From Elizabeth Craft Designs

Hi! Welcome to a little bird crafts. Are you ready for spring? I always find the change from winter to spring weather rejuvenating: fresh leaves and bright flowers, baby animals, and even some spring cleaning.

I was so excited to get the new Elizabeth Craft Designs’ Card Lab Collection with its Planner Card Box and various card options. I’ve wanted to make this type of card system for a long time. So, today’s project was a lot of fun to make in combination with the new spring and summer themed Sunny Days Collection of stamps and dies.

Let’s get started.

The paper cardbase is from the Colorful Collective pack die-cut using Planner Die 3. “Happy Easter” was stamped on white paper and cutout with a circle from the Tag Variety Pack. It was trimmed and attached over the round tab.

I colored Soft Finish Cardstock with yellow Distress Ink then die-cut the circle of flowers (also Planner Die 3). When moving the die, I tried to keep the inside pieces in place, then chose the flowers that I wanted to inset. I lightly colored those pieces with crackling campfire Distress Ink. The flower circle was attached with glue and the colored flowers reset using fine tip(!) tweezers.

The sweet rabbit was also cut from Soft Finish Cardstock. I lightly blended brown Distress Oxide over the neck, belly, and edges. I carefully trimmed the left paw so he could hold the carrot. A fine tip black Micron pen was easy to add detail to the nose and eye. I added a little eyelid with the marker then a white dot for a highlight on the eye. The rabbit and carrot were attached with glue.

The eggs were cut from more of the Colorful Collective paper. I added a tiny white dot to the flower centers of the orange paper. The white dots seemed to balance the white on the project and the orange flower at the top balanced the orange. Leafy carrot top die-cuts made cute little tufts of grass. When these were adhered, this spring project was complete.

I hope you enjoy this project. I’d love to know what you’re creating.

Happy crafting!
