Carrot Chomper

 


Hello and welcome. Today's card is for our 5 year old great-grandson. Pp was found online, bunny is from the Silhouette. My first thought was to make the bunny a wobbler but then since his arm swivels I decided to put a carrot in his hand instead of an egg and thought it would be kind of cute for Matthew to be able to move the carrot to and from the bunny's mouth. Bunny is popped up with mounting tape. Carrot is computer clip art that I fussy cut then used a decorative scissor to cut the tip to look like the bunny had taken a bite. Tail has brown Fun Flock from Stumpendous and of course I couldn't resist the googly eye. "Happy" was printed on the computer. For a little interest I cropped the chick in the egg from the pp then added to the oval. "Easter" is computer clip art. Oval punches are from Stampin Up.

Thanks for stopping by your visits are very important to me.

Masculine Birthday

 


Hello and welcome. Here I am with another card using foil. Embossing the foil didn’t work out too well for me last time, so this time I mounted the foil on cs before embossing and it worked much better. Today’s card is for our son. Zig Zag ef is from Stampin Up, die cuts are Spellbinders Classic Diamonds, corner strips were cut on the paper trimmer. Number candles were found online and sentiment was printed on the computer.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy and safe.

Foiled Birthday


 

Hello and welcome. Today's card is for my bonus grandson aka, favorite busser. While perusing Pinterest I saw several cards with a similar layout and using foil. I tried embossing the foil but that didn't go well for me, so I just crumpled it. After it was all put together, I thought if I used a black stamp pad and a brayer it might soften the glare of the foil. So, I took it apart, used a different piece of foil, brayered it and was happy with the result and put it back together. Center square is Stitched Squares by Die-namics with sentiment printed on the computer. Square is popped up.

Lucky Clover



 Hello and welcome. Today's card is made from the monthly card kit for my purchase from Debbie Henderson,  

The border strip and heart are gold metalic paper. The white cs pieces in the kit were plain so I changed them up a bit by adding corner borders that are computer clip art. 

I'm entering this in Double D Challenges: Everything Is Coming Up Green Challenge (daranddiane.blogspot.com)

I hope Debbie will approve of my changes. Below is a photo of Debbie's card.

Floating Ghost

 

Hello and welcome. It's been a while since I've entered the Two Old Bats challenge, so I decided it's about time to get back to it.

Today's card was quite simple. Pp was found online, and Mr. Creepy is from the Silhouette. I sort of softened him with a cotton ball and Basic Gray stamp pad. He's double popped up. Using a single pop dot didn't raise him quite enough so I doubled them. Jus before I took the picture, I thought the eyes needed a little something, so I added Black Diamond Stickles.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy and safe.
