Bunny Easter Card

We have been so busy around lately, that I haven't had much craft time.  I guess I'm going to have to put it in high gear to get the things accomplished that I want for Easter.  It was so windy here today that we stayed inside most of the day and I finally got back to my craft room to start making some Easter cards.  I fell in love with the new bunny punch that SU put out with the matching Best Bunny stamp set.  Somewhere I saw this great idea for using this punch (or any with various punch outs) and it worked out so great!  The first thing you do is make a template with the punch.   Then I laid the stamps on the punch out.  Once they were all in place, I took a block and pressed down over them and viola!  Then you just stamp out how many you want and they are in perfect alignment to be punched.  I then put the template in the stamp set case for future use.

I used Whisper White CS for my base card, as well a my layer which was 3 3/4" x 5".  I then punched out my little bunnies in Whisper White and the bunny's body in Gala Gingham DSP and colored them in with my markers.  I adhered them together with my glue.


For my circles, I punched 1 with the 1 1/2" circle punch, 1 with the 1 1/4" circle punch, 2 with the 1" circle punch and 5 with the 1/2" circle punch.

I stamped my sentiment with Memento Black ink and glued my circles on first. 

Then I popped up my bunnies with dimensionals.  While watching one of Jennifer McGuire's videos, she used craft foam to pop up her entire layer, so I thought I would try it out.  I loved how it turned out. 

For my inside sentiment, I used one of my old favorites from Michel's $1 bin that I had for years.  I recently went to Michael's looking for something and their $1 bin is now $2.  I guess that's a sign of the times!  I also decided to add some circles with left over scraps.

Instead of hoarding the rest of the scraps, I decided to cover the flaps with the DSP.  I love this paper.

Thanks for stopping by,
