crafty overload day 5

The project I have today is a copycat. When Amanda and I were out shopping the last time she saw a sign that she liked. I told her "I can make that." I took a picture in the store for reference.

This is what I designed in Cricut design space.

I then took a bamboo cutting board that I bought at Dollar Tree and painted it white. After coating it with a layer of mod podge I added my vinyl cut out. Sorry about the glare in the picture.

Oh and I also forgot that I added a little bit of antique wax around the edges. There's a story that goes along with that as well. I was doing all the painting on my washing machine. Why? Because it was the biggest cleanest space I had in the basement. I was going well until I knocked over the bottle of antique wax and it poured down into my washer. Let me just say what a mess. All is well though the project came out great and the washer is all cleaned up again

Today's project is another greeting card. This was a free cut file that I found on bearly.art. When I first saw the preview picture of the file I wasn't sure I would like it but I decided to try it anyway. I'm pretty glad I did because I think it's awfully darn cute. This was originally a 4.25"x5.5" card but I decided to add it to a 5"x7" card.

On a recent Dollar Tree trip I purchased these cute little Easter eggs with bunny ears

Then I got out the hot glue gun and some jute twine and started wrapping.

So far I've only done the one. I was thinking of doing one with some white yarn and maybe some pastel colored  yarns.

Wow, here it is the first of March already. This is my birthday month so maybe I'll celebrate all month long.

I bought these bunnies last year with the intentions of dressing them up. This is a picture from the website because I was too lazy to go take a picture myself. I only have the white ones.

 I have seen several posts on Facebook where people made them look absolutely adorable. Me being me, I never got around to it until this past Saturday. I still have a few of these left to do but here's the first one

 I think he still needs a little something. I may put a carrot in his hand. 

 

Ah yes, that's better. Now he's done.
