Chocolate Bunny

I had so much fun making this card with the adorable bunny from the Create a Critter cart. I also used some papers from the Alphabet Soup collection from My Mind's Eye, so cute!

I made the chocolate bunny and then used pinking scissors to "snap" the little ear. I thought that was appropriate since that's the best place to start on any chocolate bunny :) I used the Forever Young cart to make the sunglasses and then added some rhinestone bling.

I used a couple of embossing folders to add some flourishes to the carrot and some texture to the carrot top and flower. Then I added just a little more bling to the flower :)

On the inside of the card I added this little sentiment perfect for any Easter/Spring birthday.

Forever Young Embossed Purse

I used my Expression to cut a purse with all its layers using the Forever Young cartridge and then cut off the handle. Then I took the main piece and traced it onto a piece of folded cardstock so that it would make a card. I glued on the top part of the purse and ran the whole thing through my Sizzix with a Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl embossing folder. I added the ribbon handle, velvet rickrack, brads, and stitiching before gluing the front to the card base.

I used Dimensionals to make the flower layers stand out a little more and added a gem for some bling :) Then of course after using the Sew Easy paper piercer, I stitched along the bottom of the card.

I wanted to make a gift card holder because I always give away so many for birthdays, so I cut and sponged a piece of vellum and used a circle punch to cut out the notch.
I love challenges, so I combined a few for this card:

Cooking with Cricut - swirls
Simon Says Stamp - use brown and cream
Linda's Creativity - embossing
Fantabulous Cricut - embossing
The Paper Variety - stitching

Have a great day!
