Easter is just around the corner, so I thought I would share,\u00a0How to make a Layered Easter Card. Since I’m on the Fantabulous Circut Challenge Blog I’ve even thrown in a Cricut Cut too.<\/p>\n

When I first got my Cricut I wasn’t sure how to use the device. I would have lots of trial and error trying to figure out how to cut using those dials and the keypad on the machine. Now that I have a newer machine the Cricut Explore Air I love using it almost daily.<\/p>\n

Now that I have Cricut Design Space it allows me the ability to customize images to my needs. For today’s project, I pulled the Egg Flourish from the Gypsy Font cartridge into Design Space.<\/p>\n

Once I had the image in Design space I then spent a few minutes removing the Egg as I didn’t want that part of the cut I wanted the mat. I then sized the cut to fit on a A2 greeting card and cut on two different shades of purple cardstock.<\/p>\n

Using my \u00a0Vagabond I made a sandwich with the Darice Embossing Folder, 4.25 by 5.75-Inch, Brick Wall<\/a> and the light purple cardstock. I also made a sandwich with the\u00a0CUTTLEBUG 5X7 EMBOSS-OXFORD<\/a> Embossing Folder and white cardstock.<\/p>\n

On both of the newly textured papers I used the Ranger blending tool and Brutus Monroe Aubergine ink to bring out the texture.<\/p>\n

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist – Pearl was sprayed over both of the textured pieces. Set aside to dry. (Tip store your Glimmer Mist on it’s side and then it is easier to shake the glimmer into the liquid)<\/p>\n

Print the\u00a0Calico Collage Victorian Easter Digital Download – FREE<\/a>\u00a0and cut out the large rabbit image, mat with white cardstock. Next layer on the purple mat.<\/p>\n

Stamp the\u00a0Brutus Monroe Easter Blessings<\/a>\u00a0on a scrap of white cardstock and punch with one inch punch. Punch a 1.25 of purple to mat.<\/p>\n

Select the round bunny image from the\u00a0Calico Collage Victorian Easter Digital Download – FREE<\/a>, punch a purple mat using the 1.5 punch.<\/p>\n

Use\u00a0Aleene’s Tacky Glue<\/a>\u00a0to adhere the purple mat with the large bunny image to the White basket weave card topper.<\/p>\n

Wrap\u00a0PURPLE 1mm Bugtail Satin Cord Shamballa Macrame Beading Nylon Kumihimo String (210ft Spool)<\/a>\u00a0around the lower portion of the card. Adhere to A2 card.<\/p>\n

Adhere Circle Bunny and Easter Blessings using Pop Dots. Add a bow and place the\u00a0Stick On Pearls<\/a>\u00a0around the edge of the purple mat.<\/p>\n
