Happy Easter and April Projects...

Blessings to everyone on this Resurrection Sunday!  May Jesus' triumph over the grave become a reality in your life... and give you HOPE. He is Risen, indeed!  It's been a busy Easter weekend, but I promised myself that I would catch up with a post to share the projects we completed during our April workshop.

Bliss again did a fantastic job finding creative cards for us to mimic. Our first card is a preview for May's "Rugged Boys" workshop.  She originally created her card as a Boys' Day card, but I turned mine into a Father's Day card.  She played off of the CM "Boyfriends" samples to create our personalized guy using the tag maker punch.

No hair on this guy because it's supposed to be my dad. Lol!
This next project is a perfect fit for the Fabulous paper flowers that we used in this kit. 
A potted plant card... but where do you write?
Pull up the flowers to reveal a journaling card, where you can
compose a thoughtful message. So cute!
This next project took the most time to put together, but the finished product is worth the effort. The accordion card measures 5x5 inches and contains 3 pages (or six sides) to add pictures, embellishments, or messages.  It would be a nice gift for a bridal party or a perfect group card for any event!

A view of the accordion card from the front... all tied up.

A view from above when the card is opened up and stretched. 
I kept my card plain since I don't know who I would give it to.

The added cardstock gives the card a unique crisscross effect when opened.
Thanks for reading... hope to see you at our May workshop.  Gonna go look for inspiration now!
