Fantasy Stampers - In the Springtime

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are having a great weekend. It is Easter Sunday tomorrow it has come round so fast this year. Today is the day of the wedding. We will be setting off soon. All the things I made were dropped off yesterday. I am taking a little repair kit with me just in case, you never know what might happen.

The new challenge starts today on the Fantasy Stampers Challenge Blog and the theme is In the Spring Time.

This is one of the cards that I sent to John Lockwood for him to have for his shows on Hochanda on 20th and 21st March. I sent him five cards and a tag. You could see them at the back of the set and one of the cards and the tag were shown properly. 

I used the Primrose Elements and the Primrose Hearts Everyday Sentiments stamp sets designed by John Lockwood for Creative Expressions. The background was created with a resist technique. 

I used the Sue Wilson Heart of Hearts die to create the mat for the beautiful heart. I do love Primroses that is why I was drawn to these stamps. 

I did enjoy seeing my cards on Hocanda. I need to thank John Lockwood for this wonderful opportunity.  The stamps are lovely to work with. 

If you check back on the Fantasy Stampers Challenge Blog tomorrow the winners of the last challenge will be announced.

Happy Easter

Hugs Jackie

Primrose Cards on Hochanda

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? We are now well into the run up to Easter but it all seems a bit early to me. The Wedding I have made all the things for is on Easter Saturday. When it is all over I will blog my makes and I will try to get a picture of the happy couple to share with you. We are dropping everything off on Friday before the wedding on Saturday.

I bought my self some of John Lockwood's latest release of stamps. I love Primroses and I went for the Primrose Element stamps and the Primrose Hearts Everyday Sentiment sets. I am friends with John on Facebook and we have met a few times in person. I sent John a message saying I had bought the stamps and he asked to see what I made with them. So I did and he asked to borrow them for his shows on Hochanda starting on 20th March for a one day special.

This is what I sent in I must admit that the stamps were very nice to work with. 

This is my tag being shown by Alex Turchyn. 

In the background of this photo you can see my cards on the shelf at the back they are all yellow and green I am a bit of a traditionalist. 

This is my card being shown by Hayley West. I was watching this on Catch-up. 

Here is a close up on the tag. Some of the other items will be blogged properly as I am going to use them for Design Team pieces. 

John has promised to send all the samples back. I have really enjoyed this experience and I would happily do it all again. 

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Happy Crafting
