Craftwell eCraft Bunny Blog Hop!

Welcome to the eCraft Bunny Blog Hop! 

I am so excited to show what I made with my fabulous pink eCraft for spring! 

One of my favorite things to do is buy an ugly picture and then turn it into something cute! 

I purchased the frame below for less than a dollar after the 4th of July at Joann's....

With a little help from my eCraft (ok a lot of help!) I turned it into this....

Here is a side by side so that you don't have to keep scrolling up and down :)

I wanted this cute bird to have a friend so that I could put them in a grouping on a wall. 

So I went into my stash of frames and found this....

I picked some super cute bird art from my eCraft library and turned it into this...

Again, here is a side by side....

I love the birds for spring and the bright colors! The eCraft cut my scallop circle and birds so cleanly I couldn't believe it! 

Here are a few up close photos so that you can see how clean the cuts are! 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today and checking out my Spring project made with my eCraft!

Meet my eCraft!

I got something very exciting in the mail a few weeks ago from HSN! Her name is Ellie the pink eCraft :) 

I don't know if anyone else does this but when I get something REALLY exciting in the mail, I take pictures of the whole opening process....

I was so excited to start playing with my new machine! Here are some cards I made the first time I used it. 

It was so much fun! I love all the images available to use and that you can buy individual images that are very inexpensive instead of a whole cartridge. 

The next thing I made with Ellie the eCraft was a home decor project that is also what I submitted as my entry to their design team. I hope I make it! Here is what I made...

I think it's a pretty good improvement :) 

I love those birds on the branch! 

Here are the two pictures together on a shelf...

I think their permanent home is going to be in my guest bathroom. It has ZERO decorations in it. These would be so happy on the wall. 

Here are some close up photos...

Such fun happy, spring like colors! 

I have MANY more projects planned with my eCraft and I can't wait to show them to you!

 End on our blog to find out what the big cheese..er PRIZE is! 

I'm so excited to be part of this blog hop! I had such a great time making Valentine's/Love themed cards using the eCraft!

I had these super cute cuts from the eCraft to work with....

I went through my paper and this is the stack I came out with that had a love/Valentine's theme.....

I have way to much paper :) 

I finally decided on 4 different papers made by Pebbles. It's from their Fresh Goods line. I'm OBSESSED with it.

Here are the cards I made with this awesome vintage looking paper! 

The most impressive cut from the eCraft was this "Always and Forever" it's so delicate and dainty but it was cut out PERFECTLY. Not one single snag in the paper. P.S. The yellow hexagon print is on the back of one of the Pebbles papers shown above. 

Normally I wouldn't think of blue with Valentine's Day but I love this! I used a Martha Stewart punch on the blue card stock. 

I really love the pennant banners on this paper and the cute little birdy! I was most impressed with how clean the eCraft cut the middle circle out. With other machines I've used, the detailing on the edges doesn't cut out this nicely.  

Isn't this little birdie so dang cute? The stamp is from My Pink Stamper. 

It's impossible to tell from the photo but the paper is actually embossed a little bit, it looks really great in person with the 3 cuts from the eCraft on top.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my card pack that I made using the eCraft as much as I enjoyed making it! It was so much fun and so easy.

But now I must send you on your way to your next stop....
