Simple and sweet cards

Hi there!

Sometimes I like to spend hours on one card, but sometimes I like things to move a little faster. I've made 2 cards, using products from the Ellen Hutson store, that I made in 30 minutes or less.

The first card is an Easter card, because Maia wanted one to gift her teacher with before Easter weekend:

I colored the bunny from Party Pals, and stuck him onto a banner that I hand-cut. I adhered the Happy Easter line border in lieu of a stamped greeting.



I cut into my white cardstock using the Outside In Easter Egg Stackables die, and lined the back with some Avery Elle patterned paper. I added a little sprig, from Magical Day to balance out the images and add a soft touch.

My next card is for a last-minute birthday card that I forgot to make until the morning-of. ack!

I used the sweet dogs from Dog Lady, and gave them party hats from Puppy's Favorite Things. I also used the sentiments from that set to complete the card.



I hope you like them both! If you have to make cards quickly, and at the last minute, here is what works for me: don't worry about the layout. ha! The longest part of designing a card, for me, is figuring out an interesting layout. Here, I colored images and didn't think too much about anything.

Happy Easter weekend!

New Essentials by Ellen Leading Ladies!

Hi there!

I'm thrilled to be joining the EH team to show off Brandi Kincaid's 2 new leading ladies:



Say hi to Dog Lady and Cat Lady!

I made a card using each set. I am more of a dog lover, so let's start there:



I stamped and colored the doggies from the set, and lined them all up at the bottom of my card. Behind them, I did some very subtle blue ink blending, and splattered it with some soft brown ink.



Isn't the sentiment perfect? They all look like they're expecting something to happen. ha. Sometimes it just takes a little patience!

Next up, the very pretty Cat Lady:



The 2 kitties on the left look like they did a naughty thing, don't they? They're handing their cat-mommy a little prize.

I love how the set was designed so that the die cuts around the lady's hand so she could cradle her cat.



I colored her sweater and then used a slightly darker grey marker to add some tiny hearts. I would totally wear that outfit around the house!

That's all for me! I hope you like what I've created with these 2 new sets! So, are you a cat-lady or a dog-lady? Check out the EH store to order your choice (it could be both, lol.)
