Simple shaker

 

Not the most complex card I’ve ever done, and there’s a couple of ink smears, but I love those sequins so much I couldn’t resist using them again. The Happy Easter stamp is by Waffle Flower, and I colored it in with a Crayola colored pencil. The little eggs are from Newton’s Easter Basket by Newton’s Nook and all the ink is LDRS Creative La La Lavender. The sequins are Brutus Monroe’s Spring Mix. I’ll have an announcement tomorrow about the future of this blog, so stay tuned!

Heart of Hearts

 This card combines a stencil from Brutus Monroe with a stamp from Hero Arts. I started with pink cardstock and then stenciled with a darker pink, red, and purple. I added white splatters for some texture. The text stamp is embossed with white embossing powder on a slightly darker pink cardstock and fussy cut, then popped up on foam tape. The “sending love” sentiment is white heat embossed as well, but it thankfully has a die to cut the words out.

Be Kind

Kindness was the theme of many of the cards we made over the four days of the Crop & Create Delivered Spring 2023 weekend. I especially like this one made with layering stencils and coordinating stamps from Brutus Monroe. Simon Hurley's inks give it such a pop!
 

Shake things up!

 I love to make shaker cards and I've had the idea for this one for a long time. The Lawn Fawn bunnies and eggs on the front were stamped and embossed in Ranger Fine Detail white embossing powder and then I ink blended over them. The large egg cut out is from Lawn Fawn's Outside In Easter Egg Stackables. On the inside, I stamped and white embossed again this time using the Simon Says Stamp Doodle Egg Background stamp. Then I used Altenew foam tape to put it all together and decorated the front with some Gina K. sequins. The shaker fill is Brutus Monroe's Spring sequin mix. I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire to mix it up and use products from different companies together. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Happy Easter to all who celebrate and for those that don't I hope you have a lovely weekend.
