You're a good Egg

I know I'm a bit late but I thought I would share some more Easter cards that I didn't get around to blogging, I used the Violet Studio Hoppy Easter collection.

For this card I used three of the pretty papers, a topper and some fussy cut flowers, a very simple card.

This time I cut a banner from one of the papers and die cut a circle in the centre, I then added a little bunny face to the middle.  I added some fussy cut flowers along with a sentiment from the collection.

For this card I used a Christina Griffiths die to cut the egg shape from one of the papers and added a die cut along with some more fussy cut flowers.

Another simple card this time, a couple of papers, a topper and sentiment from the collection.

So Egg-cited!

I have been making some Easter Cards with the Violet Studios Hoppy Easter collection that I picked up  from Crafter's Companion.  Everything I have used to create these four cards is from the collection apart from some scraps of ribbon and twine from my stash.

I used a  Tim Holtz die to create the label on this card along with a scalloped edge die from Clearly Besotted.  The gems are from Hunkydory and the ribbon and twine are from my stash.

All I have added to this card is a gem from Hunkydory, everything else is from the Hoppy Easter collection.

The stitched square die on this card is from Hunkydory, it is an older die that I was given when I was on their design team back in 2019.

I used the Easter egg die from the Sara Davies Easter Signature Collection from last year along with some older Die-namics oval dies to create the little basket and some more gems from Hunkydory.

I'm sorry if I haven't managed to get around to visit everyone yet, I promise I will shortly.  Thank you for visiting my blog today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Hoppy Easter

 This is the other Easter card that I managed to create with the Sara Signature Easter Box from Crafter's Companion.

I decided to have a go at making a Reverse Easel card and did a bit more stamping and colouring.  The stamps are all from the collection, there are dies to cut out the cute stamped chicks, I also used some of the papers and card stock from the collection.

Anyone for a Carrot

This is the final Easter card for now, I have a lovely Echo Park Easter collection so I might make a few more in the near future!

I have used another topper and papers from my Authentique Cottontail collection along with a little rabbit that I fussy cut from another topper.  As before I have inked the edges of everything and cut some flowers from one of the papers.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Happy Easter

I have another Easter card to share today, I have used my Authentique Cottontail collection to create this one.

I love this bunny topper, it comes with the plaid background, I decided to fussy cut the scalloped image, there are always two of each topper and paper in Authentique collections, so that I could pop it up with foam pads to add dimension.  I inked the edges of everything and cut the flower from one of the papers.

Thank you for popping in today - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Easter Bunny

I have something a little different to share today, I have had this MDF Bunny in my stash for ages and decided that it was about time I did something with it.

I used papers from my Authentique Springtime collection to cover the bunny and fussy cut the eggs from one of the toppers in the Authentique Cottontail collection.  The little bow is an old Die-namics die, cut from another of the Springtime papers.  I added some additional colour to a couple of the eggs and created some grass with a Lawn Fawn die.

Best Easter

I thought I would make a couple of Easter cards this year, we haven't been able to see my Mother-in-Law since before Christmas so I thought I would make her one and I might make some for the Nursing Home that my Mum was in.

I used an older Authentique collection called Jubilee that has been in my stash for some time, I love the vintage images and papers in this collection.

I really like this sentiment, the main image and papers are from the 12 x 12 collection but the sentiment is from the 6 x 6 collection.

Hoppy Easter

This is the third project that I created for Crafter's Inspiration Issue 25, I was asked to create three off the page projects using the Easter Treats Digi collection.

Easter Surprise

This is another of the projects that I created for Issue 25 of Crafter's Inspiration Magazine, I was asked to create three off the page projects using the Easter Treats Digi collection.

I decided to create a simple exploding box to put some little Easter eggs in.  I cut the box from Crafter's Companion Stamping Card - this card is perfect for card bases and construction.  To decorate the box I used two of the papers and some of the toppers from the digi collection along with some red solid paper also printed from the CD.

I just popped some chocolate Easter eggs into a cellophane bag and secured it with a ribbon to complete my project.

I used the Hunkydory Spring Days Country Life collection to create this card for my Mum to send to a friend.

I only used a couple of layers of decoupage because this card will have to go in the post.

I also decorated the inside of the card using the other half of the card stock that I used for the base layer on the front.

Happy Easter Wishes

I created this card for this weeks Less is More Challenge, I then read the challenge properly and realised that it is One Layer Week, so I had to go back to the drawing board and create another card.

I wasn't going to waste this card though and decided to blog it anyway.  I used papers from Echo Park and a sentiment from The Lovely Studio, I cut the papers out with my Lawn Fawn Speech Bubble Border.
