Happy Easter Card

Here is one last Easter card that I sent out.  This is an old SU stamp set, but I always liked it.  I love the dancing rabbit among the eggs and flowers!  I used Thick Whisper White CS for my base.  I used Lemon Lime Twist for my layer, which I embossed with my Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  I then used my Spellbinders Oval Die and cut a hold in the center.  I backed it up with a sold piece of Lemon Lime Twist CS.

I stamped my image and then cut a smaller oval for my image.  I colored it in and popped it up in the center using dimensionals.

I used my two different size butterfly punches, making the larger one in Melon Mambo and gold, and the smaller one just in Melon Mambo.  I dressed them up with some rhinestones.

Then I used my favorite stamp again for the inside with some DSP to dress it up.  I love Easter and am sorry to see it go.  I love using all the different bunnies and flower stamps to make cards.  We had a fun weekend.  We had our Easter on Sat. which turned out great as the weather was nice and warm.  The kids had a great time with the Easter Egg Hunt and eating all the goodies.  We woke up this morning to 8 inches of snow!!!  Fortunately, with most Spring snows, it is melting fast but another storm is expected for this weekend.  It looks like winter doesn't want to lose its grip!  My Craft Show is this weekend, so I hope it won't be too bad.  Have a great week!

Easter Bunny Card

With all my craft time spent making goodies for the Wellness Center and Easter closing in next week, I decided I had better make some cards to send out.  I saw this cute bunny card on Pinterest and decided to make some.

Recipe:

Stamps - Tiny Wishes - SU, sentiment from Michaels
Paper - Pretty and Pink, Old Olive, Chocolate Brown - SU
Accessories - Fringe Scissors, Swiss Dot Embossing Folder, Punches

I made this an A2 card and embossed my layer of 4" x 5 1/4" with my embossing folder.  I cut a piece of Old Olive 1" x 4" and used my fringe scissors to cut it so it looks like grass for the bunny to sit on.  I adhered it to my layer and then using my 1 3/4" punch for the body, the 1 1/4" punch for the head and the small oval for the ears created my bunny.  I used my white craft ink and lightly sponged the edges of my bunny to give it some dimension.  I used my dimensionals to pop up my bunny on the layer and slipped my holiday greeting underneath.  I tried several types of glue to attach my little cotton tail but finally found that my glossy accent worked the best.  I put a punch on top it for awhile to make sure that it stayed put.  These bunnies are frisky little fellows!!

I used this cute stamp I had found in Michael's $1 bin last year for the inside of the card.  I thought it made my card complete.  Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter preparations.  The girls don't have much time off due to all the snow days they have to make up, but they still have Good Friday off which they are looking forward to.
