Easy Peasy Bunny

This is an easy card that you can make in 20 minutes or less.

Materials needed:
Marina Mist card stock 5 1/2 x 8  1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Delicate Dots patterned paper (retired) 4 x 5 1/4"
Birds of a Feather patterned paper (#126899) 2 1/2 x 3 3/4"
White card stock
Watercolor pencils
A Little Bit of Spring stamp set (#126011, retired)
Regarding Dahlias stamp set (#130327)
Framelits Labels dies (#125598)
1 3/8" Circle punch (#119860)
Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430)
Decorative scissors
Marina Mist ink

1. Run a medium sized die centered on the delicate dots patterned paper through your Big Shot machine.
2. Cut the top edge of the patterned paper with the decorative scissors. I used a grass cut. Adhere this to the back of the 4 x 5 1/4" paper positioning it at the middle of the label die cut.
3. Adhere this to the Marina Mist card stock leaving a small border around the edge.
3. Stamp a bunny on white card stock. Color the bunny with watercolor pencils. Cut the bunny image carefully around the outer edge. Stamp a greeting with Marina Mist ink on white card stock. Punch out the greeting with the circle punch. Rub the edge of the circle on the ink pad to ink the edges.
4. Place the bunny above the paper in the center of the card. You may overlap some of the bunny on the paper, if needed.
5. Place Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the greeting circle and adhere to the bottom left side of the card.

Punch Bunny

I made this card using a bunny that I made from my punches. The bunny is really easy using punches.

1. Punch all your pieces out first.

You will need 2 white ovals using the small oval (#120908) punch and 2 pretty in pink small ovals.

Punch one white oval with the extra large oval(#119859) punch for the body.

Punch 2 white ovals with the large oval(#119855) punch for the ears.

You need one white circle from the 1 1/4" circle (#119861) punch for the head and one small pink circle using the 1/2" circle (#119869) punch.

2. Cut the 2 small white ovals in half to use for the feet and arms. Place a small amount of adhesive onto the cut edges of the small white ovals. Slide these under the bottom of the extra large oval for feet and under the upper half of the extra large oval for arms.

3. Place adhesive on the back side of the small pink circle and place behind and above one of the feet so that it sticks out slightly.

4. Place adhesive on the back of the small pretty in pink ovals. Place those on the center of 2 large white ovals for the ears. Use a bone folder or your score board to score one of the ears about 1/2" from the top so that is will flop over. Attach these behind the head with adhesive.

5. Put the head over lapping the body.

6. Using your SU! markers draw a face on the bunny and toe & finger marks on the hands and feet. I used Marina Blue for the eyes, Pink Pirouette for the nose and mouth and Early Espresso for the whiskers and eyebrows.

7. Tie a bow in a piece of 1/8" organdy ribbon from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad pack that you can get free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration (until March 31).  Attach it at the bunny's neck with a glue dot(#103683).

8. To complete the card, I used patterned paper from the Flirtatious Specialty(#122360) pack cut 4 1/2 x 5 1/2." I used the small oval punch to cut out some "eggs" for the bunny. I cut the ovals in half and tucked the bottom part under other paper.

9. For grass, I punched Old Olive card stock with the Pinking Hearts border (#117649) punch and place it just barely over the bottom of the bunny.

10. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes(#115370)[Yes, I use this set ALL the time!] I popped it out with my Word Window punch(#119857) and mounted it on the Modern label (#119849) punch cut in Old Olive. I attached it with a brad from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad pack.

I think this will give me a cute Easter card for one of my grandchildren. Hope you enjoy it.

cute Easter card

I hope you have a wonderful day today. Remember, this is the day our Lord was put on the cross to die for our sins. The important part is that on Sunday, he arose from the grave & live in heaven now.

This cute Easter card is one that I made last yr. I didn't use Stampin' Up! products on it but, even though I do love Stampin' Up! products, I do have loads of other things too!
1. The paper pieced bunny is really easy to make. I used 3 hand drawn piece on white cardstock (SU! Whisper White is great) but you could used a Cozzule oval to make the large one. The shapes look basically like you see here. One large oval for the body, 2 elongated ovals for ears & the 2 shapes that look like ovals with a bump on them for the feet.
2. Cut the shapes out & ink the edges with Passion Pink.
3. Use the large oval for the base. Glue the 2 feet shapes on the front near the bottom of the oval. Glue the 2 shapes for ears on the back of the oval at the top.
4. Use a fine tip pen like SU! Stampin' Write Journaler to add features to the shapes. I drew long ovals inside the ears, lines on the feet for toes & whiskers and dots for eyes on the face. I used a small pink triangle for a nose.
5. I found ready made bows in pastel colors & attached with glue dots as shown. You could make cute bows out of 1/4" ribbon.
6. The paper I used for the card background came from a 6x6" stack from Nana's Kids that I got at Hobby Lobby. SU! has some really cute designer papers that could be used for backgrounds.
7. I put dimensionals on the back of the bunny so it would pop.
8. On the vertical card, I used a 1/4" strip of Lavender lace cardstock and added a few Easter stickers to dress this background up.

Have fun making these cute Easter cards. I know some kids will love getting them!
