A Beautiful Bouquet for the Random Act of Kindness Blog Hop!


Welcome to the Random Act of Kindness (RAK) Blog Hop. You are visiting Karen Henderson in the UK. I am showcasing the cards I have given as part of the Random Act of Kindness Group on Facebook.

Each month, we each select a few people from the Group to send a RAK card to, to brighten their day. Please feel free to join the Group if you would like to participate in the RAK cards movement (blogging is not mandatory). If you would like to join our awesome group here is the link to the group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/randomactsofkindnessgroup/

These are the cards I have made.



I joined this group a while ago and I have been watching beautiful cards being sent and received.  This month I have participated!  I have just returned from the post office having sent my first batch of cards off in the post.  I had fun making up the cards and I'm so happy that I have made them and sent them.  


I used the Beautiful Bouquet bundle with its delicate flowers and stylishly written sentiments.  I have stamped two sprays of blossom like branches onto the oh so versatile wood textured paper and continued the tree theme by using the Pinewood Planks embossing folder on the Rich Razzleberry layer - I love the texture this creates.  Old Olive die cut leaves are added together with the stamped and die cut flowers to complete the bouquet.  This adorable sentiment is stamped onto a circle of wood grain paper and in turn layered onto shapes punched from Rich Razzleberry and Early Espresso.   The final finishing touches are a twist of natural ribbon with a hint of gold and a spritz of Wink of Stella (a spray made from alcohol and Wink of Stella).


I hope that this project on my blog today has inspired you & brightened your day. You are currently visiting Karen Henderson. Please see the list below & hop around all of the people on the list to see all our projects. You don't want to miss any!

Sweet Little Something Congratulations!

Time has flown by and it's time for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights for April!    The gallery is sure to be filled with adorable projects because the theme is BABY. 


The best bit about this Highlight is that you can vote for your favourite five projects.  I'm excited to be taking part again and I would love it if you would vote for my project HERE.



The top ten winners will get the chance to be part of an international blog hop so I would really appreciate it if you would VOTE for my project. 


Our house is home to a huge collection of adorable cuddly rabbits.  Each one has a name (usually related to the person or event from which it originated) and they come in a wide variety of colours and sizes.  The naming convention extends to our real live rabbit who is called Amy, because one of the Blue Cross assistants where we adopted her from was called Amy!  All the rabbits are very much loved!  So, this cute and cuddly rabbit seemed the perfect image to use to congratulate and welcome a new baby.

I have teamed up Powder Pink with Berry Burst cardstock to make my card, but I've only used Berry Burst ink for the image which is built up in layers  - full strength for the most detailed image, stamped off once for the middle image and stamped off twice for the final solid image. 

After cutting the letters out, mini dimensionals were my best friend to mount them back on to the card allowing the darker Berry Burst card to shine through.


I hope my cute baby bunny card appeals to you.  Please visit the gallery and VOTE for my card HERE.
