Easter - Right as Rain

24 Carrot – March 2020 Spellbinders Small Die of the Month

Hello and Happy March! 2020 is flying by. Today I am sharing two cards created with the March Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “24 Carrot.” The set includes nine dies with which you can create spring- and Easter-themed cards. Let’s take a look!

My first card features the carrot and two bunnies on a playful card using the “What’s Up?” sentiment included in the set.

I began by cutting patterned paper for the card background.
I cut the carrot frame from orange cardstock. Using the negative piece, I traced the shape on to patterned paper. I cut the patterned paper and adhered the carrot outline to it. I added carrot tops cut from green cardstock. I then added the die-cut sentiment.
I cut the bunnies from white cardstock to which I added the ear pieces. The eyes and noses were inlaid.
The Easter egg, held by the bunny on the left, was cut with a die in the Festive Wreath Slider set.
I embellished with flowers and greenery on the left side.

For my second card, I placed one of the bunnies on top of a wreath constructed using the foliage dies included in the set.

To begin, I cut a circle from patterned paper to which I added the die-cut greenery.
I constructed the bunny as I did on the first card.
I stamped the sentiment on to patterned paper (panel measures 4″ x 4″) and added it to a white, linen-textured 4 1/4″ square card base.
I added the wreath to the card and adhered the bunny with foam adhesive.
I embellished the wreath with flowers.

Pom Pom Bunnies – CAS Easter Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CASE of an Easter card I saw in the store. I used the Oh Bunny die to cut the bunnies and added a sentiment from the matching stamp set. I went for bolder colors than the retail card, which featured more pastel colors.

I glued the pom poms on to the bunnies and then added the bunnies to the stamped card base with dot adhesive.

This card combines one of my favorite design elements – color – with one of my favorite design principles – repetition.

Cardstock colors (starting in the upper left): Bazzill Gumball, SU Tempting Turquoise, SU Cucumber Crush, Bazzill Juicy Pear, SU Daffodil Delight, Bazzill Circus Peanuts, SU Watermelon Wonder, SU Poppy Parade, SU Melon Mambo, and Bazzill Gummy Bear

Some Bunny Loves You – Die-cut Easter Card

Hello! I couldn’t resist playing again with the Spring Animals die set to create another Easter card. (You can see my first card using the set here.)

- I created the sentiment on my computer and printed it on the Bazzill card stock.
- I used a 4″ x 5 1/4″ die from a now-retired MFT Blueprints set to cut the sentiment panel.
- I cut and assembled the bunnies and cut the eggs from SU Pineapple Punch, SU Melon Mambo, and SU Gorgeous Grape. I used the Picture Book Love Bear die to cut the heart from SU Poppy Parade.
- After assembling the bunnies, I added them to the lavender panel with foam adhesive.
- I dry-embossed the white card base with the SU Subtle embossing folder for a linen-like texture.

Die-cut Easter Greetings

Hello! Today I am sharing an Easter card featuring Karen Burniston’s Spring Animals. I’ve followed Karen over the years and was excited to add these dies to my collection. She has a number of other cute critters that I’m considering.

I cut the Spring Animals pieces and assembled them (SU Daffodil Delight for the chick). The eyes and nose (on the bunny) were added with a pen by using the die as a stencil. This makes it easy to add those small details.
I used the Taylored Expressions Picket Fence Border and Cloud Duo dies to create the scene on which I placed the assembled animals.
I heat-embossed an older Reverse Confetti sentiment (Carton Cuties set) on a SU Cucumber Crush cardstock panel and added it to the rectangle cut from Taylored Expressions Sprinkles.
The light-pink card base was dry-embossed with the Taylored Expressions Flower Power embossing folder.

Simon Says Stamp – Happy Easter

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS Easter card featuring a background created with the Simon Says Stamp Folk Dance Stencil paired with the Oh Bunny set.

I dry-embossed light blue cardstock with the Folk Dance Stencil using the sandwich that Shari Carroll describes in this video. I stamped the bunnies and cut them out with their corresponding dies. I had the bunnies left over from the Oh Bunny stamp set projects shown in this post. I added 5mm white pom poms to the tails of the bunnies facing backwards.

Happy Easter!
