Happy Easter #2

As promised I am back with the easter card I sent to my Nana last week. I think this card is called a sidestep card, however I didn't have any instructions I just adapted the double stair step card until it looked the way I wanted it to.

As I still had the tea party paper out on my desk from my previous card, I decided to use that for this card also. I started off stamping the egg from the good egg stamp set onto the green dsp and cut them out and put them together and played around with the various colour combinations until I found one I liked. This is the result.

I had the chicken sitting on a plain white background but found that was too stark, so I ended up using a sponge and sponged pretty in pink ink all over the background. I wasn't extremely happy with the left hand side of the card but I couldn't work out what else to do, and as it had to be mailed to New Zealand, I decided to just send it as it was. A good decision as Nana absolutely loved it.

This is a picture of the side of the card.

I have some new winter mini catalogue projects to share with you next time.

Keep on creating.

Happy Easter

A good eggCan you believe it is Easter already? I'm not really sure where the first three months of this year have gone. I have an easter card to share with you today. It is a CASE from one I saw on the extremely talented Jenny Moors' blog a couple of months back. It was just so stunning I knew I had to make one to send to my parents.

It is a double stair step card, which looks very complicated, but I was surprised at how easy it was to make. It uses the good egg stamp set and tea party designer series paper. I put my own mark on it by using the mat pack to pierce holes around the block that has the eggs on it and then did some faux stitching with my white gel pen.

Here is a picture of the side of the card. It has an extra strip of cardstock added to the back "step" so the eggs can sit on it.


If you would like instructions on how to make this card, or a double stair step card, please email and I will be more than happy to share them.

I have another easter card to show you tomorrow, this time the one I sent to my Nana.

Keep on creating.
