Hopping by to wish you Happy Easter

Hello

Have you seen the new images by LOTV - they are just so cute!

Today's card features one of the new simply print design sheets called Easter Egg Hop. 


I'm still trying to use up crafty supplies and this card uses a DL sized card.  For some reason all my cards now seem to be six inch square cards.  It was a nice change using a different sized card blank. 

The designer paper is from the retired Petal Fresh paper pad by LOTV/NitWit Collection.  A Martha Stewart border punch was used to create the lace pattern.  The sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp Die and the happy is a stamp from Lawn Fawn (Happy Happy Happy).  You can't see it very well in the photo but I went over the Easter die cut with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Brush Pen.  I added string pearls, three punched butterflies and a mixture of fun flock and flower soft to the rabbit's tail as finishing touches.        

Hope you liked the card.  The Simply Print sheets are really great for making quick cards.  

Thank you for stopping by and for your comments - I really do appreciate you leaving them.

Using Up Crafty Stash

Hello

I hope everyone is staying safe and well.  One advantage of not being able to go out is that I get a bit more time to craft!  Hopefully I will have a few cards to share over the next few days/weeks.  

One of my targets this year was to use up some of the crafty stash that I've accumulated over recent years.  I was having a clear out the other week and came across a box full of Forever Friends images, decoupage sheets and stickers.  I decided to create this birthday card using one of the decoupage sheets.  


Apologies for the poor photography - I find easel cards difficult to photography!!

The patterned paper is also Forever Friends.  The sentiment is one of Phil Martin's Sentimentally Yours range (Elegant Milestone Birthdays) which was heat embossed using WOW Metallic Silver Super Fine Embossing Powder.  The dies are by Tattered Lace (Essential Pearl Circles) and the butterfly is a  Memory Box die (Pippi Butterfly).  Roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Thank you for stopping by and for any comments - I really do appreciate them.
