Up…up and away! Is this little bunny cute or what! It just brings a smile to my face and makes me feel like Easter is here! I simply love square cards…I know – they do require extra postage but when you stop and think of all the things we spend "extras" on…

When I sat down to create a card for you today, I knew that I wanted to use this specific stamp from the Everybunny Stamp Set, so I just went with the general shape/flow of the stamp to dictate where to go from there…and using the Ovals Collection Framelits made perfect sense! Naturally I felt In needed a bit of interest to the large Oval so out came the Occasions Paper-Piercing Pack and this gem made me look GREAT by allowing me to make perfectly precise holes all the way around the Oval! Presto! What did I use to do that – easy-peasy…the paper-piercing tool and the Stampin' Pierce Mat are lifesavers to make this a breeze!

Whenever I do use the Aqua Painters, I always use the Water Color Paper – why? Simple…it does work the best when you are using the Aqua Painters and the paper stays nice and flat! I know…it's one more type of paper to have – but after all…you are taking YOUR time to create this beautiful card…make it look the best you can! I have list below the colors I used…TIP – remember to just squeeze your ink pads to get color on the top before you open them…this little blob of ink is perfect painting away!

After I colored the dear little bunny, I looked at the balloon and saw that ric-rack design…instantly my head when right to using the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die, this is such a fun and fresh die that has lots of shapes…I know what your thinking – it's kinda pricey – YEP it is – but you have 3 options…

1. You can get it at a huge discount when you are a hobbiest Demonstator like me –
   
2. You can get it for 50% off as a hostess benefit or
   
3. You could get it for FREE!
   

How is that for a 1-2-3 punch! Email me and just ask what is your best option!

The sentiment is also in this stamp set…super sweet and fun! After stamping it, I popped it out using the Modern Label Punch – layered it with the So Saffron…added a little bling with some adorable flowers and of course – a pearl was the special touch. I used the glue dots to anchor it but make sure you "curl the petals" a bit – gives it that special touch!

As always, Stampin Dimensionals are all over the place and my liner came from the Sale-A-Bration Designer paper….the simple yet perfect finishing touch! TIP  – when I put down the Rick-Rack…I first drew a pencil line so I was nice and straight…then I used the Multi Purpose Liquid Glue to adhere it ( this has been my go-to lately and for $3.95 how can you go wrong…careful as all you need it a bit of it!!!)

Have a super-duper day and I hope you have enjoyed today's post! I think it is adorable! As always, I do appreciate your comments…a big thanks from me – I love what I do and I would love to help you achieve your goals!
