Christmas & Easter?

Happy Saturday! I have one more entry (3rd of 3 max) for the March Christmas Kickstart Challenge. Jo & elf Arlene (a sister Die Cut Diva) are doing non-traditional Christmas colors (no red, green, or gold). I leaned into the purples again!

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card;

Neenah white; scrap of purple; vellum;

Spellbinders Betterpress Porcelain

Stamps w/dies - My Favorite Things BB Holiday Penguins

(retired at MFT but HERE at Frantic Stamper; dies HERE)

Press plate w/die - Spellbinders Poinsettia Corner

Embossing Folder - Honey Bee Snowflakes 3D

Other - Recollections gems; foam tape

I embossed vellum with the snowflake patterned. A smaller purple panel was adhered behind it & onto a pale lilac card. I had a leftover stamped penguin from 2024 Christmas projects so I colored him with purple accessories. A pressed sentiment and gems finished the card.

I'll add my card to Darnell's 2nd week of March IDEAS linky - D is for dies. Both the penguin and sentiment were die cut with their coordinating dies - love those!!

I played at Craft Roulette #258 last night and finished a card during the show again! Host Mary Gunn FUNN had Maymay Helm (Maymay Made It Crafts) as her guest. Maymay is a self-described Georgia peach who has YouTubed papercrafts for 15 years. She also recently started a channel for her sewing which she considers a hobby; papercrafting being more of a job. Here's my card:

Supplies: Paper - Neenah white; 

Lawn Fawn Spring Perfectly Plaid

Digi - Angie Blom Digital Designs

Sending Love Bunny (Easter) 

Stamps - Your Next Stamp Hey Chickie (retired)

Dies - AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - various pencils

Can you guess what the wheel spun?

• Project - Card for Someone Special: I made an Easter card for my sister.
• Colors - Fruit: I used yellow/orange/blue/red/purple for the obvious fruits & avocado green.
• Element - Critters: I started w/a digi bunny image, then added two stamped chicks.
• Random - Use Pencil: I colored all images with pencils.

During the With Love event, I became of fan of Angie Blom's designs. She offered a discount to her digi shop so I selected several files. I especially loved her new bunnies. I printed out a full sheet containing 4 A2 panels. Die cut one with a stitched rectangle & colored with Copics. As I'm coloring, I hear the host mention that the chat pointed to the plural on critters. I hurriedly stamped a couple of chicks, then fussy cut and colored them too. Assembled on an A2 card covered with plaid, a fave of Maymay.

I hadn't colored with pencils in ages & was in a hurry to get my card on the LIVE. I liked how it turned out, though. The other three images will be covered with Copics!

That's it for today, friends - I'm off to color more panels between loads of laundry... Thanks for visiting and happy crafting!!
