Hello there,
Michelle Short here, and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog sharing three cards using the Simon Hurley Happy Spring Collection.
This wonderful collection is perfect for spring and Easter cards, which is what I have created today, but a lot of the collection would work for all year-round cards too. Who doesn’t love a bunny on a card?!
SPRING BUNNY
My first card uses
Bunny Buddies, along with an older picket fence die to create a simple scene card.
To make this card:
TIP: I like to use either
tweezers or an embellishment tool to help place small die cuts down.
SPRING EGG
My next card uses
Bunny Buddies again, but this time with
In Bloom Egg. This is a great die as you can cut the floral pattern into the egg or leave it plain. You can also add the egg to a card base or create an egg-shaped card base like I have.
To make this card:
- Die cut two of the base layer of the In Bloom Egg from Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock.
- On one, add a scoring line towards the top to create a hinge. At the bottom of the egg, cut a little off using a guillotine. This will help the card stand up nicely.
- Add adhesive to the hinge and adhere to the other egg panel to create the card base.
- Die cut base layer of egg die again from Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock, but this time with the floral insert inside.
- Pop out positive die cut pieces and adhere negative to the card base.
TIP: I adhered the pieces inside with
Bearly Art Glue, but you can add a double-sided adhesive sheet onto the back of the cardstock before die cutting to create stickers with the die cuts. That way you can remove the backing and place them inside, like a puzzle, without having to add glue each time.
- Die cut Bunny Buddies bunny from Classic White and Blush ColorWheel Cardstock. Adhere together using Bearly Art Glue.
- Adhere to card using thin foam tape.
- Die cut ‘happy spring’ sentiment, the same as the first card, adhere together and adhere to the card so that the bunny is standing on it.
- To finish, add Glossy Accents to the bunny’s nose.
EASTER BUNNY
For my last card, I’m using
Bunny Buddies again but this time, pairing it with
Ornate Eggs 3D Embossing Folder. There is a stencil that works with this folder, so that you can colour the eggs using ink blending, but I decided to go simple today and simply use it as a subtle background for my bunny.
To make this card:
- Adhere panel to the white A2-sized card base.
- Adhere sentiment to card, followed by grass above.
- Adhere bunny and eggs on top with thin foam tape.
- Embellish with Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems.
- To finish, add Glossy Accents to the bunny’s nose.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my projects today. As you can probably tell, I really love those bunnies! I love that you can customise them to hold different objects – flowers, eggs, and even an Easter basket! Thank you so much for visiting today. I hope you have a wonderful day!
