Today I have used the Bugaboo Bunny digital stamp from Bugaboo Stamps, one of our generous sponsors this month, to make fun Easter card filled with fancy folds and flowers.

This card started with the super cute little Bugaboo Bunny digital stamp, Silhouette Studio and several cut files.  I enlarged the shutter gatefold card cut file (details & link below) to 5" wide x 6 3/8" tall and sized the digital stamp to fit neatly inside the shutter window.  I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set, cut to size with my Silhouette Cameo then coloured with Copic markers.  I cut all the elements to make the shutter card, along with the layered flower for the belly band (details & link below) and layered sentiment (details & link below).  I added an extra large petal layer to the base and an extra fine petal layer to the top, I curled all the layers with a fine paintbrush handle and layered them together, securing with a combination of foam dots and liquid adhesive.  I used liquid adhesive to secure all the layers of the card together.  I punched out a variety of flowers, curled and layered together them together and decorated the inside of the card with the layered flowers and layered sentiment.  I added a sparkling yellow rhinestone to the flower on the belly band and to all the flowers decorating the inside of the card.

Before assembling the belly band, I added an extra 1/8" score line to both sides to allow for the extra thickness inside the card and secured the ends so that they fitted on the card, not too loose to slide off, not too tight so that it could still easily slide on and off the folded card.  Lucky last came the large layered flower.  Apart from being over 2 3/4" diameter, it is just over 1 1/4" high ... lots of WOW factor making it need a gift box instead of an envelope.

Here is this fancy fold Easter card in action:
