Jumping Chick

Hi there!

Today I’m playing along with the colour challenge at The Paper Players and the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

The colour combo for The Paper Players challenge just said Easter to me, but my inspiration was a bit lacking until I saw the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and thought I could create a fun chick scene using the Easter colour combo. I used the chick from Poppystamps’ Chick and Egg die set, together with a Memory Box egg and Lawn Fawn grass die – all coloured with distress inks.

To complete my card, I added a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

Hopping By to Say Hi!

 

Hi there!

Today I’m playing along with the Addicted to CAS challenge which has a theme of animals.

I’m currently making the most of all my Easter supplies so knew that I would want to make an Easter card for this challenge – so that meant bunnies or chicks (although I suppose I could have also used my Easter Newton stamps too). Anyway, in the end I chose the Simon Says Stamp Oh Bunny set and got creating.

I decided to add a little interest to my card base by adhering a die cut background for the bunnies and chose the Frieda Wreath by Poppystamps. Next I stamped the largest bunny image in the set using distress oxide ink and then cut it out using the coordinating die. Finally I added a Taylored Expressions sentiment to complete my card.

Egg Gift Bag

Hello again everyone!

I’m back with a card for Perfectly CAS challenge where the theme is ‘die cuts’. Clean and simple AND die cuts?!! A very ‘Lucie’ challenge!

I decided to create a little Easter bag with the Waffle Flower Crafts Flat Paper Bag and the Poppystamps Folk Decorated Eggs. After colouring the images with distress ink, I spent some time arranging the eggs before adhering them to my card base which I had also sponged with a little distress ink. I added a Simon Says Stamp sentiment to complete my card,

The Golden Egg

Happy Sunday!

Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge which has a palette of lime green, aqua and gold.

Such an interesting combo! As I’m making Easter cards at the moment, I decided to create a little Easter scene using distress oxide inks and dies by My Favorite Things, Poppystamps and Memory Box! e and a few Spellbinders flowers coloured with distress inks! Plus a sentiment from Taylored Expressions! Lots of different brands here! It was so much fun to make!

A Nest of Speckled Eggs

Happy Friyay everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the spring challenge at The Paper Players.

When I saw the challenge graphic, my eye was immediately drawn to the little nest  and knew that it was time to pull out my Easter dies! I bought the Twiggy Nest die by Memory Box back in 2020 and only used it once or twice last year, so I’m determined to show it more love this year! I paired it with the Poppystamps Whittle Eggs which I cut from a panel of card that I’d covered in Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink. I don’t recall using Speckled Egg ink for my Easter cards last year… not sure why as it’s clearly the perfect colour!

I smooshed some Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink on my card base and splattered some Speckled Egg ink. Finally I added a Memory Box sentiment.

Spring Window

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Today’s card of for the embossing folder challenge called ‘Can You Handle the Pressure‘ where the twist is spring.

I’ve used the beautiful Domed Window Folder by Memory Box – it embosses a beautiful window frame and also cuts out the window panes too. I waited a LONG time for this one (bought in October and finally arrived in January), but it was worth the wait.

I created a window box using the fabulous Springtime Border (Memory Box) plus the Grand Flower Box (Poppystamps). As I was assembling the card, I felt it was lacking a little something so I added a little Simply Graphic kitty!

The sentiment is also by Memory Box.

Thanks for stopping by!
