Textured Tunnel Easter card

 Hello friends. I am happy to present this fun interactive Easter Card for The Funkie Junkie Boutique!


This is such a cute card! Even cuter when standing!


I have a complete video documenting the process HERE:


Do the Die Cutting

The new Vault Bunny and Chicks Die set is sooo cute! Start by die cutting the Wildflowers from watercolor cardstock and using Distress Watercolor Pencils to add color. Hint: Leave the blooms in the negative space to allow easy coloring!

Choose 2 shades of pink plus white and black cardstock for the Bunnies. Once Die Cut, glue together and edge with Lost Shadow ink.



Create a few eggs using different types of white cardstock. Glue the layers together and splatter with Speckled Egg Distress Ink.

Create the Card Base

Create the card base using 2 5.5 inch x 8.5 inches pieces of white cardstock. Overlap the two pieces over the center section and die cut an oval window in both pieces. Use the front panel as a template, lining up an A2 panel of Mixed Media Heavy Stock. Die cut another Oval piece.


Fold the card bases so you have an oval on top and in the middle of the card. Trim the right full panel to 1/4 inch and use red tape to attach so the ovals line up.


Use Intertwine Embossing Folder to impress on the A2 Heavy Stock A2 panel. Smooch Tea Die Distress Ink on your craft mat and smoosh the embossed piece in the ink to add color.


Once dry use Collage Medium to attach to the card base.

Assemble the Card

Start by centering a few blooms, a bunny and an egg on the center panel. I drew a faint pencil line outlining the oval prior to adding any pieces.


Trim any stems that overhang the base.


Next add the wildflowers, bunny and egg to the right closed panel, arranging so you see the second layer.


The last step is add another wildflower (I used the large daisy like image in addition to a third bunny and egg)

Add Sentiments

Using Black Ink of your choice, stamp Happy Easter and hippity hop on White cardstock. Trim Happy Easter into a banner shape adding two additional cardstock layers for depth. Glue to the lower front section.

Trim the hippity hop so the banner runs the width of the center panel. Glue in place.

Faux Floral Pieced Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Today I am presenting this bright faux paper pieced card for CutCardStock. I had way too much fun playing with this one!

Create the Base Layer

Start by dry embossing the Zero Waste Flower die from Altenew by layering the embossing pad, 100 lb. White Cougar Cardstock and the die between the plates and run through your die cutting machine. Always follow the manufacturer's sandwich instructions. This technique provided raised areas on which you can add color without cutting all the way through the panel.

Use alcohol markers to color all the raised images. There is no need to be careful as We will die cut a cover later in the process.

Check out the resulting hot mess! Do not worry, it will end up a beautiful card.

Create the Cover Piece

Select a piece of coordinating colored cardstock. In this case, I used Lessebo Hunter Green Cardstock. I love the contrast created. Die cut a single A2 panel to finish the card base. Glue the colored cardstock piece to the embossed panel, matching up the images.

Create the Sentiment

A shadow die is perfect for this technique! Cut the shadow using a very heavy Vellum. Die cut the smaller sentiment using Lessebo Bubble Gum Cardstock. Center the smaller sentiment and glue to the Vellum Shadow and glue together. Add to the front of your faux pieced panel.

Lucky Day Shaker Card

 Hello crafty friends. Today I am posting for CutCardStock. The card today is a fun shaker card using a selection of the new Lessebo line of cardstock. I am preparing for St. Paddy’s Day with this fun green shaker card!

Create the Lucky Day Shaker

Start by creating the shaker portion so you can build the rest of the card to fit. Using Cougar 80 lb. Natural Cardstock, die cut the base and the frame using This Calls for Confetti small rectangular shaker card kit. Die cut the word Hi using Concord and 9th’s Everyday Saying Die Set from Hunter Green Lessebo Cardstock. Place the frame on the base so you can place the sentiment in the center. Glue the sentiment in place. Add Leprechaun Gold Confetti from This Calls for Confetti to the shaker form. Remove the adhesive cover and attach the base. Glue the frame around the shaker form on the front.

Create the Card Base

Trim Hunter Green LesseboTaupe LesseboNatural Cougar and DCS Moss Cardstock into 1/4 inch strips. Apply double sided adhesive (5.5 x 2.5 inches) in the center of an A2 Natural panel. Apply the strips randomly to the adhesive. Attach the shaker window in the center of the strips.

Create the Shamrocks

Use the Sizzix Luck/Love Embossing Folder to Cut four shamrocks from Hunter Green Cardstock. Swipe Gilded Foudray Wax on the leaves and heat set. Use form tape to pop the shamrocks up on the four corners. Attach the panel to a Natural card base.
