Hippity Hop

 It's finally Spring (at least on the calendar) the tulip and daffodils are growing and if we could just have more sun and it a little warmer they will be blooming by Easter.  It is amazing how fast two weeks flies by it seemed like I just posted a card for Shopping Our Stash and it's time for a new challenge so for this fortnight we want to see and Easter card or a card featuring a rabbit or a chick. I'm sure you have a couple in your stash, I know I have a few. Since we shop our stash I went back to March 2022 Crop and Create virtual crop and dug out the Hero Arts class which I hadn't done, everything I used was in the package, Stamp set. stencil and all cardstock enough to make 3 different cards.

 

Now I don't often stencil but I followed the instructions except I added the purple base (I just don't like one layer cards) I coloured and fussy cut the flower and bunny, Happy Easter is from a retired SU set. 

Closet look at the bunny and flowers 

The horizontal easel card folds flat for mailing, because of the added cardstock it didn't want to fold flat for the photoshoot.

  Stay tuned for more projects from March 2022 Crop & Create.

Thanks for stopping by and check out the great projects the rest of the Design Team have made.

M is for Masculine

 Hello friends and followers, it's been a terrible start to 2025 I managed to catch a bug that was going around and I was down with a bronchial virus for 8 weeks, I have not kept up with my design team duties. on the up side I lost 10 pounds, now I need to build up my strenth. 

The new challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is M is for  Masculine and it  came at the right time as I needed a card for my youngest son's birthday on March 31st, I don't worry about him seeing it before that day he doesn't have any social media. 

Of course I had to bring out the snarky cats, I pondered which to use and planned on a B&W card until I found out I had no shiny black cardstock so used the holographic paper pad I picked up at Dollarama eons ago. I love how the big birthday die cut stands out. I finished it with some tiny black pearls from the Eyelet Outlet that I had in my stash.

Side view which shows I popped the snarky cat up and the die cut is layered 3 black and the holographic die cut on top.

Finished the inside with a scrap of holographic paper and a sentiment. (sorry no snark today)

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to head over and see the really great masculine cards the rest of the team have made. (now they have snark)
