Easter Eggstravaganza!

Hi everyone 😊

Hope you are well, im still on my easter theme, and was excited to receive in the post yesterday some easter egg dies from the marianne collections and was eager to have a play! 😀

I had some lovely designer series paper from Stampin Up and my favourite lavender cardstock i decided would go well together. I used the intricate die from the collection and the largest of the plain nesting dies, i used the intricate die on the designer paper and the plain largest one for the lavender cardstock, before i used it i put some double sided stick sheet adhesive on the back of both pieces of designer series paper and the cardstock, when you have an intricate design on a die there isnt a lot of cardstock or paper left after cutting to put sticky tape or even liquid glue on easily and makes it a lot harder to stick to you project 😒 so if you put the adhesive sheet on first and then die cut it , it makes it easier to stick to afterwards 😤 but you may be better running it through your big shot or whatever machine you have a couple of times just to make sure the die has cut all the way through the cardstock and the adhesive sheet, it just makes it easier to take the backing and get the die cut pieces out afterwards 😏

I got my favourite tool out then which is my long reach ribbon hole punch which is punched in the botton of the cardstock and then i thread my ribbon through which is very easy to do, i used a contrasting gold ribbon to go with the designer series paper which was cream and gold. 

I had some sticky ribbon which had a lovely tulip design on it 🌷which was exactly the same colour as the lavender cardstock which i stuck down the sides of the card mat layer and then taking my Stampin Up Hello Easter stamp set i stamped the sentiment in lavender 💜

What do you think , i think it looks lovely, and i love the colour combination, my favourite colour combo by far. Hope you have a great day, take care and happy crafting

love nessie 💚x
