Happy Easter!


I love it when I teach a class and later on see what my student's make using the same technique. Jenny R. came up with this cute Easter themed card using the pleated center pop up technique. Just look at the inside of the card...


So cute yah? She used the Dandelion Designs cling set for the inside and a Happy Easter laser cut from Island Scrapbooking. These laser cut sentiments will make your life easier if you are making a lot of cards. They are cut in white, so you can color them if you need a specific color. Love how she made the bunny sitting on the fence. I imagine the Easter Bunny would need to take a break after delivering all those goodies!
