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".

Woodland Bunny

I've got a very CAS card for CAS Christmas "Woodland Critters".  I chose one of the adorable Anita Jeram images featuring a rabbit and his little bird friend.

Simply stamped and watercoloured.  Then trimmed with a rectangle die.  I took a smaller sized thin frame die and cut it to fit around the image but leaving a border of white.  Then I cut the same size thin frame out of green cs.  I put it back together with the green thin frame in place of the white one and tossed the white one.  I put the panel on fun foam to create a bit of dimension.

Check out the other Design Team members' cards over at CAS Christmas and then come and join us with some woodland critters.

I'm also adding it to Christmas Cards All Year Round "Something Starting with R or S" (I have R is for rabbit) and the NBUS Challenge (it's the first time I used the rabbit stamp).

  2. We both used Anita stamps today, Susan - what a great sentiment - I think we all become kids again in not being able to wait for Christmas! Love the bird pulling on the bow and the cute bunny watching - pretty framing too! Julia xx

  3. This Anita Jeram image is so cute Susan and so prettily coloured, and I love the way you have used a thin green frame embedded around it which works beautifully, and the added dimension is perfect...a beautiful card. x

  11. I love Anita Jeram. Her images for CCC were so much fun. I'm glad I have a LOT of them and hate that they no longer have any. Your card is just so cute and simple.

  12. What a sweet bunny, Susan! Your soft watercoloring gives the scene such a warm, cozy holiday feel. I love that you fit the thin green frame between the white frame and the center panel. That's the perfect finishing touch!
