Create an Easter card using the sketch CTC#266 - week 2




Something different from CASE-ing The Catty for this fortnight; we are using a sketch to create. I quite like those parameters too, so made sure I took part in the hop this week. You may have arrived from the blog of the talented Tina Gillespie in South Australia, you'll have to check out her creation if you started here.


Welcome Easter is a big favourite of mine, I've used it heaps for Easter treat boxes and also love to pair it with Tags In Bloom, a recently retired SALE-A-Bration stamp set. Did you add it to your collection?


Having sorted the images I was using, I looked for a strip of designer series paper to use, settling for Best Dressed 6" X 6" sheets. My cards use the same sheet of paper, so you see that one side has multi-coloured polka dots, while the other side is a lovely floral.

These little creatures are so nice to colour, they don't always need so much, and I've enjoyed experimenting. Stampin' Blends are my preference for colouring, but you can use watercolour pencils, or ink.



It's nice to use some of the small stamps as background on the base card.

Shall we head over to see what Siobhan has created?


We love it when you join us on our Facebook page, so use the sketch and see what you can make for Easter.


I'd love you to choose my online shop to purchase from, use the Host Code when asked at check out, & I will send you a gift, along with a handmade card. The items listed below were used in my project above, and link to that item in my online shop.

Tags In Bloom


I'm trying to get used to being confined to home, by enjoying the crafting time. How are you coping? I used Tags In Bloom to make a simple card to write a note to my late mother's school friend June, who is in her early nineties. I'm not sure how she is doing, as she lives alone and in another state, but hope that a letter will brighten her day.



I could only find my old Night of Navy ink pad, and it really needs a reinking so the ink is nearly as faint as it looks. The flowers were coloured with Blends, and usually it wouldn't be recommended to use them with this ink, Memento is the go to ink with Stampin' Blends. It did work though, and I'm happy with that. Tags In Bloom is a SALE-A-Bration stamp set, only available until March 31st, and its free with your $90 order. It has some lovely sentiments and is well worth adding to your collection.


I've also used Tags In Bloom along with Welcome Easter to decorate these Easter treats, and shared a video showing how to make this easy tag box on my Facebook Business Page. I'd be very happy if you 'like' my page and you can shop with me there, or by clicking on products in the list following my signature. Currently (24/03/2020) Stampin' Up! are still packing and shipping orders right to your door with Australia Post. I will try to share more projects over the coming weeks.
