Hoppy Days Ahead

 More bunnies from the Hoppy Days Ahead set by Simon Says Stamp. I used the papers from the March 2022 Card Kit of the Month, which is also where the stamps came from. The bunnies, flowers, and sentiment are all in the set. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and colored them with Copic markers. The background dies are from Newton's Nook Slimline Frames and Windows set. I popped the bunnies, flowers, and sentiment  up on some foam squares to give the card some dimension.

Bunny Hugs

 This card was sent to my oldest daughter in South Carolina. I told her to share the hugs with my granddaughter. The images are from the Simon Says Stamp Hoppy Days Ahead set and were colored with Copic markers and cut out with the corresponding dies. The grayish paper is also from Simon Says Stamp, while the card base was inked with Hero Arts Field Green and a blending brush.

Puns are fun!

 My family is full of very punny people, so this card will be perfect for someone's birthday. Made for Lawn Fawn's Birthday challenge, it features their Perfectly Plaid paper, Mermaid cardstock, Merman ink, and the Year Five stamp set.

Newton Loves Springtime!

 

Posting a day early because I won't be able to tomorrow. I was so honored to be chosen as a Designer's Favorite in the last Newtons's Nook Challenge #168, which was a sketch challenge. This card is for Newton's Nook's Challenge #169, which was a theme challenge and the theme is Think Spring. I chose a stamp of Newton surrounded by eggs as well as his bunny and chick friends. I used pink and polka dot paper, popped the image and sentiment up on some foam squares, and accented with some fun sequins.

Sending hugs!

This card was made for the "Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero" March challenge. The theme was "Send a Hug", and this card does just that. Whether the recipient has had a recent loss, an illness, or just a bad week, this cheery rainbow will lift their spirits. I started with a Neenah white card stock base and ink blended Distess Ink Tumbled Glass across it to give the background a sky look. I then took Hero Arts Infinity Rainbow die and cut the rainbow, sun, and clouds from some scraps of cardstock I had. I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts Remember set using Distress Oxide Broken China onto a scrap of Neenah white and trimmed it using my paper trimmer. I then rounded the corners. All the cutouts were affixed to the front of the card with Lawn Fawn liquid glue. 

I won't be posting on Thursday this week because I'll be out of town. I may squeeze in an extra post at the beginning of the week and my Sunday post may be moved to Monday. The joys of Spring Break with school age children!

Lucky to have friends (and cats)

 This card was created for the Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge #168, which was a sketch challenge and the sketch is below. I used some shamrock paper I had in my stash, a couple of shades of green paper and cardstock,  and I stamped Newton with his pot of gold in Superior black ink. I colored them with Copic markers and then fussy cut around them-one of the very few image stamps I don't have a die for. Then I stamped the sentiment and embossed it with white powder. I finally assembled the card, popping Newton and the sentiment circle up on some foam and tying the twine around the card. Now to mail it to one of my long time friends to brighten up her day!

Here's the sketch I interpreted for this challenge. I want to thank Newton's Nook for their biweekly challenges. I enjoy stretching myself to come up with something new for each challenge.

I Heart You card

This card was created for the Lawn Fawnatics challenge #119, which was a sketch challenge.

I cut their Sunflower, Guava, and Mermaid cardstock with the stitched heart from the Foursquare Landscape Backdrop. I then punched smaller hearts from the same colors and adhered them all with Lawn Fawn's Glue Tube. For the sentiment I cut a strip of Guava cardstock and heat embossed the "I Heart You" sentiment from the Simply Celebrate Hearts stamp set with white embossing powder. I added a few sequins for accents. A simple yet fun card for anytime someone you love needs a pick me up.
