Lisbeth and Little Bunnies

As we’re all waiting for Spring to arrive, our Design Team at Milk N Coffee showcased some lovely new releases today. I absolutely fell in love with Lisbeth and Little Bunnies.

How did I create this card?

This is my 2nd folded card; if you remember, my first one was the Leopard so this time around, I actually created the card base first and then colored the digital image. Before I talk about the card, I’d to give credit to Julie Price who created a folding card earlier this year and inspired me with it. Thank you, Julie! Also, if you’d like to create your own folding card, please visit StampARTic tutorial for complete details, perfect step by step help.

Starting out with a 12 x 12 craft sheet, I used my Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Scallop 3-dot set —- these are really the best I have found, the set comes with a corner cutter and the straight lines as well, works perfectly each and every time. I also used the set to create the card front as well. To create the rest of the pieces, I completely followed StampARTic’s tutorial. One note about the paper: please get 2-3 extra sheets of different papers. I really love using Recollections semi-metallic paper. Other brands just don’t work well folded… some unfold, some break, some disfigure, all kinds of crazy things so my recommendation is staying with Recollections, Michael’s Craft store brand.

Once the folding card was complete, as my usual routine, I turned to Silhouette Studiothen and outlined Lisbeth and the little bunnies plus created just the little bunny and the carrot basket — please check out my very first tutorial on how to use digital images. And of course, there’s another tutorial on how to work with more complex digital images. Once prints and cuts were complete, I colored the images with Copic markers. Then assembled everything. I used Fancy Pants Parkbench stock paper pack — love that it’s made in US! The ribbon came from Clear Bags, just a wonderful local business I get as many supplies from as possible.

Please remember that I am always happy to personalize the artwork with a name, a quote or a special message, endless options really. Also, colors are always customizable options, after all Copic Markers come in 358 different colors!

Please visit my Etsy Store and  Facebook Page for more ideas and colored images. 

I am also posting more detailed photos below, please check them out too.

hugs, Rita
