Egg-stra Special!

Happy Saturday! I used Lawn Fawn’s Happy Hatchlings die set for this Easter card. Yes, I confess it took a long time to do the inlaid die cutting for those dotty eggs! Even did a bit of controlled ink smooshing which is not one of my usual techniques but I think you’ll be seeing it more in future!!

I found this sentiment in my Easter stamp box – bought it years ago from Archivers. Ah, such a wonderful store and very sorely missed!

I’m entering this into the current Color Throwdown challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks

The weather has been glorious today and I’ve been gardening – which means no time in my craft room! So here’s another card that I did for my SSS Flickr guest spot. I used a gorgeous new stamp from Penny Black and a die from Simon Says Stamp to create my very first hidden sentiment card.

The current challenge (‘something new’) runs until 13 April – hope you can play along!

Thanks for stopping by!

I love You-calyptus

Hi there!

Isn’t the latest release from My Favorite Things adorable? I HAD to buy the koala set -so very cute. Thanks again for the super-fast shipping, Seven Hills Crafts!

I kept thinking of the first wild koala that my friends and I saw on magnetic Island 15 (!!) years ago. It was super exciting, but fair to say that he looked slightly less happy than these MFT cuties!

Anyway, I used papers from My Mind’s Eye and followed the design for this week’s MFT sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Spring!

Hi there!

The daffodils are gradually being replaced by tulips in my part of the world and today I saw some beautiful tulips in Borde Hill Gardens which inspired me to make this card using a beautiful Memory Box die. The stamp is by Simon Says Stamp and I also used a new Altenew Stencil to add some interest to the base card.

I’m entering this into the current Case This Sketch challenge.

Happy Easter Bunny!

Hi there!

The theme for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is ‘anything goes’ using products by Stampendous. I coloured an older stamp with my beloved Twinkling H2Os and embossed a background panel using a wonderful folder by Leanne Creatif – it’s a great size for bigger cards!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!

I’m taking a break from my Easter crafting and pulled out an older background stamp by Penny Black together with dies from my Favorite Things and Lawn Fawn for this card.

I’m entering it into the current Casology challenge (text) and the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!
