Kids cards

When I was at the beauty parlour the other week, my therapist was saying she has 13 nieces and nephews and was always looking for kids cards so I told her I'd make some.  Over the long weekend I got a few done...

 This one used some MFT Snuggle Bunnies and WPlus9 balloons.

The next two were inspired by Pinterest.  Used punched circles for my caterpillar and die cut circles for my birds. 

 Next is another MFT bunnies and the WPlus9 balloon

And my  final card uses MFT dragons

 I enjoyed making these cards and if she likes them, I do her some more.

Thanks for stopping by.

Bunnies for Easter

Easter is coming up quickly and I needed to get my Easter card for Archie into the post ASAP. 

I chose to use a digi stamp from Di's Digis.  It is adorable...

I used my Prismacolor pencils to colour the image and cut it out with my ScanNCut.  I made the fur on the bunny using the technique I learnt at Kit and Clowder.  

My second bunny card uses a digi stamp by From my Heart ( I can no longer find this company on the internet).  I picked up this digi about 2 years ago.  

  I printed the image out onto some cartridge paper and used my pencils to colour.

I am entering this into the challenge at Creative With Stamps.  I've already entered the first one there. 

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate your visits.

Baby Bunnies

One of my work colleagues is going to a be a Grandma soon, so I decided to make a card for her daughter.  The baby is going to a boy so some blues and greys.

I CASE'd a design from Lucy Abrams that I saw in a papercraft magazine.

I stamped the really cute Bunny from Hero Arts Baby Animals stamp and die set onto some MME pale grey spotted PP and die cut them out.  The die cut and matching sentiments are from Hero Arts Congrats stamp and die set.

Bunnies and Hydrangeas.

Yesterday I managed to start a couple of cards that I finished off this afternoon.... (came home early - things got a bit stressful at work... more about that later in the week)

First off I won Boris the Bunny from Jane's Doodles on Squiigglefly.  He is really sweet and just right for Easter.  I love these digital stamps as you can print them out whatever size you want very quickly.  I decided to do something little...

 Isn't he cute!!!!  I coloured him in (not that you can see the white) and added Kindyglitz over his nose and ears.  I added a bit of glossy accents to the flowers.  The whole card is 3.75 inches square.  Just a perfect little Easter card.

Next I inked up another new Hero Arts stamp - The Hydrangea.  It is a delightful stamp, so easy to colour.  I choose purple for my flower - although the ones still flowering in my garden are pinks.... but I love the deep purple/blue ones the best.

I used watercolour pencils and a Tombow clear blending pen to colour in the flower. I used the biggest of my Label 1 nesties to cut the flower out and sponge some Momento Sweet Plum ink round the edge.  I then traced round the outside of the nestie to cut out the matting.  Added the sentiment in the plum ink. I found some bigger cream cards in my stash and cut one down to 4 3/4 inches square.  I love how this turned out.  I'll be making some more of this one in different colours - I'm even going to try Nancy's trompe-l’oeil technique using this stamp.

Thanks for stopping by.. hope you week goes well..... Take care
