Gnomes

How Does the Easter Bunny Do It All?

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to our Karen Burniston Products – KB Riley LLC February 2024 Release Blog Hop. The Design Team have come together with Karen today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the release of 12 new dies. Sneak peeks of the new release started last week, and the dies are available to order NOW! (Click here to go to the GIVEAWAY section.)

Ever wonder how the Easter Bunny gets all those eggs prepared to hide? He uses gnomes of course!

This card uses five of the new release die sets including: Happy Easter, Easter Borders, Animal Add-ons 5, Baking Borders and Kitchen Borders as well as eight previously released die sets by Karen Burniston.

Instructions for how I created this 5×7-inch card with the gnome kitchen are in video above. The card front instructions are in written format only and are below the video. (Sorry I had a camera malfunction.)

Card Front:  To create the scene within the oval frame, I first had to create the scene by gluing the tree, basket and bunny to a strip of grass from the new Easter Borders set. (See assembly videos for tree and bunny on the bottom of their linked pages.)

Next I glued six grassing strips, plus the waste sections between the strip cutouts to form a grassy lawn. The second basket was glued in on a different layer than the bunny.

The oval frame was cut using the two largest dies in the Ovals – Crosshatch set. The scene was glued to the back of the frame and excess bits were trimmed off the oval.

Sentiments: For the card front sentiment of “How does he do it” I cut individual letters from black using the Mini Alphabet and Numbers set. For the “Happy Easter” I cut the shadow from white and the words from yellow cardstock using the new die set Happy Easter. I brushed a coat of glitter gloss over this sentiment to add some magic to the scene.

Thank you for reading this blog post. I hope this inspires you and makes you smile. Please like and leave comments 😊
