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!

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.
The sentiment is by Reverse Confetti and is cut from some fabulous Simons luxe glitter card.

Hi there!
It’s Day 6 of LucieG’s Egg Week 2025! Today I decided to CASE another card I made back in February which coincidentally turned out to be my card for Day 6 of Heart Week 2025 – so weird after my Day 3 card!
I used the new Spellbinders coloured card in Windy, Seaside and Fairy Tale to cut a few eggs which I then coloured with a darker shade of distress ink. I’m extremely grateful to Michelle at The Card Grotto who shared a very informative post comparing the cardstock – it really helped me narrow down my choices as I often find the card I buy online is much darker than my preferred palette! Spellbinders UK has A4 sized card too – which is brilliant… I can almost forgive them for discontinuing my beloved Portobello cardstock… almost!
The largest die cut egg is the Waltham Egg by Memory Box. It’s dated 2016 and I probably bought it when it was newly released. Isn’t it pretty? I embossed the mint (Seaside) egg with the Simon Says Stamp Dancing Floral folder and then added lots of die cut butterflies from Simon’s Flickering Butterflies die set.

Hi there!
It’s Day 4 of LucieG’s Egg Week 2025! Today’s card is not what I had in mind at all… I spotted a challenge and decided to play along at the last minute. I loved the idea of using non-spring colours for an egg card (and in fact I have one in progress) but when I saw the combo for this fortnight’s CAS Colours & Sketches challenge, I pivoted!
I don’t have any Stampin Up inks or card so I just matched up what I saw on screen as best as I could! I used Basic Grey and Craft Consortium papers for the Blackberry Bliss and Pebbled Path colours and created a panel from Victorian Velvet distress ink which I felt was similar to the Moody Mauve. The colour turned out ‘muddier’ in real life than in my photos where the artificial light seems to have bleached it a bit.
I used the Petal Egg Layer die set by Birch Press Design and the Privet Branch die by Simon Says Stamp. I decided I needed more of the Victorian Velvet/Moody Mauve so added a shadow layer behind the grey leaves,

Hello again!
After last week’s stress to get my card uploaded just before the Freshly Made Sketches challenge deadline, I made sure that my card was finished MUCH earlier this week!
I originally wanted to combine the sketch with my ongoing ‘Egg week’ Easter focus, but I really wanted to start using the Birch Press Design Block Print Radiant Butterfly die set that landed on my doormat this week. So I pulled out my mirror card and distress inks and got busy!
This is such a fabulous bold butterfly, it really doesn’t need a supporting cast so I opted for a simple embossed background using the Simon Says Stamp Star Lattice folder.

Hi there!
It’s Day 2 of LucieG’s Egg Week 2025!
Today I used the Big Egg die set by Reverse Confetti. I actually tried this with several different papers and colours but in the end I chose this version with some beautiful My Mind’s Eye paper. The background is a Spellbinders folder and the bow is from a new Simon Says Stamp set.
The sentiment is from a set also by Simon Says Stamp.
Thanks for stopping by!
