CAS Easter Card

Happy Friday, it's Jeanne posting today.  I'm a big clean and simple (CAS) design fan.  Many of my cards are in that style.  When doing a CAS design I love using dies because they come out so crisp and graphic, keeping everything - clean and simple!  My card this week illustrates that.
These little bunnies from Some Bunny Loves You are adorable and highlighted perfectly by the color offset squares.
Out of white cardstock, I made an A2 side fold card base, then embossed a panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches and adhered it to the base.  I used this basket weave since I thought it perfect for that "Easter basket" look.
Next I die cut the bunnies from Sahara Sand and three squares each from white, yellow, pink and purple.  I used the third smallest square from the Cross-Stitched squares set.
I used a sponge dauber and Sahara Sand to edge the bunnies.  Then I glued on their little white tails.
For each of the three colored squares, I stacked and glued them, then offset a white square and glued a bunny on top.  Then it was time to glue them to the card front.  It was fairly easy to line them up on this card since the basket weave gave me a natural alignment tool!  A tip when lining up three items - do the top and bottom first then center the one in the middle.
For the sentiment I used a fourth color and die cut the Happy Easter Egg.  I love the playfulness of the font used in this die.
Using paper snips, I cut out the sentiment and adhered it to the front of the card.

Happy Easter

Hello everyone,

It Donna here to share with you an Easter card.  Easter is early this month....can you believe it is this Sunday!  My card I am using the beautiful ornate "Happy Easter Egg" by CottageCutz.

I have made an Easter Egg shaker card....oh what fun!!!


 Closer look at the shaker part of the card.....

Here is how I put my card together.....

The card is an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2)

The first layer on my card measure 4 x 5 1/4

I cut the rectange frame using two dies from the CottageCutz Retangle Set. I applied double stick tape around the back and attached it to the base of the card.


 For the shaker part of the card, I used the template from the piece of paper from the die that I cut out the Easter Egg.  I traced the inside of the egg so I could cut a solid egg for the back of the shaker.  I used my fuse to make the shaker part of the card, so I used the template to fuse the plastic piece to hold the sequins.


After cutting all my pieces and putting my sequins in the plastic egg, I added a little glue to the solid egg and put the plastic piece and the ornate egg that I cut.  I added a bow to give the card a little character and that is it!  


Thanks for stopping by, please come back again soon!
