Orange You Happy

Good morning, today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Incy Wincy Designs and their challenge is to make an ATC card. I've only made one ATC so I had to look up the dimensions (3.5" x 2.5") and once I got used to how small the card is, it was easy! I printed off this little hungry guy (Doodle Pantry Cherry Nice Mice) and cut him out as well as the orange to pop up. I stamped the background with a marble

stamp and added the border punch, very easy. Drop on by and give the Incy Wincy Challenge a try!

Punched Bear Valentine

I made this bear for one of my workshops, with very little stamping, AND for my husband lol! I've already made my valentine gift, yeah! I made a second bear, changed colours and voila a baby box.
