4: Easter

In honor of Easter, I created 4 cute Easter tear bears. Each bear comes in an Easter dress, a matching bunny ear headpiece, and a pair of cute socks and shoes. The pink is my favorite; which one is yours?

The tear bears were all handmade out of mulberry paper; it is really amazing that paper can create such fuzziness!  Each bear was hand-torn, fluffed, and then shaded with chalk. 

 

 

The fabric used to make her dress looks like denim; it would be cute to make some jeans for the tear bears one day.   

 

I liked the way the colors came together for this dress, with the contrast of the different shades of pink.  However, the fabric was difficult to work with; it kept wanting to pop up and did not want to stay put.  I'm not sure if I will choose to work with this fabric again.

 

The style of this dress is different from the other three dresses; I wanted to offer some variety, besides just a difference in color and print.

 



I am very happy to have found this fabric.  It is perfect for making tear bear socks, and it's nice that the stripes on them are glittery.
