I am Back! Easter Chick Card

Easter Cards for my grandsons

My oldest grandson is 9 and every year it becomes increasingly challenging to 

come up with a fresh New FUN card.

Easel Card opened up

I made this card to fit a 5 x 7 envelope with my Cameo Silhouette.  The Chick is from Lori Whitlock's "Easter Trio"and the grass is Sophie Gallo's.  I converted the Jamie Koay's "Messy Lines Mesh Lattice" background to a printable pattern for the Chick on the right in the bottom picture.  The Happy Easter sign is a "Merry Christmas" sign from Sara Hurley.  I traced it and added the Happy Easter.

All these files are from the Silhouette Design Store.  I added various patterns to the eggs.

I made my own easel to match the the Chick.

Card opened up and layed flat.

I hope this inspires you!!!

Easter Chick Basket

I've been intrigued by the use of these 1" by 8" cellophane bags.  My Easter Chick Bag/Basket was created from altering files from myscrapchick.com.  If you haven't checked them out and you have a Silhouette Cameo or other die-cut machine, do it now!  They have a weekly freebie and their files are super cute and they have great sales.

I don't intend to give explicit directions on my blog.  My main intent is to inspire!  I will give credit to those who have inspired me for each design or what files I have derived the final creation from.  The wings and the head feathers for this chick come from Easter Chicks and the feet are from Trio of Bunnies both from MyScrapChick.  The bowtie is from the Silhouette online store Chick with Bow by Sarah Bailey.  I purchased my cellophane bags on Ebay.
