Merry Christmas

Apologies for the rubbish photo, no matter what I do the lighting is terrible at the moment. I bought this Sizzix die in the sale this summer and finally took it out of the packaging this week. The die cut beautifully through some matt gold cardstock and as a bonus you can save the letters to use on another project. Great for batch making I simply placed the die cut on some coloured card and mounted it on a 5x7 card blank. I added some glossy accents to his nose and sprinkled on some red glitter before it dried. The stars fall out of the die and are shown on the packaging as being hung from the antlers, but I just added them randomly to the cards.
And now, gratuitous bunny photos. Willow is now 12 weeks old and a bit over 800g. I've never known such a cuddle bun. She will happily sit on your lap and be stroked for 20 minutes and then complain when you stop! She will groom you back and does a very thorough job of licking your hand. Parsley is more than happy to let Willow get all the fussing, he thinks humans are only good for bringing food.


Willow and Parsley are still living together happily, but trying to get a photo of both of them in focus and  facing in the same direction is rather tricky, even with a bribe of strawberry leaves.

  7. I love love love the die you have used here - where's it from? Using the mat gold card for the die makes these look like very expensive Crimbo cards! The bunnies are cute aswell. I 've never held a bunny so I don't know if it would scare me but then again I have a cat so it can't be that different!

  12. Hi Cara, I hope you are having a lovely weekend huni. I had no idea that some bunnies love to be groomed and groom back. They are so adorable, so very cute and Willow has grown so much! I partook in the Sizzix sale this year and got some gorgeous dies too, that reminds me I still have NBUS dies lol! Your Crimbo cards are gorgeous! That die is so Scandi-esque. Sorry I've not been around much it's because my meds aren't playing nice right now so I'm struggling big time. Hoping to get to see our GP soon. Thank you for the lovely comments you leave me, it means a lot Karen xx

  14. Hi Cara, a great new die and perfect for bactch making some Christmas cards, not to mention a great way to use up some coloured card scraps... Willow looks very content sitting on your lap and getting stroked, my neighbours dog nudges your hand if you stop stroking her as if to say excuse me but that is not nearly enough.... have a wonderful week...
