Gorilla-Friend

This week I'm having some fun with the adorable "Camilla Gorilla". When I saw her not only did she make me smile but I wanted to try to use her in a fun way on my card. So, I challenged myself to do a CAS style card but to also include some type of scene. 
Camilla has an infectious grin and I hope that the person who receives this adorable gorilla smiles along with her.

After colouring up Camilla and the banana tree I hand fussy cut it and ran a black marker around the edge. I set them aside and cut a piece of white cardstock to fit my card front and used an inside out stitched circle die to cut out my "window". Some watercolor wash paper from Lawn Fawn was perfect for my sky and I added a few stitched clouds just for fun. Camilla is added to my mini scene using 3D foam pop dots. I centered and stamped the sentiment using my Misti and finished of my card with some enamel dots.

Flutter'in By

My thinking of you, sending smiles, just because card stash is getting pretty big. However, when I saw the super sweet "Lynn Angel" in the High Hopes line up I knew I had to make one more card for my stash before I start sending them out. 
With not being able to see anyone right now it will be fun to choose cards from my stash and send some happy mail to family and friends. I know exactly who I will be flutter'in by to say hi to with this one

I coloured up this sweet angel with alcohol markers, cut her out using a circle die and cut a matching cardstock circle to go behind her. Star Dust Stickles were added to her wings, shoe button and dress buttons for a bit of bling.
 I love the small flower paper in the Misty Mountains pad by Kaiserkraft and added some Watercolor Wash paper to create my background layers. 

A banner die from Sizzix was a great way to add a layer behind the image. To get the cardstock piece behind it, I traced the outside of the die - it is much wider then the actual die cut - cut it and trimmed it down to the size I wanted. Some matching ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Chopper's Easter

Happy Easter High Hopes Fans! 
Today I am hopping in with "Chopper's Easter Gift" and boy does he make me smile. Truthfully I was giggling the whole time I coloured him! Who knew that the Easter Bunny needed a helper?! and such an adorable one at that!
Chopper sure stepped up this year and is hopping off to spread love, smiles and chocolate to all who will accept it. I hope he has my address!!

I coloured Chopper up with alcohol markers and then hand fussy cut him leaving a thing white edge. I set him aside and grabbed a grass tuft die, cardstock and a puffy cloud border and started cutting pieces to help create my scene. 
I used a wavy slider die because I wanted Chopper to look like he was hopping when he is moved across the card front - he does have springs on his feet after all - smile. I stamped the sentiment and mounted it on some matching card stock. Ribbon and matching enamel dots finish off my card.

Hugs To Cheer You

I don't know about you but I think this will be me running to give hugs to all my friends and family when the social distancing is over. 
I miss giving them and I miss receiving them but until I am able to give and receive hugs again I am using the oh so cute "Gonna Getcha" from High Hopes to send a hug in a card to someone on my needs a hug list.
Paired with the "Hugs to Cheer You" sentiment it is a fun hug in a card!

After colouring this cutie with alcohol markers, I hand fussy cut it and ran a black marker around the edge to cover any white edges. Some patterned paper from Lawn Fawn was perfect for the cheery but warm feeling I was looking to give with this card. I cut a pleated lace circle and added some matching paper and a few hearts just for fun. 
Diamond Stickles on the buttons on the overalls gave me the touch of bling I like to add to my cards. Ribbon and enamel dots finish off this 5" x 5" card.
