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.
Teri
