My Little Paper World

Happy Easter everyone!  Since having children – Easter is probably one of my favourite family ‘moments’ of the year. The chocolate, hot cross buns, family get together’s and the best bit the Easter egg hunts! So for today’s card I wanted to create something fun and bright and inspired by eggs. I created this card using Elizabeth Craft Designs: Spring Sentiment stamp set. I've written a quick tutorial on how I created this card on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog which you can view here . Stay Safe - and eat all the Easter eggs you can find!

Memory Box always has very versatile and cute dies – the Sketch Bunny and Background were perfectly paired together to create so many different options that they were instantly added to my Craftie Café shopping cart so that I could share two ways to create a card with them. The first card I decided I wanted see what these bunnies would look like together. So I created a simple layout that showcased the bunnies. I first die-cut the background bunnies (x6) which I then stamped using Impression Obsessions – Mini Patterns 2 - Cling Rubber Stamp and a selection of lawn fawn inks. I then die-cut the sketch bunny (outline) in co-ordinating colours that matched the inks and then adhered the pairs together. I assembled my card – stamping the sentiment and adhering the six bunnies to my card front. I machine stitched a white border (optional) and I added little pompoms (I’m not entirely sure what they’re called – but they came out of my kids craft box!) for little bunny tails. Here i...

It's Challenge time again over at Elizabeth Craft Designs . The theme: Frame it! So many option, so many ideas! I decided to create a card using the Entwined Egg die. The biggest challenge for me was finding a medium that would create a really light pastel palette. I originally tried Distress Inks but wasn't happy with how it turned out. In the end I realised that the only light enough colours I own would be my Copic markers - so using BV, RV, R, and Y in numbers ranging from 000-1 I created two cards. Here is my first card for the Frame It challenge:  I created my background using ECD: Bouquet Embossing Folder. I cut the Entwined Egg die on Copic friendly paper and coloured it in using my Copic markers. Next I die-cut a few of the flowers in a range of colour coordinating paper that matched the egg frame. I added sequins and embellished it with a bow. The sentiment is from Elizabeth Craft Designs: Spring Sentiments . Here is a second card. Same design but ...

Easter is on it’s way! After Christmas when Hot Cross Buns became available at the shops I was thrilled! I’m also a BIG chocolate eater – I love Easter and love getting a chance to challenge myself and create a few Easter themed cards with a few supplies I got from Craftie Café . I have in the past created my Easter cards based on religious themed stamps and dies, but as I’ve had kids (who are all now at the age where an Easter egg hunt is the best thing ever!) my cards now reflect this… so todays card (with video tutorial) is rather cute and was a lot of fun (messy too!) and all about the eggs…and bunnies! Here is the card: I used a combination of Lawn Fawn inks, my finger (wonderful stamping tool!) and Poppystamps die - bunny ears to create this grid layout Easter card. The sentiments are from Impression Obsession: Easter Basket - which is unfortunatlely now out of stock - but any Easter sentiment would work with this card. I took the opportunity to create a few ...

I had some time extra card making time this week and decided to use this cute little stamp set from Impression Obsession and play along with their current challenge - clean and simple . Here is my card: Supplies Used: Impression Obessesion: Easter Basket stamp set. Lawn Fawn Inks : Grape Soda/Minty Fresh/Ballet Slippers/Celery Stick/Butter Twine White Cardstock My Little Paper World Sequins MISTI Sewing Machine Paper Trimmer Tape Runner/Glue Dots This set had so many stamping options that I couldn't stop at just one card. I created an addition three cards (not so clean - but definitely simple) that you can view below. Stamping the bunnies above was fun but...not as much fun as stamping the eggs! See card below. I love the option of an outline and a block stamp - so many options in terms of stamping, or even colouring. For this card I used the same ink colours to create rows of eggs, highlighting one egg in each row by using the ...
