Teddy loves Ya!

Teddy always loves you and gives the best cuddles. I love this sweet image from Mo Manning, as I've seen lots of teddy hugs in my house. Whether my little ones were happy, tired or sad, teddy always knew exactly what to do!

Easel cards are simple and quick to create, but I think they have a large impact as they are just that little bit different. A diecut label displays the sentiment and acts as the easel stopper.  I've kept this card very simple, to let the image shine, only using diecut letters for the little girl's name and sequin stars to embellish the sentiment. 

I had some lovely flower-like sequins (perfect for her hair clips), but I resisted so I could play along with ABC Challenges. I'll just have to make something else to show them off!

Mo Baby!

Dimension is what makes an easel card tick, so perfect for Lawnscaping Challenge #60. I used lots of layers raised up on foam dots for my central image and my easel stopper/main sentiment. Lawn Fawn's Quinn's ABC dies were also essential kit! I love colouring these, and now with the dies they're so easy to cut out and the foam dots fit perfectly.

I've been admiring this Mo image for ages, so with a christening reminder to be made, I had to get it! I also gave some of the new bright Spring/Summer Promarker colours a whirl.

Happy Valentine's!

I really wanted the heart to be the focus of this card, so I coloured my heart thief from Mo Manning in shades of grey & kept my cardstock to layers of white on white with some Stickles for glitter & Glossy Accents for shine. 

Top Tip:

If your piece of cardstock is larger than your embossing folder, choose a pattern that you can easily match up & re-emboss with a pokey tool from behind.
