Happy Easter! Yes I know it was yesterday but today is still a holiday right? Today I am sharing a little Easter basket and a card especially made for Spring, let's hope it is just around the corner at last.
Here's a closer look at the basket. I ran the card through the textured embossing folder so that it looked a little more basket like. The flowers are made using the boho blossom punch with dsp and card. Oh and I added a little pearl in the centre of each one.
Hands off! The eggs are mine!
My Spring card is a very simple design, definitely a "less is more" card. I used the Spring sampler stamps and layered the images using square punches and the postage stamp punch.
No card to share today, sorry. I do however, have a top tip that I picked up at convention this year.
Need a nice, even chevron cut end to a banner on your card or tag? Use your square punch to get it nice and central! How easy is that and why hadn't I thought of it ages ago?!!
Another way of making sure the cut is nice and even is to snip from the bottom edge to the centre point and then cut from each corner to the centre.
This new embossing folder is great, such a deep, crisp impression and so effective. I used it on this card which would be a great card for the men in our lives. The squares were punched from designer series paper and opposite corners rounded using another punch. The bottom right square has a greeting stamped on it and is then raised on 3d foam.
Now this is a great template that could be used for many different stamp sets and occasions. The images have been stamped onto First Edition designer paper as well as plain coloured card stock and cut using the square punch.
