Hi!
It’s me, Therese from Sweden here today and I want to share this Easter card. Now you perhaps think I’m gone mad or something “using a witch for Easter” :S.

But well “of course” I say then. 😀

Here in Sweden kids dress up like Easter Witches and go from house to house and give Easter cards in exchange they gets sweets or money. Almost like American Trick or Treat, but without the trick and the kids are dressed like Easter Witches or Men.

I used
Witchy Mae


The Easter Witch is colored in copics:
Skin: E0000-000-00-21-11-04 R20-32-22
Hair: E40-41-43-44-49
Blue: B000-00-12
Pink: RV11-32-34
Yellow: Y17-15-11-00
Svart: C3-5-7-9
Cat: Y17 C5-7-9

And the background is almost on fire. Because here in Sweden some makes Easter bonfire.
I used distress ink
Mustard Seed
Spiced Marmalade
Fired Brick

If you’re interested to read more about our Easter traditions you can read here but remember not all Swedes have this traditions 🙂

Take care
Therese

Hi there Oddlets!

It’s Linda here, and I’m really happy to be here today with my first Design Team Inspiration post!

One of the things I love most about being a crafter (besides the amazing community of talented people–check out our Facebook Group if you like the sound of that!), is that we can create personalized, one-of-a-kind items for people.

This year is the first year I’ve had two of my daughters in school, and I thought it would be fun to create some little Easter gifts for their teachers.

These were so fun and simple to make–so simple in fact, I’m considering making something similar for the girls’ schoolfriends too!

all three  

To create these, I die cut some panels of X-press It blending card, using a nestabilities die.
Next I stamped the images and sentiments from the Hip Hop Hooray clear stamps set.
I copic-colored them, going for different colored bunnies (always fun to change things up I think!)

Then I took each panel, scored it about 1/3 of the way down from the top (a little higher maybe), and then creased the fold in. I then lightly adhered them on to the gift bags, before securing them down with some added twine from the Some Odd Girl shop. I used Orange Bakers Twine,  Green and Pink Bamboo Twine

Here is a closer look at them

So cute, right?!
I hope I’ve inspired you to create some fun, personalized Easter gifts or gift bags!

Good morning, Oddies! Alexis joining you here today with a fun inspiration post. For this project, I decided to mush together two of my favorite things. Baking cupcakes and Some Odd Girl images and made adorable cupcake toppers! I had an Easter theme in mind for these, since it’s just around the corner, but you could do any theme or holiday with these just by switching out the image. I used Shy Bunny and Eggster Bunny for these and chose some bright spring-colored paper for the backer.

March Inspiration 1

The best thing about this project is that it really couldn’t be simpler to make. I used my Zing cutter to make the exact shapes and sizes I wanted, but you can just as easily use your favorite die or punch for the backer pieces. I cut two of the base shape, because I attach that to the other side of the stick so that you can’t see it on the back. Just attach your colored image to the top with pop dots and voila! Instant Cute-On-A-Stick!

March Inspiration 2

I hope you try this for your next holiday party or birthday! It’s super fun, simple and all your guests will be impressed, I assure you! Then don’t forget to post pictures of your awesome creations on our Facebook Group!
