Today the mailman brought me a package from Simon Says Stamp... always a thrill!
This time it contained, among other things, this set of stamps from Mama Elephant! I think this little bunny is just the cutest thing.
This really made me happy!
I thought the scrap of gingham paper looked a little like a picnic blanket. It's mounted on a Dienamics pierced rectangle, with a stitched heart, also from Simon Says Stamp.
It follows the sketch from Colours and Sketches
The next one is my ever favourite Penny Back chicken... guaranteed to bring a smile to my face!
You might have guessed that this makes me happy, (it makes me happy just to be stamping and colouring them) secondly the fact that she has some mail... especially if it contains some crafting goodies!
I love these stamps from Art Impressions , they are such fun and I also love the topic of this particular one... Wine!
Here I used a background embossing folder of corks from Darice, a paper pieced sofa, and an image coloured with Mirage Pens. The sentiment is computer generated in VNI Thufap2 font.
It was fun doing these cards!
Three fab cards, Chrissie. Your bunny is so cute, I've had this stamp set on my wishlist for a while...perhaps I should order it soon and give myself more happiness! Your chicken cards always put a smile on my face and as for wine, who doesn't like it?! Maybe not so happy the day after though ;) xx
ReplyDeleteWell all three of your cards made me happy - shouldn't really say it but especailly the wine one! Thanks for using the sketch from CC&S for your super cute bunny card.
ReplyDeleteThese are all lovely Chrissie. I am definitely going to find time to play along this week. Please could you tell me which font you used on your last card?
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous set of cards they certainly made me smile!
ReplyDeleteI love that cute bunny and the fun image with that great sentiment made me chuckle!

Excellent cards, Chrissie... they make me happy too! Could I just ask the name of the embossing folder you've used for your third card??? Its a beauty, as is your card! Jo x
ReplyDeleteI've added it Jo... it's a corker isn't it! (te he)
DeleteIt's Darice!
What fabulous attention to detail, Chrissie! Thank you, Jo x
DeleteThe bunnies are gorgeous aren't they? Amuses me that we both bought them - independently!
ReplyDeleteCute, gorgeous and fun cards in that order and all make me happy and smile. Xx
ReplyDeleteAll great cards Chrissie - but the Art Impressions makes me the most happy - I've always loved them and am going to have them in my store in March :-)

I love your sassy lady card, Chrissie, and how perfect to have a cork ef for the background. That bunny is just darling and of course I always get a kick out of your chicken cards.
ReplyDeleteAll three cards are super Chrissie! The one holding the wine has the right idea...lol!
ReplyDeleteA great selection of cards as ever. A glass of wine sat on a settee.....what could be better!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see what makes you happy. :-) I like all three cards. Fantastic work.
ReplyDeleteHi Chirssie,
ReplyDeleteMy fave card is the very one you've posted. I like the sentiment, images and the coloring and the design and what a fun challenge. It also reminds me of one of my fave current songs that's popular world-wide (a 24 hr. music video is on-line), called Happy by Will Pharrell. I find myself
singing it all the time because it makes me happy doing it. I have lots of ideas swimming in my head so I'll be posting. Hope you're having a great weekend.
These are all so fab, Chrissie! What really shines through all these cards and your post is the fact that having FUN makes you happy!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI like your cards! Espesially with the sofa and glass of vine! Love it)
ReplyDeleteAll three of your cards are fantastic examples of CAS crafting! I'm especially partial to the adorable Mama Elephant bunny. Thanks for making CAS Colours & Sketches one of the challenges you joined! :)
ReplyDeleteThe bunny is so cute!! Great how the gingham gives it so much more interest... And your story of the new fautteuil and translated to the LIM-card is perfect! Love those Art impression stamps... Have a good week, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteI love all of these cards Chrissie - the last one is very me too, but the first one is my favourite - the check panel and that oh-so-cute bunny, guaranteed to make someone happy!
ReplyDeleteYour 3 "Happy" cards are so happy, thanks for a fun challenge :)
