The Accidental Crafter - using Stampin' Up! ® products

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a fabulous (possibly crafty) weekend! I managed to catch up with a good friend of mine, that I haven't seen for ages. Her daughter and my sons get on like a house on fire so it was a fun time all round. To top it off she's a fabulous cook so we were treated to a lovely home made curry - yummy!

Now normally I don't make Easter cards, but there's always a first time! I saw this card on Pinterest By Heather Summers, what caught my eye was the stitching on it - you know I love my sewing machine!! So I decided to case it. My first attempt went a bit awry and I ended up having to redo the stitching up the left hand side, but as I love the Fresh Prints DSP I had used, I didn't want to waste it. Oh what to do? Simple really - I decided to hide my mistake with a row of flowers - accidental crafting! It's not the card I intended but I actually really like it - it's what we crafters call a happy accident!! What do you think?

I also decided to make another card using the Fresh Prints DSP and the same layout. As I was deciding what to do with this second one I realised I was also actually case-ing another card by Cindy Schuster, which I had seen on Pinterest too.

I just love this colour combination of Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Crumb Cake
