Easter Basket

 Another Easter card today, this time using a SVG file to cut the basket, as I dont have a die.  I used the same egg stamps as I used on yesterdays card and the rabbit at the back is from Memory Box. I finished off with a sentiment across the bottom.

Memory Box Pinpoint Leaf Circle

This is the last card I did from my kit. I used the smallest flowers from the Vintage Lace set. I cut a frame using the Pinpoint Leaf circle die and this die cuts the middle out. I backed it with some grey card and added a sentiment. The papers were in the kit and I added some tiny black gems in the flower centers.

Happy Easter part 2

Good morning, here are my other two Easter cards . The first one is for my mum an dad and the other one I made three of for each of my children and their other halves. A friend lent me some of the dies and stamps, so thanks Gill.

First up the tulip card uses a die from Crafters Companion.  I hadn't seen this die before, but it's prefect for any Easter or Spring birthday card. I die cut it in white card and then used distress ink and a blending tool to add colour. The background is a frame from Sue Wilson Adorned Rectangles from the Noble collection die set. I run it through my machine and then stuck it to a piece of double sided adhesive and then threw glitter all over it. I raised it up on some foam pads so it created an aperture for the tulips. The sentiment is from Clearly Bessotted and I just matted that and the card base with some card from my stash.

 

The second card uses a wreath die from Memory Box, this card is my version of  a lovely card Gill had made. I used an old little flower punch to embellish it and I added a little distress ink to the leaves on the wreath. The background was made using a Joy cloud die that I cut out of some card and then used the waste part as a stencil to blend some distress ink through to create the sky. The bunny stamp, die and sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. I die cut the tail in felt as my little pom poms are in loft with Christmas bits. The bow die is from Sue Wilson again, like yesterdays. A few little pearls to flower centres to finish off.

 

 

I hope you enjoy what's left of the bank holiday weekend.

 

 

 

March Christmas card

Today is the 25th so its time for a Christmas card. Its been so cold this week, I had to get my gloves out again to walk the dog. When I got back I had to put the heating back on and make soup to warm up before heading to my craft room to make these cards. I had to remind myself it is almost April and not November !! Anyway, onto the card, I wanted to use something that I had brought and never used...well there's a surprise !! So I found my Memory Box Precious Snowflake die and using the inlaid technique ( well that's what I call it ) and this is what I made.

 

I used the cream shimmer cardstock from Stampin'Up and made my card base to 5" square. I cut another piece of the cream card and die cut the two snowflakes out. This piece was them backed with some double sided adhesive.

 

 I die cut the snowflakes again in Stampin Up soft sky cardstock and laid them back to cream cardstock so they were attached to the double sided sticky. Then I sprinkled glitter all over to cover the rest of the sticky areas. Down the side I masked off an area and stamped with the coordinating soft sky ink a little cluster of snowflakes from the Indigo Blu Seasons Greeting set and then drew a line with a ruler and a black fine liner pen. I stamped the sentiment in black which is from one of my Clearly Besotted sets using my misti. I found some little gems in my stash that match the soft sky perfectly. I love my Itty Bitty bow die from Sue Wilson, so used that for a finishing touch. Lastly,  it was matted onto some soft sky cardstock and mounted onto card base.

 

Managed to make three the same to add to my others from last month
