Now onto my card for today. I am featuring the new Bunny w/Butterfly die and created an Easter card for the two little ones that live next door to me. So let's get started with some details on how I created my card. 

Design Steps:

 I started my card this week with my layout. I found this sketch #845 over on Splitcoaststampers and decided to use it. The layers would allow me to use designer paper to create a festive Spring card. 

I looked through my designer papers and decided on these two coordinating patterns. I used the largest Stitched Square die for layer #2 and the largest Square die for layer # 3. For the background layer #1 I found this piece of light card patterned paper. I cut it to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and secured it to a white card base. 

For layer # 4, I used the 3rd largest stitched rectangle die. The width was fine but the height needed to be re-sized to 1 3/4".  I forgot to take a photo during the cutting process of the designer paper. So I repeated the process for you to see with cardstock. I cut the shape first 

and then measured at the 1 3/4" mark 

and placed it back in the die and ran it through my BigShot.

Here is the finished size. 

For layer #5 I used this piece of light purple cardstock and resized it to 3/4" x 3 1/2"using the same method.  I stamped my sentiment in a grape ink on this panel using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the placement.  

Next, I cut the bunny and butterfly images. I used colors that complimented my designer paper.

Now that all the card elements are prepared I am ready to start assembly. I secured the gray patterned paper to the card base first with double sided tape. Next, I attached layers 2, 3 and 4 secured to the card base. 

Added the sentiment strip with double sided tape.

I attached the bunny image using dimensional adhesive. I scattered a few enamel dots to finish off this card. 

I hope I have given you an idea with the image + the sketch for this new die.  See you next Saturday!
