March is the perfect time to "spring" into crafting, and these spring themed projects will help make it easy and fun!  Best of all, there are also some great edible crafts, great for serving at Easter, Mother's Day, or just a simple springtime gathering.  For example, this Blooming Bouquet Giant Cupcake Cake from Michaels is a fun and easy edible craft that you can make for any reason.  Adorned with colorful fontant flowers, this giant cupcake cake is another fun way to express your creativity.

Even if you don't have much experience in cake decorating, you can find all the materials you need listed out for you inside The Ultimate Craft Guide.  Best of all, chances are you can find everything you need to decorate this cake at your local Michaels craft store.

That's the great thing about the paper projects in The Ultimate Craft Guide.  You can follow the directions exactly or you can use the project as a basic outline as you create your own fun design.  For example, the You Mean the World to Me card from Sizzix, which you can find inside this free downloadable eBook, can be made as is, or you can change it up for any occasion.  The sentiment can change, as can the embellishments and the color of the card stock.  Sizzix even provides you with a variety of sentiments and embellishments in this free eBook, so they make it easy and fun to create and customize your own card design.
