Bo Bunny Enchanted Garden Card



One of my craft "resolutions" was to try to enter into more card challenges. So today I designed this card to enter into:






I didn't have time to film and edit a video this time so instead I'll list the steps in making this card:

  • pick out the papers you want to use
  • stamp your image with Memento ink in Tuxedo Black on Copic friendly paper
  • colour the image with Copic sketch markers that compliment your paper choices
  • fussy cut out your image
  • I used a 5 1/2" square pre-made card
  • cut your base layer of card stock at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2"
  • cut your patterned paper piece at 5 3/8 x 5 3/8"
  • using your metal dies cut out your desired shapes (I use a Cuttlebug machine)
  • Ink all your paper edges with Distress Ink in your choice of colour
  • glue everything onto your base layer but don't attach to the pre-made card yet
  • add your ribbon, I just tape it onto the back of the base layer
  • now glue your base to the pre-made card 
  • pop dot your image so it stands out and adds dimension
  • assemble the inside of your card
  • add any embellishments to the front and inside of your card
  • last step for me always is to add any thing "wet" like Stickles or glossy accents as since you are finished with your card they will have time to dry

Haul Video #2

Hi everyone!

Well we are finally home from our trip out East and back to normal. We had a wonderful trip and saw some very beautiful parts of Canada! I always love coming home to "crafty" mail! Imagine my delight when I opened the mailbox and saw 2 parcels for me (wohoooo!). So here is another haul video showcasing my purchases from Prairie Paper Haven and Simon Says Stamp. I posted links to all the goodies below the video.


So now that I'm home it's back to the craft room for me! I sure did miss being in here. I hope you enjoyed this video and now off to create some cards!
Chat at you later,
Cheri
