Yes, It Is a Holiday - National Superhero Day

Image
   Hello everyone and welcome to another "Yes, It is a Holiday" or "Yes, It's a Holiday" blog post.   Today is National Superhero Day and I am pretty sure that we can all use a Superhero these days to make things right in the world.  Marvel employees created this day in 1995 to celebrate everyone's favorite superhero and to honor those who serve and protect while fighting evil.   Check out all the cool info about today's holiday below.   https://nationaltoday.com/national-crayon-day/ I don't know if I have a favorite superhero but if I had to pick one...it would be Dr. Strange.   In honor of today's holiday, I made this fast card using the Parker the Superpiggy stamp from Stamping Bella  (retired) that I had in my stash.

Happy Easter with Bunny Butts

Hello everyone!  I know that Easter is right around the corner and, as usual, I am late in getting my ideas out of my head.  But today I have a super fun and quick card for you that I hope you love.  And a short blog post.   If you wish to make this card too, here are the supplies I used: Bunny Butts stencil from A Colorful Life Designs Innocent Pink , Sea Glass , and Lemon Drop inks from Gina K Designs Mini Blending Brushes from Gina K Designs Easter Wishes Mega Collection from Snap Click Supply - this is the digital version of the Easter Wishes paper collection from Echo Park.   I started by making a top-folding A2 card base out of white cardstock to which I adhered one of the papers from the Easter Wishes Collection from Echo Park.   Then I printed one of the solid colors from the same paper collection, cut a piece to 3.5"x 5"and adhered it to the center of the card front.
