Hoppin’ Poppin’ Bunnies

| ullycatdesigns

Inspired by someone who loves bunnies, I made this free-standing pop-up birthday card. I used some dies by i-crafter which sadly is no longer making new products. You can still find some of their dies on ebay, esty and a few on-line stores. Hoping that the designer of these dies – Lynda Kanase will find a new company to work with to produce this fun Box Pops-Oval Base once again.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Bunnies and Grass:  Cut three of the bunnies die from the Box Pops Easter, Add-on set from white and four of the small grass die in white. Cut two pop-up strips from the Box Pops-Oval Base set and trim off tab on each piece. Color the grass on all pieces and tops of pop-up strips with a green alcohol marker. Glue the three bunny piece together. Glue to one side of oval base before glue the base altogether.

Oval Pop-Up Stand:  Cut the main die in the Box Pops-Oval Base twice from heavy patterned cardstock. Follow assembly directions in video. Glue two grass strips to each pop-up strip to form a “T” shape. Place a pop-up strip into slot in oval base and fold tab where it meets the base bottom. Glue in in place. (I added a 1×4.5-inch strip of white to the back for a personal message.)

Sentiments:  “Happy Birthday” was cut twice – once from coral and once from white cardstock using Firefly dies The white was off-set slightly as the bottom layer when the two colors were glued together. The words were brushed with a glitter gloss to make them sparkle.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope. I stamped a bunny holding a heart with the words “Especially for you” on the back envelope flap.
