Friends are For

Today's card is a general occasion feel-good kind of card with this cute little donkey paired with the lovely Friends are For sentiment.  I'll be giving this card to a very dear friend for no reason other than her to know how much she is appreciated.

It is always nice to receive a surprise gift from a friend isn't it? I don't always get the chance to do this but sometimes my friends do something so nice and  unexpected that it is nice to give them a card and gift to thank them. 

This stamp has more of a spring feel to it but I wanted to challenge myself to make it into a fall feel card. I am also hoping to inspire you to find different ways to use the stamps in your stash. Changing the colours and paper can take a versatile stamp like this one and make it easy to use for any occasion or season. 

After colouring my stamp with alcohol markers, I cut it out with a stitched rectangle die. I added silver Wink of Stella to her earrings for a little bit of bling. The sentiment was stamped and mounted on matching cardstock. Some twine and enamel dots finish off my card.

What Friends Are For

I have a confession... I am having way too much fun playing with the new Woodland Friends release from High Hopes Rubber Stamps! 

It is fun to work with winter images that are all about friends and friendship! 

My card today features: "Seeds Of Friendship" and the "Friends Are For" sentiment from the new release. 

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and then cutting it out with a stitched rectangle die. I added some Liquid Applique for the snow. While that dried so I could apply heat to puff it up, I grabbed my patterned paper.

I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with a fishtail banner die. I cut another banner in my cardstock colour and added it.  

I cut out the pieces for my layout and once the applique was dry, I puffed it up and added it to my card. I added a flower and some die cut leaves and some gumdrops - my fav!
