It's almost Easter and that means we are going to share some fabulous Easter and Spring projects with you! We have had so much fun creating some wonderful things, especially since the world is in such upheaval.

Hello, and Happy Monday! Heather here, and I created this fabulous
Watering Can Box with 3D Daffodils. Daffodils are so prevalent in the Pacific Northwest, there are even parades for them.
For this project, I used a
fabulous cut file from the Silhouette Store by a designer named
Tanya Batrak.
I really wanted to stay true to the coloring of the watering can (and it even tricked my husband when I was putting it together!), so grabbed cardstock from the
Spectrum Series, using both sides of
Silver Dollar to get both the stripes and dots in my project.
The tag was a little tag cut from some of the
Cottontail Eight and a few of the
Elements die cuts. Using foam adhesive in between the layers created some fun interest.
The daffodils are a combination of simple, white cardstock,
Lemon Drop Spectrum, and the
March cardstock from the
Calendar Collection Solids cardstock pad.
I am really happy about how this project turned out. I think that the
Cottontail tag lends itself both to Easter, but is Spring enough to last the season. This will be a really fun decor item to leave out during the next few weeks to brighten our spirits.
To round out today's post, I have two Easter cards that I created a bit ago. I really loved how colorful the
Cottontail collection was, and how easy it was to pull together a few cards featuring the Easter images.
The first card is a combination of papers from the 6x6 Bundle and the cut-aparts from
Cottontail Eight. A little die cut border, and trimming down the cut-apart make this card sparkle. Remember, if you want just a little pop of additional color, use your
Spectrum series as your card base.
The last card also uses some border dies for interest,
layers a wood veneer rabbit that I stole from a banner found in the
Dollar Spot, and a few of the die cuts from the
Elements die cuts page. Thanks for "hopping" along with us today, and we cannot wait to share with you some more projects this week!
