Last week, I posted a crafty haul on Instagram and my boys got right into some of the supplies to make travel notecards for each other since my husband was travelling. It has been our tradition for many years to exchange little cards ahead of each trip.
Damian combined three Essentials by Ellen stamp sets to make his card: Bear Ware 3, Bear Ware 4 and Backyard Party. He coloured them with Prismacolor Pencils before using the coordinating dies (links below) to die cut the images.
He used a My Favorite Things A2 Rectangle STAX die and masking paper to blend distress inks for the background. I love how it turned out!
Chris used Background Party for his card, which is hilarious. He coloured his card with Copic markers and added action lines with a Copic multiliner. The scene reflects the antics of our outdoor pets and perhaps the stuffed animals in Damian's collection. 😂
The notecard die is from the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit from May 2016 and it's one of our most-used dies! These kits are limited edition and once they sell out, they are no longer available. However, there are constantly new, exciting and unique dies in every monthly kit so be sure to check it out.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
