Bunny Pop Up Easel cards for Easter 2024!

Hi creative and crafty friends! Happy weekend! I hope you have a fun weekend planned! Yesterday we went to the Sewing Expo here in Sacramento and enjoyed a day out and about. It was mostly sewing and quilting things but I generally just enjoy being around crafting so it was nice. Tomorrow night we're going to a concert at church, and then it will be one week until Easter! Our weather turned a bit and it's cloudy and rainy again, but hey, that's spring around here!! 

Today's post has a TON of pictures! I made four cards and I'm sharing lots of pictures of all four cards because each one is similar, and yet very different. And we know I love the details! I recently bought the Bunny Easel Dies set from Anna Griffin and it makes the most perfect Easter cards! I loooooooved making them! I usually buy my Anna Griffin items from HSN or direct from her website. As far as I know, everything is still available (for next year....) 

I made a quick little video of the cards too - if you want to take a look - here's the link!

Each finished card folds into an A7 envelope (5"x7") and I chose pastel pink envelopes which looks so nice!! The main die that does the folding part is a very long die, so you will need the extra long cutting plates for your die cutting machine. After I die cut the bases, I went to town mixing and matching colors and embellishments.... I also used some other Anna Griffin Dies/Embossing Folders to make the crosses. All the flowers and sentiments are from AG also.

 

I used loads of papers from my scrapbook paper stash! I used pretty florals and ginghams of course. I used metallic paper and also cream cardstock for the bunnies. Really just mixed and matched without too much effort or analysis. 

 

I combined pearl embellishments and ribbons from my stash too! I'm trying to use everything! LOLZ. (Are you in that same boat??!)

 

 

Each card is sooooo different! They all fold up and then the bottom tucks into the labels so it stands up straight for display!

 

I embellished the bottom part of each card too. I splattered on gold paint everywhere!! And clear diamond Stickles... and and and.... Hee hee.

 

I love these 3D flower embellishments and added glitter to most of them...

 

OOOOOHHHHH those lilies!!! And the gorgeous fonts...

 

The die cut for the top layer bunny is SO incredibly detailed and pretty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I put some pink art chalk on this one for her ears and cheek. If there's one thing I hoard more than paper...it's ribbon!!

 

 

 

 

 

And here is a side view of what the bunny looks like when standing up tall! Be sure to use double sided cardstock for a polished/finished look.

 

 

And here is one of the cards laying flat for mailing.

 

And here are all four cards folded up before I put them in the envelopes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These dies are really gorgeous and fun to work with. I feel like I could have made twenty cards, just mixing and matching all the pretty elements. I love Easter time and the motifs and colors of the season. I was able to customize each one in my own unique style and it was a very nice day in the craft room creating these to share with you! Are you all ready for Easter? Are you hosting? Let me know your favorite Easter craft this year - I'd love to know what you're making!! XOXO

I was just saying to myself, how fun these cards would be to make, and then, your last paragraph says exactly that. I was going to go to the sewing expo with my sister, but I haven’t touched the two things I bought at the last one, so I had to show restraint and pass this time around. Happy Easter.

WOW Wanda! Those cards are unbelievably gorgeous! I can’t imagine the hours you put into them! I so enjoy your talents. I also enjoy your cross stitch projects. Did you do any cross stitch for Easter? Happy Easter! 🐇🐣

EXQUISITE!!!! You've covered all the chocolates & even did a foil covered bunny! LOL WONDERFUL WORK, Wanda!!! Currently, I am working on a Portrait, & HOPE to be able to sit at my sewing machine today! ;) What is my favorite Easter Project this year? This one today, SURELY takes the cake! ;)

Hi, Wanda. I just made 24 of these bunny easel cards-12 for centerpieces for my husband's former care home, and 12 for my family and friends. To make the cardstock more stable, I cut a second shadow layer to attach to the back of the bottom of the base. Much better, and a larger place to write a message. Now on to 24 flower basket easel cards for Mother's Day!
