CottageCutz: Easter Parade

Hello Friends

It is Pam sharing with you! Happy Leap Day!

I am starting my Easter cards because this incredible holy holiday is early this year. I will be featuring the Spring Parade die on a slimline card base.

Design Steps:

1. Start by using the Windows Slimline die cut out of white card stock. Next cut 3 pieces of DP measuring 2 3/4 x 2 3/4. The card base is white card stock measuring 3 1/4 x 8 1/4 when folded and also cut a extra piece of white 2 7/8 x 7 7/8

2. Use the Spring Meadow die and cut out 3 pieces of the shorter grass and 3 pieces of the longer grass in green card stock. Glue the shorter grass to the back of the slimline window frame. Using the Fence & Grass die cut out 3 pieces of the fence in white. Glue the fence pieces to the blue DP squares and then add the longer grass to the front of the fence. Glue the squares to the extra white piece measuring 2 7/8 x 7 7/8. Make sure that they will be even when you place the Slimline Window die on top of it. Before attaching the Slimline Window die add dimension tape to the back of it. Then pop it over the top

3. Use the Spring Parade die and cut out the bunny in gray, light gray, black, orange, orange striped DP and pink. Cut out the sheep in gray, black and white. Cut out the duck and chicks in yellow and orange. Assemble the pieces using a fine tip glue

4. Add the little critters to the card front using dimension dots and tucking their feet in between the grass layers. I cut out the little sign using the Bunny Gnome 3 in brown and stamped Happy Easter

5. Using the Spring Meadow die cut out flowers in 3 pink and 5 purple. Also cut out 3 pink butterflies using the same die. To give the flowers a little shape I used my stylus
