Birthday Balloons

Good morning crafty friends, I hope you are having a good week. Can you believe that we are at the end of January already ??? where did that go lol.

Today's cards were an idea that popped in to my head that I decided to give a try, using the string of balloons to make the age number of the recipient.

It ended up being very fiddly, so I don't think I will rush to try it again, but I am happy with how these turned out. 

I have recently signed up to a new monthly kit, from Hobby base, and the foiled card and twine came in that kit. I used an MFT Stamps, Dienamics die to cut the balloon shape, and raised them on foam tape onto 6 x 4 card blanks.

I shaped the twine into the numbers and then covered them in PVA glue, once they were dry, they were pretty much stuck in the shape, so I could glue them to my cards and tie a knot around the balloon end.

Then I heat embossed a sentiment and added a few sequin stars to finish.

Hope you like them, take care and I'll see you soon.

Some Bunny Loves You

Good morning all and happy 'hump day', I hope you are having a good week and looking forward to the Easter weekend.

I think this gorgeous smiling bunny is perfect for this week, and Easter cards. But I used it for a birthday card last week for my brother to send to our nephew.

The stamp is from the Some Bunny set by Uniko, I stamped it with Gray Flannel Memento ink, and then coloured it with Copic markers.

I cut the panel out using an Avery Elle, Wonky Stitched Ellements die, then I added the panel to a mid grey note card.

I used the same ink to stamp the sentiments from Avery Elle and Crafters Companion, then added a heat embossed sentiment on to a strip of black card across the bottom.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
