Created by OMC Designer Jill
Supplies Used:
Wood Designs : Spring Wood Letters
Tim Holtz : Distress Stain - Brushed Corduroy
Tim Holtz : Distress Ink Pad - Vintage Photo
Inkssentials : Ink Blending Tool
BoBunny : Ambrosia Collection Pack
Stampendous : Fran:tage Glass Glitter : Lavender, Bronze
Martha Stewart : Decoupage Glue and Sealer
Tattered Angels : Glimmer Mist - Sunshine
Mod Podge
Ribbon
Small Paint Brush
Instructions:
1. Trace each letter with a different piece of paper from the Ambrosia pack.
2. Cut out each shape.
3. Stain the sides and backs of each wood letter with the distress stain.
4. Glue each piece of paper to its coordinating letter using Mod Podge. Press firmly to press out all bubbles. I like to use a brayer to really get the paper secure. Allow to dry.
5. While your paper is drying you can distress the edges using some sort of sanding tool. I really like to use the Basic Grey Sanding Tool Kit. Use the small tools to get into the intricate parts of these letters!
6. Distress the sides of the papers using the distress ink and an Inkssentials blending tool.
7. Coat the paper and sides of the wood with Mod Podge to seal the ink and paper.
8. I chose to highlight parts of the "S" and the flower pot by adding a bit of sparkle by using the Stampendous Glass Glitter. I added small amounts of decoupage glue and sealer to the wood, then sprinkled small amounts of the crushed glass glitter over the top. Make sure to tap off the excess.
9. I dyed the ribbon for the bow with the glimmer mist by spraying directly on the ribbon and then crunching it up as I dried it with an embossing heater. I had to dye it approximately 6 times to get the right shade of yellow that I needed to match the paper.
Happy crafting!

Easter Wood Block

Supplies Used:
Jolee's Boutique : Dimensional Stickers - Rocking Eggs Repeats
Inkssentials : Ink Blending Tool
My Mind's Eye : Miss Caroline Dolled Up "Cute" Garden Paper
Sizzix : eclips Cartridge - Easter
Vinyl - To cut out an "Easter" stencil
Tim Holtz : Distress Stain - Frayed Burlap
Tim Holtz : Distress Ink Pad - Walnut
Bazzill Basics : 12x12 Cardstock - Green
Sanding Tool
Mod Podge
Instructions:
1. Stain the wood block using the Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap Distress Stain.
2. Using the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up “Cute” Garden Paper, trace the shape of the wood and cut out.
3. Glue the cut out piece of paper to the block of wood using Mod Podge. Press firmly to make sure it is adhered well. I like to use a brayer tool to really press down hard on it.
4. As the Mod Podge is drying, use a large file or some kind of sanding tool and sand the sides of the wood heavily. You want to sand off quite a bit of the paper and expose a raw edge to the paper.
5. Cut out the word "Easter" out of vinyl using the Sizzix eclips Easter cartridge.
6. Peel the vinyl off to make a stencil for your word Easter. You will have to add the circle for the "a" and the "e" back into the stencil to complete it.
7. Place the stencil onto the wood and press down firmly.
8. Using the Inkssentials blending tool and the Walnut Distress Ink, lightly ink inside the stencil. Once you have inked it as much as you want, let the ink dry fully then peel off the stencil. You should now have the word Easter printed on your paper.
9. Mod Podge the entire block. Allow to dry.
10. Using the Easter Cartridge and the green cardstock, cut out two pieces of grass 1.16" x 4.33". You will need two pieces of grass to cover the bottom of the block.
11. Once the grass is cut, glue it down to the bottom of the block, piecing together the two pieces of grass.
12. Add the Jolee's Boutique Rocking Eggs Repeats behind the grass.

Bunny Peeps Wood Shapes
Created by OMC Designer Jill
Supplies Used:
Craft Paint : Pink, Purple, and Yellow
Glitter : Pink, Purple, and Yellow
Gingham Ribbon : Blue, Pink, Purple
Wood Designs : Bunny Peep
Glossy Sealing Spray
Mod Podge
Black Jewels
Instructions:
1. Paint each of the shapes with the different craft paints - pink, purple, and yellow.
2. One at a time: After you apply your second coat of paint on the front of a peep, apply the coordinating glitter color heavily, making sure to coat it evenly. Allow the paint to dry completely for optimal glitter adhesion! Once fully dry, tap each of the shapes gently on your work surface. Continue with this process until all the sides are completely glittered.
HINT: Tap the excess glitter off the shapes onto a clean piece of copy paper or onto a Glitter Tray. Once the excess glitter falls off you can pour the excess glitter back into it’s original container!
3. Once they are all glittered, spray with a glossy sealing spray. Allow to fully dry.
4. Embellish each bunny with a small cute bow. The ribbon shown is Doodlebug gingham ribbon.
5. Add eyes and a nose to each bunny using black jewels.
Happy crafting!
