Fun 'N Easy Mr. Rabbit One-ish Layer Easter Card!

 Hello!

There's no better time to think about Spring than when there are mountains of snow piled up!  This project features Mr. Rabbit by Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous and a bit of masking to keep the bulk down so you can mail them without taking out a second mortgage.


All the how-tos are in this week's video and many of the products are linked below (AFIL- thank you so much for your support!  I may get a small commission when items are purchased using these links.).  I hope you will enjoy the tutorial and consider subscribing, liking and sharing at no cost to you!


Here are the supplies I used:

I hope you stay safe if you are in this nasty weather!  I'll be back soon!

Shaggy Dog Shaker Card (Craft Roulette #301 Submission)

Hello!


Happy New Year!  Wishing you all the best in 2026 with tons of time to craft!  My first card this year is a Craft Roulette submission.  If you haven't heard of Craft Roulette, it's a live paper craft challenge on YouTube at 7:10 EST.  It's a great way to stretch your card-making muscles!  We have a lot of fun and laughs along the way!

Mary Gunn Funn spins the wheel to decide our parameters each week.  This week was Project:  Appreciation Card,  Color: Apple Farm,  Element: Silhouette, Random: An Old Product.  There was a bit of an extra challenge this week by Jenn Gross to make it a shaker card and she'll donate .25 cents for each one to the Elderly Dog Rescue in honor of Mary's son Stephen's dog Furgis.

I had no problem with the old stuff!  The corner punch (unknown) is ancient as well as the Thank You window (Creative Creations).  I also used an old Martha Stewart edge punch to make a little stencil for the pawprints and a Simon Says Stamp Dog Die that's discontinued.  Anything else I used is linked below.  

I don't normally do 5 x 7 cards, but was "forced" to because the thank you die was too wide for an A2:(. That's a lot of real estate for me to cover!

I added a shadow to the dog die, but the silhouette wound up being the pawprints.  I was hoping the thank you would be, but it's a drop shadow LOL!

I'm planning some tutorials soon as I have a little time off work this month.  So watch this space!

Take care and I'll be back soon!
