Easter Bunny and Chick Popsicle Stick Kids Crafts

The kids and I love to make fun crafts for Easter, and you ca't get any more Easter than bunnies and chicks!  So we pulled out some Popsicle sticks, ink, google eyes and got to work making some cute Easter decorations!

This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.  Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.

Check out the video to see how to make these fun critter craft stick characters!

The bunnies are so cute!!  My daughter make the pink one and I made the grey one.  We started off with natural wood craft sticks and colored with with Clearsnap Inks.  All the elements are stuck together with Xyron adhesive via the Xyron Creative Station Lite.   It makes the craft so easy!  My daughter loves to run the Creative Station, and she is 6,  it is that easy to use!

I used a die to cut out the bunny ears and face elements, except for the google eyes, because google eyes are just so cute!

Making the paper the sticky part with the Xyron Creative Station Lite makes this craft so easy.  All you have to do is stick all the elements to the sticky paper and you are done!!  

These chick were a blast since all the sticks were already colors.  I picked the yellow chick, but my daughter made a purple and pink one!  I love that she picks colors that are so fun and not the norm!

What fun craft will you make with your kids this Easter?

Something Wicked This Way Comes - Halloween ATC Cards for a Swap

I love being apart of crafty swaps, it is an amazing way to to get to know other crafters and also to see how someone create the project in person on just in a picture on your computer screen.  For this swap I am creating a set of 11 ATC cards and also a set of charms to swap with 9 other crafters all with the theme of Halloween, I am going to keep 2 for myself.  Here are the spooky ATC cards I made for the swap.

Here is a video on how I made these fun ATCs.

I loved playing with the stamp set Curls & Swirls from Paper Smooches.  I used it as a black ground for all the cards turning the kraft paper into a design paper with a little black ink.

It is fun to think of your supplies in a different way, for instance taking an Easter die set and using it for a Halloween card.  That is exactly what I did with the Bunny Card die set from Paper Smooches, the set had some fun shapes that I could use in on these cards, but look nothing like a bunny!

The Xyron sticker maker is perfect for sticking small little bits and pieces of paper like the ones die cut from the bunny die.  Xyron makes applying small little bits of paper a breeze to any project!!

I also used the Xyron sticker maker to stick down the punched out black border in the orange foiled paper.  Xyron made creating this spooky border so easy!

Thanks for stopping on by and checking out my fun Halloween ATCs, Happy Halloween!!

Cute "Punny" Cards **Xyron & Paper Smooches**

I always need cards for last minute things; birthdays, thank you, get well, etc and I don't always have time right before the event to make one.  I love to make some random cards ready in my desk for such occasions.  

Here is a video of how I created one of these cards.

I wanted the Paper Smooches "Squeaky Clean" Stamps to stand out so I really kept a simple background of solid cardstock papers.  The irony of the cards is the flicked spray mists, the illusion that the clean is really not clean.   Adding on all the small parts of ribbons and papers are also super easy with Xyron adhesives.

I just clove the puns on these cards, the vacuum with the sentiment of "that sucks" is sure to make a get well card seem a bit brighter!

I giggle at "I was swept off my feet" with a broom, duster, and dust bunny.  Even my husband laughed at that one.

I have already given this one away as a birthday card to my FIL, he just turned 71, pretty impressed!!

I love the light-hearted feel of these cards, it just makes you smile.
