Easter Egg-y-ness – First Posted: Thursday, April 21, 2011

Hiyah!

It was my birthday recently and I was lucky enough to receive a mincer/sausage maker from my parents so I have been joyfully filling up my freezer with various flavours of yummy homemade sausages this week. You know how it is when you get carried away with something? Well I thought I should pop on here and share some Easter projects before it has been and gone!

I don’t tend to send Easter cards but I have a tag to share with you today although the image can just as easily be used on cards or scrapbook pages etc. Continuing with my ‘running before I can walk’ tendancies, I attempted to create a gold coloured bow on my egg with copics.

Card + Digital Stamp + Cut file set – First Posted: Wednesday, April 06, 2011

Hi there!

I have a digital stamp for you today which I hope will be useful for your Spring/Easter projects and I have another set of labels, yes another set! …and I have a few more label sets to share with you in future projects too so I hope you don’t tire of them.

My digi stamp is a Jug of Daffodils, I decided to stretch myself with my Copic colouring learning (I always try to run before I can walk) by chosing to have a white jug with a little blue stripe for my card. I cut out my chosen label shape and matting layer with my Craftrobo, the bottom left one turned on it’s side, I stuck them together then popped in some eyelets to thread my ribbon through. I did some more hand stitching on my base layers which I am really enjoying doing and love the effect of! I couldn’t decide whether to go for blues and whites to compliment the jug or to amp up the zing-y-ness of the yellow daffs so I included both ideas.

Ric Rac Flower Card + 3 Cut Files – First Posted: Friday, April 01, 2011

Hiyah,

I’ve been getting alot of questions regarding my cut files, they are designed for using with digital cutting machines and not for cutting by hand (scissors/craft knife). I use a CraftRobo(Silhouette) and therefore use GSD files, I’m not sure what file types the other cutting machines use or what additional software is required, I just try to help out as best I can by supplying the file formats that have been requested. I’m hope this helps with any confusion.

I got a great deal on some ric rac on ebay and remembered seeing these cute little ric rac flowers somewhere on the internet and after a bit of playing around I sussed them out, all you need to do is stitch along one side of the ric rac (the bumps along one side) and gather it up. I love how the yellow one turned out, it looks just like a Marigold, I even found the perfect tiny button to pop in the middle. I cut the grass out of some patterned paper then cut free hand some stems and leaves from the same paper and edged with some gel pen. I embossed my little clouds with a dot embossing folder and mounted my little scene on a label shape from my new set.
