Easter Display

I made an Easter Bunting this year for my display and since this
photo was taken i have added a few other trinkets.
I haven't got around to making many Easter cards this year
but i did manage to make the one below.
Only 4 more sleeps to the bunny hops by.

Hearts and Pearls

I wanted to make this card very special for my friends wedding.
The card is alot lighter in real life, the photos have come out a bit dark.
I used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla card stock.
I added lots of pearls , glimmer mist, distressed the edges and inked them.
I embossed the hearts and added lots of layers.
The card was front heavy but after finishing off the inside it sits ok.

Botanical Bonanza

I really like the Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper.
I have been using it alot lately. One packet of DSP goes so far.
I have made a card and a cute little tissue box using the DSP.
I cut the butterflies out of the DSP and added some ink and distressed their wings,
they look like they are a stamp.

Easter Ice-Cream Box

This little box was so much fun to make.
To start with i used an ice-cream box for the
template, so i had to eat the ice-cream first.
My husband surprised me with a Magnum
Temptation ice-cream and i was a little
excited when i saw the box, he thought it was for
the ice-cream but i was thinking of what a great
template to make more boxes and that's what i did.
I pulled the box apart and traced it onto an A4
sheet of cardstock, it takes up about 3/4 of a sheet and then i cut out
a piece on the top of the box to add a piece of window sheet
so we can see into the box.
I am going to make Easter gifts with this box but it would be great
for any occasion, as the box is a good size inside.







Easily Botanical

I made this card with the New Botanical Gazette DSP.
I cut out a design that was already printed on the DSP.
This Easel card came together really quickly, as the
paper has alot of really nice pages with many designs.
I used a blender pen to colour in some of the flower petals
with the So Saffron ink pad.


Pink Birthday

This is an easel card i made for my daughter's birthday.
I used lots of pinks, flowers and bling.
She loved it, that makes me happy.
