Baby Bunny Card



Here's another of the Bebunni adorable bunnies.  This one I fussy cut the baby letters using 2 different sheets of paper.  I stamped the words on the paper and then cut them out.  Some people don't like fussy cutting but I find it relaxing.  It must go back to my childhood when a friend and I would cut out paper dolls from pattern books.  I tried to stick to gender neutral colors.

Where Flowers Bloom Greeting Card



This is my future Mother's Day card that I'll be sending out or delivering in person to my mom.  She's a cat lover just like me so it's very fitting.  I chose white cats since she used to have one and I rarely get an opportunity to do just white (I'm a black cat fan and those are even rarer for me to work on).

Happy Birthday Bunny Cards


I discovered a new rubber stamp company out of the UK with many adorable designs.  The stamps are a little tricky to use since they do not stick to a block.  I ended up applying some Paper Cement to the block and then was able to attach the stamp.  I also had to shorten the banner die.  I did the full size cut and then just moved the die in slightly and ran only the tips through my Cricut.
