Happy Easter Bunny Shaped Card

I had such a fun time creating this bunny shaped card!  I decided to do this for the Bunny Week Challenge Mary is having at Cardz TV.  I got this bunny from the now closed Little Dreamer Designs.  It was designed by Nancy Kubo.  As I am always late to get on the band wagon, this was my one and only purchase from this store.  I had not really looked into it until Jin at Under A Cherry Tree had posted about the store closing on her blog.  When I saw these bunnies I knew I had to have them!  This card was also inspired by Jin and the way she creates her shaped cards.  I created the base using a rectangle so the card would stand on its own and there was room for a sentiment.  Of course Make The Cut(MTC) was used to do this.  First I had to convert the bunny graphic so it would be traceable in MTC.  Jin has a wonderful tutorial on her blog which shows how this is done using Photoshop.  I used Photoshop Elements 7 and it worked just fine.  I also printed the "Happy Easter" from MTC.  And yes Jin has a tutorial for that too!  I finished off the front of the card with some hand cut "grass" at the bottom, some googly eyes on the bunny, and some stickles.  Since I can print from MTC I like to print my inner sentiments from there also.  It's really easy, I don't even have to use the hinge method as there is enough leeway that it seems to print correctly.

I think this adds a nice touch to the card.  I dare not say it looks professional, but I think it looks nice!  Hope you liked my card and have the time for a comment- it's nice to know someone is out there every once in a while!   Have a great Sunday evening!

Catching Up- Happy Easter! (In July)

Just thought I'd do some catching up with an Easter card I made. I got the directions for this pop up card at Scrappy Go Lucky. I don't have the fancy gel pens and holder, so I did my best with my cheap Staples pens and a pencil grip on my Cricut to write the Happy Easter part. This card was extremely fun to make and well worth the time spent! I love that chocolate bunny! I made this a while ago so it's hard to remember everything in terms of paper but I believe most of it is DCWV. The bunny is from the Easter 2010 cart (which I love!) and the grass is from Plantin Schoolbook. I had to alter the grass on my Gypsy to make it fit right on the card. I used plenty of stickles on this one as well. Thanks for looking, and have a great day!
