This is a card I made for April Card Club and I wanted to share it with you. This uses just the dies from the Wisteria Wishes bundle. I love the purples and greens together. They make me think of Spring.

I’ve inked the edges of all the elements in this card. This adds shadow, giving depth and dimension to each die cut. It only takes a minute to do this but it really makes a difference to the finished project.

Measurements

  • Gorgeous Grape Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half

How to Make an Easter Bunny Gatefold Card

I absolutely love this card. It’s so cute. I don’t normally make Easter cards but I can’t seem to stay away from this Easter Bunny stamp set with its matching punch.

The colours here are bright and remind me of Spring. The bunny this time is grey where as before I left him white. All the colouring was done with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. My Smoky Slate is running low but it has lasted quite a number of years. I’m going to try and refill it with reinker and rubbing alcohol. If I’m successful I’ll let you know.

Normally I don’t decorate my inserts but I have done with one. It really lifts the card and takes it to the next level. I think I will try harder to decorate my inserts in the future.

I made a card using the matching stamp set and loved it. I decided to use just the dies this time in the same colourway and am so pleased with how it came out.

The die set from Two Tone Flora not only has dies to cut out the matching stamp set but also this extra die that cuts out a full card front design. I think it’s so pretty with the Orchid Oasis designer series paper behind it.

Hearts can definitely be used all here around. I think they are great for birthday cards as I’ve done here. This is actually a card we made in my virtual card club. You can join in the next one here.

My favourite die in the Framed Florets dies set is this one that cuts out an oval of little hearts. It’s so cute. Next time I want to try it with vellum over patterned paper.

I love the cute little bunny on this Easter basket. This basket is actually just an open box with a handle. I did use a scallop die around the edge on my first sample but I just didn’t like the look. It would be better to use an edge punch. I used a retired one on my second sample.

I haven’t a clue where I got the easter eggs for this basket. You should never eat the chocolates and sweets that live in my craft room as they have all been there for years. i use them time and time again for my projects.

I was thinking of RAKs when I made this card. When I first got into crafting I had no idea what a RAK was. Then I found out it means “Random Act of Kindness”. So sweet!! I have some goodies this year for a few RAKs and giveaways. Stay tuned to my blog and Facebook group for all the information.

The colouring on this card was super quick using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I love how easy they are to blend and they also give me great results.

This is a card design I’ve used many a time. Little critters always look cute popping through a window in a card. I’ve linked the two windows with the flying balloon.

The creatures are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. They are one of my favourite colouring items. I’ve used the crumb cake one so much that I will have to buy a new one soon. It’s lasted a number of years though so that is good.

As I can write this in Lincoln the wind is blowing its guts out. I was thinking of any little birds and thinking the poor mites would be blown away if they weren’t careful.

This card has a lovely spring feel to it. Baby birds are one of the quintessential marks of spring as are new fresh green leaves. This card combines both of these.

Funnily enough, I’ve used the punch that goes with the Petal Park stamp set more than the actual stamp set. I love punches and I hoard them. There is a huge collection in my retired drawers. I wanted to use the stamp set though and this is the card I came up with.

The leaves are actually the same stamp, once stamped the right way up and then again upside down. At first, the two areas of foliage looked very weird even after I added the flowers. The sentiment between the two foliage elements brought the card together.

Two-step stamping sets are great as they allow you to add dimension and depth so easily to your stamped images. I love them as they allow me to get a more realistic image when stamping. The Two Tone Flora set is great for this. The images are gorgeous and make me long for summer and lots of flowers.
