Chocolate Easter Bunny

I should have posted these cards before Easter ~ didn't get around to it, so here they are!  SUPER simple cards.  4 1/4x5 1/2 top fold white cardstock.  PTI Edger die #1 was used to cut the scallop on the bottom of the card and the bottom of the 3 3/4x4" panel.  All of this paper is OLD!  I have NO idea where it came from.  I mean OLD!  I used my Cricut solutions Easter cartridge and cut the bunny that has the bite out of its ear!  Soooooo cute!  It is cut at 4" with Dark Chocolate cardstock.  I glued a googly eye on its eye and tied matching embroidery floss around the neck.  JoAnns organza ribbon is tied around the top of the card.  That is it!  But these cards are REALLY cute!  That bunny is adorable!  It is adhered to the card with pop dots.

Journey ~ Greeting Cards

This group of 5x7 Greeting cards are all paper from the Me and My Big Ideas ~ 12x12 Journey pack.  It is the same paper pack I used earlier with the note cards.  Still travel theme, hence Journey but different images.  But... I love these prints as much as the others.  The base is 5x7 white cardstock.  The panels are all cut to 4 3/4x6 3/4 or pieced to that sized.  I used PTI XL Rickrack border die for interest or to cover a seam.  PTI Spiral Notebook die was stamped with Tim Holtz Curiosities stamp inked in Dark Chocolate on some cards a shipping tag on others.  Strips of Its Official PTI paper, vintage postage stamps from my Mother, Donna Whitley (contact me if you want to buy some) bits of rickrack, a Love Lives Here butterfly and some other stamps from the Tim Holtz set decorate the tags.  PTI Turning a New Leaf  dies (which I LOVE and now use all of the time!) are used on the 1st & 3rd card.  I cut and stamped those leaves with Spring Moss ~ LOVE that color!  All of the cards are tied with Chocolate bakers twine.  There are mini clothespins on most of them, too.

French Script tag card

This is a super simple card.  The base is .... wait for it..... 4 1/4x5 1/2 white cardstock ~ shock!  The 4x5 1/4 gray mat was embossed with Tim Holtz Texture Fades Dot Matrix.  Patterned paper was cut with PTI Tag Sale #3.  A white shipping tag was stamped with Tim Holtz French Connection script stamp in Smokey Shadow ink.  The large purple butterfly was cut with PTI Signature series butterfly die, the small pink one was one that was in my "cuts" drawer.  Not sure where it came from.  I have made more of this card and used the Love Lives Here butterfly die.  Both butterflies were stamped with the same word stamp.  A purple bling was placed in the center of the 2 butterflies that were stacked and pop dotted on the tag.  A second bling covers the hole of the white tag.  Organza ribbon was knotted through the tag hole.  A mini clothespin with 3 crystals glued on it finishes the tag, which is mounted on pop dots.  A small piece of white cardstock was stamped with Smokey shadow ink. The edges were inked, also.

Raspberry Fizz

This 5x7 white cardstock Greeting Card is bright and cheery.  The 2 1/2x6 3/4" strip of patterned paper is PTI Raspberry Fizz Mix.  It is VERY pretty paper.  The solid paper is Bazzil (before I started buying PTI).  A strip of raspberry paper was cut with PTI Eyelet lace die and adhered on the left seam.  PTI Large Scallop die was used to cut the piece on the right seam.  The flower is from Cricut Cake Basics cut at 3" and a pink crystal adorns the center.  It is mounted on pop dots   The sentiment is stamped in Raspberry Fizz ink on white cardstock cut with Fillable Frames #8.

Office Elements

Here are 2 simple, masculine cards  The main elements are from PTI It's Official.  The papers are so cute!  I mostly trim them up and use them as accents.  The panels are 4x 5 1/4 and embossed with Tim Holtz Texture Fades Dot Matrix.  Message tickets were cut and mounted on pop dots.  A sentiment was stamped on each with Dark Chocolate ink.  The PTI Spiral Notebook die was used to cut cream cardstock.  It was stamped in Dark chocolate with Tim Holtz Curiosities stamp.  A strip of tickets from Its Official paper was placed on top of the pop dotted ticket and a stamp from PTI Postmarks finished the card.

Simple and not frilly.  I think it is a neutral card for male or female.
