Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! This is my last Sneak Peek card for the week. Karen Burniston's February 2026 release will be available tomorrow and I am so excited to see what all the Peeps create once they get their new dies. The new release consists of 10 new dies (including one brand new die set and three add-ons!) and 5 new stamp sets. The new release will be available on Monday, February 2nd, 2026.
My card for you today uses the new Stage Pop-Up along with the Grass Stage Add-Ons. When I seen the Grass Add-On, I knew I needed to make an Easter Card. I love the Tiny Trees Pop-Up set and I thought it would be perfect to make an Easter egg tree for my Stage Pop-Up.
For this pop-up, I started by die cutting the Stage Pop-Up and Grass Stage Add-Ons from green cardstock. I die cut the two trapezoid pieces that go on top of the stage base from smooth white cardstock. Then using Distress Oxide Ink in Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness, I created a grassy background. I splattered it with dark green and black water colour paint and then white Copic opaque paint. I set this aside to dry.
I added Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink to the edges of my Grass Stage Add-Ons border, just near the top as the sides and bottom wouldn't show much. I added some polka dot patterned paper to the grass band. Then I set this aside to start working on the decorations.
For this card, I dug out all the Easter dies Karen has. I used the Easter Charms, Spring Animals and Easter Borders. I started by die cutting two egg borders and four of the egg fronts from smooth white cardstock. I trimmed the eggs into four, which, in total, gave me 6 egg borders. I added two of the egg fronts on each egg border, leaving two eggs just coloured. I coloured everything in with Copic markers.
I then die cut the bunny and chick from smooth white cardstock and coloured them in with Copic markers. I die cut a hopping bunny border and trimmed off a few little white bunnies. Then I die cut the small eggs for the tree. This was the die used to make the three small eggs in the basket that the bunny holds. This was a lot of work, but worth it. I coloured each egg in with Copic markers.
I also cut a carrot border and I cut out some of the bigger eggs in the Easter Charms set. I coloured these and set them aside. Then I die cut the Tiny Tree. I cut the base and trunk from a dark brown cardstock. Then I cut the tree foliage from smooth white cardstock and added Distress Oxide Ink to add colour to each cluster. I made sure I added colour to the front and back.
I then started putting my card together. I glued the two trapezoid pieces to the top of each stage piece, then die cut my little slots where I wanted to add my bunny and chick. I also die cut the little paper pieces to come up through the slots. Then I glued the base together. I added the Grass Stage Add-On, glueing that in place. Then I added the Tiny Tree to the top. Then I started gluing on the eggs. Once I had them all glued on, I added Glossy Accents to each section. I had to do this section by section, letting the eggs dry in between so nothing would run.
Once that was in place, I added the bunny and chick, adding some more of the Tiny Tree foliage to look like bushes. I added my egg borders around the base and added some carrots to the bushes. I added some of the little white bunnies and one of the bigger eggs. I then added my Happy Easter sentiment which I die cut from heavy weight black cardstock, pink and blue cardstock then glued together to make it sturdy and give it dimension.
Lastly, I added the sentiment on the bottom and the "push" so the recipient would know how to open the pop-up. I show this in the video below.
This was a lot of work, but worth it!! Thank you so much for stopping by today. Below is a list of the products I used to make this card. Happy Crafting!
