Hoppy Birthday Card

Today I made this adorable rabbit card.  I love the shape of the card, but it's all the little details that make this card even more special.
The bunny and all his layers are from Nate's ABCs. I sized them to 4" but I added a second layer of grass (from EDPD) to give it some more height.  The little bunny doesn't come with any details, so I found shapes on Nate's ABCs that I could use for his nose and ears.  The little cotton tail is Q-tip cotton I attached with a little hot glue. The card shape is from Preserves, it's actually a tag I sized to fit an A2 envelope. 

The senitment is from My Pink Stamper's Punny-licious.  I inked all the grass layers with green ink and a finger dauber.  I attached the bunny with pop-dots and the grass with thicker pop dots.

The eye and these black pearls are self-stick flat back peals I grabbed from Craft Warehouse.  Here you can see I also inked around the background paper.  Using black ink and a finger dauber gives the wood grain paper a wonderful distress look.  The background paper is from DCWV's Green Stack.  I used a mat stack, but I also have it in an 8" x 8" stack.

Like most scene-style cards, I like to make the card open from the top so it can be displayed.  For this card, I couldn't make the card open from the top and preserve the tag top shape. My card base measures 5 1/2" x 7 3/4" and folds in the center.

Darth Vader Shaped Card

So sorry, but I have yet another shaped card to share with you today. This one is using Sure Cuts a Lot with the Cricut.  I'll include the files for you to download and make your own Darth Vader cards too:

I've included both files so you can create this card using whatever cutter or software you have. We made these cards for the Star Wars loving Dad's in our lives!! What a perfect Father's Day card... you can even include a "Luke, I am your Father." quote. :)

Here is the inside of our cards. We used the quote:
"What is thy bidding, my master?" 
 I found this quote online and printed it using Star Jedi Font (18 points) we downloaded a while ago. Here is the link if you'd like to download that too: http://www.dafont.com/star-jedi.font 
Here is a close up of our sentiment.  I punched it using my Photo Labels punch from EK Success and matted it with some black and red paper. This is actually a pretty simple card to put together. The file has the card body and the layers on one page. I've included a screen shot from SCAL so you can see how it works.

We cut our cards at nearly 6" (they fit in a 6" square envelope), but you can size them to what ever size works best for you or your project.
