This month's Craft Kit is Easter/Spring themed and you can make a lovely little gift set.

The Easter basket is so easy to put together and there are many elements to decorate it.  I used die cuts from the Kit together with the sentiment which I cut out from one of the papers in the 8"x8" paper pad from the Kit.  I filled my basket with chocolate as they were what I had in the house but of course to make it a true Easter basket you could add Easter eggs!

For my second creation I decided to make a card using the cute stamp set and adding die cuts and papers from the Kit to embellish.

I hope to see you again soon,

Hello Spring! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

After a good few weeks following the storms we finally got our fences repaired/replaced.  It was worth the wait and the garden looks so much better.  However, it'll mean I need to do some pruning at some point soon so the fence is seen more!

This Sunday sees the official first day of Spring so I thought why not make a challenge of it and I did!  The Daring Cardmakers would like to see anything Spring related on your cards this week.

I picked on the newly released Bunnies & Blooms Die Set by Tonic Studios and decided to use the dies in non traditional ways.  The card fits perfectly into an A7 sized envelope.  This is important to me as although I make my own envelopes it's so much easier using a ready made one!

In my mind I had a floral meadow with bunnies hopping through it so that's what I created!  I really loved making the card and added Nuvo Drops for a little sparkle.

You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE and I do hope you'll join in.

You may find me in the garden this weekend but only if the sun is out!

See you next week,

Mad March Hare - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Have you missed me?!  Even though I only missed a week of blogging it feels like forever.......I've had a lot of work on and many miles of travel so it's been a bit tiring.

Joanne has set the challenge this week for the Daring Cardmakers and has chosen the Mad March Hare as her title.  She'd like to see a rabbit or a hare on your creation or even some form of hair would do........  There is a lot of inspiration from my fellow DT members HERE.

I've gone down the cute route using a Darice cut and emboss die for the rabbit.   In fact all the dies are Darice and the 'Celebrate' has been cut out of gold glitter card.  The heart aperture that I turned into a balloon by drawing the string has been filled with a bead mix.

I think the embossing really gives the rabbit definition on the ears and back, don't you?  A simple shaker creation but it's a definite favourite of mine.

I have a Sunday off before another Trimcraft demo next week which I am very much looking forward to.

See you again on Tuesday!
