My friend Tom absolutely loves Peeps. He's never met a Peep he didn't like; in fact, the more sugary and weird the flavor was, the more he loves them. One year we found fruit punch flavored Peeps but have not been able to find them again. I hate it when that happens; you find something you love and they either discontinue it or stop carrying it. That happens to me ALL the time. Anyway, I thought this slimline card with some pastel Peeps might brighten his day a bit.
I used a homemade white slimline card and covered it in rainbow spotted paper. I stamped the sentiment using my favorite black ink on watercolor paper and colored it in with Zigs and used a black marker for the shadow. I then cut the sentiment out using a stitched nesting square die. Cutting out all the bunnies in shades of pastels really isn't manly, but I wanted to keep the spring feel. Their tails were just die cut out of white card. Lastly, I then used dimensional dots to attach the rabbits to the card and glued the sentiment onto the top of the card. Unfortunately, the stamps & dies {Simon Says Stamp, You're My Kind of Peep} are discontinued, but you might be able to find them online somewhere. I was lucky enough to find them in one of the Facebook Groups I belong to and it's the first time I am using them :)
I love these cute peeps and I feel the card is so charming! I hope this card brings Tom some joy and the very cool part is I am going to visit him {I am leaving on 5/29/22} so I will be hand delivering this card; I am SO excited! I thank you for visiting and appreciate you! Fondly, Christi
