Minimal,but heart warming.
I included printable lettering for you here below, in case you prefer it more then your own writing ;)

Materials:




I choose brown square cards from Poundland.
Some I kept it square...




and some I cut in half.



The idea for the woodland card came from an old cookie cutters I had it for years.


I followed the shapes using fine tip pen.


Then painted in white.



When the paint dried I drawn a new outline and hare's eye with a thicker tip pen.


I cut out desired fragments of the shapes - toadstool hat, hare's ear and tail.





Then glued them onto cards.


Using cotton stick we make dots on toadstool hat.



Next was little details using fine pen...



and forest foliage.



I also added red fruits so it looks more Christmassy...


and silver and gold touches on leaves using metallic pens.




When cut out lettering from the printable I decided to add burn effect to the edges of the paper.



And glued them on.


Next finished them with a little framing.




Ta da!




I'm very pleased with this cute simple cards :)






They also easy enough for your kiddos to join in ;)



Here's step by step in one for you, to make life easier ;)

  1. What a pleasure to discover your blog! Paper and art supplies are a little hard to get in our small northern town, so as soon as I get what I need I will be pulling out my cookie cutter collection... actually I have them out all ready imagining what cards I can make! Wishing you a joyous, creative, fun, filed 2017.
