Happy Easter

The only Easter cards I make are for the grandchildren, so I can slip some money inside to buy chocolate! 

It’s easier than trying to post Easter eggs.

So we have four very similar cards made using up some of my 6x6 papers.  The sentiment was computer generated and printed to match the mats (or as close s I could get). The top two went to the two boys and the bottom two to Roy’s grand nieces.

Easter Fun

It is my turn to choose the theme at Make My Monday and I went for Easter Fun. My craft room is still in a state of chaos but I have got the laptop and printer set up now. So I went for a digital creation.

I used Craft Artist and some of their digikits to make this card.Such a shame that it is no longer available.

This is what my room looked like at the weekend!

Easter Cards

It's a beautiful sunny day here today, and warm as well! Just right for some Easter cards. I don't make them as a rule but I've made some to send to my grandsons with some money to buy their Easter present. Chocolate eggs are just too difficult to post, and they get so many anyway that I thought they might prefer to buy themselves something.

I made these from last months Simon Says Stamp kit - I think the egg shaped bunny is so cute. I'm afraid I didn't have an original idea in my head at the time so they are cased from the idea sheet they put in the kit.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and I'll be back on Tuesday with a new card for Cardz 4 Guyz.

Easter at Cardz 4 Guyz

The challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz this week is Easter or Spring. I recently bought the Presscut die to make this Z fold card and wanted to try it out. So I have made an Easter card for a young guy!

I used papers and stamps from Simon Says Stamp that were part of a kit last year. the die certainly made cutting all the pieces a lot easier!  I hope you can join us this week and look forward to seeing what you make.

Happy Easter!

Another card using the SSS monthly kit.I think these bunnies are so cute!

I stamped them on some of the papers from the kit and added some white flock to the tail. The sun was stamped with a stamp from a previous kit and the hills are cut with Stitched Slopes and Hills dies.I think they would have shown up better if I'd used two shades of green.

Hope you all have a Happy Easter!

I would like to enter this in the following challenges
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Come Rain or Shine
Addicted to Stamps and More - Anything goes
 

Happy Easter!

Hello, today I have two Easter cards to show you - the same but different (or at least the background paper is!) I decided it was high time to get out of the rut of making all my cards with either a side fold or top fold, and cut these ones out on my Silhouette.

The papers are from the Simon Says Stamp March kit and the stams are from SU. The tulip one is retred and I masked of the sentiment that came with it and used one from another set, but can't remember which one! I am entering this into the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamps and More - Holiday Challenge
Make My Monday - Flowers
Crafters Cafe - Easter ( this is a new to me challenge site)
Pixies Playground - where the challenge is always to use snippets - mine are the green mats and the gingham ribbon.
 

Tidy Craft Room

Well I finished the craft room eventually last week. It seems a shame to make it untidy again!

But I did do some quick stamping to make these. As I'd bought some smaller items for my grandsons, thinking I would have to post them I put them in carrier bags to keep them tidy.  As it happens I haven't posted them as they are coming down on Wednesday for a couple of days.

 

 I used a retired SU set of stamps called Everybunny - actually I think its the only Easter stamps I have, and just stamped all the images fairly randomly then coloured them in with SU marker pens. The letters are Clarity stamps Letterbox kit. They were so easy to use I wish I'd bought them sooner! 

Anyway it's a good job I didn't make the craft room too untidy again as on Wednesday it will have an airbed in for my son to sleep on! Usually it would be me as they have my bed but my daughter - in- law is working all week and can't get the time off - so it's a boys only trip!

Digitally Sweet Challenge #83 - Easter

Goodness this year seems to be flying past - here we are at Easter next week already! And of course at Digitally Sweet we have an Easter themed challenge!  The sponsor is Lacy Sunshine and I have used Rory's Eggstra Special Delivery. I have digitally coloured her in Craft Artist and added some Easter themed embellishments from  some daisy Trail kits.

 

The embossed eggs and Happy Easter are from their new Digiboss kits. They are so easy to use - just drop them on top of whatever paper you have chosen! Do go and see what the rest of the Design Team have been up to this week as well.

Easter Hanger

This originally started life going to be a card but got changed along the way! I'd played with the eggs stamp and had made a perfect circle with it on a piece of scrap paper but typically when I did it on card had just aligned one up wrongly so the last one wouldn't fit, so a lucky horseshoe instead! I embossed in gold then coloured with promarkers.

 

The chicken was an afterthought but think maybe he should have been left off!  All the stamps are from Clarity

Happy Easter

I made this sweet Easter card at card club last week. I love this Everybunny stamp set from SU. The papers I used were from an  old DCWV paper pad that I've had for simply ages but I thought the colours were perfect for an Easter card. You can make two of these cards from a 12 x 12 piece of card. If you want to see the second one I made, have a look here. Also if you too like this stamp set it is available from me on my SU Blog

Easter cards

I don't usually make Easter cards but the card swap I participate in has the the Easter for this months and decided to send one to each of my grandsons as well as it's difficult to post Easter eggs. No doubt they'll have "chocolate tokens" in!! No idea what make the decoupage is as it's been in my stash a long time but the dotty paper is from Papermania as are the flowers and bow and the cardstock is from Kanban.
