LAYERED RABBITS

The Layering Rabbits Die Set is simply amazing. It includes dies for two different rabbit designs – a standing rabbit and a crouching one. And they’re both very realistic and adorable (although with rabbits and bunnies adorableness comes by default).

I decided to make a chocolate bunny by die-cutting two layers out of brown cardstock of two different shades.​

As far as the background I decided to go mint as mint with chocolate is a great combination.

To make the background I simply inked a white woodgrain cardstock with Mint Ink.

I made the sentiment using Enjoy Expressions Stamp and Die Set by die-cutting Enjoy word and its background out of white cardstock and vellum correspondingly and adhering them together. The rest of the sentient I white embossed on brown striped.

After I assembled the card I added several white and brown sequins as finishing accents.

LAYERED OAK TREE

The Layered Oak Tree Die Set is one of those that can claim to be a staple. it’s very beautiful and versatile. You can use it to make trees of each season. Can mix and match tree tops die-cuts (there are two of them). Can only use a tree trunk with bare branches to make a spooky Halloween card. You can make die-cuts out of different color cardstock or die-cut all out of white and color with your favorite medium.

I decided to go white with a tree. Love combining different shades of white, how silly it may sound haha. I used pure white and two shades of light cream cardstock to achieve this effect.
​

The background I made out of woodgrain patterned paper. The sentiment is make the same way as on a card below.

And of course finishing touches. In this case I used Snow Crystals.
