I created this cute Easel card featuring the Bunny in Pocket Die.
I started with a piece of cardstock measuring 4.25 x 11. That is exactly half of a letter size piece of cardstock. I folded it at the 5.5 mark. That is in half. I then folded the "top" or the right side in half again. I simply folded it to the center fold line.
Here's a picture of the two folds. It is hard to se the center fold on the left, but it is there.
Next I took a piece of white cardstock and cut it to 4.25 x 5.5. I added a pretty patterned paper mat to the top. That mat measures 4 x 5.25. I put adhesive on the bottom half only of the top folding. Next I put the mat onto the top part and lined up the bottom and sides. So only half of the mat is adhered to the base.
Here's a view of the side of the card with the base. This shows you that the mat is only attached to that bottom half. Once that is done, I went ahead and assembled my layers and the main die onto the card.
Here is the panel I added to the "bottom inside" of the card. This piece acts as a stopper of sorts for the top piece. It allows for that piece to be on top.
Here you can see all the fun dimension the layers have. I put some foam tape behind the mats to get them a little extra dimension. I added a sweet little bow in a matching yellow ribbon.
All of these pieces with the exception of the pocket started out as plain white cardstock. I have used this sweet little die in a couple other projects, but this one has a gray bunny. The others I colored that sweet little bunny in more of a brown. If you would like to see those projects head over to that blog post. CLICK HERE.
Here's another look at my finished project.
The Dies I used to create this project:
I used the Stitched Scallop version. That one is currently unavailable, but this is an excellent alternative.
