IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND ANOTHER EASTER CARD

I don’t have a Friday Fun Fold card for you today but I do have a beautiful Easter card to share.

Today I am featuring the Everyday Details Bundle.

I thought the nest with eggs would be delightful for a card this Easter.

The little nest was stamped before I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends – Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon and Pecan Pie.

I used the colour lifter to lighten areas of the eggs shells before painting them with Clear Wink of Stella.

After I finished colouring the nest, I used the largest of the circles from the Everyday Essentials Dies to cut it out.

The greeting was stamped using Lost Lagoon and cut with anothe rof the dies from this same set.

Before attaching them to the front of the card, I took a panel of White Vellum and embossed it using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder.

I attached the embossed vellumto the Lost Lagoon cardbase and then, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, added the die cut elements to the card.

Using Linen Thread, I teid a triple bow and attached it to the nest, using a Mini Glue Dot.

The nest was stamped on the card insert and on the envelope, using Pecan Pie ink.

The final flourish was the addition of some Lost Lagoon embellishments from the Tinsel Gems 3 Pack.

The plan next week is to feature the new Magnolia Mood products.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today’s project was inspired by a project I made last year at a Paper Angels Team Day. It is a sweet and simple Easter basket.

The basket is made using a 7 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ piece of Lost Lagoon card.

It was scored at 2 1/2″ along both sides. Along the top and bottomsides, the card was cut 2 1/2″ in, leaving the centre panel uncut.

Then I cut six 2 3/8″ x 2 3/8″ Basic White squares. They were then embossed using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

These embossed pieces were attached to the three panels on each side of the base.

I used Tombow Multipurpose Glue to overlap and adhere the top and bottom panels to create these angeled basket sides.

Before securing the central Lost Lagoon panel, I created the handle. I used a 3/4″ length of Lost Lagoon card and a 5/8″ strip of Basic White card.

The white card was also embossed, in two steps. Then the embossed strip was attached to the Lost Lagoon base piece.

I adhered the handle inside the basket and then the remaining Lost Lagoon panels were glued over the top of the handle ends to secure them.

The basked was finished with soem die cut and assembled eggs and a stamped and die cut Easter greeting.

Finally, I added some Lost LAgoon Tinsel Gems 3 Pack embellishments.

Last, but not least, I added some Easter eggs to the backet.

WELL, WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY?

For today’s card I decided to use the Countyrside Inn 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, because one of the designs has bunnies on it!

As it turns out, there is no stamping on this card.

I started with a Misty Moonlight cardbase and then added a layer of the striped Designer Series Paper.

The largest Countryside Inn Die was used to cut a panel of the bunny design DSP.

The two layers of DSP were adhered directly to the cardbase.

Two of the smaller, detailed eggs were cut, with Adhesive Sheet on the back.

I also cut the ‘Celebrate’ die from the Wanted to Say Dies. After peeling back the adhesive sheet backing, I positioned the Misty Moonlight greeting over the whoite outline of the greeting.

The eggs and greeting were positioned on the card front.

I also cut two Misty Moonlight detailed eggs to add to the card insert and the envelope.

Using white twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, I created a triple bow to add to the card front.

Finally, I added some Irifescent PAstel Gems to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a classic Easter egg basket to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
