Just Us Girls #817 ~ Easter Blessings

 

Hey there, it's time for another Just Us Girls challenge. This is DIE WEEK and Sue has picked Easter/Spring for you. We also have a new guest designer for the month of April. Welcome to the super sweet Rosemary Dennis! 

Busy busy is my name lately, so I went with a CAS card today. I used two dies. Lets take a look...

I know I use this IO egg every year, but it's just too cute not too. I mean just look at those sweet blooms and that polka dot ribbon! My pretty little PPP tag die frames it perfectly. I popped it onto a gingham panel cut with a Spellbinders Hemstitch die. A simple sentiment and it was good to go!

I think I'll link this up over at Inkspirational. They're looking for CAS cards with the optional twist of E as in Easter, Egg and hey... how about Elton!!

Wishing you all a blessed Easter!

hope this makes you smile

I've been a busy bee and haven't had much crafting time. I actually made this card weeks ago and never posted it. It fits in with this week's challenge over at The Paper Players. Take a look...

I used some fun layered flower dies and stamps from The Stamp Market. The flowers were cut from both cardstock and patterned paper from my stash. A simple embossed background was all it needed. This works for the diagonal line: die cut, flowers and layers. 

There you go, I hope it makes you smile.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit!

Hey there! I'm hosting STENCIL WEEK at Just Us Girls. Anything goes, my friends, you just pick a stencil and get crafty! 

I picked up a fun Dotted Lines stencil set from PTI not long ago. You know me and polka dots! I used Harvest Gold, Pale Peony and Ocean Tides inks to create my stenciled background. I die cut the panel with a MFT Wonky Rectangles die, then popped it onto the card base. My fave little birthday bunny was added along with a sentiment; both from Colorado Craft Company.

The team has loads of inspiration for you and we do hope you'll join us this week!

I have a fun easel card over on the Poppystamps blog today! Pop over to see what I did with this cute little birdhouse. While you're there you can see how I covered my die cutting mishap. Did you spot that missing corner?

Hi, friends! Are you ready for a new challenge at Just Us Girls? Carol has a fun vibrant photo for us this week. I had so many ideas, but had to go with a more simple card since my time is quite limited just now. I'm still on the fence about it, but the hubs really liked it! Take a look...

I knew my cute Nordic Pretty Petal Flower by Poppystamps would work perfectly. Two aqua cardstocks were used and I popped it onto a shimmery gray panel cut with a SSS cover plate. My favorite hugs sentiment from Impression Obsession provided me with a sentiment. A trio of tiny blooms from the same Poppystamps die set were added to pull the pinks together. 

Okay, my friends, it's your turn now. How does Carol's fun photo inspire you? Need more inspiration? Head over to the JUGs blog to see the marvelous makes the team has to share!

I think I'll link this one up at The Paper Players for the CAS Floral challenge!
