CottageCutz: Hippity Hoppity Easter Express

Happy Friday friends!

It's Kris sharing with you today. It's the first day of March, which means there's 30 more days til Easter! I have a few more Easter cards to make and today's turned out super cute, in my humble opinion. ☺ This slimline features the Bunny Express Engine and Bunny Express Carrot Cars along with the Spring Sentiments from the Spring 2022 release.

Design Steps:

My card base is 4" x 9" (folded). My next layer (SU! Berry Burst) is cut at 3-3/4" x 8-3/4" (I actually cut it 1/16" shy of those figures, but if you don't like working in 16th inches, you can easily round up to 3/4")

Next, I die cut a piece of blue/white gingham paper (Divinity Designs Polka Dots & Gingham) using the largest of the Nested Stitched Rectangles Slimline set. And for my main focal panel, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the largest of the Scalloped Stitched Rectangles Slimline set. I then sponged some clouds with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.

I cut a piece of (SU! Granny Apple Green) at 1-1/2" x 7-15/16" and I die cut the top with a die from the Grass Slimline set.

I die cut a piece of iridescent cardstock using the Picket Fence Slimline die and then trimmed it as shown in the photo below to look like train tracks.

I layered all those pieces onto my card base.

Next, I die cut all of my Easter elements from white cardstock and colored with Copic markers and then I assembled them. I popped the train onto the track with foam dots and I glued the sentiment to the top.
