Here is just a quick and simple card, the Easter Bunny Card. It is mostly made with pieces I already had handy on my table. Sometimes when I am stamping, diecutting, or coloring, I either change my mind about what I am going to use or I make extras at the time. Either way, I save those pieces and if they are lucky, I come across them again and use them on another project!
This card comes from one of the cut-apart panels in the Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper. I love this paper for its spring colors and images. If you thought about spring and/or Easter, you would likely think of bunnies, flowers, baskets, Easter eggs, and soft pretty colors, and you would be imagining this paper. This paper is thicker than regular designer paper so it’s great for 3D projects, and it has a metallic shine to many of the pages. In other words, if you think about Easter paper, this is it! One feature is a couple of sheets have panels to cut apart and use separately, many of which are great for starting cards or using on scrapbook pages. Just build a little scene for a card on these panels. There are all different ones.
This card has a Shy Shamrock card base, one of the coordinating colors. The layer on that is one of those panels in the Easter Joy Designer Series Paper. The panel just has a green grass hill and pink flowers all in the background. It wasn’t my favorite, but I wanted to use it. I had an extra stamped and die-cut bunny so I added him to the hill with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I had been diecutting Easter Eggs with the Easter Basket Dies (wish they added more than one egg die!) out of the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper. I also fussy-cut some Easter eggs from the Easter Joy paper that is totally full of Easter eggs. Some I cut a little inside their border to make them a bit smaller. I glued an assortment of all these eggs on the grassy hill with the bunny, as if he is the “King of the Hill” with all the Easter eggs!
The greeting is stamped in Memento ink on Basic White cardstock from the Easter Basket Stamp Set. Rather than adhering the whole greeting in one piece on the card, I cut around each word to make it a little whimsical to go with the card.
With the card background already made with the Easter Joy Designer Series Paper with these panels, finishing it off as a card is pretty easy! Especially with these cut bunnies to stamp in the Easter Basket Stamp Set! I really love everything about this Easter Joy DSP! And there are patterns that you can use any time of year, not just for Easter. The colorful stripes would be good for a birthday card, the plaids and other generic designs are great for lots of cards or scrapbook pages. The bunnies cute for baby cards!
Easter is coming soon on April 5th so it is time to be making Easter cards, decorations, treats, whatever you like!
