Easter is on its way!

It has been quite a while since the last post! This post is for my friend who wants me to pin a sign I made, but I can't pin it without posting. (:

I saw a sign here and wanted to make it my own. So here is my version of this cute idea!

I used beadboard and changed the shape a little. I cut the vinyl with my Cricut using the Opposites Attract cartridge. Using the "upright" option for the cursive. Both the block and cursive are on same cartridge.

For the banner I used paper because I had more prints and options available. I just cut them out with scissors. No special trick here, just make one and use it as a template for the others. You could also do triangle banners. For the holes I used my punch that I have for doing eyelets, but you could use a small whole punch. Then I threaded embroidery floss through the wholes and attached it on the back with tacky glue. Holding it with tape until it dried.

I love it! Hope you do too!

Happy Easter!

Easter Egg & Mod Podge

I haven't been on the ball with my Easter Crafting this year so I thought I would revisit a craft I made last year.

Something unique about this project is the stitching around the edges. After I cut my paper and used a little tape to get the paper to stay in place I used my sewing maching and free handed the wavey lines. Then I used Mod Podge to glue it to the wooden egg I found at JoAnns. Added the ribbon and flowers and done!

I love Mod Podge!

And I am not the only one...Have you ever been to Mod Podge Rocks?

My little sister actually introduced me to Mod Podge years ago. The first project I did was to cover clipboards. I was hooked. I wanted to Mod Podge everything! And since have done so whenever I can!
