Happy Easter

Hello everyone. I am back with another Easter card to share with you. For this card I have followed a sketch from The Sweet Stop and a colour inspiration from Scrapbook Boutique.

This was a quick and simple card to make. Once I worked out what my papers were things came together so easily. I selected papers from Pion Design and coordinated the elements from there. I selected a vintage Easter image and framed it with Spellbinders Timeless rectangle. I inked the edges of my papers and machines around each. To add more pink, I die cut a flourish and added some flowers. I selected a simple sentiment and added it to my card. Again I used foam tape between my layers to add dimension.

Supplies: 

Stamp: Stampin' Up! Teeny Tine Sentiments

Ink: Versafine vintage sepia, walnut stain distress ink

Paper: Pion Design Fairytale of Spring, Stampin' Up! very vanilla

Other: Spellbinders timeless rectangles, Memory Box Quinn flourish, Hooked on Craft flowers, Petaloo Forget Me Nots pink.

Fairytale of Spring card

I just love school holidays! I have time to enjoy so many things which include anything crafty! Today I am sharing a card that follows a sketch from The Sweet Stop.

For this card I used some of my Pion Design papers. They are so gorgeous and are one of my favourite papers. I used a square punch to create the tails of each of the fishtail banners. You simply mark where you want the tip to be (middle of the width of paper strip), line that mark with a corner of the punch. Then check that both of the sides of the punch line up with the paper strip edges (it should look like a right angle) the punch. I used this technique for all of the banners and it is very easy!

I wanted a vintage feel to this card. I found a gorgeous image from the internet of a child with flowers. I added some flowers and a bow to finish of my card.

Supplies:

Paper: Pion Designs Fairytale of Spring, Stampin' Up! cardstock

Stamp: Waltzingmouse Stamps Fancy Phrases

Ink: Distress ink Old Paper, Stampin' Up! Soft Suede

Other: Spellbinders nestabilities ovals small amd floral ovals, Hooked on Craft flowers, Stampin' Up! very vanilla seam binding, Becca's Bow Maker and Sullivans 1 1/2" square punch.

Thanks for stopping  by!

Happy Easter

I absolutely love Pion Design papers. I have been admiring them for a while. I was absolutely ecstatic when my order arrived this week. As we will be celebrating Easter, that became my inspiration for my project.

I started by die cutting this main image. I then began layering it using a variety of Spellbinders dies. I used foam tape between the top 2 layers to add some dimension.

Next I began playing with the background papers. My main colours are beige and dark brown. The beige background paper needed something extra. I inked the edges then used a background stamp. I wanted a vintage look, so I pressed lightly and inconsistently so that sections would appear to be faded. 

Next came the lace, ribbon, trinket pin and flower.

Just a small sentiment to finish the card.

Supplies:

Paper: Pion Designs Fairytale of Spring, Grant Archival neutral paper stack

Ink: Stampin’ Up soft suede, Distress Ink antique linen

Stamps: Stampin’ Up En Francais and Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Other: Spellbinders Nestabilities lacey ovales, classic ovals large, Spellbinders Shapeabilities standard tag, fleur de lis pendant, Hooked on Craft flower and trinket pin, Bow easy, lace, brown ribbon, gold nylon ribbon.
