Farmhouse Friends Zig-Zag Easter Egg Card

Hi and welcome to my blog.

I recently made a Zig-Zag Card for my latest Design Team Project for Paper Rose Studio (you can see that one at the bottom of this post). For a practice run I actually made this one featuring products from the Farmhouse Friends Collection first.


This zig-zag piece (12" in length) was cut on a diagonal from 1-1/4" in height on the left side to 4-1/4" on the far right, scored at the 4" and 8" marks along the length.


I die-cut scenes from the Farmhouse Friends Backgrounds 6x6 paper with the largest Lots of Eggs Metal Cutting Die and added the cute little embossed die-cut bunnies and eggs along both sides of the zig-zag extension.


I've made quite a few projects with these gorgeous background papers. The scenery takes me back to the English countryside where we holidayed for 2 months last year.

Farmhouse Friends Embossed Die Cuts 31974

As you can see I changed the original design quite a bit for my DT project deciding to use three different sized egg shapes so they 'nest' when the card is closed and opting to use the Pierced Rectangles Metal Cutting Dies for the card base.


Just thought I'd share the design process with you. I'm thinking that I'd like to make another card with the extension zig-zag cut on a diagonal as I love the way that one turned out too.



Thanks for stopping by,

Cozy Fall Tent Card for Paper Rose Studio

Hello paper lovers! Welcome to Bronwyn Eastley Designs .  I'm back with my second  Design Team Project  for March for  Paper Rose Studio . I  don't think I've mentioned on here that my Guest Designer 'gig' for PRS was very short lived; I submitted some projects in January and was then asked to be on the Design Team full time! I absolutely love being part of the team and it's such a privilege to be able to showcase Paper Rose's products in this way. Most of the products for today's card were already in my growing stash; I had collected them with the intention of creating this special card - It's a  Tent Card  that has a peek through window and features the beautiful  Cozy Fall Collection   of 6x6 papers and embossed die-cuts as well as the  Victorian Arched Window Metal Cutting Die . You can peek through the window to view the cosy living room scene with the comfy chair and fireplace, along with the beautiful vase of flowers and basket o...

A Gatefold Card with a Butterfly Easel and Pocket for the May Funky Folds Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the May 2025 Funky Folds Blog Hop. This is the first 'new' blog post that I've published since starting this blog, Bronwyn Eastley Designs .  My AddINKtive Designs website will be closing at the end of June as the costs are ridiculously expensive to maintain. Nowadays I give away more tutorials than I sell ... which I'm more than happy to do. I'd rather start afresh and not feel like I have to keep on selling tutorials just to keep my website going. I love being on the Design Team for Paper Rose Studio and I'll be focusing more on sharing my projects on You Tube and INSTA ... and here of course!  So today marks the beginning of a new era. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. The Funky Folds group consists of like minded paper crafters who love to make projects with fun folds. Funky actually means "modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way"... so we are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square po...
