Easter Bunny Card

Cricut recently released the Kate's ABC's cartridge. The images on this cartridge are so cute. I adore this little bunny and thought that he would make a cute Easter card.




Directions for Easter Bunny Card:

Cricut Kate's ABC's cartridge
Bright blue, bright green, bright pink, yellow, white and light brown card stock
Googly eyes
Green chalk or pastels
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder
Yellow multi-print ribbon
Foam dots
Small piece of bright blue ribbon


1. Using the Cricut Kate's ABC's cartridge select the bunny and cut the image at 3 inches out of light brown card stock. Press the Shift and the bunny keys and cut the grass out of bright green card stock. Press the Layer 1 key and cut the grass blade. Press the Shift and Layer 1 keys and cut the flowers and dragon fly out of bright pink card stock. Press the Layer 2 key and cut the flowers center out of yellow card stock. Assemble bunny, the dragon fly and the flowers. Glue a googly eye to the bunny's head. Tie a small bow with the blue ribbon and glue it to the bunny's neck. Highlight the grass and the grass blades with green chalk or green pastels.

2. Cut a piece of bright blue card stock approximately 5 1/2 inches long by 4 inches wide and emboss it using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

3. Attach foam dots to the back of the bunny, flower and dragon fly. Position the bunny 1 inch from the bottom of the embossed card stock and press in place. Place the dragon fly to the right of the bunny and the flower between the grass blades and press in place.

4. Cut a piece of yellow multi-print ribbon approximately 10 inches. Center the ribbon on the front of the card and fold the ends of the ribbon under the top and bottom edges of the card. Glue the ends of the ribbon in place. Tie a small bow and glue over the ribbon approximately 1 inch from the bottom of the card.

5. Center the embossed blue card stock slightly above the bow and glue in place.

6. Using Microsoft Word and the Cataneo BT font at 18 type Just hopping by to wish you Happy Easter! Print it on white card stock. Trim the card stock close the greeting. Cut a piece of bright pink card stock slightly larger than the card stock with the greeting. Glue the greeting to the pink card stock. Center the greeting on the embossed blue card stock and position it so that the pink card stock rests just above the second row of embossed dots. Glue in place.

Easter Card

Easter is quickly approaching and my cards are finally finished. While I enjoy making the cute bunny themed cards I wanted to do something different. Cricut's Inspired Heart Lite cartridge contains religious images. The crucifix seemed like the perfect choice for my Easter card. I cut the crucifix out of bronze metallic card stock and then used the d-stress tool to distress the edges to make the image stand out.





Directions for Easter Card:

Parchment, white, light purple and bronze metallic card stock
DCWV Shimmer Stack-purple shimmer card stock
Cricut Inspired Heart Lite cartridge
Martha Stewart Doily edge punch and Dove paper punch
Imaginisce d-stress distressing tool
Gold mesh ribbon
Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink
Narrow purple ribbon
Small Calla Lily-These are available in a small bunch in the bridal aisle at Michaels
Foam Dots


1. Fold the parchment card stock in half lengthwise and crease.

2. Using the Inspired Heart cartridge cut Christ 2 at 3 inches out of the bronze metallic card stock. Press shift and the Christ 2 image and cut the background out of light purple card stock. Using the d-stress tool and the white tip, lightly distress the edges of the crucifix. Attach the crucifix to the purple background. Press the phrase key and the Dreidal key and cut rejoice at l inch out of purple shimmer card stock.

3. Cut a piece of purple shimmer card stock 1/4 inch larger, on all sides, than the light purple card stock and attach the image with foam dots.

4. Punch the long edge of a piece of parchment card stock with the Martha Stewart doily border punch. Cut the doily strip approximately 7/8 inches wide (measured from the scalloped edge of the border). Cut a strip of purple shimmer card stock approximately 3/4 inch wide and attach it under the doily strip so that the scalloped edge almost touches the edge of the purple strip. Glue the border to the right edge of the card so that the purple edge faces inward.

5. Center rejoice and glue it approximately 1/2 inch from the top of the card.

6. Use the Martha Stewart dove paper punch to punch a dove out of white card stock. Highlight the edges of the dove with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink. Glue the dove to the left of rejoice.

7. Center the purple backed crucifix and glue it approximately 1 1/2 inches from the bottom edge of the card.

8. Tie a knot in a piece of gold mesh ribbon and glue it under rejoice.

9. Tie a small bow around three Calla Lilies. Glue the lilies at an angle on the lower right edge of the card. Trim the ends of the stems so they don't extend past the edge of the card.
