Hoppy Easter!!

So I FINALLY got a chance to play with the Mama Elephant Honey Bunny stamp set – and I’m in love!  They are so cute aren’t they?  I created some tags to go with the Easter gifts I made this year for all the children in the family – all 14 of them!!!  I bought some cone treat bags and filled them with orange Millions and some other sweeties and then tied them with scraps of green ribbon.  I also made a card with the bunnies and some dies from Taylored Expressions – the picket fence die, the grass border the cloud dies and flower box dies.  Don’t they all go together perfectly?

I don’t usually show so many photos of a project but got a bit carried away with this one!!  Also, there is a challenge going on over at the Mama Elephant blog at the moment with a cool graphic for inspiration:  I thought the pale blue, green and yellow shades reminded me of the colours in the picture.

Clearly Besotted April Challenge

Well Spring has well and truly sprung here in my little corner of the world and everywhere I turn I’m seeing beautiful blossoms, tulips and daffs!!!  It’s all very uplifting and makes me feel HAPPPEEEEEE!!!  So what better theme for the April Challenge at Clearly Besotted than SPRING!! The latest release from Clearly Besotted is chock full of fabulous Spring-like stamps and dies but even if you haven’t managed to pick anything new up this month, Steph has TONS of sets in her inventory that would be perfect for this challenge.

April Challenge - Spring

So how’s this for some Springtime inspiration?  I used the new Pretty Petals Plus stamp set – SUCH a versatile little set – and stamped it using Avery Elle pigment inks in Mimosa and Fizz.  I added a wee bit of extra detail with a Copic to the flower centres too.  The Fabulous Friend sentiment is from one of my favourite CBS sets, Say It In Style.

Make sure you check out Steph’s blog, Stamping and Sharing for all the deets of the challenge (theres a great prize up for grabs as always!) and for lots more inspiration from the amazing DT.

Thanks for stopping by. xxx

A trio of cards!

Good evening – popping in to share three little cards I whipped up to send to three special friends!  If you squint you can just make out some groovy matching envelopes made using my newest gadget – the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board – LOVE!  The cards are dinky so I didn’t have any envelopes to go with them – what a cool and clever thing it is!!Design a tree

I used one of the new stamp sets from Clearly Besotted – Design A Tree with some patterned paper from Papertrey Ink.  I am loving the new Avery Elle pigment inks too – love how they clean off the stamps so well too!!

Well, it’s WAY past my bed time now – thanks for stopping by xxx.
