Happy Spring!

Dia daoibh!

Shopping for chocolate Easter eggs has become less of a casual stroll and more of a tactical operation. You head in for “just one” and suddenly you are comparing chocolate like a seasoned judge on a baking show. This year though, I have my eye firmly on a Toblerone egg. Pure class. Triangles  egg of joy. 

Now, onto my card!

I went full spring cheer with this one and kept it lovely and CAS. The SVG design is my own. I cut everything with my trusty Silhouette Cameo, who continues to behave like a dream as long as I whisper kind words to it and threaten it only slightly. Some of the elements are popped up with foam pads to give a bit of dimension. For embellishments, I added some iridescent glitter for that subtle sparkle that catches the light just right, along with a few white Nuvo enamel dots scattered about like they just wandered in and decided to stay. 

And that is it. A quick, cheerful make that did not involve glitter explosions or losing my sanity, which frankly deserves its own celebration.

A few challenges:

Right-e-o, I need to go “accidentally” buy three Easter eggs… for research purposes.

Spidey’s Got Moves

Dia daoibh!

You know those random Halloween die cuts that linger on the craft table long after the sweets are gone and the decorations are packed away? Well, I finally tackled mine. Among them was this wee spidey, one of a few Spellbinders die cuts I received as a gift, and he’d been staring at me accusingly for weeks. I paired him with a Spellbinders stamp sentiment, and it turned out both cute and slightly creepy at the same time.

The spider is layered and attached to a wobbler so it actually wobbles when you touch it. Pretty cute but strangely unsettling, like something you’d expect to see skitter past your feet at 2 a.m. The sentiment is stamped with StazOn, and I added a touch of glitter and a few Nuvo enamel drops for sparkle and texture. Bold stripes, cheeky spider, mission accomplished. This is officially the last Halloween card for the stash until next year, or so I tell myself.

A few challenges: 

And on a funny note, I left the finished card on the table, and my son nearly dropped his tea when the spider started wobbling. He jumped, shouted, and declared I was never to leave “moving insects” lying around again. I’ve never been prouder of my crafting skills.
