Happy Easter

Happy Easter!  I hope you are enjoying a relaxing Easter weekend, spending time with family and friends, as well as taking time to remember the reason we celebrate Easter.

Here are a couple of Easter projects I made.  This card is one that I taught at a elderly community group recently.  They each got to make their own card like this.

I used the Stampin' Up Note cards & Envelopes for this card.  The card features the Eggstra Spectacular and Petite Petals stamp sets.  The group enjoyed using the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine to created the texture background.  This is a great portable embossing tool.  It will be available again when the new annual catalogue comes out in July.  

I also made an Easter basket which I saw on Keryn Campbells' blog which she learnt how to make from Frenchie's blog.  My basket, like Keryn's, is made from one piece of A4 piece of cardstock.  This basket is ideal for Easter eggs.  It may be a bit late for you to make now for this Easter, but it can also be made to hold small gifts for other occasions.

Enjoy the rest of your Easter weekend.

Take care,
Angela

Watercolour Wonder & Flower Shop "Card in a Box"

I have seen lots of "cards in a box" recently and I have been very impressed by them.  I finally got to make my own and this was one of the projects we made at my weekend class.  My "card in a box" is cased from the Tauranga Extravaganza.

The one on the right with the Summer Starfruit ribbon is one I made before the class as a sample.  The one on the left with the Tangerine Tango ribbon is the the one I made during the class to show everyone what to do. I then finished it off afterwards. These "cards in box" feature the lovely Watercolour Wonder DSP.  Here are some more photos of them.

 

The great feature about these cards is that they can even be folded flat and posted in the mail. Come back tomorrow and see another card in this style and see how it folds flat. 
 
Materials:

Stamps: Flower Shop. Label Love, Petite Petals

Ink: Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight
