My childhood memories of Easter always include chocolate rabbits so I just had to include some on my Easter card. I used a Tim Holtz die to cut out the bunnies from brown card stock. Then I coated the surface of the bunnies with 'chocolate' from a tube of BoBunny perlescent dimensional paint. (The Bo Bunny product may not be available anymore but there are other dimensional paint companies who do manufacture chocolate colored paint in a squeeze tube.) Once the rabbits were dry, I glued on some bows cut from colored card stock using the Tim Holtz die that came with the bunny die.)
Next I used a Spellbinder egg-shaped die to cut out the oval for the shaker part of the card. I glued a piece of acetate (cut from a discarded cello bag) behind the opening. I framed the opening with double stick foam tape to make a well to enclose the shaker pieces. From HM Ben Franklin Crafts I purchased a great pack of Easter themed confetti. I pressed down most of the taped egg shaped opening and then filled in the opening with enough confetti to fill the egg about halfway full before sealling the rest of the opening. Double stick tape was used to fasten down the printed card stock edges and the banner which came from a Doodlebug Design ephemera set.
Since I had a Doodlebug Designs 'Happy Easter' washi tape, I decided to decorate an envelope to go with the shaker card. Making a matching envelope always signifies to the recipient that there is a special greeting inside. Make someone's day fabulous...send a them a homemade card today!
