Touch of Whimsy

Hello! I have had these cute bunny stamps for years and never used them! They are called 'Touch of Whimsy' from Penny Black. I paper-pieced the daisy and bunnies with snippets, so my card is off to Di, Dudley and Parsnip at Pixie's Snippets Playground.

I was inspired by this sketch over at Sunday Stamps

I really must get around to using all the stamps in this set. There is a great bunny with really long ears holding an umbrella that I've got my eye on! :-)

Happy crafting! April x



More Reindeer!

 

 

Hello! Unfortunately I am resembling Coughing Bob Fleming at the moment and am not up for much. I did feel inspired by the snippet-busting paper piecing video from Stampin' Up to make this reindeer card. Sticking strips of card down to make a background is about all I am able to manage at the moment between mammoth coughing fits! The reindeer were already hanging around from a previous project so they got stuck down too!

 

My reindeer are prancing off to see Di and Parsnip at Pixie's Snippets Playground as I know how much Parsnip enjoys a reindeer ride! They are also off to the Global Design Project colour challenge.

 

Happy crafting! April x

 

 



52 CCT Technique Challenge

 

 

Happy Easter! Our challenge over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week is a technique one:

 

 



I have to say this is one of my all time favourite techniques. I have used a Hunkydory stamp (Rudolph's Sleigh) with patterned papers from My Mind's Eye. The sentiment is from SU's Oh What Fun stamped in Calypso Coral and I have sponged the edges with Sahara Sand and added some Brights sequins.

I hope you will have a look at the DT's gorgeous paper-pieced cards and post your own festive creations! April x

Little Red Robin

Here is a little red robin to add to my recent nature haul. He is chirruping his way to Cards in Envy - When Nature Calls challenge. He's also keeping an eye on the camel and the fish in the fab and lovely playground at Pixie's Snippets Playground. I'd also like to enter him in the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge which is a CAS one and Papertake Weekly - In the Garden (always a robin or two in my garden!) I promise no more creatures! My SU pre-order has now arrived and I will be excitedly prepping for my catalogue launch workshop on 5th June.

Little Red Robin is a lovely Woodware stamp. I have used paper-piecing - a scrap of floral paper that came with a magazine and patterned paper from Lilybee Design (Destination Atlas).  I have added enamel dots for the holly berries. He is a cute little chap, I think! April x
