A Chocolate Bunny and a Vintage Prints Christmas

Saturday's inspiration challenge on Split Coast was an ETSY webb site by Joom who makes beautiful pillows. I was inspired by this chocolate bunny pillow here:

And this is the card I made.

I used a Martha Stewart lacy punch for the edges and a bunny and flower stamp by Artful INKables. The vase is an oval nestability that I cut the top off, turned around the cut off piece and attached it to the larger piece to create the opening of the vase. I did a lot of sponging and doodling on the edges and all the images are up on foam dimensionals!

My second card is for the Featured Stamper challenge on Split Coast who this week was Emily (Ink-E) who is just 18 years old. I had not been in her gallery before and found some very lovely cards there! I chose this card of hers to case.

Being in my 'I need to get my Christmas cards done now' mode (!) - I changed the sentiment to a Christmas one and used Holiday Vintage Prints designer paper by Papertrey Ink.

I used my 1.25 inch square punch from Creative Memories to punch the perfect sized squares and attached them to the Vintage Cream card stock from PTI. I stamped the sentiment twice - once in gold pigment ink (Colorbox) then in Pure Poppy (PTI) -cut out the oval sentment part of the poppy one and layered it onto the gold one with a foam dimensional.

Then I wrapped the pure poppy satin ribbon around it placing the cut ends under the sentiment and done! This is nice and thin for mailing too!

Congratulations to Emily on being Featured Stamper today I'm sure she had a wonderful day looking at all the CASE's of her cards!!

Now I'm off to my stamping room to make 10 more of these pretty cards!
