Well it may be close to the wire but I finished a few cute Easter Cards featuring the Lawn Fawn Build-a-Bunny die set and Build a Bunny Ad on. I have to say this little critter is so stinkin' cute.

For these two cards I used a card layout inspired by a video Jennifer McGuire made about a month ago you can find here https://youtu.be/sdWFnO6G23I?si=048XDsUG5znQSe4x .
Each card is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 top folding note card. The bunnies where die cut from Vanilla CS and the Pink areas from C9 Pink Lemonade CS. I blended the bunnies body with Tim Holtz Distress Antique Linen and Vintage Photo. The pink area I used some C9 Sweet Pea ink to add some dimension. I used black enamel gems for the eyes and added some Glossy Accents in the nose. The rest of the pieces like the eggs, carrot and flowers where cut from light colored scraps or white CS and then ink blended.
To make the embossed panel I cut a 4 x 5 1/4 white panel then I cut the arch using Spellbinders Nested Arch Dies. Make sure you cut the arch out before embossing so you don't flatten the dimension on the card. I used older Darice embossing folders I had in my stash that had spring vibes. You could use any flower embossing folder to get this look.
I then took then cut the next size larger arch from Spellbinders Glacier CS for each card and embossing them using an older basket weave and wood grain embossing folder.
I added the foam tape on the white embossed panel then I added the Glacier blue embossed arch behind the small arch opening and then mounted on the note card.
The "Bunny Sentiments" sentiment on the first card is from a retired Reverse Confetti set and the "To Some Bunny Special" was stamped with versamark ink and white heat embossed on GinaK Lucky Glover CS then cut out with a sentiment strip die.
This card was inspired by one Wanda Guess @stampcatwg. The card is on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 top folding note care. I cut a patterned paper panel to 4 x 5 1/4 from Doodlebug Bunny Hop Petite Prints paper. Then I used a postage panel die cut from Neenah solar white 110lb CS. The grass is cut from LF Green Smoothie patterned paper using a LF grassy border die. The bunnies are still using the Lawn Fawn Build-a-Bunny die set and Build a Bunny Ad on. Girl bunnies dress is cut from Doodle Bug Bunny Hop Paper and the overalls are cut from Doodle Bug Patterned paper from the Made with Love Paper Pack.
I then cut the word Easter from Spellbinders Glacier CS and inked the bottom with a darker blue ink. I stacked them up using the Alpha Die that measures about 5/8 of an inch. I don't know who mine was made by it was in a grab bag I got at some point. The "Have A Happy" is from LF Pool Party stamped with Versa Fine Onyx Black ink.
The Sun is die cut using the LF Spring Showers die from Yellow CS and then I die cut a circle from more of the Doodlebug Bunny Hop Petite Prints paper for the center. I had to cut one of the rays from the sun to make room for the word to show through better. I think it still works.
This card is probably my favorite. It's the bunny butt for me 😊. This one is inspired by an interactive card Joy Baldwin created @createitwithjoy. The Flower paper is from Doodle bug Bunny Hop 6x6 paper pad that I can't find in stock right now.
For the layered scene panel I cut a piece of Gina K Key Lime CS using the Spellbinder A2 Matting Basics A set. I then cut a grassy layer using LF grassy border die. I then added some ink blending using SSS Fairway ink. For the dirt in the carrot patch, I cut the same sized panel using Spellbinder A2 Matting Basics A set again from Vanilla CS. I used LF Hillside Border and Puffy Cloud Border. I inked blended with Antique Linen & Vintage Photo and then put some on a block and splatter with a small brush and water. I pieced them together to make it avoided a gap but ensured I did not glue the top of the Cloud border down so I could slide some of the carrots behind. Lastly the sky was created from a White CS panel cut with the same Rectangle Die and then stenciled using a Cloud Stencil and SSS Tidepool ink. I layered the pieces and tucked the flowers and carrots in from the Build a bunny Add On. The bunnies this time were from White CS and I used SSS Fawn to ink blend. Then I added a cute little white pom pom to the bunny that is digging in the carrot patch.
