Creative Circle Blog Hop ~ Easter or Eggstraordinary

The theme for this month is ‘Easter or Eggstraordinary’. There are a couple of new products in the 2018 Spring / Summer Occasions Catalogue which would be great for this hop like You’re Inspiring, Hello Easter and Hold on to Hope stamp set with the co-ordinating Cross of Hope Framelits Dies

You’Re Inspiring Clear-Mount Stamp Set [145808]

Hello Easter Photopolymer Stamp Set [145783]

Hold On To Hope Clear-Mount Stamp Set [145780]

Hold On To Hope Wood-Mount Bundle [145969]

We don’t have any of these and I contemplated on making something out of what I designed for our ScanNCut. I decided against it in the end and to keep it Stampin’ Up! I looked into our craft stash to come up with alternative stamp sets to use

The leaves from Painted Harvest were stamped in Tranquil Tide in a mixture of different generations to create depth. Once done, I stamped ‘Easter’ using the Brushwork Alphabet and adhered the topper on the cardbase

The iridescent glimmer paper from Myths & Magic pack was die cut with 3 designs from the Flourish Thinlits set. I also used the Leaf Punch on Vellum and Linen Thread to place under the flowers

I may have gone overboard with the Gold Glitter Flakes for this card but it’s so shiny, I just love it!

Finally, the ‘Happy’ banner is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments ‘Happy Easter’ and Classic Label Punch

These treats are 3 for £1 from Tesco and you can make 3 Easter chocolate holders from 1 A4 cardstock. They fit perfectly in the treat holder and don’t they look even cuter?!
