Easter Egg Plushies

Hello there and happy Good Friday. Today I have something slightly different to share. Yesterday I shared using the SSS Easter Egg die for a shaker, today I am sharing the die used to make felt plushies.
 
 
I started off by cutting the egg shape twice from felt and then another piece to use at the bottom. These were stitched together and before closing it up, I added soft toy filling.
 

I then took the leaves from the same die set and stitched these separately. I also used the Memory Box Plush Flower Buttons and stitched these also, as well as the Plush Little Heart (on one of the eggs). These were then added to the eggs using a hot glue gun.

I think these are so pretty and I am really looking forward to making more for other occasions. It was very therapeutic sitting and stitching them. I hope the recipients like them! Thank you so much for visiting me today, wishing you all a very happy Easter.

Easter Blessings Shaker

Hello there, I bought the SSS Plush Easter Egg die to use with felt but I also thought it would be great to use as a full shaker card.
 

I started off by cutting the egg three times, once using white cardstock (for the back panel), once with a piece of patterned paper and once using a sheet of acetate. The three pieces were stitched together using floss and before I went all the way around, I added in some Sweet Easter Sparkly Shaker Mix from Lucy's Little Things - so cute!
 
 
I stamped the daffodils from the Clearly Besotted You Are Wonderful set on to some white cardstock. These were coloured using Copic Markers and then fussy cut. This was added to the shaker front using clear foam tape. The sentiment, from the Clearly Besotted Many Mini messages set, was stamped on more cardstock and cut out. This was added on top of the daffodils.

I have to say, I really enjoyed making this card. It was a little more effort with all of the hand stitching but I think it was worth it and I hope the recipient likes it! Thank you so much for visiting me today, I hope you have a lovely day!

The Chick & The Bunny Wobble

Hello there, I am back today to share the Easter card I have made for my mum. I saw this super cute Stamping Bella stamp and couldn't resist it.
 

I started off by taking a SSS Stitched Rectangle die and cutting this using white cardstock. I then stamped the image on to this using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The image was then coloured in using Copic Markers.

 
I took an A2 white card base and ran this through my Cuttlebug using the PTI Guide Lines Grid Embossing Plate. The stamped panel was then added on top using foam tape. To finish off, I added Wink of Stella to the flower, as well as Glossy Accents to the centre of the flower and the chick's beak.

VIDEO | Simon Says Stamp Haul #11

Hello there, before I get into today's post, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone that left me a comment/message on my last post, as well as on Facebook and IG. I am hoping to be back creating again soon, but in the mean time, I have a Simon Says Stamp haul to share with you.
 
 
The main reason for making the order was to get hold of one of the adorable plush dies that are so popular at the moment. I am really looking forward to getting my felt out and having a play! Of course, I also added a few other bits to my order that I wanted. Here is a look at everything I got:
