About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Easter Chicks

Easter isn't a time of year that I make many cards. Usually just the two for my nieces, as something to put their Easter money in. This year, I have used Spring Friends - Little Tweets from Hunkydory's Design Collection Box #13.

I used the two printed/patterned pieces of card to make the bases. I used my Top Score and scored the first one on the Gatefold A4 line, then turned the card completely round, before doing the same on the other side. For the Z-fold/Fold-back card, I scored on the Gatefold A4 line and the half fold A4 line. 

  

For the gatefold, I used the circle topper, and added a scalloped circle cut from Core'dinations card. For the inside, I covered the centre section with the co-ordinating paper, and used Crafter's Companion Inverted Stitched Lacy Circles, and Spellbinders Circle dies to create a place to write a message.

  

For the fold-back card, I used the oval topper and added a plain oval cut from Core'dinations card. On the inside, I used Spellbinders Ovals, and Crafter's Companion Inverted Stitched Lacy Ovals to create a place to write a message.

  

The rest of the kit from the box magazine has gone into my stash - to be be used at a later date!

Happy crafting,
Cxxxx
