Easter Card

Another Easter card,

this time for my Mother-in-law.

It really was made up from scraps from my table!

I cut some layering ovals in crumb cake card to make the card bigger

and the papers, all retired where cut then stamped

using  Home to Roost (retired) and crumb cake ink and stuck in place.

I punched a load of scraps using the Oval Occasions

punch to make the eggs.

They look a bit long but I wouldn't complain if

they were chocolate lol.

I layered them all up, stamped a sentiment

in rococo rose ink from the Timeless Tulips stamp set,

 then added the metallic bow.

I decided to add a little bird from the

Quite Curvy bundle and coloured him using

crumb cake and daffodil delight blends.

I added loads of Wink of Stella to the spots

on the eggs, doesn't pick up well in photo

but does make them look much prettier.

Easter Egg Cards

I made these cards for my Grandkids

for Easter.

I decided going with an oval shape would look cute

and with them all being boys

I went with green and blue colours.

I cut one oval in Bermuda bay and one in granny apple green.

The curvy die was used to cut the top and bottom

off both ovals and then I just swapped

them about and and stuck on to my base card

which I had cut with the same oval.

I stamped and coloured the little rabbit in

matching colours and the sentiment

was stamped in bermuda bay ink and

punched out using the Oval Occasions dies.

For this card I have used

Oh so Ombre papers retired

Oval Layering Dies

Curvy Dies

Fable Friends Stamp set retired

Crumb cake and Bermuda Bay blends

Bermuda Bay ink pad

Oval Occasions punch

Shopping List Book tutorial

                          

My Tutorial today shows how I made these lovely

Shopping List Pads with Pen.

I picked up some of these shopping pads at a local Pound store.

They were pretty thick and had no covers so I split them in half

and made two from each pad. The pens were also £1 and came in a pack of 3.
