Since it’s the 15th of the month, I get to share a DT card for QKR Stampede. Stop by the challenge, which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself? 

The look on this rabbit's face, especially when I saw the name of the digi is “What Eggs?” made me laugh out loud. Instead of making this into an Easter card, I cut a sentiment digi named “Nothing Special” into two sections, creating a wonderful punch line/impact statement for the inside of the card. I’m sending this card to a dear friend who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. I know that she will appreciate the sentiment, and the giggle it might provoke!

Supplies: 

·   Rabbit Digi- QKR Digital Stamp (What Eggs)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front and Inside Sentiment- QKR Digi Stamp (Nothing Special)  Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted

·   Puffy Heart Stickers- Sticko’s

·   All other items from my stash.

        Since I’m a DT for QKR Stampede (sponsor), I’m entering just for fun! 

I have always loved the sweet images at Whimsie Doodles, and wish I had purchased more of them before the business closed in 2018. This adorable digi, named I Love Chocolate Bunnies, resonates with me (and makes me very hungry!) I paired her with some wonderful washi tape and patterned paper that I’ve had in my stash for several years, plus two sentiments from Beccy’s Place digi sets. (Although Whimsie Doodles digis are no longer available, I remembered that their blog had provided tutorials that helped me learn the basics of using alcohol inks. I checked and was excited to find that their blog- and tutorials- are still available. You can find my favorite one about coloring hair HERE.)

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Whimsie Doodles (I Love Chocolate Bunnies) Company no longer in business.  

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Echo Park Chocolate Bunnies Decorative Tape 

·   Front Sentiment “hello” is from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Little Cuties)

·   Inside Sentiment- “Easter Joy” is from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Easter Joy)

·   All other items from my stash.

My boss's son is graduating from high school in early June, and she commissioned me to make a few dozen cards that she’ll need to give to his classmates. Since I want him to be able to tailor the cards to the personalities of his friends, I’m trying to make only one or two of each design.  This is my first! It features a wise owl perched in front of a fun gold foil sentiment. His cap, in school colors, was made with scraps of burgundy and glittery gold cardstock. An embossed sentiment and stars punched from glittery gold add a bit more bling!

PS Beccy’s Place will be retiring many digital and also clear stamp sets at the end of April. Until then, you can pick up some of my favorites for 50% Off! Link to the entire list HERE.
