Peep, it’s spring!
>> Tuesday, April 13, 2021
Hi Everyone,
I love this darling little Chick in Nest stamp, and while it's great for Easter, it makes for a great spring time hello card too.
I attached it to a background of embossed chicken wire and a stamped Checkerboard Background in yellow ink. I covered up the seam using some lace and burlap trim, embellishing with a pre-made yellow flower.
The peep greeting was made using only the word peep from the Favorite Easter Peeps Greeting and a word bubble punch.
For my scene on this card I stamped Frog Boy Cutie Pie Kid and then masked him off in order to create the sky and river bank behind him. I wanted him to look like he was standing in the creek catching frogs, so it tried to color over his feet and make the bottom of his overalls darker in color. I'm not sure how successful I was, but his little face is just so cute!
I stamped the Have I Toad You Greeting by splitting it in half, to fit inside a punch and added the I Love You Greeting, that was also made using a banner punch.
I remember picking dandelions for my mom as a small child, as a symbol of my love for her. Perhaps if I was a boy, I may have brought her frogs instead :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Karin, these are adorable! The chicken wire EF & burlap are perfect for your sweet little chick! You created a pretty scene for your second card with those rocks, stream & cloudy sky! Absolutely beautiful!
How cute these are, Karin! Love your little chick & the burlap w/ flower & chicken wire bg are perfect.Your little frog boy is adorable. Love the cloudy sky & rocky edge.
Karin, these are super fun and happy and cute! Love the way you did the chicken wire with the chick and the little boy is done with such a great sketch and colors. WONDERFUL cards and ideas for these new images/sentiments! Hugz
I love love love the bg panels on your first card!! i have that EF but forget about using it (it has sat forgotten for years now, poor thing!). i love the checkered border too and i think you grabbed my lacy burlap ribbon from my craft room, didn't you? LOL! the little chick on that scalloped square is sooo cute and the peep goes perfectly!! Why in the world didn't I think of that!! LOL!
Your second card, OMGoodness, couldn't be cutter! That would be my boy right there and that is just the thing he would have said! At 37 he still tells me all the time that he loves me! The only thing different is that Jake would have had a snake in each hand! We used to call him Jake the snake because he was always catching snakes! He was definitely our total country outdoor kid!
I love the sky and the row of rocks! Gotta remember to use those too!
Oh how I love that sweet chick and your EF is just perfect for it too. And the little boy and his frogs is just too cute. I really love him and love the card you made with him.
