Happy Holidays, Winter Bunny!

Happy Holidays? I know it's only September, but I've been getting an early start on ideas for a friend's cards. I wanted this one to be a more general winter card. First I used all of my white and kraft cardstock remnants to paper piece a burst. I paired it with some DCWV patterned paper and die cut/replaced a Copic colored circle. The way all the pieces fit together makes me feel like I put together a puzzle..with no reference picture!

Winter bunny was Copic colored, fussy cut, and popped up on foam adhesive. I imagine the rain dot stickers to be snow flying through the air as Winter Bunny rushes through - yes, an abstract representation of snow.

To balance out the dimension, I popped up a layered tag sentiment saturated with Versamark ink to create subtle contrast from the background.

I'm posting this one for Lawnscaping Challenge #65 again! My favorite supplies used here are Lawn Fawn, Cutter Bee scissors, Copics, and kraft accents. Lawn Fawn critters are actually what gave me the final push to start stamping and also Copic coloring, so they're important to me!

Have A Nice Day

 I had a lot of ideas for this card, but it was one that just kept morphing in the process..I knew I wanted to mask off the hexagons to underline a sentiment, but had a hard time finding one to fit. I ended up using the tiny sentiment from the My Favorite Things Vanity License Plate set. I also wanted to incorporate one of my only embossing folders as a coordinating background. 

Here you can see the embossing better. I popped the sentiment up on a layer of Dear Lizzy patterned paper and some super thin foam Adhesive to keep it CAS.

I've been slowly trying to learn how to embellish my cards..I finally found a place for one of my decorative brads from My Mind's Eye! The colors went perfectly with the ribbon and patterned paper.

My card was based on this sketch, as part of the CAS(E) this sketch challenge #44!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Here is a card I created as a custom order for my Etsy Shop! I wanted to make something cute for a fall baby birthday. The Lawn Fawn critters were colored with Copics and cut out with their coordinating dies. The banner was heat embossed and freehand cut. The clouds were made with a stencil I cut from cardstock.

Since this card is going to be hand delivered, I popped up each layer with some foam adhesive for extra dimension. The grass and critters were layered and pieced onto partially die cut white cardstock for extra stability.

What's inside? To truly personalize this card, I stamped the baby's named inside on a banner with a souffle pen filled heart. I'm quite pleased with how this card turned out - I hope baby and family appreciate it too!

Since some of my favorite supplies are Lawn Fawn, baker's twine, and my Cutter Bee scissors, I'm entering this into Lawnscaping Challenge #65 - These are a Few of my Favorite Things!
