A have a couple “little” cards to share today…these are note card size (3 1/2 x 5, or thereabouts). It’s fun to make something other than a standard card—if you have smaller images, they don’t get lost on the larger canvas! The first one is for the Card Monkey challenge 56, to make a card for kids, using this sketch:
Oh dear, I don’t have many kid-type stamps, but I thought the little bunny from Forest Friends was pretty cute for a little one! I strayed a tiny little bit from the sketch:
I plopped the heart from the upper part of the sketch and stuck it down at the bottom! The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and I used a Chocolate Chip marker to only ink part of it, then punched it out with the 3-Heart Punch. I also did some masking with the A to Z stamp on the bunny image!
For my second card, it took me longer to figure out what sentiment to use than to make the card itself! This is for the City Crafter challenge 57, stripes & polka dots. I know the gals over there make really fluffy, frilly cards, but this is downright CAS:
I got this idea from Nelia and thought it was adorable! I simplified mine quite a bit, but I still think it is as cute as a button! The strawberry is the Scalloped Heart of Hearts diecut and the cap is the 5-Petal punch, and I trimmed one petal down to make the stem! Sentiment is from Flight of the Butterfly! Thanks for so much for visiting today!

Adorable cards, LeAnne! I know what you mean about smaller notes - they are sometimes just more fun to make. I am going to CASE you on that strawberry, too!!! (One of my fave challenges is doing strawberries this week and I don't have any.) Such a cutie pie peeking at us from the bottom of the post. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, LeAnne! Love the sweet bunny and heart sentiment on the first. The masking looks fantastic and I love your take on that sketch. And fabulous strawberry card! Fabulous! You are so clever the way you used those punches, and the swirly sentiment is brilliant.
