He is Risen Easter Card

I can't believe it, Easter is just a little over a week away. I didn't even have time to decorate because the holiday is so early this year and my Mom spent some time in the hospital earlier this month...plus, my oldest daughter turned 13 on the 7th. Then on St. Patrick's Day I had to take my youngest daughter to the ER to get 4 stitches under her eyebrow because she tripped in the grocery store parking lot and face planted onto the back of a shopping cart. So needless to say I didn't get to do the fun stuff I normally do for Easter. I did though just finish an Easter card that I have been wanting do for a very long time. I hope you enjoy it.

I used these items to create my He is Risen Easter Card:

• Inspired Heart Cricut Lite cartridge - title and die cut
• Stickles
• purple ribbon
• foam squares - behind image

Sympathy card with Dove

My amazing father-in-law passed away yesterday and I made these sympathy cards to give to my husband's family. I only used Inspired Heart Cricut cartridge, Design Studio, the Cuttlebug and the computer to make these cards.

I designed the card base is Design Studio by using the welding feature.  All of the outer pieces were cut at 3 1/2.  I ran the cards through the Cuttlebug using D'vine Swirls embossing folder.  I applied iridescent glitter to only the dove.

Here is the inside:

I found this amazing poem at Frans Candles.  I printed it on cardstock that has a cloud-like look to it.  I then just cut the base over again but at 3 1/4 and cut off the the part for the doves wing.  I inked the edges and adhered to the inside.  Tho top part of the inside of the card is just a stamp I found at Michael's in the Dollar bin. 
Thank you for looking.
