Easter Project - No. 2

Another Easter card for you today and I have to admit that I'm not that happy with it, but I think it's a good idea to share not just the good, but the bad and the ugly too!

Now, I'm not saying that this card is either 'bad' or 'ugly' but there is something about it that I'm not happy with that I can't put my finger on at the moment.

I used the "Everybunny" stamp set, which I love, it's sooo cute!  I also used the "Delightful Dozen" stamp set for the sentiment, which is a great stamp set and should be in every crafters stash!

Anyway, I'm off to ponder this card for a bit and see if I can come up with what's bugging me about it, chat again soon... x

Easter Projects ~ No. 6

Hello, hope you are having a lovely Good Friday, we are all being very mellow and lazy here, which is lovely.

My share for you today is another Easter card.

It's a box card and uses both "Easter Blossoms" and "Everybunny" Easter themed stamp sets. 

It's quite easy to make, I cut out a circle in the centre of the "Lucky Limeade" piece, I used this to draw, very lightly in pencil, the circle on the "Whisper White" piece so that I knew where to stamp my main image.

Once all the stamping and colouring was done I scored both pieces of cardstock at 1cm on both ends and stuck them together.

Whilst the two main stamp sets used are themed for Easter, both of these sets have wonderfully images that can be used all year round, I'll be sharing some projects showcasing their versatility over the coming weeks.

Easter Projects ~ No.4

Hello,

Well, I'm all behind today but I did just want to really quickly pop in and share with you a little Easter project for those who would rather not give chocolate on the day.

The ribbon on the side opens up to reveal a section where you can put a gift card or money.

As I say, just a really quick, short post.  I'll be back either later today or in the morning with a tutorial on how to put this card project together, until then, take care ..... xx

"Sale-a-bration" ends today ~ last look

Hi there, hope you are having a lovely Saturday.

Today I will be sharing the last lot of projects I've made using the exclusive products you can get for free as part of this years "Sale-a-bration" event.

 

These two cards are basically the same, the only real difference is that on the top card I used the "Postage Stamp" punch and on the bottom the "1 1/4" Square" punch.  The card blanks for these are 2/3rd of a sheet of A4 "Confetti Cream" cardstock folded in half.  Cards this size fit into a standard business envelope.

The next couple of cards are Easter cards, which I am waaaay behind on!

The "Everyday Enchantment" DSP is perfect for Easter projects.

On both of these cards I used the large image from "Creative Elements" stamp set as a background stamp.

This next card has a very simple colour palette being just Black, White & Red. This uses the "Fresh Vintage" stamp set from the "Sale-a-bration" collection.

Just to add some interest, I added a string of pearls to underline the sentiment and also on the centre of the butterfly that I cut out using "Beautiful Wings" embosslit and the "Everyday Enchantment" DSP.

... and finally,

A celebration card using the "Outlined Occasions" stamp set, which is another "Sale-a-bration" option.

Well I hope you have found some inspiration amongst these last few projects, I can honestly say that the products being offered for free as part of this years "Sale-a-bration" is outstanding and I'm sorry that they will no longer be available after today, so if you want to get your hands on, please don't delay and get in contact today as I would hate for anyone to be disappointed.  Remember, you can choose 1 item for every £45 spent

Easter Projects ~ No.3

I was chatting to someone on the phone yesterday and we were talking about getting together after Easter so I said "in about 3 - 4 weeks time?" and they reminded me that Easter is next week!  ~ Blimey, where did that time go!  Thank goodness I had started making my Easter projects already I just need to concentrate on making some cards now as I have less then a week to get them done.

In the meantime, I'm sharing with you a very simple Easter project to pretty up some lovely chocolaty goodness.

 

You just have to pull the ribbon to slide out the chocolate - simple!

I like this project as you don't damage the wrapping to get the goodies out so the recipient can re-use if they want to.

I'll be back again later today with another last minute "Sale-a-bration" project ~ you only have until end of tomorrow to get your hands on "Sale-a-bration" goodies, and once they are gone, they're gone!

Chat again later, until then, have a great day ... xx
