Easter Bunny Basket and Card

 

Todays Facebook Live event  was my last Easter Card and Basket for this year.

The basket is easy to construct which is what I like.

I made up a template to help with the score lines and where to cut.

Materials 

Basket DSP paper 6" x6"

Handle DSP paper 1"x7"     

TomBow glue

Stapler

Scapes of basic white card stock for stamping

Measurements

Score base 1-7/8" and 4-1/8"

Rotate 90 degrees

Score 1-7/8" and 4-1/8"

Now you need to partialy score to the first score line at 5/8",        1-1/4", 4-3/4", 5-3/8" also mark with a pencil 3"

Turn 180 degrees and repeat

Draw Diagonal lines from the 3" markto intersecting lines to form a triangle.

Now cut along the 3 score lines to the first score line and remove the triangle.

Fold and burnish all score lines.

Bring side strips together to form the side of the basket using the triangle as a placement guide glue into place repeat on the other side

Burnish your handle to give a curved effect now glue to the inside of the basket I also stapled together for extra strength. 

Stamp your Easter Bunny, carrots and Easter eggs from the stamp Set colour in and glue to basket.

I also added a tag with a sentiment and tied it to the handle with bakers twine

All finished.

You can watch my video by following the link below

I cased this card from the StampinUp! Jan to May Mini Catty I added a pop up inside the card for a bit of fun.

Materials

Balmy Blue card stock 21cm x 10.5cm folded in half and burnished

I cut the middle section out of the DSP Rain or Shine 10cm x 14.3cm glued to the front of the card.

Now a piece of basic white using the "Stitched Rectangles Dies" the largest and the 3rd largest to make the frame and glue to the DSP.

For the sentiment I used the  "Stylish Shapes Dies"

I stamped the bunnies onto basic white card stock, you can colour as you like, I added a carrot and a butterfly as well as the garland to decorate the bunny neck.

To jazz it up I added a little pop up inside the card  with Happy Easter Sentiment


The mechanism is basic white card stock 2" x 5" scored at 1" intervals glue the sides together to make a rectangle cube

Add glue to two sides and place in the fold of the card and close the card and hold to let the glue dry, Once dry open the card and decorate the front side of the mechanism with Happy Easter and Easter eggs, I also glue a bunny Rabbit to the back wall above the pop up.

Hope that makes sense watch the video it will help with the explaination.

Slider Cards Stampin'Up!

 

I love this fancy fold, I have made five different examples. 

I have done a youtube video to help you with putting the card together. Link below

Remember to follow my blog and subscribe to my you tube channel while you are there , your interest helps me a lot.

Supplies  for the "Count on me" card

Front panel is Daffodil Delight card stock cut to 41/4" x 81/4" scored at 5 1/2"

Back panel is Daffodil Delight card stock cut to 4 1/4" x 5 3/4" scored at 5 1/2"

Inside panel is basic white cut at 4 1/4"x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

Basic white card stock 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" 

Garden Green card stock 3 1/2" x 4 1/2"

2" circle punch

Layering Diorama Dies

Count on Me Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Your choice of blender pens to colour in the Kangaroo and Koala

bakers twine

Tear and Tape Adhesive

Black ink

Method

Cut and score all 3 pieces as per supplies instructions

Cut basic white with the 3rd smallest diorama Die Cut

Cut the Garden Green card stock with the 4th smallest diorama die cut.

With your punch lined up the top and side edge of the front panel, then punch the 2" circle.

Now fold the middle panel in half and line the basic white card with the front panel and trace the inside 

of the circle.

Take out the white Inside panel and line up your punch with the traced circle and punch out.

Next step is to trace the punched circle again on the basic white back panel and punch, now you should have three punch circles.

With the Daffodil Delight back panel fold the scored edge up and add tear and tape which just fits this small edge.

Attach the back panel of the basic white to this tiny folded edge on the Daffodil Delight back panel make sure it meets up perfectly.

On the small basic white diorama piece stamp your Kangaroo and sentiment "I've got your back" colour in as you like, add a small bow in bakers twine.

Glue to the garden green diorama piece and glue to the front panel.

Before you attach your front panel please stamp your sentiment through your cirles onto the back daffodil delight panel "Through thick and thin, COUNT ME IN"

On your front daffodil delight panel place in line with middle basic white panel and tuck the scored section between the middle and back, as you open the card it will slide into place and trace with leadpencil the circle position and pull back out. Now turn over and stamp on the right side passed your score line in the traced circle stamp your Koalas and colour in.

Final step applie glue to the middle panel and attach the front panel lining up the edges and circle making sure you tuck in your scored panel between the back and middle card stock.

Add bling if desired, this method is the same for all my different designs


I used "Nuts about you" stamp set on crumb cake card stock and basic white                                            



On this card I used Flirty Flamingo card stock and basic white in the middle. The stamp set was "Happy Hedgehogs"



 



This card is all basic white, I used "Shaded Summer" Stampset

I flick my blender pen in its cap to get the speckled look.

The bling is Brass butterflies.

 is Soft Succulent 
cut at 10cm x 14.3cm next the basic white layer is 9.5cm x 13.8cm I stamped the back ground using 
3rd generation stamping so it is a soft back ground in crumb cake ink but I did try other colours.
I stamped my images and die cut them out and arranged them on my card, tring different views.
Stamped my sentiment on two cards over the back ground, the next two card were stamped on scaps 
of card stock and dimentionals added to give them a lift.
