A Bit More Time to Craft - April 15th Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are you all doing? What was Easter like for you? It looks like I will be spending my birthday (9th May)  in lockdown. Oh well there are worse things.

The new challenge starts at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is always Anything Goes.

This is the last Easter card I will share with you. I didn't make many this year events overtook me.

I used the Day Star papers to make this card. 

Our challenge are always fun and there are lovely digi papers to win. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

The sunburst die came free with a magazine. The tulip die is from Crafter's Companion and the flowerpot is a Spellbinders die. 

This is a Creative Expressions die. I do like to mix up the dies I am using. 

This is the drawing that our daughter made for our little family at Easter. It features me and my hubby, our Daughter and Son-in-law, his parents and the bunnies. It was so lovely to receive this digitally. I have printed a copy and it is in our lounge. 

I did make two versions of this card using different colours of the Day Star papers.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge #72 - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a good week. Invigilating is finished for the time being. Unfortunately I could do the last day as I had a sickness bug. I still don't feel quite right. We are supposed to be visiting family on Sunday I will have to see how I am.

Who can believe that it is February already? Time for the new challenge at the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog the theme is Anything Goes and the sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps.

The backing paper was in my stash. 

There are so many wonderful images in the store. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

The image I used is called Thank You Tulip Block and it is available HERE. I chose this image because you need thank you cards after Christmas. 

The Tulips are beautiful. I printed the image onto a background I made on the computer. I coloured the Tulips with Promarkers. The blue of the background was pale enough to be covered with colour. 

I got the Tulip die with the previous year's Crafter's Companion Advent calendar. The flower pot is a Spellbinders die.

Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) - That Spring Feeling

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I have been fairly busy. Today is a busy day on my blog. Even though I am only on four design teams now it just so happens that two of them start challenges today.

First up is the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) challenge blog and the new theme is "That Spring Feeling". Just in time for your Easter makes.

I made a square card with a similar design and I wondered if you could extend the design and make it less cluttered. This way there is more room for the sentiment. I used the sun burst die again. I kept the centre in place and the leaves of the tulips wouldn't have shown up if I had removed it. 

Why not join in with our challenge. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

The tulip die is from Crafter's Companion and the flower pot is a Spellbinders die. 

This sentiment is a Creative Expressions die it came in a set with a bunny and some flowers. 

This is our Magnolia tree. It did look particularity good this in spite of  the efforts of storm Gareth. We get two weeks of glorious blooms and then a lot of clearing up. It does mean Spring to us. 

Here are the different coloured cards I made with the same design. . It will be time to start sending them out soon. Easter is very late this year. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Beautiful Tulips Easter Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a good week. The weekend is nearly here. We are away in Suffolk for my Uncle's 85th birthday celebration that will be on Saturday. Today we are visiting friends who have moved this way last year.

I have made a few Easter cards and I am sharing one of the first ones I made today. I am sat in our hotel room writing this post this is a first for me. My husband is watching Pointless it is very distracting.

I love yellow and green on spring themed Easter cards. The patterned paper was in my stash, 

I have had the background die for a while and I have not used it until now. I must say enjoyed using it. The tulip die came with the Crafter's Companion advent calendar last year. The flower pot is a Spellbinders die. Happy Easter was cut with a Creative Expressions die. 

I have made a few other Easter cards I will be sharing these later on.

Easter Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. We saw our daughter yesterday we had a nice meal and we did make the bouquet I have just got to do the finishing touches. That is something else ticked off the list. The bridesmaid's bouquets are finished too.

I have made a few more Easter cards. In fact four of this design. I think I have enough now. Not many people send Easter cards anymore I like to though it is my favourite holiday.

I ordered some of the new colours of Centura Pearl card from Crafter's Companion. I used the Pistachio green on this card. The yellow is some other card from my stash, 

I stamped the Blessed Easter stamp from Stampin Up onto watercolour card with Watering Can Archival ink. Then I coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. I made the frame with dies from the Innsbruck set from the Austrian collection from Creative Expressions. 

I was going to  use some lace and then I spotted my Gemini Carina die. 

Enjoy the last evening of the weekend. 

I would like to enter challenge 196 at 613 Avenue Create Challenge blog , the April Challenge at the Penny Black and More Challenge blog  , weeks 275 and 276 at Pixie's Snippets Playground , the April Challenge at the Crafty Calendar Challenge blog and challenge 70 at the Dies R Us challenge blog. 

Happy Crafting
