French Bulldog Birthday card

I received this stamp set from Simon Says Stamp as a birthday gift.  Isn't this little bulldog just adorable?  I was torn how to color his body but decided on doing a black body to offset the colors of the pepperoni pizza.

Foxglove & Pansy Seed Packets

It's been awhile since I put together some seed packets.  They are great to give to a friend to brighten their yard and think about you when they see the flowers.  I did two different kinds this time - Foxglove & Pansies.  I placed non-GMO seeds in each.  Next I think I'll try herbs.

Bunny With Flowers card

I like having cards around that I can send out for any occasion and this cute little bunny is perfect for that purpose.  I can always add a quick liner inside with a stamped "happy birthday" or just use it to brighten someone's day.  I added some metallic accents on the stems to make them pop.Da

I'm Your Favorite Grandchild card

This card makes me smile and miss my grandmother that I got my love of baking from and partially named this blog/craft business after.  I have another card that says the same sentiment but using a stamp to say child.  I had a special request to create a card saying grandchild so I printed the saying off on my printer.

You're Tee-riffic Dad card

I love this brand new release from Newton's Nook.  My only wish is that my father was still here so I could give it to him because he loved to golf.  Instead I'll put the cards up on Etsy so hopefully someone's dad appreciates it on his birthday or Father's Day.

For My Amazing Mother card

I do have a very amazing mother and I hope whoever is reading this does also.  I love these lilacs from Newton's Nook.  I plan to use them many times but I needed to make a card for my mom so this is only a single card.  I masked out the stem and leaf before stamping the jar and lilacs and think I did pretty good.

Happy Birthday to Ewe card

Isn't this little ewe just the sweetest?  I could resist this stamp when I saw it come out.  So many cute expressions that go with it too.  I stamped the ewe first and made an additional stamp on a post-it note and then covered the ewe and stamped the fence to go behind it.  It's easy to do and a great way to layer stamps.

Birthdays are a Piece 0f Cake card

After you cross that all important threshold of 21...they are all just a reason to eat cake.  This little bunny is delivering a piece of cake to his favorite person.  The ones I feed throughout the year did not deliver a piece of cake to me but did leave little brown droppings on my yard.  I need to work on their gift giving.
