Easter Card 4: Bunny in a Basket

Recipe:
A2 card
Pink mat @ 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Printed mat @ 4" x 5.25"
Purple mat @ 5" from Elegant Edges (button 5)
Bunny in a Basket & all parts @ 4" from Baby Steps (button 41)

A very special thank you to Glora at Glora's Crafts for helping me figure out this cut.

I contacted Glora and asked her about, what appeared to me to be, 2 missing egg cuts. She agreed and said that she had recut her base cut for one of the eggs and hand traced the other one. Me? .... well I am a little lazy and I usually mass produce my cards to send to family. So, I went to my handy-dandy Gypsy and sized the "green" egg cut to fit (for the yellow and plaid egg).

Thanks for looking,

Sympathy Cards

Sympathy cards are never "fun" to make and I struggle with them and what is "appropriate". The first two cards are A7 (5x7). The last one is an A2.

Cardz TV

If you haven't checked out Mary at Cardz TV I highly suggest that you do. She has some wonderful ideas on her site.

I recieved some of the Cricut Lite Cartridges for Christmas (thanks to Menards for having them on sale) and I haven't used them yet, so I was checking around to different blogs to get some ideas on what to make with them. As I was looking around I came across these cards that Mary did and just loved them.
