Bunny Friends Thank You Card

Hello again and welcome. We’re having a little stretch of very cold weather here at the moment, so I decided to make a springlike card to warm me up! These little bunny friends were perfect for the occasion. 



I stamped the adorable image from the “Bunny Friends” stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs onto Neenah Solar Crest 80# cardstock, and coloured it in with Copic markers before fussy cutting it out.  I masked off my card front with some contact paper that I had die cut a circle from.  I ink blended this circle in yellow ( I used some Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud ink in Lemon Meringue, but any ink would work). I used a grey ink to stamp and clear heat emboss the sentiment, which is from the same stamp set.  

Next, I die cut a variety of flowers from scraps of inked up cardstock I had in my “To Be Used One Day” box (that’s the box where all those bits and pieces go when you’re just not sure what to do with them!).  I used the Spellbinders Petite Floral Potpourri die set for this, as the flowers are quite small and delicate.  Once I had everything cut out, I started with the leaves to build a wreath, and glued them in place around my inked circle.  Then I added in the little flowers around the wreath.  I mounted the bunnies on foam tape and popped them up in the middle.  Finally, I added a few pearls to the flower centres to give them that little sparkle.  Those little bunnies just steal the show with their cuteness! 

Thank you so much for joining me today and I hope you’re having a great day! 

Copic markers used: E40, E41, E42, E43, E31 and R00

Fun Fold Meerkat Birthday Card

Hello everyone! Today I thought I would share an easy fun fold card with you. It’s really just a trifold card with a bit of die cutting on the front flap. But it means there is extra room inside to add some more images so you can have a fun surprise for the recipient. I chose to use the “Meerkats on the Lookout” stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs, because they are just so fun and there are quite a few images in the collection. Here’s a look at my card. 





Aren’t those meerkats just the cutest?!  The final size of this card is 5” x 3 5/8” so it’s similar to a mini slimline card. This really is a simple card fold and I’ve made a video for you showing you how I’ve made this one. If you would like to see how to make it, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

The tree die I used is from Elizabeth Craft and is just called “Tree”.   Here’s a list of the Copic markers I used for my colouring. 

Meerkats - W2, E53, E40, C2, C0, E27
Rocks - N6, N4 and W7, W5, W4

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you’re having a great day!
