Happy Easter to my girls 💕💕

Happy Easter crafty friends, today I am sharing the cards that I made for my darling granddaughters. Usually for Holidays I make them the same style of card but slightly different. This time I used the new Photo Gallery Pop Up and Papers from an Echo Park paper pack.

All the fun is in the reveal, to see this card in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page.

I pulled out the Echo Park paper pack and went through my cardstock to find matching colours. I wanted each girls card to be a different colour. I also selected the card fronts that I would use for each girl.

I decided on a 5 1/2” square card. The card fronts were smaller so I decided to add a border. I matted 2 cards with white cardstock and 2 with a beige cardstock.

Here are the 4 card fronts.

For the inside and the back I cut 3 panels. White for 2 and beige for 2. I cut photo frames in the same colours as the card bases, one for each card. I also cut blue and green sorry not shown in this photo.

I decided that I wanted to frame the bunnies from this patterned paper so I used the square from the Photo Gallery set to trace, I cut around the ears to have them come out of the frame. I decided to make them all the same so I wouldn’t have to worry about keeping an order straight later. I added shading to the bottom right of the Photo frame using a Versa Mark ink pad. I used a Versa Mark marker to add shading to the squares.

This is where I realized that I needed a few more frames so I cut the Blue and Green. I also stamped the “hop hop hooray!” From the Bug Greetings Clear Stamp Set. I added the framed bunnies to the long accordion piece from the Photo Gallery Pop Up (Karen has a video tutorial on the product page at the link ⬆️ )

I started adding the pop ups to the card bases.

I wanted to do something a little different along the bottom, I cut the cardstock squares using the same colours as the frames. I also cut paper squares from all the coordinating papers from the paper pack. I thought adding a peeping bunny would be cute so I cute pieces from the Animal Add ons 5- Chick and Bunny, Circles Crosshatch, and Dog and Cat Playful Add on (muzzle). I made white bunnies to go on the beige cardstock, and beige bunnies to go on the white cardstock.

I made a bit of a mistake when I was making the border out of the squares. I wanted them to cross the fold but found when I folded the card it buckled in the middle so I cut the squares where the fold is, and added the cut piece to the opposite side.

Going forward I drew where I wanted to cut, and then cut a thin slit out of the square before gluing down both of the sides. I sponged the edges of the bunny pieces with Crumb Cake ink and added White Gelly Roll pen to add highlights.

I added the “love you” from the Pop and Swap Pop up set. To each card using the same colours as the card bases. I stamped each of the girls names in matching ink and made the banners shown below using the Greetings Labels die set, and added them to each card.
