Hoppy Birthday Card

Today I made this adorable rabbit card.  I love the shape of the card, but it's all the little details that make this card even more special.

The bunny and all his layers are from Nate's ABCs. I sized them to 4" but I added a second layer of grass (from EDPD) to give it some more height.  The little bunny doesn't come with any details, so I found shapes on Nate's ABCs that I could use for his nose and ears.  The little cotton tail is Q-tip cotton I attached with a little hot glue. The card shape is from Preserves, it's actually a tag I sized to fit an A2 envelope. 

The senitment is from My Pink Stamper's Punny-licious.  I inked all the grass layers with green ink and a finger dauber.  I attached the bunny with pop-dots and the grass with thicker pop dots.

The eye and these black pearls are self-stick flat back peals I grabbed from Craft Warehouse.  Here you can see I also inked around the background paper.  Using black ink and a finger dauber gives the wood grain paper a wonderful distress look.  The background paper is from DCWV's Green Stack.  I used a mat stack, but I also have it in an 8" x 8" stack.

Like most scene-style cards, I like to make the card open from the top so it can be displayed.  For this card, I couldn't make the card open from the top and preserve the tag top shape. My card base measures 5 1/2" x 7 3/4" and folds in the center.

Sparkling Horse Card

I made this cute glittery card for a horse lovin' little girl that will be turning eight soon.  All the cuts are from Create a Critter, the horse is 3 1/2" and the star is 3".  The background paper from DCWV's Glitter stack, the rest of the card is scraps but I know that the white glitter paper (the star) is also from a DCWV pack.

I always accent CAC cuts by adding a little shine to their eyes with my white gel pen. The horse is attached with pop dots.

My ADORABLE sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's. As you can see, the glitter paper is difficult to stamp onto but I think it really is worth the effort. I separated (I covered the half I didn't want to stamp with some scotch tape, applied ink, then removed the tape and stamped) the sentiment and stamped it onto two lines.

I used scraps to create this cute little pocket on the inside of the card.  Like the front, I added some gel pen stitching around the brown mat.
