Hi Everyone!
My next Easter card for today uses the colours from this week’s CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.
I found this quite a difficult combo to work with – but inspiration struck late!
I used the wonderful Poppystamps Chick and Egg and Folk Decorated Eggs dies together with a Lawn Fawn grass die and a Simon Says Stamp sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Today I’m playing along with the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.
As I’m still on my Easter card drive, I just had to play with my new Pretty Pink Posh Spring Eggs! I decided to use the wonderful Sunny Studios basket stamp to corral the eggs – and then at the last minute, I added a little fun chick (by Simon Says Stamp). The sentiment is also by SSS.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share one of the cards I gave to my lovely mum today!
My mum adores all cats and so I knew one card I made for her would have to be kitty-themed. I pulled out another unused die that I bought when it popped up in Simon Says Stamp’s ‘deals and steals’ section – the Kitty Cat die.
I made three cats, colouring them with distress ink and adding a little face to each of them. Their whiskers are from the cats in the Penny Black set – I just love those curly whiskers, don’t you?
Finally I added an Avery Elle sentiment… and a few small gems.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
I didn’t manage to make many Easter cards last year because, well 2020! So when I received my very first Easter card yesterday, I knew it was time to pull out all my Easter supplies – I have a lot and they need to be used!!
So here is my first Easter card for 2021. I used the beautiful Simon Says Stamp Tulip Collage background die and added the Poppystamps Folk Decorated eggs and a couple of smaller eggs from a Marianne Designs set. The sentiment is from a Your Next Stamp set.
Thank for stopping by!

Happy Friyay everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches.
I when I saw the sketch, I thought of the Flower Cluster die from Simon Says Stamp. I was quite relieved actually because it meant I would finally use it. I’ve had it for YEARS but for some reason it has sat, unused, in its packaging all this time. I really can’t understand why I haven’t used it… Just look at it, so pretty!
First I embossed the image and coloured it using alcohol markers and coloured pencils. Then I added the die cut outline on top of the embossed image. I completed my card with a few gems a sentiment from a SSS/Memory Box Stamptember collaboration set.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s time for another challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using the sketch below and if you want to join with our optional twist, please use watercolour in some way!
For the main image, I used an older stamp from a Hero Arts wood mounted set. It’s actually dated 2006. How can that possibly be 15 years ago? Yikes! Anyway, I stamped it on some watercolour paper and then coloured it using my Twinkling H2Os. This totally shimmers in real life! To complete my card I added a few dots of gold Stickles and added a Simon Says Stamp sentiment.
My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog.
Hope you can play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by!
