Hoppy Hoppy Easter

Hello crafters!  I started today's card by cutting two circular frames using the Double Stitched Circles.  I added mounting foam to the back of each of the frames and attached them to another piece of white card, offsetting them.  In the top frame, I cut the large and small "Chip" The Chicks in yellow and added white eggshells to them.  I cut the tuft of grass from the Easter Bunny die set and added them below the chicks.  I cut a small flower twig and added yellow and pink flowers to it then attached it behind the chicks.  In the lower frame, I cut the Easter Bunny in white.  I coloured the bunny's ears, cheeks and carrot with markers.  I added some Fluffy Stuff to his tail and heated it to make it puff.  I added a small tuft a grass below him and cut some Lillies of the Valley and added them behind the bunny.  I cut the signpost from the Easter Bunny set and traced the words on the sign with a fine tipped black pen.  I added grass and some eggs to the base of the sign.  I cut the Hoppy Hoppy Easter in raspberry card and glued it to the top corner of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hip Hip Hooray

Good Sunday morning all!  I got another quick and easy card to share today.  I selected a piece of Pixied card from my stash to use as the background.  The card was created using Midnight Blue Pixie Powders.  I used the largest Balloon and the outer decorative die from the Birthday Balloons die set to cut an aperture in the background.  I added mounting foam to the back then embossed a piece of white card using the Balloons Embossing Folder and attached it behind the aperture.  I cut the Hip Hip Hooray sentiment in both white and black card.   I shadowed the sentiment then glued it to the bottom left side.  I cut a balloon tail in black from the Dotty Balloons die and added it to the Balloon.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Thanks A Bunch

Hello crafters!  Here is a quick and easy Easter card for you today.  I started by cutting three of the "Chip" the Chick die set out of custard card.  I cut the eggs in dotty papers from the Dots 'N Stripes Paper Pad.  I added all the shells then used small pieces of yellow feather glued to the chick's wings.  I cut a strip of white card, matted it with black and yellow then attached it to the left side of a piece of white card.  I cut the Thanks A Bunch sentiment in black and glued it to the right side of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 1/4"   in size.  All for now, Sue x

For My Friend

Hello crafters!  I started this card by selecting a piece of custard card.  I embossed it using the Rose Bed embossing folder.  I used spray glue over the entire piece then sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on it.  I cut a frame using the Clipped Corner Rectangles in white.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and attached a piece of custrad card.  I seated the frame in the centre of the card.  Using the Layered Daisies, I cut several flowers out of two shades of white card (coconut and bright white)and cut the leaves and stems out of two shades of green card.  I added yellow centres to all the flowers then assembled the flowers and glued them into the frame.  I cut the For My Friend sentiment in black and glued it beneath the frames daisies.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7" x   9"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Decorative Scalloped Border

Hello bloggers!  Welcome to the final post of the March Blog Launch.  This post is dedicated to showing off the decorative Scalloped Border.   This set has six dies in it so you can use parts of the border by themselves or you can put all of the pieces together and cut out the entire border.  You can also cut it into the card as I have done here or you can completely cut it out and  back it with another colour if desired.  It has a real wow to it so it is a great border to use with the Stampcuts too.  However you use it, I know you will just love the results!  Don't forget to leave a comment on this post (as well as all the previous posts) and check back on the morning of Tuesday, March 28th to see if you are a winner!  I hope that you have enjoyed the preview as much as I have!  All for now, Sue x

Noble Looped Ovals

Hello crafters!  The next die that I'd like to present to you is the Noble Looped Ovals.  I really love the looped edged dies so I just had to have a set of oval looped dies.  These are perfect for making a frame with a really pretty addition of the looped edges.  This die set also works well with the Noble Stitched Ovals so you can get even more use out of them both.   If this set is singing to you, then leave a comment on this post so your name will be entered into the drawing to possibly win the collection.  This is the final post for today, but there is one more die set to be showcased tomorrow morning starting at 6am.  All for now, Sue x

Noble Decorative Squared Rectangles

Hi bloggers!  We are now moving on to the other dies in the release.  This post is dedicated to showing the Noble Decorative Squared Rectangles.  You saw these in the last post using three dies together.  Now here they are showing a single decorative border and another chance to see those beautiful Magnolias too!   This die set will definitely be a real go-to for your cards and projects.  I love how they make a pretty frame just by cutting into the card, don't you!  If you have your eye on this set, just leave a comment on this post, it may just be the one that is drawn out as the winner!  The last post of the day will be along at 6pm.  All for now, Sue x

Periwinkle Stampcuts

Hello crafters!  The next die that is on offer is the Periwinkle Stampcuts.  While Periwinkles are usually seen in blues or pinks in nature, I think you can use any number of colours for this die cut.  You only need to remember when using these dies to stamp with a type of ink that will work with your colouring method.  I used a waterbased black ink to ink the dies with, then coloured them with alcohol ink pens.  If you use an ink that is the same base as the colouring method, (such as water based or alcohol ink based) it will erase your stamped line image.  Leave a comment if you want to have a chance to win this collection.  The next post is at 3pm.  All for now, Sue x

Magnolia Stampcuts

Hello there my crafty friends!  Welcome to the second day of the March die release blog launch.  We are starting out with the Magnolia Stampcuts.  Shown here you can see on this sample that the Magnolia branch is really pretty.  It looks amazing in other colours as well.  I love that it has a pretty curved look to it so it works really well with circles and ovals to hug the edges.  If this one is calling to you, then you just need to leave a comment on this post to be entered into the drawing to win this collection.  I will return at noon today with the next post.  I hope you will be able to come back by then!  All for now, Sue x

Tiger Lily Stampcuts

Hello bloggers!  How about these beautiful Tiger Lilies!  These come in a variety of colours in real life so you will see my samples in different colours as well.  I have even coloured one sample to look like Rubrum Lilies, which is one of my all time favourite flowers!  I like that these give you that bit of ability to make them look so different too.  If you are a Lily fan as I am, just leave a comment on this post and your name will be included in the drawing to win the entire collection!  Day one is complete but we do still have another full day and a bit more coming your way.  I shall return at 6am to start the second day of this launch.  All for now, Sue x

Petunia Stampcuts

Hello there my crafty friends!  The next die that we are showcasing is the Petunia Stampcuts.  This is another flower that looks gorgeous coloured in any shade.  These flowers are very easy to colour too as the shading is already on the dies so you just need to colour those areas a bit deeper to bring out all the details.  I think these will really put a smile on any recipients face, don't you?  Let me know what you think in your comments, I would love to know.  We have one final post for today and that will be on the blog today at 6pm.  Please pop back by to have a peek if you are able!  ll for now, Sue x
