My Little Paper World

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 ...

I was bummed that I didn’t get a chance to use  Ink Road Stamps – Fir Real  set before Christmas. The tree stamps are gorgeous and you should all know by now how much I love stamping patterns. I also have a huge stash of Christmas, Valentines, Easter etc. stamps that just sit in their packaging to only get used once a year…so I was determined to figure out a way to use this set! After staring at it for a bit, I realised a simple masking technique would turn those trees into a triangular geometric shape that I could work into an awesome background… Here are my cards: For more details come and check out my blog post on the Ink Road Stamps blog - here . Happy Crafting!

Today I'm quickly sharing a card I created for Craftie Cafe using Waffle Flower stamp set Purse-Nality . The theme for these cards was friendship - so I couldn't pass up using this super cute set with it's super 'punny' sentiments! Here is my card: Supplies Used: Craftie Cafe: Lawn Fawn Ink: Bubblegum, Plastic Flamingo, Sugarplum Tim Holtz - Stamping Platform Glue Dots/ Foam Dots Waffle Flower: Purse-nality Other: MFT Ink White/Blue/Pink/Grey Cardstock My Little Paper World - Sequins My Little Paper World - Rectangle Nesting die Silver String Versafine - Black Onyx Ink Glue Pen/Tape Runner Scissors/Paper Trimmer Cuttlebug Silhouette Cameo Here is a second card I created - same design, different colour scheme. This layering set was super fun to play with and the sentiments are adorable. Perfect cards to give to a close friend. The layers in the set are really simple to stamp - it's one of the reasons...

I think this card is going to speak to a lot of readers! Follow your dreams they know their way! I created this card using one of Beth Duff Designs digi stamps that she's provided to a select few who are trying out for her design team. Try outs aside - I really loved this image and had the perfect sentiment to partner with it.  Here is the card: When I saw this digi stamp I knew I wanted to create a wave like background - I would normally stamp more, create patterns but this wasn't the option available so... I decided to use a Lawn Fawn die set (Hillside Borders) to create my waves using different shades of blue cardstock. I even used some corrugated card (which flattened slightly in my Cuttlebug), and some vellum. Some card I even embossed then I added sequins and machine stitched lines - this card is very textural! (I LOVE IT!) The mermaid I coloured using Copic markers and I added extra interest to her hair and tail with Wink of Stella - clear (glitter) an...
