I am so excited to share the brand new Easter Blessings (SKU 4886) with you today! I've been itching to do a pop-up card for a while now, and this seemed to be the perfect stamp set!
I used this double sided patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs as my card base - the colours inspired me, and it helped to keep my layers to a minimum, and not make the card too bulky. Here's the inside:
I started by cutting an oval shape from some teal cardstock. I scored it in half, then cut the tall skinny flap to glue the bunny to, and the two narrow flaps which will hold up the fence:
The clouds were really fading into the background, so I added some lime circles behind them which ended up really pulling the colour combo together!
Here you can see the depth of the pop-ups a bit better:
Celebrate Spring comes with four main images, and the two sentiments I've used on my card - perfect to use for Easter or just a spring greeting card. Happy stamping!!
