Celebrating Bunny Rabbit

Hi, Lois here today.  I have to tell you that I have fallen in love with all those cute little critters in the October release from CottageCutz -- In the Forest.  Today I'm bringing you a card which I was a bit unhappy with initially, but with the addition of a couple of elements, I am quite happy.


Supplies for this card are:

Cream cardstock cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", folded in half
Chocolate cardstock cut 3 3/4" x 5"
Cream cardstock, kraft cardstock approx. 3 3/4" x 4 3/4" for cutting ovals
Patterned paper cut 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Scraps of cardstock red, green, white, black
Distress ink - Weathered Wood, Walnut Stain, Bundled Sage, Tumbled Glass
Markers - black, pink
CottageCutz dies -  Deer and Rabbit Peekers, Tree Stump and Log for Peekers, Earmuffs and Mittens, Balloon - Round mini, Celebrate, Double-stitched Ovals

I began by cutting out the pieces from the Deer and Rabbit Peekers, the Tree Stump and Log for Peekers, and Earmuffs and Mittens dies.



I then sponged some color on the rabbit and stump pieces to give them some depth. I colored the inside of the bunny ears and the nose with markers.



I cut out the layers and die cut the ovals . . .


. . . sponged some ink for the grass and sky on the cream-colored oval and constructed my card.  However, at this point I was not very happy with the card.  It definitely needed something.  The bunny didn't really look too happy peeking out from that stump.  I had an idea about how to cheer him up, so I die cut the balloon and the word "Celebrate."


Now, he looked better.  Here again is my completed card.

Winter fun

Hi, all! Vladka here.
I have another project with "In the Woods" dies. You still have a few days left to get them on the sale in the Store together with other dies.  Be sure to check it out.  Today I'm showcasing following dies: Cute PenguinEarmuffs & Mittens MiniScarf MiniWinter Boots Mini and Winter Hat Mini. 
I remember as a child how I liked the stories which had pictures of some objects instead of words. And this was idea here and so I used die cuts of Mittens, Scarf, Boots and Hat instead of words. But this is just the beginning because card has also second page. I used brad on the upper left corner which helps to open the front page on the side. Text also begins on the first page and it continues on second one where cute little penguin invite you to have some winter fun together.
This is it for today. Have fun!
