HOP HOP HOPPY EASTER

Hello everyone,

  No sooner have we recovered from Christmas & school holidays, and Easter is just around the corner. What will you all be doing to celebrate with your family? We will be lucky enough to have my husband's parents visit for a week or so.  Our kids love having them visit us, as they only get to see them once or twice a year, so you can imagine how excited they are at the thought of them coming!!  We will also be spending our Good Friday supporting the Royal Children's Hospital here in Melbourne, by attending the Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt at the Werribee Mansion.  This is always an awesome day, supporting a fantastic cause.   So I'm here today to share with you, two Easter cards I've made.   The first card is a Magnolia stamp, that I've coloured with Copic Markers. I've stamped on Blending Card, with Memento Ink. The roses are Molossi paper roses (white), and I've coloured this with Copic Markers also, to match the image.  The base cardstock is Violet & Lavender, and embellished with Flourish with A Bling Silver Rhinestones "Elise".  

 

 

 

The second card is also a Magnolia stamp, again coloured with Copic Markers.  I've stamped on Blending Card with Memento Ink.

 

The paper roses have again been coloured with Copic Markers to match the papers.  The punched edge is a Martha Stewart punch, and the ribbon & patterned papers (on the card above), are from my scrap stash.

The butterfly is an embossed foil sticker from Molossi, and I've raised the image using Paper Xtra 3D foam dot adhesives. 
Don't forget Molossi also have all your adhesive needs, likeXPress It Tape and 450 Glue.

 

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you all have a beautiful Easter

Special Times

SPECIAL TIMES

Hello everyone,   It's been a great couple of days here for crafting, the sun is hiding, and I'm here to share with you my latest card.  

I've made this card using Kaisercraft's Base Coat range, which I love working with.  This card could be used for any number of occasions.

The base of the card is made from brown cardstock, and cut into a fancy fold card.  This was fun to make, and very easy.

I've embellished the card using Flourish with A Bling, Green Tara Paper String and Butterfly Critters.

I've also highlighted the bricks in the paper, by cutting out individual bricks, distressing the edges, and foam mounting them on the front of the card.

The star of this card is the gorgeous flower from Manorhouse

that I have highlighted the centre with "Ice Blue" Stickles, and the sentiment is a Paper Xtra rub-on.

Thanks for stopping by,

Molossi DT - Kaisercraft's Base Coat

KAISERCRAFT - BASE COAT

 
Hi, today I'm sharing a card I've made from Kaisercraft's "Base Coat" collection, showing you that you can make a card from just one piece of paper.  

The base of the card is brown cardstock, and the remainder of the card is made from Kaisercraft's Base Coat "Whitewash".  I've used both sides of the paper, and layered the card, distressing the edges.  This paper is so versatile, and makes great male cards, that I sometimes struggle with.   The paper string is from Green Tara, and Flourish With A Bling is Pewter "Grace".   The metal flower and leaf is from my stash, and suited the paper perfectly.   Thanks for stopping by, Honor xo
