Chicks go “peep peep,” ducks go “quack, quack” and bunnies go “hop hop.” That’s what my daughter said when she was learning to talk, so, this bunny’s name is Hop Hop.
Now, I must tell you that Hop Hop is not happy with me. Since she was my favorite thing in the entire catalog, she thinks I waited entirely too long for her to appear on a card. I tried to explain that her set is Easter Friends, and I was working on Valentine cards. But, she said she was a year-round bunny, and happy to show me that she would make a wonderful Valentine card.
She chose Memento Black Ink for her stamping debut, but stressed that she was cute in ALL colors.
While sitting on the shelf, Hop Hop decided she wanted to be framed with Pattern Party Designer Paper, cut with the large Eden Die. She thought this paper was perfect, because it was pink for Valentine’s Day, and an animal print. To fill in the background we used Sale-a-bration, Simply Marbleous Designer Paper in pink.
The dotted paper beneath the frame is also Pattern Party DSP, 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to a Thick White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Hop Hop
For the last details, Hop Hop said she was very huggable, and wanted to hold a heart from the Sweet Talk Designer Paper that says, “hug me.” She even told me how to cut it just the right size for her to hold.
And, in case someone wouldn’t recognize this as a Valentine card, she said I should stamp “Happy Valentine’s Day” (Sweet Conversations Stamp Set) in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and use an Eden Die for cutting. Plus, this would give her an excellent place to stand.
At the last minute, Hop Hop wanted to add a bow of black & white, Playful Pets Trim. I’m not sure if it was because of the name, or the color. She does like her “playful” friends, and you will meet Peep tomorrow, and Quack in the future.
