Cheerful Critters

Posted on February 20, 2015February 20, 2015 by Josee

Good Morning! Happy Friday!

I've got a cute card to share with you today!

It's a simple, but simply cute card! The little heart stamp from Best Day Ever fits perfectly in the Happy Heart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and I couldn't help adding a little belt to the bunny's oufit with the Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim.

Here are the supplies I used on this card:

Measurements:

Melon Mambo: 5.5”x8.5”
Whisper White: 5”x3.75”, plus some for die cutting

Instructions:

Cut card base from Melon Mambo, cut base layer from Whisper White
Emboss Whisper White with Happy Heart embossing folder, then stamp ‘heart’ stamp from Best Day ever inside random embossed hearts; adhere to card base
Stamp bunny from Cheerful Critters and sentiment on Whisper White; use Oval Framelit to die cut
Die cut Bermuda Bay washi sheet with the next size oval to mat the stamped Whisper White oval
Color the bunny stamped image using Blendabilities
Trim the bottom of both ovals where the stamped image ends
Adhere the washi oval and stamped oval on to the embossed base layer
Cut a small section of Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim to create a little belt for the bunny’s outfit

I found another great way to use the Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim and I can't wait to show you that card next week!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!!
