Designers Choice Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun Spring card to brighten your day! I watched the big bumblebees in our garden this week and wanted to make a bumblebee card. This is what I came up with:

I first covered the front of my card with flower patterned paper from the Spring Fling paper pad. Then I die-cut the Frilly Frames Hexagon from masking paper, adhered it to a panel of white cardstock, inked the panel with yellow and orange Distress Oxide Inks and removed the mask. Now I stamped the sentiment, combined from the "spring" from Cheerful Daisies and the "ha-bee" made with the Phoebe Alphabet. There is no dash in the set, I used the exclamation mark instead. After I had adhered the panel to the card, came the funniest part.

I created a bumble-bee from the Chickie Baby set and the Happy Owl-o-ween set. A bumble-chick or chickie-bee? Whatever! Something cute :) . I stamped the elements, colored them with Copics, fussy-cut the images and assembled the little thing before adhering it to the card with foam tape. Finally, I added yellow and orange Rainbow Droplets to the card.

I hope this made you smile today, we can all do with smiles! Thanks for visiting!

Hello everyone, Anja here with one more Easter card combining several stamp sets. I turned the Easter eggs from the Chubby Bunny and the Chickie Baby set into balloons with the help of masking and the Floating By Stamps.

First, I did a soft background by sponging Distress Oxide Inks (Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold and Worn Lipstick) over self-made stencils that I cut with the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. I used the stitched rectangle die included in the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set to cut out my panel.

Next, I stamped the bunny in the basket, the balloons as well as the little birdies (Seasonal Tree Stamps) and the fence with grass border (Spring Scenes Stamps) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. Before adhering the images with foam tape, I stamped the balloon strings and sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink directly onto my cloud background. I also stamped the word 'bunny' with the Phoebe Alphabet Stamps and fussy cut it out with scissors leaving a small white border.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you all a Happy Easter!
