Let the Sun Shine in!

Here's the cutest bunny girl from artist Sandra Caldwell of Babycakes Doodle This and That.  She's got some goodies in store for you this month!  They will happen on three different days this month and she's already posted a fun greeting and the most wonderful message about it (her plans for this month--and me too!!).  Practically made me smile and cry at the same time!!  See HERE!! What a wonderful artist.  I really do love her designs, I buy from her digi site and get stamps from Queen Kat who sells her designs in rubber format.

Later in the month, there will be three special days with goodies just from Sandra Caldwell!!  Read about that HERE!!  She's got FREEBIES coming for YOU!!!

Project Materials:  Cardstock (Bazzil, Neenah);  Digi-Stamp (Sandra Caldwell); Ink (Colorbox Chalk);  DieCut (Spellbinders Nestabilities);  Sentiment (Memento); Ribbon (Prima);  Adhesives (Pop dots, Glue All, Glue dots, Ribbon Glue); Color (Copic Markers);

Per a question yesterday--the die on yesterday's card was from Spellbinders

WINNERS---the list is begun!! (Note--if you see your name on the winner list, please email Holley your address Htondre@aol.com)  You are eligible to win more than once.  I anticipate several people will :)

Pre-game contest--KarinsArtScrap

2/1 winner--contest still open--leave comment on the 2/1 date


FOR Today's COMMENTS--- game--Tell me your favorite paper to use for cards?  do you use paper or do you buy premade cards?   I guess personally I often just use paper, I am sure for those of you who look at my "project materials" list, you notice that my most common paper for card bases is Bazzill.

My favorite paper to use for card bases is Bazzill smoothies ~ I like the sturdiness of it. I sometimes use premade card bases, too, especially if I'm using a white or cream base. Thanks so much for the chance to win!!

I rally like that image. Such a cute card. I usually use heavy card stock to make my cards. No brand in particular. Since I am a paper horder I can't keep track of where I get it from.

Sue in CT said...

Very cute card Holley! I love the bright colors although she looks a little sad, it is a happy card.

I use Georgia-Pacific paper for my base. It is not the best one for the job but it is available at Walmart, doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and you can color with Copics on it.

As for the card and printed paper, I use whatever I have. I have some I don't even know what the name is but if it is pretty, I buy it..LOL.

postalorphan said...

What a darling image - great coloring job, too (as always)!
As for paper, I use Wausau that I buy from Office Depot (or Max - I always get them confused). It's a pretty good weight for cards and it holds up well with my Gamsol and pencils.

Ardilla said...

Beautiful card!
I buy white cardstock for the card base and then some dp from different companies... Where I live is not easy to buy paper (there is only one paper shop) and to buy from abroad is too expensive because the shipping :)
Hugs,
Ardilla

Very cute card! I use Marco's Cougar paper for my white and ivory card bases. I use SU and Bazzil for colored card bases.

Phyl said...

LOL she is adorable. I also like Bazzil card stock, buy most of my stuff from the paper temptress. I like the fancy and shiney papers too.

Ilove your card the colours are fabulous I use several types of card I craft on a tight budget so if I find a good card I will keep a note of where I had it from, I also use pre made cards

DJ said...

Love your card. When I am making cards I use a plain cardstock, either white or colored that I get in packages at Walmart or JoAnns. It holds up well and I can spend more on fancy papers and embellishments.

Cards by Sharyn said...

Definately Bazzill for me. Love all the colours. Thanks for a chance to win

This image is just so cute. As far as paper goes, I use alot of Stampin' Up paper and also paper from Paper Temptress. I hardly every use premade cards.

Nikki said...

Hi Holley she's an adorable card :)
I use Cardstock for my bases in whites and creams mostly with heavier/fancy DP on top. I have used other base papers from Bazzil to Basic Grey but not often.

Love this unique image. Must admit I haven't gone into digi stamps as I still prefer mine as rubber.

I use mostly Stampin' Up! cardstock and Designer Series Paper.

Loving all the dies you are using. I think I will have to get some more of them too.

Unknown said...

This is an adorable image Holley. Love that ribbon you have used too.
I buy alot of pre-made cards but now and again I do make my own but I don't use anything special really, smooth long grain white card and cut it to size.

I love Bazzill but I use a variety of papers for cards as long as it is quality cardstock! I sometimes use the pre-made packs for white/off-white for convenience and cost-savings and then use my scraps to build. Your card is cute as always! Have a great day!
