A good egg...

I have been looking at this stamp set for a while now, but only just purchased it in the week before Easter. It is so cute.
I had seen a similar card made, using the coloured cardboard strips and just had to case it. Of course, I can no longer find where I cased it from!! Sorry! If this looks familiar to you, please let me know!

I have stamped the spots from the Good Egg stamp set onto the coloured card using Versmark. The DSP is from the Sweet Stitches pack. I have used a retired Melon Mambo Polka Dot Ribbon, with the Itty Bitty stamp/punch/button sets. The tags were made with the jewellery punch and I have added a little touch of rhinestone bling!

I also decorated the inside of the card as well:

Materials:
(All SU unless otherwise stated)
Stamp sets: A Good Egg, Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Itty Bitty Bits
Cardstock/ DSP: Marina Mist,  Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Regal Rose, Orchard Opulence (retired), Certainly Celery, Sweet Stitches DSP

Easter Toppers

Hi there! Sorry it has been a while between posts! Some of you may have wondered where I had gone? I had a fab 4 days away with hubby......no kids! It was sooooo quiet! I had intended to schedule some posts before I left, but that didn't happen!

Today I have some bag toppers I made for Easter. Once again I had started with good intentions, I was going to make these for everyone, and once again it didn't happen. These were the only three I made and everyone else got chocolate bunnies! I did make some cards though to go with them. Most of which I have shared, but I still have one to post.

 

I used the owl punch to make more 'Owl Bunnies'.  I made a little blue boy one and a little pink girl one. I used the top note as the topper.

I also used the Top Note to make a bunny topper as well.

 

Here they are all together.

Materials:
(All SU unless otherwise stated)
Stamp sets:
Cardstock/ DSP: Marina Mist, Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz
Inks:
Markers:
Accessories: Top Note Die, Big Shot, Owl punch, Heart punch, Tafetta Ribbon, Brad, Lattice Embossing Folder

Easter Owl

I saw this owl over at KB Papercraft and just had to make it! Just too cute, isn't it? This lady is so clever. The things she does with those owls!

I am going to enter this card into the A La Card Monkey Challenge, and the So Shelli Challenge.

Here is my version of the Easter Owl. I didn't have all of the punches that Kerry used, so I improvised.

I am thinking of using these owls as toppers for skinny bags of Easter eggs. Just depends how many I get made between now and then!

Here are some close ups to show the details.

Inlaid Embossing Detail

I must say that when I first saw the inlaid embossing technique, I wondered what all the fuss was about. It wasn't until I saw this post by Sarah Klass that I knew I could make it work for me and I just had to try it!
