TWO CARDS FOR EASTER

EASTER BUNNY CARD

Sharon and Maz have been having fun making these cute Easter cards, using Regal card bases, some hole punched and cutr shapes and a bit of  imagination.  Notice, for instance how the bunny's nose is made from an upside down heart.

Don't be afraid to draw in details such as facial features, and use materials creatively - the bunny's basket, for example is a piece of trimmed burlap ribbon.

Raid the craft supplies for embellishments - paper flowers, rhinestones, buttons, twine etc.  Most of all have fun!!

EASTER CHICKEN CARD

SCALLOP EDGE BIRTHDAY CARD WITH FLOWERS

SCALLOP EDGE CARD WITH BIRD AND FLOWER

Janet has combined papers from Kaiser's Chanteuse collection, with Regal's scallop-edge cards (SCE1) to make this beautiful card.   Janet has used a white base, but the cards are also available in ivory.

Subtle inking enhances the various elements, and embellishments - small rhinestones and paper flowers have been carefully placed to enhance the printed design.

Its a little hard to see in the picture, but Janet has coloured a greeting sticker with a permanant marker that matches the pinks of the paper and attached it to a pale green background.  More decorative paper adorns the middle of the card.

This would be a lovely design for a special birthday or even a wedding.

SWEET BIRTHDAY CARD

HAVE A SWEET BIRTHDAY

How cute is this cheerful card that Tania made, using Regal's XSQS2 lime green card as a base.
She's added a punched border, matted pictures fussy cut from Kaiser papers, and a greeting made with black alphabet stickers.

I often forget that when just the right greeting sticker is not available that alphabet's are always at hand.  You can even use permanent markers to colour them however you want!

SUPER QUICK NOTE CARD

SUPER QUICK NOTE CARD

Lynne made this true 5 minute card from one of Regal's black single fold cards and some scrapbooking paper from Graphic 45.

Just because its a quick card, though, doesn't mean that good design goes astray, and the way Lynne has arranged the elements in the 1/3 - 2/3 ratio means that this card really works.

It could be used for many occasions, including as a notecard - just to drop a quick line to a friend for no particular occasion (email's great but you can't sit them on a shelf).  If you wanted to make a set of cards as a gift, a simple design such as this would be perfect.
