Easter Chicks

It never ceases to amaze me how versatile the two-step bird punch is........it makes it far more affordable for any item if you can use it for a multitude of different applications. I made these a few weeks ago ready for the Easter rush, so I did use a now retired Sale-a-bration set in the background, but I am sure you could use any one of a multitude of different stamps to create a lovely background effect.

I do love that single stamp All A Flutter - looks lovely done in multiple colours, I only stuck one wing down to give it more dimension.

Sweet Summer Cards

Well there is only two weeks left of Sale-a-bration and the Summer mini catalogue! I love earning stamps for free and during Sale-a-bration a lot of people have been able to do just that, if you would like to do the same, contact me now! I've been playing with the Sweet Summer set and got inspired by Jenny M. and came up with these:

The central flower head was stamped again on scrap Whisper White card stock and then popped up on Dimensionals, as were all three of the flower panels. Paper piercing along the bottom added some detail and some Basic Pearls added some class to this card - and the bees well they are just cute!

This one was very similar to the above card except the bottom pink paper piece was put through a crimper to add some texture, the bird was stamped, coloured and cut (I know what was I thinking?). All the pieces were coloured with Water Colour Pencils which were perfect for getting into the small leaf and petal spaces.
