A quirky fluffiest bunny Easter card made using the Fluffiest Friends and Lazy Days stamp sets from Stampin' Up!

Fluffiest Bunny card – Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop where we are sharing Spring or Easter themed projects. I have used the adorable Fluffiest Friends stamp set to make a sweet Easter card for my daughter and son in law.

 

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the fluffiest bunny card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Bright & Beautiful dsp – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper left corner
Petal Pink card – 3¼” by 2⅛”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 2⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside

 

Using Lemon Lime Twist ink, I stamped the trio of flowers, from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set, along the bottom of the piece of Bright & Beautiful dsp. The clouds, from the Lazy Days stamp set were stamped using the same ink along the top. The dsp panel was then glued to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card.

A length of Petal Pink ribbon was wrapped around the panel and adhered on the back with Tear & Tape. The whole piece was then glued to the Crumb Cake card front.

The small panel of Petal Pink card was tucked under the ribbon and glued in place.

I die cut a label from the small Basic White card using the Something Fancy Dies. The sweet bunny was stamped onto the label in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added a flower on either side with Limon Lime Twist ink. Clouds were added to the label with Balmy Blue ink.
