Peeking Easter Bunny - Box cards - by Lynn Dionne

 Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!




Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating some fun and adorable "Box Cards" using the brand-new Ai Peeking Bunny Set (5870). This cute set includes an adorable bunny and bunny tail, as well as, a basket of eggs, a flowerpot with tulips, and a fun little cart filled with chicks and eggs. We are going to be using all of these images today to create three cards!

Let's start by creating the card base for this box card design. I have designed this to be a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" box card when folded. I will give you all of the instructions and dimensions for the box card base and all of the layering pieces in today's video. I'll also give you the complete instructions for the box assembly!

For the pretty patterned papers, we will use the Ai Easter Paper Pack (5742). This is a double-sided paper pack and will allow us to easily mix and match some patterns in the same color combinations. We can go ahead and add all of these papers to the cards.

Now we can stamp and color all of our sweet little images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Carmine, Peach Pink, Yellow, Pale Orange, Bright Yellow, Orange, Pale Green, Lt Green, May Green, Lt Blue, Cobalt Blue, Lt Violet, Violet, Dk Green, Beige, Lt Brown, Brown, Mid Brown, Platinum Brown, Lt Gray, Warm Gray 6, Dk Gray.

This set does include the coordinating dies, which will make cutting out these images very easy to do. Another wonderful thing about these dies is that they also cut a slit in the top of the pot, cart, and basket and it also cuts the paws on the bunny so that he/she can hold an egg, or sentiment or anything you like!

We will also die cut a scallop border for each of the boxes using the Ai Journal Template Set (5543). This can be glued onto the front panel of the box card.

Next, let's stamp a couple of sentiments for the front and back of the card using the Ai Easter Sentiments Set (5733) and this new stamp set. To frame these sentiments, we will use the Ai Journal Rectangle Frames (5591). This little scallop square will coordinate nicely with the scallop border that we die cut!

Let's go ahead and assemble all of the pieces onto the cards. The bunny will be holding the sentiment in its little paws.... which is just so much fun!

Using a white gel pen we can add some details to the eggs and highlights to the other images.

Finally, we can add a few iridescent sequins for some added interest and sparkle!

Thank you so much for joining me today!  Have a fun and crafty day!!!
