Swinging Chick Easter Card

Hello crafty friends ...

Just before Easter I posted a card made with this fun 'On a Hinge' Easter Chick set and I knew I wanted to make one more before I put the stamps away until next year. Looking at the card now though, I think it would make a fun Birthday Card if the Chick was wearing a Party Hat so I might be getting those stamps back out again!

This is a larger card, and the fun bracket cut apart from Doodlebug fit perfectly inside. I added a stamp from the same set as the chick and decorated the envelope as well.

This is going into the bin for next Easter, but I didn't want to hang onto the photos for another year so am sharing it now.

Egg In Chick Swing Card for Easter

Hello crafty friends ...

I have had this fun Easter stamp set for months but honestly forgot about it! When I saw it in my stash recently, I wanted to use it for one more Easter Card and this is what I came up with. I created a Slimline card base and used bright & cheerful striped rainbow patterned paper.

Remember you can always see my interactive card videos HERE on YouTube.

I already had a card for Ethan, but I know he is going to get a big kick out of this one so I'm saving the other one for next year.

I will have used up almost all of my Easter Cards this year, so I think I will have a play with this stamp set again and get a jump on next years cards.

Two Interactive Spring Cards

Hello crafty friends ...

Today I'm sharing TWO interactive cards with TWO videos! The first one is a 'swing' card, and the second is a 'pull tab' - both are for the two grandkids who celebrate Passover.

Remember you can always see my interactive card videos HERE on YouTube. The second video today is grouped with the card below this one.

Using the i-crafter Haley Alphabet die set, I personalized the card front with his name, and used a puffy cloud die for the greenery at the top. The inside is fairly simple, with some inked clouds and lettering that he will likely be able to read himself this year.

I think he will enjoy moving the swinging boy to the right ...

... and to the left by tilting the card.  I don't have a stamp with this phrase and my printer is out of ink, so I used a label maker to create the 'swinging by to wish you' greeting.

Now for Miss Alma's card. Once again I personalized it with an i-crafter alphabet die set - this one is the new Carly Alpha. I like that it comes with both capital AND small letters, as well as symbols and numbers. Plus, the font is pretty cute.

I am SUCH a huge fan of Doodlebug Designs. I picked a couple of their 'odds and sods' printed elements for both cards, and on Alma's card the frog moves out from behind the daffodils when you slide the tab.

As usual,, the eyes all got a shiny treatment with a black glaze pen. And I added white details with a gel pen too.

Finally, here is the inside of Alma's card.
