Hanging Easter Eggs

Next week Easter begins and usually I decorate a bit for the Holiday but this year I can't find my stuff after the move. So I figured I would make a thing or two this year.

My DT assignment this time was these two Easter Eggs made by Annie Collins (these are available for purchase via Anne Ingram in The Multi Crafters Craft Cafe Albums) :


I printed two sets out and colored them in with my Promarkers and then used the Print 'n Cut setting on my Silhouette Cameo, to cut them out. 

Then I made an offset of the eggs and cut out two of each in AC Cardstock.

I found two cute Egg Doilies in the Silhouette Design Store design ID # 40140 designed by Megan Hardy and cut both out of Pearl Paper in pastel colors matching those of the offset cutouts.

Finally I glued the digi stamps onto the offset cutouts and glued one on each side of the Egg Doilies and voila....two new hanging Easter Eggs.

One in pastel purple/pink:

And the other in Pastel blue/Ocean Blue:

 These are pretty big but it's very easy to downsize them so they could hang from a branch in your Easter Decoration.

Thanks for joining me today - please let me know in a comment if you liked this project.
I hope you'll have a Happy Easter and remember to stay safe.

Bunny on Cloud Nine

Hello everyone - My name is Helle Bilde Müller of My Creative Hideout and I'm a new member on the Coffee Beans Design Team. I am very excited to be here and hope to bring something new and fresh to the team if possible.

Today I want to start out with not one…..not two…..but three projects I made with the darling digi stamp Easter Bunny Hot Air Balloon from Bugaboo Stamps.
For all three projects I used the trace and the offset options in my Silhouette Studio software and print and cut the images. Then I colored them in by hand.

First of is a cute 3D picture:
This cute picture is one I found in the Silhouette Design Store design ID #141563
I simply switched out the ballon with the digi stamp that I've colored in with Promarkers.

The frame is given extra dimension by using foam tape and the bunny plus the little piece of cloud is secured with 3D dots.

Next is an Easel Card:
This card is also one I found in the Silhouette Design Store Design ID #57245

The background is a print and cut that fits so well with the stamp.

I colored in the stamp with Sharpies and pop-dotted a small cloud on the right. 

A very easy and fun little card for someone special.

Finally I made a Gift Card Gift Bag:
This is also a Silhouette Design Store fil - Design ID #162508

This little bag is also dimensional as the bunny kinda floats inside in a little scene. Candy can be put in there too for more fun. Behind the bunny is a little insert/pocket for a gift card. The little cloud on the outside of the bag, is adhered with a pop-dot.

This time I also used Promarkers to color in the bunny and I do find these easier to work with.

So these are my three projects using the same digi stamp. 

This is deff some what out of my usual way of papercrafting but I do love a challenge. What do you think? Which one is your favorite?

Thank you so much for joining me today - hope to see you again next time
