you’re Eggstra special

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a fabulous week and you’re looking forward to a restful and relaxing weekend. I’m thrilled to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project with you today featuring our Hip Hop Hooray stamps, stencils and chipboard along with our Bunny Friends stamps and chipboard. This double easel fold is seriously one of the easiest-ever fun folds and it really packs a punch. And I just can’t get over the cuteness of all the Easter-themed crafty goodies in this latest release – be sure to check them out!

I cut the card base at 4-1/4″ x 11″ (scored at 5-1/2″) from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock. Next, I cut the double easel panel at 4″ x 10-1/4″ (scored at 2-1/2″ and 5″) along with an embellishment strip approximately 3-5/8″ x 3/4″ from our Jack O Lantern cardstock. Finally, I cut two additional layering panels at 3-3/4″ x 5″ and 2-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ from a print in the Spring Floral 6×6 Paper Pack. I created the focal images for the front using the Hip Hop Hooray stamps and stencils with distress inks and chipboard companions. I also used a variety of markers in addition to the distress inks, and blinged out the eggs with some tiny colored gemstones in my stash. Just prior to adhering the focal images, I stamped a sentiment from the Hip Hop Hooray stamp set.

I cut the inside panel at 3-3/4″ x 5″ from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of the patterned paper and cardstock used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the same Hip Hop Hooray stamp set and layered it on a panel of Jack O Lantern cardstock cut at 4″ x 5-1/4″. The finishing touch was adding an additional chipboard bunny created with the Bunny Friends stamps and chipboard companions. All stamping on this card was done in our Raven ink.
