A Patchwork Egg & Star 66

Hi there! It rained pretty much all day Sunday here in Phoenix so we spent the day at home just relaxing. Well, I spent some time working on a few crafty projects :) It seems as though a lot of my readers liked the Patchwork Star card and were interested in how I made it so I made a few other patchwork cards and put together a tutorial to share :)

First up, is an Easter card featuring a Patchwork Egg:

This patchwork egg is showcased on beautiful Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology Collection patterned paper. For sketch inspiration, I played along with the Cleans & Simple #128 sketch challenge:

and for color inspiration, I referred to this week's CR84FN16 pastel palette:

Can you see the shimmer from the glitter on the egg?

Next up is another New Baby card: this one a bit more girly: (Click HERE if you would like to see the "boy" version)

I referred to this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #35 for sketch inspiration:

Here's the Patchwork Tutorial:
Step 1: Stamp various sizes and patterned Easter Eggs from Nestie Eggs stamp set.

Step 2: Use a S4-126 Classic Squares LG die template to cut/emboss squares:

Step 3: Position and adhere squares in desired pattern using a piece of grid/graphic/lined paper for guidance.

Step 4: Position and secure die template in place using a few pieces of tape on outer edges then cut/emboss using die cut machine.

Hope you give it a try! Would love to see what you create :) Thanks so much for looking! Be Sweet :)
