Easter Decorations

©2012 crystalscardsandcrafts.blogspot.com
Today I had the chance to make some homemade easter decorations.  It allowed me to use some of the tools that I don't use very often.  To make garland I used my Fiskars shape cutter in Ovals.  This was one of the first tools that I purchased when I started scrapbooking.

To give the ovals more texture I used 5 different embossing tools, one for each color I used.  3 of the folders were for my cuttlebug, and 2 of the plates were from Fiskars.  I have found that by using a silicone baking sheet that I purchased from the dollar store as an embossing mat that I can run the Fiskars embossing plates through the Cuttlebug machine.

I used a needle and some fishing line to string the ovals together to make the garland.  Beside this is the picture of the finished product.  Please excuse my camera as the picture is a little blurry.
