Festive Friday #11

Hello again! It's time for another Festive Friday and we're still all about Easter cards. I think this is my favourite card I have made in a while! 

Here it is...

I'll give you a quick run down of punches I've used. 

The clouds are the small scallop circle cut down to desired size, the fence was made from the word window, then glued onto two thin strips of card. The rabbit is from 1 1/4" circle for the body, the head is 1" circle and the ears are also from the 1" circle (Check further down for detail on how ears were done) The rabbits eyes and nose are from the owl punch. The butterflies are from beautiful wings embosslit, the flowers are the smallest flower on the boho punch and the grass is a strip of certainly celery, which I cut by hand. The 'easter' banner was created using 3/4" circle for the base, and the letters were punched from the 1/2" circle. The banner is then tied to some crochet wool and tied to two tooth picks. I dont own any alphabet stamps, so I used letters from 'Curly Cute' stamp set, to create the word 'easter'. I popped the fence and the rabbit up on dimensionals for added depth and pearls finish it off nicely. 

So there you have it - a 'brief' run down of punches used... still with me? :)

Now to create the ears, I did a few quick photos:

Punch out a circle.

Feed the circle half way into punch, then rotate card and feed other side in.

Here is what you will end up with from the one circle. Use the same method, but a smaller circle for the pink bits of the ear.

So now it's over to you.. pop past Nicole's blog to see what the other design team members have come up with and why not join in? 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Festive Friday # 7

Hi Guys! Time for another Festive Friday Challenge. Here's my inspiration for you this week:

I actually got the inspiration from this card. I thought the colours were great and ones I wouldn't normally put together myself. So the base is 'baja breeze' and the DSP is from 'paisley petals'. The snow man is made from a 1" circle for the head and the two body bits are 11/4" circle. The hat, scarf, nose and arms were cut free hand and the eyes and buttons are the smallest circle from the 'owl punch'. I stamped the smallest snow flake from 'snow swirled' in white and the snow has just been ripped to the shape I wanted. The sentiment is from 'four the holidays' and I cut a tooth pick to size for the pole. Lastly I popped the snowman up on dimensionals. This was a little bit different to my normal Christmas cards, as I dont normally do 'snowy' cards as we are right in the middle of summer at Christmas! But having said that, I this this guys is pretty cute!

So why not drop by Nicole's blog and see what the other design team have come up with and get a head start on your Christmas cards! Also Nicole is offering random prize winners if we get 5 or more entries - so it's a win-win all round!

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Owl

I'm back with another cute Christmas idea. I actually saw this idea from Kirsty Brown's site. I thought they were adorable and these sweeties will go to my Sister, so she is able to give to them to some special people.

Thanks for looking!
