TOMIC Inspiration - Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I hope you are enjoying the Easter weekend. We have made, and already eaten several, Easter nest cakes here and are looking forward to this morning's egg hunt! You may have already seen today's project if you tuned into Magnolia's debut on Hochanda TV where my lovely team mate Becky created live on the show. I'm sharing it today on the TOMIC blog. I saved a pretty yellow egg box ready for decorating as an Easter gift - these are a great idea to give small eggs in.

I had to get an Easter bunny on here, of course, so I chose the sweet Tilda with Little Bunny from the Sunbeam Collection and painted her with Distress Inks as always. I added Stardust Stickles to her head band and the frills on her pockets. I also used the cute Sunlight stamp in the background.

To add some extra interest to the image I stamped her face and the bunny's tail twice so that I could decoupage the image.

I used the bird Doohickey from Vintage Box 5 and the recipe card from the Recipe Card Collection to cut out the image.

The sentiment is also from the Sunbeam collection and I've used the feather Doohickeys and flower spray Doohickey from Vintage Box 5 too. The daffodils were created using the Daffodil Doohickey and stamens from my stash. I made the little eggs from air drying clay before painting with white acrylic paint, inking with chalk ink and adding the speckles with a Distress Ink marker.

I added the same embellishments at the other side of the egg box.

I made a belly band for the egg box and edged it with lace Doohickey from Vintage Box 3, cut several times. It makes such a pretty edge!

I hope you like it and thanks for looking! Have a wonderful Easter!

Craft Heaven DT - Happy Easter

Good morning! I have an Easter card to share with you today using the gorgeous Tilda With Little Chickens from last year's Sunbeam Collection. I've teamed her with one of my favourite papers from Maja Design's Denim Collection.

I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique and added white dots to her cheeks and eyes using a white gel pen.

I have used the Daffodil Doohickey and Foamiran to make the Daffodils. Before assembling I inked the centres of the flowers with Scattered Straw Distress Ink. I've also added some blue roses to add a pop of colour. The fence was cut with the Lovely Fence Doohickey and the lace is from Craft Heaven.

I've used the banner Doohickey from Volume 9 and the Happy Easter sentiment is from Magnolia too. The cute clouds were cut with a die from Doohickey Volume 4.

I hope you like it and I've inspired you to make your own Easter cards. Pop over to the Craft Heaven blog to see some more inspiration from the Design Team. Thanks for looking!

Spring Shadow Box Card

Good evening! I'm a little late blogging my All About Magnolia post today as it was back to work after the Easter holiday (sad face). This month over at All About Magnolia Challenge our theme is 'All About Spring'. A perfect excuse to use the super sweet Tilda With Little Chickens from the Sunbeam Collection.

I have made a shadow box card of Tilda standing underneath the Cherry Blossoms. I love the sight of Cherry Blossom in the spring, I have one in my garden and it always cheers me up to see it! I spent a very long time die cutting the tiny little lilac flowers from the Lilac Doohickey from last year's Summer Collection to create the blossom on the trees and all of the fallen blossom on the floor. I have a photo of my daughter dressed from head to toe in pink, standing in a wood of pink Azalea that is above her and on the floor: this was the inspiration for this scene.

I filled the rest of the card with things that come to mind for me when I think of spring. Primroses using some Prima flowers of the correct shade, umbrellas using the Umbrella Doohickey and some birds using a die from Vintage Box 5.

The leaf sprigs were also cut with a die from Vintage Box 5 and I added a few blossoms to them with the Lilac die. The papers are all by Maja Design.

Another sweet bird and a few b

here is the whole blog hop list:

Here's my creation for the hop...

I have used Tilda with Little Chickens to make an Easter card and an Easter bonnet treat box.

I've painted Tilda with Distress Inks using the no lines technique. I also used some stamps from Vintage Box 3, the eggs, feathers, calendar and '20' stamps.

The papers are all by Maja Design from their Denim & Friends collection. I stamped the butterfly section of the calendar onto coffee filter paper too.

I have painted the eggs and feathers with Distress Inks too.

To give the feathers a more realistic appearance I have stamped them onto coffee filter paper.

Now for the Easter bonnet. The top of the bonnet is a polystyrene hemisphere which I have covered with hessian. A fresh coloured ribbon from my stash, a Doohickey tag and some daffodils I have made from Foamiran complete it.
