Hello everyone and welcome to “Art with Heart's” second Team Blog Hop. The Art with Heart team, lead by the very talented Claire Daly consists of over 80 demonstrators across
The Art with Heart Team Blog Hop is a monthly event happening on the last day of every month. You can start the Hop any where along the way, just click on the link at the end of each blog to take you to the next blog and eventually you will finish up with the blog you started on. You may have just come from Judy May's blog but if this is your first stop go grab a coffee, sit back and enjoy the amazing work from some talented ladies. After ooohhhing and aahhing on each blog leave a comment, and if you have left a comment on all 14 blogs email Nikki Sadler at nikki@inkyart.com.au and your name will be put in the draw to win some beautiful blog candy (only non SU demos are eligible to win blog candy – sorry, but we would still love to read your comments), but be quick as there is a 72hr deadline from commencement of Hop.
I love trying new techniques and making cards which are a bit different, so for today's Hop I decided to give the stair step card a go. I liked this variation with the steps only on one side of the card.
Side view of card.......
Now, because I had a few extra eggs stamped and cut out, I decided to also make a couple of quick and easy gift cards.
Finally I thought you can't make Easter items without making a Easter Basket. The Basket only took me about 10minutes to make and decorate, but how long do you think the eggs will last in my house before they are eaten!!!!
I hope you have enjoyed and found inspiration from my creations. I haven't listed any instructions or products used but if you have any questions about my work or Stampin’ Up! please don’t hesitate to ask.
The next stop on the blog hop is the lovely and talented Christine Blain.
Well, that’s all from me. Enjoy the rest of the Blog Hop and please don't forget to leave a comment.
Cheers,
Erica xx
These are ALL beautiful, Erica. Your step card really looks like a garden - gorgeous!

All I can say is wow. Love the colours together. I have never attemped a stair card before but might have to try now :-)

I love everything that you made. Your first card is really stunning. I love all the different layers. Your quick and easy cards also look amazing and you wouldnt know that they didnt take long to make. I also love the colours that you used. The little basket looks similar to the basket that Di and Judy made. Is it a smaller version? I would love the template as I would like my children to make baskets for each other. Thanks for sharing your creations :)

I HAVE to try those step cards! I keep seeing them but haven't made one. You may have just inspired me!
Posted by: Nanette | February 27, 2010 at 06:02 PM
Wow, you have been busy indeed! I'm somewhere between totally inspired and rather daunted in making the step card, it looks amazing, but I'm not sure I could pull it off! The egg cards are simple but beautiful, I can't imagine anyone not liking those! Wonderful job! x

Erica, what beautiful cards and baskets, more chocolates, love them!

Oh boy you have been busy but step stair cards are my favourites and this one is perfect for Easter.

I think again this is a good example of how just changing the design of a card away from a standard square can really make a great affect!

beautiful cards!
Posted by: Bianca | February 27, 2010 at 11:20 PM
Erica, you are so clever at making cards that are that little bit different and ever so effective! LOVE your cards!!!

Erica This card is beautiful. Must get you to show me how you do that one day. If your family is anything like mine....your chocolate eggs would have disappeared right after you took the picture..........last week
