Spring and Easter

Amazing Floral Harmony

Hi there!

When I was going through my egg dies, I spotted this Pinkfresh Floral Harmony die which I may have used an Easter card in the past, but I see that I shared this card on my blog a few years ago. Anyway, I now have far too many egg dies so the oval is now happily ensconced in my Pinkfresh collection – hopefully I won’t forget about it again!

I had an idea for it that I really wanted to use for the Pinkfresh monthly challenge where the theme is ‘Sew much fun’, so after I created my Day 3 Egg Card, I carried on crafting.

I decided to embrace texture with my final challenge entry so I paired the oval with an piece of torn card that I had cut with the Charming Stitched Florals coverplate die and some navy twine. The sentiment is from the Butterfly Bliss product suite.

Egg Week 2026 Day 2

Hi there!

It’s Day 2 of LucieG’s Egg Week 2025!

Today I raided my Bazzill coloured card mountain and created a pile of lacy die cuts with the Pinkfresh Studio Heritage Lace and Fancy Edgers die sets. I adhered them all onto a large egg, trimmed them to size and added some pearls and a sentiment.

I used the Intricate Stitched Ovals Coverplate die to create my background and adhered the egg using some folded card – such a clever mechanism that adds amazing depth but flattens right down for posting! Plus it means that the egg supports the whole card base – no folded card required!

I’m entering this into the Pinkfresh monthly challenge where the theme is ‘Sew much fun’.

Egg Week 2026 Day 1

Hi there!

I can’t quite believe that Easter is next weekend – it’s snuck up on me a bit! So I hereby declare today the first day of LucieG’s Egg Week 2026!

For my CAS card today, I used an egg from a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder and my favourite Speckled Egg distress ink. I also pulled out a piece of older vellum with glittery flecks, but that’s quite difficult to photograph!

Happy Easter 2025

Hi there and Happy Easter!

Here’s the card I made for my mum using a beautiful new Waffle Flower layered stencil set called Mod Blossoms.

I love how effective these layered stencils are – this was a small set – only 2 stencils, so it was quick and easy to use and the reveal was so special. Stencilling has completely evolved from the old days of metal stencils, lightboxes and chalk!

The sentiment is by Poppystamps and the bow is from a set by Simon Says Stamp.

Egg Week 2025 Bonus card

Hi there!

I’m still making Easter cards! Today I’m sharing the card I made for my dad using an older die set by Memory Box called Half a Dozen Eggs.

I was inspired by Laura Bassen’s card made with nesting egg dies six years ago. I decided to use shades of blue – but totally underestimated how difficult it would be to come up with a combo of blue card that I was happy with! I think I looked at every piece of blue card/paper in my craft room!

I used foam tape for dimension between layers but this does mean that the card is VERY thick…. just under 1cm I think! Fortunately it stands up ok, but I was a bit worried as I was adhering all the layers!

The sentiment is by Creative Expressions.

Thanks for stopping by!

Egg Week 2025 Day 7

Hi there!

It’s Day 7 of LucieG’s Egg Week 2025! How can that be? I still have many ideas and unused product!

Today I focussed on the Simon Says Stamp Floral Egg embossing folder. I actually bought this on release day earlier this year – which is rare for me, I usually take my time with Simons products. But this just spoke to me – maybe because it reminded me so much of this card that I made my mum last Easter using lots of different embossing folders.
