Hey Little Magpie project catch-up – April

Well, it’s a new month and I am determined to get back on track with behind the scenes organizing, etc.

So first up, time to share my April card projects for Hey Little Magpie – the full details can be found here.

So on with the card projects!

Card | Basic Grey Hillside Collection

Paper, ephemera, tag: Basic Grey – Hillside
Stamp: Avery Elle

Card | Basic Grey Hillside Collection

I loved how the banner tag in the Hillside tags pack was the perfect size for what is often too big a greeting for my regular cards. Nice to use that Avery Elle sentiment stamp again!

Once again the sheet of journaling cards in this collection provides some nice backgrounds and accents for cardmaking. I used a circle die to really make the words of the black journaling card pop.

I used another of the journaling cards here as a backdrop for my sentiments. The heart tag also made a handy little balloon accent. 🙂

For this card I took the little bird from the Saturday Morning ephemera pack and combined it with some feathers from the Hillside foliage die-cuts. It wasn’t until after I photographed the card that I realised those feathers looked like a big tail on the bird!

Oh well, it still looks appropriate. 😉

And finally for this card I used a sentiment border die twinned with some contrasting papers from the collection and a one of the bright vellum leaves held in place with a little glue under the button. 😉
