Of course it doesn't have to be for Easter - I made my card to welcome Spring.

Easter Parade

Hello again,  here we are, already Easter is around the corner. 

For the next two weeks at Fanatasy Stampers  our challenge is

Easter Parade

The choice of design is left to you but please use a STAMP, not a digi.

For my card, I have made a 6" x 4" card. I used  yellow  card to mat

the stamped design. You know how you have stamps which are so old, yet never 

go out of style or trend. Well this little stamp is one of my all time wooden

favourites, by Papermania  - Easter Bunny. 

I masked the centre bunny to stamp the two outer bunnies.

Coloured all with Promarkers. 

Thanks for popping by. 

Bunnies

Hi everyone, it doesn't feel much like Spring to me today, it hasn't stopped raining and it's cold.  A good reason to stay indoors and craft. For the next two weeks at Ruby's Rainbow we would like to see for the challenge Bunnies, so cute for Easter time, but my card is welcoming Spring and all it brings. My background papers are from LOTV and my stash, as are the embellishments. The main image is a stamp from LOTV, coloured with Promarkers. The Spingtime stamp is from Papermania.
Hoping your weather is more suitable for Easter time and Spring.

Easter Animals

Hello,  this is my second posting today.  At  MTTC,  My Time To Craft,  for the next week our challenge is Easter Animals - I'm sure you'll have as much fun as the DT have, please pop over and see their amazing projects. For my DT entry, I have created a card, using papers from a Generations paper pad, with some gorgeous fresh spring colours. The main image is 'Happy Easter' from LOTV, coloured with Promarkers and Distress Inks, Tumbled Glass and Mown Lawn.  I love how the rabbits are tearing off the paper to get to the wonderful chocolate Easter egg. The embellishments and greeting are from stash.  To everyone who celebrates, I wish you a very Happy Easter.

Easter

Hello everyone, this is one of two entries for today. I am starting with my DT entry to
Fantasy Stampers where for the next two weeks we will be challenging you to join us with an Easter project. Remember we do accept all forms of paper crafts it does not have to be a card. Please pop over to check out the DT inspiration.  For my card, I used papers from a Generations pad of papers, which are so fresh and springlike.  The main image is from LOTV - Spring Swing, coloured with Promarkers and Distress Ink Tumbled Glass. The flowers and butterfly I made with air dry clay and a Katy Sue mould. The bunting is from a CD - Halycon Days from Crafter's Companions. The letters for Easter are from my stash. Have fun and if it applies to you, a Happy Easter.

Hello, at Alphabet Challenges, for the letter C for the next two weeks we challene you with Cute and Cuddly. Whatever you wish to make, as long as it is Cute and Cuddly.

The little flowers and leaves I made with air dry clay and a Katy Sue Mould.  Have fun everyone.

Photo Inspiration - Fantasy Stampers

We have something different for you this week at Fantasy Stampers.  Easter with a beautiful photo to inspire you. Lots of pretty spring colours. I first thought of wonderful paste eggs, we don't seem to have them nowadays, the younger generations are more inclined towards chocolate eggs, I then thought about the song 'In my Easter Bonne,t with all the frills upon it' la la , so I went along with the thought of a pretty Easter bonnet.

I used the following...

White Card stock

Background papers in pretty green shades from Dreamees CD Rain or Shine 

Patterned pink light card from my stash of  CD papers,

to make the bow and the centre border.

I made the bow with my WRMK envelope maker, it was so easy.

The lady stamp  is one of two ladies in pretty bonnets I bought from E bay, - sorry there was no information on the make etc.

The happy Easter greeting from a free set with a magazine.

The frame for the greeting from a  Kanban set of label stamps. 

The flowers and leaves are from my stash.

So,  looking at the jar of coloured eggs and pretty flowers how does it inspire you, pop over to the blog to see how the Design Team were inspired., and hopefully we will see your project over the next  two weeks.

HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE.

Beary Nice

Hello everyone, Well it's nearly that time of the year when we celebrate Easter, which was in my mind, when Shell at MTTC (My Time To Craft) suggested for our challenge this week to use Bears, nice, cuddly,   lovable bears. i have always liked DL cards, as these are called, I think it means Double Length, the card measures 3.5 " wide x  7" long. Sorry I still believe in feet and inches. I used a lovely Tatty Ted - A Do Craft  stamp and coloured it with Promarkers. I'm so looking forward to seeing your Beary Nice projects, please take a peek at the challenge blog to be inspired by the Design Team. Thanks for any comments you may leave.

Sparkles Monthly - Easter Parade

An indication for me of how fast the months go by, is how fast it seems to come round to Sparkles Monthly, here we are ready for our third challenge this year for the month of March. Shaz has chosen for us 

Easter Parade .  Please do take a look at the challenge blog for the fabulous designs by the Design Team. Have fun, anything to do with Easter, chicks, eggs, rabbits, hats, bunnies, you have so many to choose from. A friend loaned me a very large stamp which stamped out the  Easter basket, it was then cut, scored, folded and glued together, I added tissue paper, a few small Easter eggs and two little chicks, one has jumped out to say hello to the 3 little rabbits on the card. The rabbits have been decoupaged at varied heights to give dimension. Coloured with Promarkers. Sadly I have no idea whose make the rabbits wooden stamp  with Easter eggs is, it has no identification on it.

Thanks to our sponsors this month

Please pop over to the main blog to see the wonderful prize for the winner.

CAS - One Layer Card

I wish you all a very Happy Easter, have you ate too many chocolate Easter eggs? I've been a good girl I have, no Easter eggs at all, having been diagnosed with Diabetes.  I will ask for another kind of treat next time we're in Durham,  you never know it could even be something crafty. Back to business, today we at

 Make My Monday would like to see a One Layer CAS card. Please pop over to the main blog to find the instructions and to see the wonderful creations from the newly expanded DT. As today is Easter Monday I thought a little Easter card would fit the challenge. I used a sweet little wooden stamp, I know I purchased it at a craft event but it has no name on it. I still love my wooden stamps and whenever I see them at a ridiculous price, well I just have to rescue them. I stamped it in the middle first then at each end. Have you spotted how straight they are from a wooden stamp? Hot tip I discovered, though many may already know it. I placed a larger acrylic block which is about 1/2" thick along the line I wanted to stamp under. Weighted it down with a large punch, then lined up the wood of the stamp against it and stamped. After I had stamped all 3 images. I then used a line on a Keepsake board  to emboss two lines to form a panel, turned the card over and embossed the same two lines again. I then used a ruler and the tip of a yellow Promarker to make the yellow lines. Coloured the remainder of the images with Promarkers. Yes, the colour did go through the card, but I put a piece of same coloured card on the inside, which is unseen because of the insert paper. 

Again I hope you all have a lovely remaining Easter and enjoy the One Layer CAS challenge.
I am also entering this into Artistic Impressions - Easter or Spring Challenge.
