Don't Worry

It's a Clean and Simple kinda Monday here at Cartolinas.

I have a rare Monday off work, so I will be busying myself with colouring in and watching episodes of my fave series. Perhaps throw a couple David Attenborough documentaries in here and there.

Such a shame I have no chocolate to feast on!

Today, I'm popping in with some inspiration using goodies from

MY MUMS CRAFT SHOP

Kitty is working round the clock to bring us loads of new goodies, and she is not gonna disappoint!

Today I'm using a bunch of Mama Elephant products and my all time favourite die from MFT Die-namics.

Welcome, Little One.

A nip and a punch for the first of the month boys and girls. I can't quite believe it's September, but it is. It's got me thinking that I really need to pull my finger out and get cracking with my Christmas cards. As of yet I've made about 5, which just isn't good enough! Hah.

Anywho, it's time for a new challenge over at My Mum's Craft Shop! 

We wanna see those punches and dies being put to good use!

I began with an adorable bunny from Mama Elephant Honey Bunny. 

I coloured her up with my Warm Greys to create a little white bunny.

I then cut her out using the co-coordinating dies.

I then decided to sit the little bunny on a bed of flowers, and the Laurels set from Avery Elle was perfect for this. I began by die cutting a bunch of the flowers and four of the leaf fronds with the coordinating dies before stamping in Memento Bamboo Leaves, Spearmint, Cotton Candy and Grout Grey Hybrid Inks from MFT.

I finished the card by layering the design on top of a slice of paper from Echo Park - We Are Family, which I had punched using the Tonic Boot Punch - Edger 2 before adhering everything to the cardbase and stamping a sentiment using Lawn Fawn - Milo's ABCS.

Best Friends

Good morning guys! :) You're getting a post typed up in the moment this morning, there's a novelty. I quite like this off work lark! Although I'm not really managing to squeeze in much craft time, I'm still having a ball. It's just a treat to have a lie in past 6am! Hah.

So here's a little ickle card from me using some Mama Elephant goodness.

Honey Bunny Stamps

Honey Bunny Dies

I coloured my little bunnies up with ProMarkers to match my papers from My Minds Eye Now and Then Dorothy. I created a simple little frame with some circle dies and added my bunnies to the front. I stamped a sentiment in MFT Hybrid Ink - Cotton Candy and added it to the bottom of the design. 

As for embellishments I raided my little £1 MMCS Embellishments box. I added a Resin Daisy Flower, a Medium Flower Button and a clear coloured gem. I then rediscovered some die cut sequins I had cut when I first for my MFT Die-namics Sequins die.

I hope you like my mini bang of colour this morning. Happy hump day! xo

Some Bunny Loves You

Today. Today.. I'm excited to share this card I made for MMCS with you all.

I took HUGE inspiration from Nicol Magouirk, you can drool over her card (and the rest of her blog) HERE.

I made this scene using a bunch of stamps from a couple stamp sets, both available at My Mum's Craft Shop. It was super easy to do, and all of the fussy cutting made this super relaxing.

Paper Smooches - Metropolis

For the sky line, clouds, moon and stars

Mama Elephant - Honey Bunny

For the adorable little rabbits

I used a bunch of cardstock: green, black, grey and navy. I also used a slice of paper from Carta Bella Baby Mine Boy for a different shade of green.

I stamped a sentiment from Honey Bunny in Versafine Onyx Black ink. 

As for embellishment I sprinkled a few gold sequins through the sky and some Striped Candy Dots through the grass. Job done.
