Happy Easter-Send A Smile 4 Kids

This month at Send A Smile 4 Kids we are celebrating Spring/Easter!

I have two adorable granddaughters that I always send Easter cards to, and thought this would be such a cute one to send to the youngest one. To create my card I started by die cutting the focal panel using Waffle Flower's Window Trio 1 die to cut the squares into my patterned paper from Echo Park's Spring Fling 6x6 paper pad. I then layered a piece of pink solid patterned paper from the same paper pad underneath. Using a 1" square paper punch from EK Success, I cut the smaller squares. I stamped the adorable images from Darcie's Feathers and Fur stamp set onto white Copic-friendly cardstock, colored them using my alcohol markers, and fussy cut them out. I popped the whole panel up off of my white A2 card using 3M foam tape, leaving a nice 1/4" border around the edges. I adhered all of the critters into their little "windows" using liquid glue and more 3M foam tape. I finished off this adorable card by adding some sparkly pink sequins that I picked up at my local craft store. Thank you for stopping by today. Be sure to head over to the Send A Smile 4 Kids blog and see what the rest of the team has created!

 

Have A Happy Sunny Bunny Day-SAS4Kids

 

Hello, happy February! This month at Send A Smile 4 Kids we are creating spring/Easter cards for kids. I wanted to create a fun card that would work for either a boy or a girl. I cracked out my Darcie's Heart & Home Feathers and Fur stamp set and stamped the adorable bear, bunny, and chick images onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock. I colored them using my alcohol markers and then stamped their "hands" separately, colored them, and fussy cut them out. Using patterned paper from the Doodlebug Springtime 6x6 paper pad I layered a green base onto my A2 white card base and then created a panel using the colored images and more of the patterned paper and die cut it using a stitched edge rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs. I popped it up off of the card using some 3M foam tape for some fun dimension. I added a small fishtailed banner at the lower left side of the card. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set using Memento tuxedo black ink and then die cut it using a pierced edge circle die from My Favorite Things and then added it some of the same patterned paper I used in the background using a slightly larger Spellbinders circled die. The sentiment also got popped up for a bit more dimension. To finish this fun card off I added some white gel pen details to the critters and then added some light green enamel dots from Snap at the corners. I love this adorable card and can't wait to see what the rest of the team created for this month's challenge!
