Sweet Bunny Card

Hello Friends!  Hope you're having a great day today.  It's gray and rainy today, so I thought I needed to share something soft and cuddly with you.   This sweet little bunny just makes me smile, and I hope you like it too.

When making this card, I was planning on it being an Easter card.  But now that it's finished, I think it would make a terrific card for a little girl's birthday or even for a new baby.  The colors just shout out to me babies and little girls.  What do you think?

The card starts out with a cardstock base of Petal Pink that's cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded in half.  The next layer is Mint Macaron that's cut 4" x 5 1/4".  To give this layer some added interest, it was die-cut with the Stitched Greenery die.  I love the delicate stitched lines that remind me of the stitching designs in quilting.  This would be so pretty on a quilt, wouldn't it?  It's adds such a great background for so many different types of cards from outdoorsy to sweet.  Just changing the cardstock used makes all the difference in the world.  

After running it through the machine, it was added to the card base using Dimensionals. 

Next is a layer of the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper that was available during Sale-a-bration.   If you were lucky enough to get this DSP and stamp bundle, I hope you're enjoying it.  It's definitely a big favorite of mine!  This print is Petal Pink and white and just the sweetest look.  I paired it up with the Stitched So Sweetly dies for this card to get a lovely, scalloped-edge layer.  This is the 2nd largest die in the set.

To match this, the next smallest die was used to die-cut a Basic White piece.  This is the perfect size to stamp this sweet bunny.  The bunny is from the Easter Friends stamp set in the 2022 January-June Mini Catalog and is found on page 36.

The bunny was stamped with Gray Granite to keep it a soft look.  A little Basic Black Stampin' Blends was dotted in on the eyes to make them more defined.  And just a small touch of Petal Pink Stampin' Blends was added to her little twitchy nose.

I decided to angle the two layers instead of putting them on straight up in the middle to give the card a more playful look.  The DSP layer is added with adhesive, but the white layer is popped up with Dimenisonals.

This little bunny wanted a pretty pink bow to dress her up a bit.  I used the Petal Pink ribbon from the 1/8" Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack on page 43 of the Mini Catalog.  (The Misty Moonlight ribbon is very nice too and will be shared with you soon.)  The ribbon was tied into a small bow and attached at the bunny's neck with a Mini Glue Dot.

I decided not to do anything on the inside yet. I can't seem to decide just what occasion I'll be using this sweet bunny to commemorate.  But I'm sure it will be for a girl!  Maybe I should make another card right away for Easter like I was thinking of making in the beginning.  What a good idea!

Don't forget about the fabulous sale going on for the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine at 20% off.  And the 13 different stamp and die bundles that are 20% off also.  Love the spring savings to get you going this month, but only this month!  Orders need to be placed by March 31st to get these savings.  And when placing your order, please use the Host Code shown at the top right corner of my blog page.  It would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you've been energized and inspired to get your stamps and papers out to make some pretty cards.  Isn't this the perfect card to share on a gray and rainy day?  Hope it adds some sweetness to your day.

Happy creating and stamping,

Sharon
