The Paper Funday Challenge #63 - Bunny Macaron

Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome to Wednesday!  Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog, where it's Always Anything Goes with an Optional Twist.  The Twist this month is:  The Dies Have It (use cutting dies in your design).

Our sponsors this month are the fabulous Not 2 Shabby and Altenew.  For my team project, I've used the Macaron Pets stamp set from Not 2 Shabby to create a cute Spring/Easter Card.  This set was the January 2022 Stamp and Die Set of the Month, so sadly not available for purchase, but N2S has many more adorable sets that are!


I've colored the image using Prismacolor Pencils, the patterned papers are from the "Spring is Calling" 6x6 paper pad by P13.  The image was die cut using the coordinating die, and mounted using foam pads on a stitched die cut banner.  The sentiment is from the stamp set.


To finish the design, I've added iridescent pink sequins from my stash for that extra bling a Bunny Macaron needs,  

We hope you'll pop in and join us this month.  You may just be 1 of 2 winners!  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Macaron Pets - The Colour Crazy Craft Challenge

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!  Today begins a new challenge at The Colour Crazy Challenge Blog and the theme is Always Anything Goes as long as it's handcolored.  This round is Just for Fun and for my team project, I've used the Macaron Pets Stamp and Coordinating Die Set from Not 2 Shabby to create a 5.5" square card.


This stamp and die set were part of a monthly subscription through the Not 2 Shabby Shop and were available while supplies lasted.  The Macaron Pets are adorable and an easy color because they are large with thicker lines.  I've colored using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, die cut using the coordinating dies, and popped each Pet on craft foam for dimension.


The center circle was die cut from an ink smooshed panel I had left over from another project.  I wanted something to "ground" the images and break up all the white.  The only Bells and Whistles added was a bit of Wink of Stella to the Macaron filling on each Pet.  The sentiment is also from the stamp set and comes with a coordinating die as well.

Please join us at The Colour Crazy Craft Challenges; there are 2 challenges going on simultaneously so plenty of opportunity to get in on the fun!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
