~*~*~*~*~

So Easter is right around the corner - and on of my very favorite punches is the Easter Bunny punch. Unfortunately it is out of stock and expected back around May 15 - which is too late for Easter. But you could make some adorable cards year round with it - just change it up a bit - add a different sentiment, etc., so I decided to go with it.

Such a simple, adorable card - all of the DSP is from the Regency Park collection - the backs are very neutral and springlike - even the grass is from there. I cut vertical strips along the top of the grass strip and tucked the little bunnies in between them - then put a dimensional behind the heads of each of the bunnies to pop them a bit. The blue layer behind is the beautiful textured 12x12" shimmer paper-really adds a subtle shimmer. Here is how I finished off the inside -

And the envelope was done simply with the sentiment stamped in varied generations -

I hope you got some inspiration from this card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop March 2022 - Animals and Punches

 Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for March 2022 - featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you this month - all spotlighting - projects that have animals and use punches!

~*~*~*~*~

For my project I made a very personal card. Well, actually since these are difficult to make when needed - I made several for my stash. I recently found out a friend lost her best little buddy - and needed a card to send her - so I made some dog (and some cat sympathy cards as well) to have ready for future.

Pet sympathy cards - and human sympathy cards are tough. I love that the Pampered Pets set is adorable, but still has this lovely sentiment for the loss of a pet. Although, it could also be used appropriately on a human sympathy card.

#152520 - Price in U.S. markets $21.00*

For my card I also used the Heart and Scallop Heart punches as my punch choice as they were just so fitting with the sentiment -

And to get the little bitty hearts I used the die below - picked out the little hearts and colored them with a Poppy Parade (PP) Blend. I could have just die cut out of PP, but had a scrap of Basic White there so used it.

I finished by cutting the dog, as well as the food bowl, out with the appropriate dies, coloring them with blends and popping them up with Dimensionals.

I hope you got some inspiration from this card. Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love any comments!
