April 1, 2012 Birthday Card

Good evening everyone. I think I am finally caught up on my April birthday cards.:0) I just finished a birthday card for my dear friend Kathy (which I hope is not reading this....lol). Here is what I used to create this sweet card..... I used Recollections Kraft  cardstock and it  is cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. The first layer of cardstock is from DCWV Playtime stack (plaid) and it is cut at 5 1/4 x 4. The green paper is from Recollections and it is cut at 4 x 1. The cream colored cardstock is also Recollections and it is cut at  5 1/4 x 2 and I used a Fiskars border punch on one side. I purchased some super cute stamps at http://www.allthatscraps.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=650_1412 . The stamps I used were from C.C. Designs called Woodland Mushroom and Pixie Lucy. I colored the stamps in using Copic markers.  I used stickles on the wings after they were colored in. Have a great night!

March 21, 2012 Bunny Noses/Bunny Tails.....

Oooops! I forgot to take pictures of the bunny treat holder I made. Ok, last post today....I promise.:P I found this cute little turkey treat holder on: http://burtonavenue.blogspot.com/2011/11/turkey-favor-tins-tutorial.html  and thought a bunny would make a cute treat holder too. I used the bunny on Doodlecharms. I used cardstock from Recollections; both the cream and Kraft. On the nose I colored with a Copic marker and covered it with Glossy Accents. I used Tim Holtz distress ink in tea dye on the edges and on the tail. I am not sure if Iam going to fill the treat container with bunny noses or bunny tails...I guess it depends on what treats I can find to fill the little bunnies with. If you have any questions, please send an email. Have a great day!:0)
