A gift for my secret bunny - part 2

These are the other two cards that got lost in my other post.

Build A Bear Birthday

My daughter was invited to a birthday party a little last minute and we needed a birthday card. She picked all of the colors and left me to make the card while she went with Daddy to dance class. This card features Lavender Lace, Pretty In Pink, Whisper White and various colors for my Stampin' Up Markers for the balloons. I used the Stampin' Up Build a Bears set called "Beary Best Friends". The sentiment is from "Beary Nice Wishes". Now I have to say that I used my Stampamajig for this card A LOT! I stamped the first balloon in the bears paw and then stamped some balloons on post it notes to mask that balloon and then built onto that. I stamped the gift bag originally in Real Red Classic ink, then used my Stampin Up markers to color it in. After doing this you couldn't see the lines that were stamped so I lined up my Stampamajig again and stamped the gift bag in Black StazOn. I dropped my pen on the face of the bear, and since I was under a time crunch I stamped the head on another sheet of cardstock cut it out, and stuck it down. The party hat is also stamped separately and added on. The dots in the background were made using the dotted embossing folder which sadly the name is escaping me at the present.
Hopefully her friend liked the card!

Flight of the Butterfly and new InColors!

As soon as I saw the new InColors I had to make something with it! Of course it has taken me forever to photo it and get it posted, but that is another story! I am trying to get pictures in natural light, which considering all the rain we've had, has been hard to do.

So anyway I made these little cards using the new Mellon Mambo, and Soft Suede InColors. The image is stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock in Mellon Mambo and Soft Suede Classic inks. I used my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the butterfly background lined up with the butterfly dot pattern. Oh and also the sentiment. It took a little practice, but I finally got it all straightened out! I used the Eyelet Border punch for the edge and tied it up with some Very Vanilla ribbon.
All items are by Stampin' Up!

This is on my Butterfly bush, which I can look out my window next to the computer and see. It is very relaxing to see the butterflies flitting around. And occasionally some bees and birds visit as well. Last year the bush was filled with butterflies of all kinds! Can't wait to see who comes to visit this year!
