Build A Bunny

 Hello!  Today I have a card that has been rattling around in my head.  This little bunny is standing next to my kind of plant - a succulent.  They are about the only plants that survive in my house. 

For the background on this card, I used a piece of Lawn Fawn's patterned paper called Fairy Godmother.  I use Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink with the Brick Stencil.  

The plants and two of the pots are from the Planrt A Succulent.  The tall planter on the right is from the Little Flowers Die Set.  I used the Harvest Crate Die Set to hold on of the plants.

I used Copic markers to color in the plants and the containers in the following colors:

·       YG41, YG61, YG63, YG67

·       G85

·       BG53

·       YR02, YR21, YR23

The bunny is from the Build A Bunny Die Set and his little overalls, are from the Build A Bunny
Add On Die Set.

The sentiment is the Scripty Hello Die.  I used the same Fairy Godmother  paper that I did for the background.  

This card didn't turn out like I had pictured it in my head, but that's all right.  Maybe next time, I will use colored cardstock for the planters and the plants.  Hmm.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope that you have a great day!

Honey Bee Stamps Large Dog

 Hello friends!  Today I am up on the Scrapbook Pal blog, @scrapbookpal, sharing this great pet card created with a few of the new products from Honey Bee’s Pet-tastic Collection.  This card would be perfect as a thank you for a pet sitter. 

The background of this card was created by stamping most of the stamps from the Tail Waggers stamp collection.  I did this by placing the stamps in my Mini Misti Stamping Tool by Sweet Petunia.

I inked my stamps using Lawn Fawn Clear Embossing Ink.  Once I had the desired impression, I sprinkled on Wow! Super Fine Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it.  To add a little extra sparkle, I spritzed it with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Spritz.  Using the  Lawn Fawn’s Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables, I cut the created backdrop to 5.25” x 4.0”. 

To make the dog, I used the Lovely Layers: Large Dog die set.  I used multiple colors of cardstock to cut out the individual pieces to create the dog. 

The is a downloadable chart on the Honey Bee website to help you place the layers in the correct order. I always find it very helpful the first time a put one together.  I used Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue to glue everything together.  Isn’t he just the most handsome boi???

To finish up my card, I used the Pet-tastic clear stamps and Pet-tastic dies to stamp and cut out my sentiment.  Once everything is assembled, I glued the completed piece to a 5.5” x 4.25” piece of cardstock to make a nice outside border and then will adhere it to a card base.

I am just crazy about all the fun pets in this collection and I am sure that I will be make all kinds of great cards with “all the things”. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope you have found some inspiration from this post.

You Are Sew Amazing!

 Hello!  Today I have a card that I am entering in Lawn Fawn's Challenge 194 - Critters and Crafts.

I am planning on starting a quilt this week, so I thought that maybe my little friends would like to show off one that they made.  They are such a talented crew don't you think?

I made the little hanging quilt with the square and flower die from the Platform Pop Up Die.  My pieced squares are just a square cut corner to corned then then the quarter pieces are glued on top of a solid square.  It's hard to see in the picture, but I glued the quilt pieces on to a Stitched Scalloped Square Frame.  The paper that I used is from the Bitsy Blooms - Petite Paper Pack.

I glued my finished quilt to a background made with a piece of white cardstock cut with the Quilted Backdrop backed with a green  piece of cardstock cut to the same size.  I added a piece of woodgrain cardstock to the bottom to created the floor.

To finish the outside edge of the card, I cut the frame using the Stitched Rectangle Frame Die.  

The little mice and the sentiment are from the Sew Very Mice stamp and die collection.  They are colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

• BG10, BG11, BG13
• C1, C3, C5
• RV11, R83
• E53, E55
• E31, E33, E35
• R20, R22

I thought it would be fun to add some little thought bubbles, so I used the All The Speech Bubbles Stamp and Die set and one "thought" from the Simply Celebrate Critters Add On.  

This was actually a pretty quick card to make and it would be perfect for a sewing pal.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!!

Caught A Bug?

 

Hello!  When I saw this  Alphabet Soup Die from Trinity Stamps, it reminded me of how I used to try to make words in my alphabet soup when I was a kid.  For this card, I have words that describe how or what you might feel like when you catch a bug.  

I wanted to make this card look like a place setting at the same time using the Circle Shaped Card Die Set.  I glued the circle card in the center of a 4.25" x 5.5" card base cut from woodgrain cardstock.  

I inked my placemat using the Checkered Background Stencil with Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide Ink.  I cut that down to 3.75" x 5.0".  The woodgrain cardstock that I glued it to, was touched up on the edges with Vintage Oxide Distress Oxide Ink to enhance the woodgrain.  I die cut the fork and spoon from a matte silver metallic cardstock using the dies included in the Alphabet Soup Die.

The "soup" in the bowl, was sprayed with YR07 and R08 COPIC markers using my COPIC airbrush system.  I used the die to cut out my words and glued them along with the peas and carrots in my soup.  

To give my bowl a little bit more dimension, I used a circle die from the Clean Cut Layers - Circles Set A, to cut out the inside of the bowl piece that has embossed edges.  Then I glued the embossed edges piece to a light gray circle cut from the Clean Cut Layers set.  Once I had my bowl of soup constructed, I glued it to a Circle Shaped Card Base cut from red cardstock.  I used the Clean Cut Layers set to cut out a white cardstock circle for the inside of the card. 

 

The sentiment on both the front and inside using the Healing Wishes Stamp and Die Set.  

This was a fun card to make and I hope it inspires you to create of your own.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you stay well!
