New Baby

 For a change I decided to make a Baby card, mainly just to fill a gap in my box of cards because I like to keep a selection ready for various occasions.  I started with a piece of blue background paper from my stash and then die cut the cute panda with a blue bow.  The next decision was to bring out these octagonal dies for a change and finally I added a banner with the wording.

I hear we're heading for yet another heatwave ... just when I thought the temperatures had become more bearable 🙄

Snippets Playground Challenge #510

 Time for another opportunity to use up a few  more of my Snippets on a card for the latest Playground challenge.  This time I've brought my favourite bunny out to play and he's sitting beneath a floral tree enjoying the sunshine and hopefully a cool breeze.  I started with a square Snippet of cream card slightly smaller than the card blank and cut out the tree aperture, backing it with another snippet from my box of papers.  This is a left over piece from one I printed a while ago onto some textured paper.  I then die cut the bunny twice from a scrap of the same cream card so that I could layer him up for a bit of stability.  Next I pulled out a snippet of some card which I'd treated to some inking and, again, this was really a left over scrap which many people would have binned. I'm sure.  From this I cut a series of small flowers and then used another die to cut a few random cream 'dots' for the flower centres.  A simple sentiment tag and that's another card made although not much of a dent made in my Snippets mountain 🤪
