Kinetic Easter Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you had a good weekend. We were busy as usual. We have started looking for another car but this will take a long time it always does with us. The Bootleg Beatles concerts was amazing and we had a good time with our friends. On Sunday we visited our parents. The photo books of our daughter's wedding I ordered looked amazing and were very well received.

I think this is my last Easter make to share. I made a Kinetic card with the dies that came from Papercraft Essentials magazine. I made this to sent to my cousin who just loves Hedgehogs.

I used a cloud embossing folder for background. 

The spinner element was a cute hedgehog. The stamp came free with the magazine along with the slider dies. 

The daffodils were cut with some dies from Creative Expressions. 

Another Creative Expressions die I have used it a lot this year. 

I know my cousin liked this card she sent me a lovely message.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Kinetic Father's Day Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? We worked on the wedding invitations but they are still not finished frustratingly the design keeps changing. We were hoping to visit on Sunday but the snow put us off.  This week ahead I will be helping at two Felting Workshops as one was postponed because of the previous snow.  I do enjoy these workshops and I am learning a lot. I was thrilled with the pot I made a few weeks ago. It is a lovely fluid craft you are never quite sure how things are going to turn out.

I have been trying to get ahead with my cards again. With this in mind  I managed to get the latest issue of Papercraft Essentials Magazine. The free gift was a Kinetic Creations Spinner & Slider Stamp and die set. There were also bonus papers to download from the magazine's website.

I used a cloud embossing folder for the back layer. The scene was one of the free papers to download. 

This balloon was stamped and then coloured with Copic pens. I mentioned to our daughter that I wanted to try them and she lent me hers. Which is very kind of her. I am so used to Promarkers I think it will be hard to change. The slot was cut with a die from the set. The smaller balloons were stamped with one of the stamps from the set. The balloon doesn't slide as smoothly as it might but it was my first attempt. 

This is such a useful die I use it every year it is a Signature die. 

Like usual when I make cards ahead I just have to remember where I have hidden them when the time comes. 

I hope you have a great week. 

Happy Crafting
