A Favor for the Party Elephant!

Hi Hoedown friends!  Kendra here today and I'm sharing this fun little party favor that I made using the Party Elephant digital image from Hambo Stamps.   Super cute huh?  

To make the pocket, I simply cut a piece of two-sided pattern paper 4" x 7 1/2", scored it at 4", and rounded the corners.  I used Scor-tape to hold it in place.  Then I wrapped some twine around it several times, tied a bow and added a some little happy birthday tags (from my computer).  Easy Peasy! 

Piggy Love & Hugs...

 Hi friends... Kendra here today with a little bit of piggy love to share.  I used the Floating Pig digital image, colored him with my Spectrum Noir Markers and then added some fabulous Valentine paper from Pebbles Inc.  I also used two separate embossing folders ~ Chevron and Petite Dots from Crafter's Companion for some great texture on my card. The layout of my card is for this week's SCS Sketch Challenge (SC470).

Have a great day!

Halloween Mummy

Kendra Wietstock, of Kendra's Card Creations, shares her fun Halloween design with us today. We are so happy to have Kendra returning to the Bacon Bits for another term!

Hi Friends! Welcome to the Hambo Hoedown blog with more daily inspiration!  Kendra here today with a fun little Halloween card using the Mummy Digital Image.

First I printed my image from my computer in the size I wanted. The great part about digital images is that you can make them any size you want! Then I colored with my alcohol ink markers. Since the background of my image is white, I wanted my mummy to stand out so I used a light gray marker to add just a little bit of color. The final detail was to add googly eyes on the cute little mummy!

Thanks for stopping by today ~ Enjoy!
