Easter pop up diorama

I made this card today for two of my Grandsons for Easter.
It's a pop up diorama card and it folds perfectly flat for posting!

I followed the sketch over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday
for the front layout, turning it to suit my card size.

The background clouds were inked using a mix of colours.
The bunny and egg was stamped, cut and 3d'.
I couldn't fit their names in so just went with boys.


When you open the card the right side pops up
to form the diorama.
I decorated it with the same clouds and an oval of carrots,
all stamped, coloured and cut out.

I have left the other side blank but will add an Easter verse
using the computer and pop in.
The little eggs are slightly raised so I can tuck the
verse under them.

Just hanging out!


I have another tag for Sandie's favourite theme
I've gone with animals.
I made a faux fence for the little cat to rest on.
Went a bit mad with the stamping but it was very relaxing
to just play with my stamps as I have been soooo busy
with card orders.
I stamped some little flowers along the edge of the fence
and coloured the flowers with gel pens.
The cat looks quite happy sat there lol.
I finished with sentiment and paper bow.

I hope you get time to join in.

Whiteboard card!


My card today is a version of the 'Chalkboard card'.
But I wanted to add a little window box for some
daffodils and the black behind was just not going to work.


The daffodils are from a stamp set called
Daffodil Daydream and I absolutely love colouring
them and fussy cutting them. So relaxing
and of course daffodils are my most favourite flower.
This card will be for my Mother-in-law for Easter.
I will do a tutorial showing how to make the basic
chalkboard style one for my newsletter.

Anything goes!


It's time for a new theme over at
and the lovely Sandie is letting us choose our own
favourite theme!
Mine would probably be celebrations so I have gone
with an Easter tag.
I used gingham for the background,
stamped the little carrots along the edge and
coloured them in.
I made a rainbow (murky rainbow lol) background,
punched out with a circle punch and
added to the centre of my tag.
I stamped the rabbit, coloured him up with blends and cut him out.
The sentiment was stamped and fussy cut
and added to finish the tag.

Double Day!


This is my midway post for
theme of wings and/or tales.

Remember we have a lovely prize up for grabs
so be sure and get your stamped projects in!

For my card I decided to try one of those fence cards.
Everything has been stamped, coloured and fussy cut
and layered onto the fence front
and the sentiment was stamped directly onto the card.

I am also a guest designer over at
today and this is the card I made for them.


The theme is
Perfect Pastels/Soft Spring colours

so I went with my Country Gingham papers and made
this card for my Aunt who fell and broke her shoulder recently.
The card is a vertical easel and I do have a tutorial on my YouTube
channel if you have never made one.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Weather not to be great here so not sure if we will venture anywhere
today. Enjoy Mother's Day tomorrow!
