A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Easter Bunny with Chicks, and a Snowman with Pressure

For Stamping Sensations (Birds, Animals), ATCAS (Bunny), Festive Friday (Easter - I picked yellow, bunny, and Easter sentiment from the list of options), Shopping Our Stash (rabbit or chick), and Double D (Easter):

Stamped, watercoloured, trimmed with a stitched rectangle. I thought of doing the chicks' little sweaters and the ball of yarn in various colours but I'm going to send it to my sister and her favourite colour (like mine) is blue, and keeping it to blue reflects the colours in the Double D mood board (see below).

I've been away visiting family so didn't get any Christmas cards made for two weeks, so now I'm back, I'm getting some quick ones made to keep up with my goal of 8-10 a month.  Did this one for Can You Handle the Pressure "Dry Embossing and Your Favourite Colour" (and as I said above, blue is my favourite colour).

I used a narrow snowflakes embossing folder on the top and bottom of a mini slimline card base.  I stamped the image in blue, trimmed the panel, ran the ink pad around the edges, and popped it up on fun foam.

  1. The cute bunny and chicks on the first are really sweet and fun Susan and beautifully coloured, and the snowman on the second stamped in blue is another lovely image, and the bands of snowflake embossing top and bottom complement it well. x
