Hoppy Easter!

This Springtime Bunny is one of Lawn Fawn’s paper piecing sets. She was built on their double sided adhesive sheets with paper scraps from my stash. I love paper piecing-it reminds me of jigsaw puzzles, and it’s a great way to use up scraps. The eggs are in the same set, and I mounted them using foam squares on a hill cut from Lawn Fawn’s Flower Market paper with a sky from their Spiffy Speckles paper. The sentiment is from their Hoppy Easter set stamped in their Grape Soda ink.

A tisket, a tasket

 

This card combines stenciling with paper piecing to convey the season without words. I stenciled the sky using Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass and Lawn Fawn’s Cloudy stencil, then trimmed it with Lawn Fawn’s largest Stitched Rectangle.I then inked a panel with Distress Ink in Evergreen Bough and trimmed it with the largest Stitched Rectangle and a Grassy Hillside Border. The basket is also by Lawn Fawn, their Eggcellent Easter Basket. I cut the outline from white and filled it in with the different colors. The large eggs are the Mini Egg set by Waffle Flower.

Looking at spring

 

Even though the official start of spring is over a month away, we’ve had spring-like temperatures here in North Texas-today it got up to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. So I thought this spring window from Honey Bee Stamps would “bee” just the thing.

Hopefully, that's over...

 I've really been off my card making game recently. I've had back problems, then I had COVID, then we had an ice storm that stranded me at my daughter's house for a week. I need to get back to crafting, for my own mental health. I made a set of four Valentine's Day cards for my family. I stenciled four different color combinations using the same stencil and then paper pieced them using the CZ Designs Heart Panes cover plate die from Simon Says Stamp. The "love you" is also a CZ Design from Simon. I cut the frame and shadow layer from Simon's matte silver cardstock. The red paper is from my stash. The interior of the card has "Happy Valentine's Day" stamped below a row of hearts.

Paper pieced pumpkins

 This is from the Lawn Fawn fall/winter release. The pumpkins and wagon are done with their red/orange canvas card stock and black licorice outline using their adhesive sheets to hold the pieces in place. I used Watercolor Wishes paper for the sky and grass, which was cut with the Grassy Hillside border and a  Small Stitched Rectangle. I then cut a Large Stitched Rectangle from some Fall Fling paper and mounted the smaller rectangle using foam tape. The sentiment is from Simply Celebrate Fall.
