Michelle

I used the Pop culture borders on the easter egg sections, and the Chicky was embossed with the Textiles embossing folder and paper pieced together. I added lots of silk flowers with metal brad centers and the corners were cut from the Fancy Corner die cuts and stickled. I also used the Pop culture borders embossing folders on various areas of my picture frame borders.

I chose to make a stair card..I have fallen in love with making these cards and using the Pop Culture border embossing folders are great for these types of cards!! I used my cuttlebug to emboss the front paper..and used my cricut for the rest of the cuts.

Recipe: pop culture borders cuttlebug embossing folder, Bo Bunny pattern paper,

Bazzill cardstock,CTMH blank small goodie box, prima flowers and my around the block paper tagger.

Just a little side note... i love flowers, but like them to "move" on my projects.

By paper tagging them they can "wiggle" just a little. It is my favorite way to attach flowers to any project!
