How To Make A Realistic-Looking Baby Quilt Card! (With Bunny That "Hops")

Hi!

I've been thinking about how to make this card since March and finally have the "bugs" worked out!
Please see the tutorial under the photo for complete instructions.  Affiliate picture links are at the bottom of this post.  (I receive a small commission if you purchase using these links at no cost to you.)

Basic Instructions:

1. Choose an odd number of decorative papers.  

2. Die cut using stitched rectangle dies.  

3. Cut similar-colored copy weight with the same rectangle die.

4. Apply StickIt adhesive to the back of all the diecuts.

5. Make a pattern of how you would like to cut it (unless you have a heavy-duty guillotine cutter--then stack 'n whack all at once!)

6. Cut the patterns and keep together

7. Adhere to the copy paper diecut

8. Run through die-cutter with the Lawn Fawn Quilted Backdrop die.

9. Place on Lawn Fawn Fancy Rectangle die with eyelet edge.

10.  Place on A2 size card base.

11.  Decorate as desired!  Enjoy!

Enjoy!

I've been here at the 'Creek since 2011 writing about crafts, travels, pets, humor (lot's of humor!), etc.  Most of the posts lately have been papercrafting due to time constraints.  (Unfortunately, I can't have it all as there just aren't enough hours in a day--well maybe if I didn't have to work...)

Anyway, here are a dozen cards that I made P.YT. (Pre YouTube)  Please vote either in the comments here or at my channel on the one you would like to see me recreate!  The voting will end on 6/14 and I will announce "the winner"probably on my "Just Cards Video Hop" video on 6/15.
