Happy Easter Every Bunny!

There is this Easter Stamp set in the main catalogue, called "Everybunny".
As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it.  You may be wondering if it's worth your money to buy a stamp set that you'll only use once a year.  
Well I say it IS worth it!
There are several things you can use it for:
Easter displays
Easter Cards
Spring Cards (birthdays, anniversaries)

and the most important, in my opinion, is it would be so cute for scrapbooking!  I'm in the process of scrapbooking my girls baby books, and how cute would this set look for their first Easter pages?

Cute.
Well, here's what we did with it last night in Club:
This is a tri-shutter card.
Here are the instructions I found here: http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/2010/02/cardmaking-301-trifold-shutter-card.html.  I love how simply she explains it.

I used:
Stamp Set: Everybunny
Colors: Wisteria Wonder, Pink Pirouette, Pool Party, So Saffron
Accessories: Subtles brads, Wisteria Wonder Ribbon, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border, In Color DSP, Every Egg Stampin' Wheel
Tools: Watercoloring with Aqua painters, Watercolor Wonder Crayons

Trifold Shutter Card
Instructions starting with a standard 8 ½” by 11” piece of cardstock and, when folded, this fits in a regular A2 envelope (standard size for handmade cards).

Cut the cardstock to 5 ½” by 10 ½”. 
Scores are from the short end and run edge to edge at 1 ¾”, 3 ½”, 7” and 8 ¾”. This just shows you how the cardstock should be on your cutter (I’m a very visual person – descriptions don’t work well for me!!!)

Next cut a slit 1 ½” from each edge and run between the first score line and the last score line. And here’s a shot of how it looks once your slit is cut. As you can see, I was supervised the whole time I did this to make sure I got it right!!

Now the folds – a series of “peak” and “valley” folds. They are a bit tricky! First “peak” fold the top and bottom thin sections but DO NOT fold the middle section at all where there are not score lines (look at the next picture to see the unfolded middle section):

At the next score, “valley” fold the top and bottom thin sections, and peak fold the middle section:

The next score is peak folded on top and bottom thin sections and valley folded in the middle:


And at the last score, valley fold top and bottom sections; again, do not fold middle section at all. This is a finished look:

Here it is folded up, and how it looks as it opens:

Thanks for visiting!
