Easter Cards

I have been dragging my feet to get my Easter cards done. 

I just could not come up with an idea that I wanted to do.

After my workout at the gym, I was in the shower with a head full of shampoo and that is when the idea flashed into my head. 

These ideas come to ya at the oddest times, don't they?  LOL!

Now that I had an idea, I went into production mode and I'm happy to say my cards will go in the mail today. 

I used a cute Easter basket from the Easter Beasties svg set over at Lettering Delights. The whole set of svg's is on sale for only $2. Quite a bargain.

The felt bunnies. chicks, lambs, etc are from some packs of dimensional stickers I found in the Easter Card section at Target. I think they were $2.99 a pack. One with the subtle colors and another pack with the bright colors 

They worked great to add a little fuzzy to each card.

A couple of my baskets didn't cut correctly on the top so I covered them with a flower sticker or brad. Just  didn't want to re-cut for that little mistake

 

I am also going to link up to the following Easter Challenges...

Here's How I did it...

Card is standard A2 using all scraps from my stash including the little bit of ribbon on the basket

The Easter background paper is cut 4" square- sorry cannot remember the brand name

The green paper is cut at 4" x 2.5" and then punched with a Martha Stewart border punch

Cut the basket and all its layers at 4.25"

Felt embellishments from Target

Stickles and gel pen doodles on the eggs
