Easter in Lock down!

Usually I have family round for feasting at Easter time, 
but this year we all celebrated in our own homes.
It just meant the Easter Bunny needed to enrol the Post man!


Anyone who knows me, will know I struggle enormously to make more than one card that I design, so this helped me to get over this issue ;-)

Stamp set: Wildly Happy
Ink: Stazon On Saddle Brown, Balmy Blue and Sponge Brayer, 
water colour pencils and blender pens
Card stock: Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, 
retired Gingham DSP
Accessories: Word Wishes Dies, retired grass die ;-)

As you can see I'm hoarding SU retired stock,
keep on crafting, GenGen xxxx

Social distanced Celebrations

As always with Sale-A-Bration
 there are stamp sets that jump out as soon as I see them, 
and who can resist meercats?

It seemed mean to put the Meercats 2 metres away,
as we couldn't gather together for our usual celebrations.


Stamp set: The Gang's All Meer, Perennial Birthday
Ink: Staz On Saddle brown, watercolour pencil and blender pen, Pacific Point and Bermuda Bay
Card stock: Pacific Point, retired DSP, Whisper White

Keep on crafting in your virtual gang,
GenGen xxxx

Thank You Thursday!

Just as Clapping for Carers comes to a close,
I thought I would share the sign I  have in my window.


I simply used rainbow card stock with the Stitched Stars Dies, and Rainbow Glimmer Paper for the Thank You Die.

As well as the NHS, living in a rural community, my thanks go to the Post Office workers, Posties, Delivery men & women, Shops workers and my neighbours.

Stay safe, GenGen xxxx

Birch Bark Birthday

Sometimes I struggle with cards for males, 
but always love to opportunity for a background stamp 
with a less is more approach to card making ;-)


So this is Birch Background stamp, printed with Staz On Saddle Brown, with a retired Happy die in Copper foil and Birthday stamped in Copper, and a smattering of copper stars!

Keep on card making in the crisis,
GenGen xxxx
