A Trio of Punch Art Bunnies Easter Card

Trio of Punch Art Bunnies Easter Card

I saw this idea for the punch art bunnies on our Demonstrator group on Facebook but I think I saw the same idea somewhere else online too recently. I thought it was so clever, I went straight for my punches and started making bunnies which turned into this A Trio of Punch Art Bunnies Easter Card!

This “punch art” as we often call something created using different punches that are different than what the punch is meant to be. I don’t know how people come up with these creative ideas, but they do! And the rest of us can copy!

To make these cute little bunnies, just use the Strawberry Builder Punch and the Ladybug Builder Punch. Punch the strawberry shape to make the bunny head. Punch the Ladybug wings to make the bunny ears! I left them attached but I suppose you could cut them apart if you wanted the ears to have different spacing. That’s all there is to it! Isn’t that a fantastic punching idea?!

Strawberry and Ladybug Punches For Bunny

I colored in the pink on the ears with the Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. I used the Light Petal Pink color to color some cheeks on the bunnies. The faces are just drawn on with the pointy tip of the Basic Black Marker.

The card base is Crumb Cake cardstock with a Petal Pink layer. I embossed that layer with the Gingham Embossing Folder. The background needed some texture and this folder is good for some generic texture! But it also kind of reminded me of the weaving on an Easter basket so that, of course, went with the bunnies!

The greeting had to be simple and not take up too much space. I wasn’t sure it would fit on this smallest rectangle die in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, but it did! These dies are retiring on May 2 which I hate! I used these dies a lot. I planned to layer the greeting, “Happy Easter” in the Celebrating You Stamp Set on top of a die-cut Crumb Cake rectangle but it was too big for the card and I like just the Basic White greeting better along with the bunnies.

I adhered the bunnies straight to the card because I wanted to add the tiny little Loose Flower Flourishes on the bunny heads and I didn’t want the flowers to stick up too much if I wanted to mail the card. Luckily these teeny flowers are pretty low so hopefully, they can go through the mail. I always add a piece of paper towel or maybe crimped computer paper to cover embellishments in the envelope to protect them from the post office machines.

Try making some of these bunnies! Bet you can’t make just one! You could use a brown or gray cardstock or maybe even the right pattern of designer paper. Just have fun with it!
