It's FRIDAY… and time for this weeks QKR Stampede Challenge. My DT card this week, features an adorable digi from Eureka Stamps named " Smiling Bunny." It's only $2 and you can find it HERE. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and white gel pen, which worked great for adding whiskers. [I added a closeup photo so that you could see them.] I cut a small circle of white fur from a scrap I have is my small fabric stash to add some soft texture to his widdle wabbit tail. I picked up a dozen outdated seed packets at an end of season sale a few years ago for a nickel a pack. Just knew that they'd make a nice background for a card… and they Do! The sentiment is computer generated.

This week at wecraftcards the challenge sponsor provided a photo from Pinterest [the card with the chocolate bunny. Decided I needed to note that fact... because I can't take credit for that adorable- and yummy- creation], noting that we were to use it as a guide for a unique fold card. I was thrilled when I saw it because I'd picked up a pack of party announcement cards in the Discount section at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago. I swapped out the hot pink foil belly band with a new one crafted from a section of scrapbook border and strips of sheer and dotted swiss ribbon from my stash. Topped that off with an adorable Di's Digi image that I colored with Spectrum Noir markers and white gel pen. Named "Cute Cradle", it's on sale right now for just $1. [You can find it HERE.] The Welcome Baby sentiment on the inside of the card is a freebie from Papercrafts Magazine. You can find it HERE. The other inside sentiment is computer generated. I've had it in my craft files for at least a decade and didn't know the name of the author. I just did a bit of research and found out that it is from a book named "You Are My I Love You" by

My final card for this challenge is a Christmas card that I'm entering into a few challenges. It is created to reflect the inside sentiment, "All Hearts Come Home", a freebie from LoveSVG. You can find it HERE. The background is made from a South Dakota map [the state where my hubby and I were both born, many decades ago.] The card also features two origami folds. The first is named "Hearts and Flowers." A stamping friend provided instructions for this fold on her blog. You can find that link HERE. It took a few attempts to master the fold, but after changing the size of the squares to 3x3 inches and using a piece of foil wrapping paper that is easily pliable and holds a sharp crease, I was able to make this bright and shiny heart. The second fold, Origami Shadow Box, also called the Peekaboo Frame fold, is super easy to make. You can find a great tutorial HERE. The second fold, Origami Shadow Box, that is also called the Peekaboo Frame fold, is super easy to make. You can find a great tutorial HERE. I picked up a roll of the red and white HoHoHo ribbon at JoAnne's after Christmas sale last year, and the little "Hello" greeting on the front of the card is a freebie that you can find HERE.
