I Can Explain... Funny/Apology Card ft. Honey Bee Stamps

 Hello friends!

Today I have a super cute card to share with you all that funny enough was inspired by real life 😜 I wish I could tell you that my kids get along and play well together, but in reality they don't. I think they love annoying each other and it sometimes drives me nuts😒

Anyways, I thought it would be cute to represent them in today's card. Since my son is the oldest, I thought it would be fun to make it look like he was the blue bunny, sitting (more like squashing) his little sister, the pink bunny! Thankfully, they are a little older now so it doesn't actually get physical, but when they were little I would find them like this all the time, lol!

To create the card, I began by stamping the bunny from the Blah Humbunny stamp set and then masking it. Then I stamped the bunny from Blah Bunny set underneath the first bunny. Next, I added my sentiment and heat embossed it. Then added the little bee in the top right corner and colored in my Spring scene. I began by adding some clouds to the sky using broken China distress oxide ink and using cloud stencil from the Outdoor Scene Builder stencil set. Next, I colored my images in using tombow dual brush markers. Once my coloring was complete I did some partial die cutting around the blue bunny to make it look like he was popped out and leaning forward on top of the bottom bunny. Finally, I die cut the front panel using the large rectangle double stitched frame and added foam tape to pop it off the card front.

To my inside I had to add my explanation...

and like all kids, (well mine anyways) there is always and excuse, haha.

So, of course the "Bee" did it! 

Sure they did!? 😇

Hope this humorous I Can Explain... Apology Card inspired you today. Sorry's are never easy.

I think a card like this would also make a great apology card for a friend, sibling or even a parent!

Sometimes you just gotta laugh at life :)

Welcome to the Neighborhood Front Pop Up Panel Card ft. MFT's Stamps and Dies

Hey Everyone!

Today I'm sharing with you another fun Interactive card ft. stamps and dies from My Favorite Things.  I made this Welcome to the Neighborhood Front Pop Up Panel Card for one of my very best and oldest friend's Susana. We met as children, she was 6 and I was 7. We grew up together and for a very long time we were neighbors, and now here we are 30 years+ becoming neighbors again as her family just moved into the neighborhood.

These cute little houses I used come from MFT's Home Sweet Home die set. 

Normally, Pop-up cards have their pop up elements on the inside of the card. But if you know me I like to be different and experiment with designs. 

So instead of a pop up inside the card, I thought it would be fun to do it on the outside panel. This way it the best part of the card could always be seen if displayed!

Here is a super close up of all the tiny little extras and details.

I love playing with the liquid applique, I always find it so magical when it puffs right up.

Added this coordinating sentiment to the inside of the card from the No place like Home stamp set .

For those that want to watch the card come together I have included a video, plus links below in the post to all the supplies I used. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already 😊
