Craft With Barbara Drake


MEASUREMENTS:
Card Base: A2 size - 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"  Basic White Thick
Layer: 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White and Scraps of Basic White for Sentiment and stamped images.
Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue: 1" x 5-1/4"
Pear Pizzazz: approx 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" for the Wreath

INSTRUCTIONS:

Glue the 3 strips of cardstock to the Basic White layer. Leave a 3/8" border on each side (this helps to line up the strips better.  I start with the Polished Pink, then the Balmy Blue and it's easier to center the Daffodil Delight.

Using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder (as shown in the video) put the layer with the 3 colors of cardstock through the embossing machine.  Adhere this to the card base. 

Die cut the wreath die from the Natural Prints on Pear Pizzazz cardstock and adhere to the card. 

Stamp the Easter Bunny, Carrots, Flowers and Sentiment on Basic White cardstock.  Fussy cut out or if you have a Brother Scan N Cut you can use it. Use Stampin' Blends to color the stamped images. 

Using dimensionals on the stamped images (Carrots and Easter Bunny) add to the wreath. 

Use glue for the floral stamped image above the wreath and for the sentiment.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the Easter Bunny on Daffodil Delight polka dot cardstock from the 6 x 6 DSP Assortment pack and used the Easter Bunny Punch.  Glue to the inside bottom of the card and using the grass die from the Playful Piggy cut out on Pear Pizzazz cardstock. 

Decorate envelope if desired. 

* THE EASTER BUNNY PUNCH IS BACKORDERED UNTIL MAY 15, 2023.  



EASTER BUNNY STAND UP CARD

STAND UP EASTER CARD




I was inspired by this layout from a card my sister sent to me for my birthday.  So I decided to give it a try with the Easter Bunny bundle. (and she was inspired by a card that Lisa Curcio made)! 
I love all shades of purple and since Easter is right around the corner, this is my creation of it!  I hope you like it!
Directions forthcoming.....
