Box Card Easter Bunny and Chick Carrot Car Tutorial

Hi! Are you ready for spring yet? Here in Utah, the weather is undecided. We’ve had beautiful spring like weather and then the next day, snow. Fortunately, for us, it melted quickly! For me, spring and Easter are synonymous and with that I want to show you how to put together Lori’s adorable Box Card Easter Bunny and Chick Carrot Cars. Here are the Silhouette links: Box Car Easter Bunny Carrot Car and Box Car Easter Chick Carrot Car

To start with, I cut out all my pieces. I’m making multiples to send to my grandkids so there are many pieces.

I then inked a few of the pieces. I wanted my yellow accents on the chick to stand out a little. I also like to add a light gray to the white edges of the eggshell. And of course, orange and green to make the carrot pop.

I then glued the main base piece together. With making multiples, I didn’t want the seam to open up while I was working on the next piece so I clamped them together with a binder clip.

Then I added the layered pieces of the front and the back to the main base.

Next are the cute little drivers. I started with the eyes on the chick and then flipped it over to add the other pieces. With the bunny, I started with the ears and then the eyes.

Next, glue the character to the insert and then add the insert to the base with the tabs bent to the back. I like to flatten the card after adding the insert to make sure that the card will lay flat for mailing.

And that’s it! You have an adorable carrot car box card.

5X7 Insert Card Bunny 4

Today I’m sharing a new Bunny insert card.  There are several new designs to choose from in the shop. Insert Bunny Card (SVG, Silhouette-coming soon). Insert Card Bundle (SVG).

Some of these cards take only 2 pieces of paper, and they are very quick to put together.

 

Hope you enjoy these new cards.

Box Card Easter Bunny Carrot Car

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with a tutorial on assembling Lori’s Box Card Easter Bunny Carrot card (SVGSilhouette).  My grandson loves everything to do with cars and trucks and I thought that he would love this card for Easter.  Lori has so many fabulous designs, be sure to check them out for your spring card needs.

Here are the pieces for this fun, interactive card.

Glue the pieces that go together and set them aside for now.

Here is the box glued together and the bunny glued inside it.  When making these cards I always fold them closed to make sure that things are lining up like I want them to.

Here is a top view where you can see where the bunny center piece was placed within the car body.

Here is the back of the card.  I love the way Lori has the sentiment and room for me to write my grandson a message.

Here is the card folded flat and ready for mailing.

That’s it for me today.  I hope that you have a wonderful spring weekend this weekend.  Happy Easter to those that celebrate it.

Hugs, Anita

Hexagon Pop Up Card Easter Bunny Tutorial

Hi friends. Time for Tutorial Thursday. Today I’m sharing a tutorial for the Hexagon Pop up Card Easter Bunny (SVGSilhouette).

Let’s get started by cutting out all the pieces.

These pieces are for the base of the card.

Adhere the panels to the long piece.

Adhere the two eggs to this piece labeled 1.

These are all the pieces for the number 2 piece.

Layer and adhere all these pieces onto this bunny layer.  Notice that you will layer the egg first, then the arms, then the feet pieces.

Adhere the eggs to piece 3.  You will notice later that the middle egg is mostly hidden.  So keep that in mind in choosing the colors for these three eggs.

Here are the three pieces all prepared for the card.

Let’s work on the base now.  My paper is double-sided with two colors.  I want the blueish color to end up on the outside.  Fold this piece in half and adhere the middle section.  I’m adhering the blue sides together. Fold all the creases toward the pink side.

Now take piece 2 and slide it into the middle slot of the base. From the underside, adhere the back of piece 2 to the middle of the base.

Now insert Piece 1 into the front slot of the base.  You can now see that Piece 2 is flat against the middle of the base. Adhere the tab of Piece 1 to the bottom of the base.

With both Piece 1 and Piece 2 in place, we are ready to adhere this side of the base. Adhere the glue tab to the front flap of the base.

Slide Piece 3 into the back slot of the base behind the bunny. Adhere the piece 3 glue tab onto the base. And adhere the glue tab to the back flap of the base.

From this view, you can see how the pieces slide into the base and the glue tabs at the bottom of the base.

We have our bunny layered part ready.  Adhere the glue tab on the Happy Easter piece.

Slide the Happy Easter piece onto the bunny part. Notice the little tabs on the bunny piece will slide into the slits of the Happy Easter piece.

Now flatten the bunny card part, by gently pushing the bunny part down.  Place adhesive on the front rectangle part of the base.  Slide the Happy Easter part onto the adhesive, and line it up, and adhere.

Turn the card over and place adhesive on the back rectangle as well. This one is a little trickier to get. Make sure you don’t get any adhesive on the bottom of the base. Press and adhere.

Here it is all assembled.

This is what it looks like when it is flat.

There are many cards in this hexagon style. Check out these other hexagon Easter cards in the shop.

Thanks for stopping by!
