A happy hello

Hello! Have you seen Jennifer McGuire's new Share Handmade Kindness campaign? She is encouraging folks to spread kindness, and that is just awesome! For week one, she would like people to give handmade kindness to friends/family. So, I made this card with my Nana in mind this evening. I get these beautiful Painted Buntings at my backyard feeders in the Spring. My Nana stops at my house for a few days on her way back up North from wintering here in Florida, and she loves to see them. I'm basically obsessed with Painted Buntings...and my Nana. ♥ Anyhoo, I used the gorgeous A New Day stamp by Wplus9...and I turned it into a Painted Bunting with my Copics. The greeting is from the Hand Lettered Hello set by Wplus9. Not gonna lie...I freaked out a little bit adding a ginormous greeting, but I think it totally works. Yay! :)

Please take a minute to check out all the deets of this campaign HERE. Jennifer rocks.

p.s. My Nana is gonna flip over this card. Super yay! 

And just so you don't think I made up a rainbow bird...LOL 

A little Birdie told me...Bird-day Card

Happy National Scrapbooking Day friends!!! I finally finished My Pink Stamper's Challenge #2 which was to use scraps. Buy the way, she is now on 7, I'm a tad slow. LOL Anyhoo, I used my gypsy to design this to make the most of some tiny scraps of PTI cardstock. The sweet little birdie is from the Create-a-Critter cartridge and her cute flower has a glittered brad center. The branch is from the Songbird cartridge which I cut twice in brown and in green so I could hand cut the leaves. I used a punch for the flowers on the branch.

I love the sentiment I came up with for the inside! ;o)

Well I hope you're having a wonderful NSD!!! I know I am! I hope to "see" you over at the AboveRubiesStudio live Ustream chat at 8ET tonight!

Scrappy Hugs!

Nikki

p.s. I did put this in my new Etsy shop. ;o)
