Zoo Babies in a Box !

Hello everyone, hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and avoiding the showers!

I wanted to share this cute little card I made yesterday for a special little Girl who turns 7 this week, not a 'Girlie Girl' ...she much prefers blue so I wrangled together all my blue inkpads and set about a menagerie of blue Zoo Babies in another Card in a Box , I love making these and they sure have the wow factor :)

I stamped all the animals using different shades of blue and added a Rich Razzleberry Zebra for good measure, the animals were all hand cut with my new SU Paper Snips, if you don't have these get them , they are so sharp right down to the tips of the blades, perfect for intricate cutting!

Some stars cut from Silver Glimmer Paper add a nice touch of bling, everybody likes a bit of bling even non Girlie 7 year old Girls !!! I also added some 'grass' using the Fringe Scissors , it really adds to the 3 dimensional look. All of the elements were mounted on clear acetate so they appear to float.

I've completed the card with a silver 7 cut on my Silhouette machine and stamped a matching envelope in the perfect size, this is so easy with the Envelope Punch Board.

So there you have it, a bespoke card full of fun and in her favourite colours, I can't wait to give it to her.

Happy weekend everyone.

More Easter makes ...

Hi again everyone, wow this weekend has flown by but I've had a lovely time relaxing and enjoying it.

I promised I'd come back and share some of the other pretties I made for Easter and its all pretty much about the bunnies !!!

First up a Bunny Hutch , I made this using my Silhouette as I don't have the Stampin' Up! Mini Milk Carton die in my collection, the cardstock is stamped with the Hardwood stamp, love that stamp it's so versatile! I added some grass inside the hutch and used the fab Fringe Scissors , you can barely see it in this shot, I think the Bunny may have been munching it ! Finally I embellished with Petite Petals punched flowers and a tag using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and a cute image from Eggstra Spectacular stamp set.

Next up a Bunny Run! Again used fab SU cardstock and run it through my Silhouette machine , our cardstock cuts so well in this machine, this was decorated with the same punches as the hutch :) Love those Lindt Bunnies and Carrots , sooo cute!

 A couple of cute cards in So Saffron cardstock and the Eggstra Spectacular set ....

And finally a gift bag containing a little Easter pressie for my Mummy :)

Well I think I'm all 'Eastered' out now, well apart from the lovely M&S egg I still have unopened;)

Wish you all a happy week and I'll be back soon with more makes to share and not a bunny or egg in sight, promise!!!
