A friend asked me if I would make a card for her grand-daughter in New York, who had just graduated. Immediately my mind went to BoBunny's Peacock Lane, setting out on my table from a previous layout. Initially I thought about the "journey" cardstock sticker, ran an idea past her, and off I went to make a card.
Once I began looking at the Peacock Lane stickers and papers around me, I spotted this phrase, "life is a great bundle of little things." ohhh...the mojo kicked in! Today's cards are not fancy. They possess no brilliant technique. They were quick to make - thanks to BoBunny's coordinating papers, dot cardstock and stickers. There is little real life dimension - due to the fact that the cards are being mailed - however, the beauty of BoBunny's cardstock stickers is the "built in" dimension created by the design utilizing drop shadows. If you have little time for card making, reach for BoBunny coordinates!What I really want to share with you today is the versatility of the "bundle of little things" sticker. You can take that phrase and gear it towards a number of occassions.
For the requested graduation card, the inside reads, "Make each one count, and your life will be BIG! Congratulations graduate!"
It is also perfect to welcome a new baby. "Life is a great bundle of little things." Inside: "But none can be sweeter than your new bundle of joy. Congratulations!"
For a birthday, how about giving a bundle of fresh flowers, and creating a card or tag to go with, that reads, "Life is a great bundle of little things." Inside: "May your birthday be filled with little things that bless your heart."
I hope today's little post has given you some ideas on making a card with BoBunny's cardstock stickers. Remember, handmade cards do not have to be fancy to be special. It is the gesture of making a card that warms the heart most.
Happy creating,
Rita S.
