Easter is typically visualized in happy springtime pastels. But sometimes a sparkly Easter bunny fits the bill!
Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Green Border Layer: 4.25 x 4.25
Card Face: 4 x 4
Card Face:
- I positioned the stencil on the card face, securing it with Mint Tape.
- Next, using a palette knife, I added sparkly white embossing paste over all exposed areas. I removed the stencil, being careful not to smudge the design.
- Afterwards, I placed the stencil in water and put the card face aside to dry.
Other:
- I stamped the sentiment and used a tiny die to cut it out.
- I also stamped the tiny heart with green ink, added embossing ink with a pen, sprinkled it with holographic powder and set it with a heat gun. I used a punch to cut it out.
- Once the card face was dry I used a pokey tool to create holes on either side of the bunny’s neck. I threaded fine iridescent white yarn through the holes and secured this on the back with tape.
Assembly
- I glued the card face to the green border layer, centering on all sides.
- Following that, I added this to the card base, aligning to the left-hand edge, and leaving a white border on the right.
- I used metallic thread to attach the heart tag to the bunny’s collar.
- I added the sentiment to the upper left of the card.
- The finishing touch was the addition of three small green gems down the right-hand border.
Final Thoughts:
The sparkly Easter Bunny is really pretty: I didn’t want to add anything to compete with that, so I chose very soft green accents. I’m really happy with the end result.

Easter means bunnies, chocolate, and celebrating traditions created over the years. Sending a card is a wonderful way to send a hug to someone you can’t be with.
Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Border Layer: 5 x 4
Card Face: 5 x 4
Card Face:
- After laying the card face on my Grip Mat, I positioned the Easter egg stencil.
- I applied blue ink to the bottom and pink ink to the top, going back and forth between the two colours until I got a smooth blend where they met.
- After removing that stencil, I positioned the bunny stencil so that the bunny on the right was in the correct position.
- I masked off all necessary areas around the bunny and applied gray ink across the exposed surface.
- I repositioned the stencil to place the bunny on the left in the right spot, and again added gray ink after masking off all necessary areas.
- I used a punch on all four corners of the card face to create the peek-through design.
Other:
- Using a scrap piece of cardstock, I stamped the Happy Easter sentiment with Versamark embossing ink.
- I sprinkled this with silver embossing powder and set it with my heat gun.
- I ran this through my Big Shot and cut it down with a small banner die.
- I applied gray ink to the corners of the border layer. (This ensured a match to the bunnies on the card face, and was more economical than using a piece of cardstock.)
Assembly
- I put dimensional foam on the back of the border layer, and then glued the card face on top of this, allowing the gray ink to show through the punched-out design.
- I centered this on the card base.
- I glued the banner on top of the Easter egg, in between the bunnies’ hands.
- I added tiny rhinestones to the center of the flowers on the Easter egg.
Final Thoughts:
I love these two stencils together: I’ve been eyeing the Bunny Dance stencil for a while now, and I’m so happy that I got it.
