Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! It's been a while since I've posted a card and I apologize for that. Both my kids have been sick and then my hubby got sick. So it's been a crazy couple of weeks, but I'm back and I have a fun card for you today.
I used Karen Burniston's Playful Pop-Up and Animal Add-Ons 5 die sets to create this super cute Easter card. I love how the Animal Add-Ons can work on the Playful Pop Up and now I'm curious to see just how many I can make work!
I stated by cutting an A2 sized card base from a light yellow cardstock. I then added some pretty patterned paper I just picked up from Echo Park called Easter Basket. I also cut two 1" wide strips using the back side of the paper and set these aside.
I die cut the Playful Pop Up mechanism pieces from heavy weight cardstock. I know Karen suggests light weight cardstock, but unfortunately I never have very good luck using light weight cardstock, so I use heavy weight. It's a little more bulky, but it's strong enough to handle the moving mechanisms. I added packing tape to the piece that moves the tongue. This was a test to see if it made the movement smoother and I found that it did. I die cut the piece that goes on the top of the pop-up for the face. I decorated this before adding it to my pop up.
For that, I die cut the cheeks, tongue and whiskers from the Dog and Cat Playful Add-Ons. Then using the Animal Add-Ons 5, I die cut the bunny ears, nose, eyes and arms. I coloured in some of the pieces with Copic markers. Then I added my face pieces on to the top Playful Pop Up piece. I glued it on to the mechanism. I added Glossy Accents to the eyes and nose and set it aside to dry.
I then die cut the pieces from the Animal Add-Ons 5 to make the basket and carrots. I coloured these in with Copic markers. I also die cut two borders using the Easter Borders die set. I coloured the eggs in with Copic markers.
Once my eyes and nose were dry, I added the pop up to my card. I tested to make sure the ears and arms would work and they did, perfectly! I added my borders along the side, starting with the two paper strips, then I used a sticker border that came with my paper pack and then added my egg border. I added my basket of carrots, testing to make sure there were to catch points.
I added a label using the Greetings Labels and from that same die set, added a banner with a sentiment stamped on it from Lawn Fawn's new Stamp and Stencil Easter Eggs stamp set.
For the front of my card, I reversed my paper, adding the cute bunny paper as the background and the pink paper to my oval. I die cut two ovals using the Ovals - Crosshatch dies. Then I used the Woven Basket Box Card Pop-Up and created a basket for my smaller oval. I added the Easter Charms to the basket, colouring everything in with Copic markers.
I stenciled clouds on to my background, then glued the basket down and trimmed the excess around the oval. Then I glued the ovals together and added it to my card front. I die cut another banner and added another sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Eggstra Amazing Easter stamp set.
