Happy Easter Hope

Hello Everyone,

Happy Easter! For me, this is the season of hope and I felt this card was perfect for the year we've all had. Borrowing from our Provincial Health Office, Dr Bonnie Henry, "Be kind, be calm and be safe."

I started with a card base from Pool Party Cardstock. I then trimmed scraps of Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Mango Melody Cardstocks into various widths and lengths. Cut a piece of white copy paper to 4" x 5 1/4". Place it on your Silicone Sheet and cover it with a thin layer of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Lay your strips down and push them up against each other at an angle, from the centre. It's okay for the ends of the strips to hang over. We'll trim them off later. 

Once the glue on end bits is dry, put it in the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and run it through your Cut & Emboss Machine. Using your Paper Snips or Paper Trimmer, cut off the bits that are hanging over the edges. 

Stamp you image, from Beautiful Moments, in Black Memento Ink and colour it with your Blends. I used Old Olive, Pool Party, Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight Blends. Cut it out with the large oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies. (This must have die set is retiring May 3rd.😢)

With a retired Glimmer Paper, I used the Playful Alphabet Dies to spell out HOPE. You could substitute this with one of the lovely new specialty papers. Tip: Cut out a small piece of paper for your HOPE and attach a same sized piece of Adhesive Sheets and then run it through your Cut & Emboss Machine. 

For embellishments, I wrapped a piece of ribbon around the card front and taped it around the back. To add a little extra, I used a very old wooden embellishment over the oval. It's fun mixing the old and the new. 

I've ordered copies of the New Annual Catalogue and then should be here in another week and a half. Message me to reserve your copy. They will be available for pick in the Greater Victoria Area. For my out of town clients, not to worry, I'll send them in the mail. 

On orders under 200, please use the current host code, found under the image of the catalogue (to the right of this post.) If your order is around the 100 mark, consider becoming a member of the fabulous card sisterhood!
