Back when my favorite paper store was going out of business, I found this gorgeous handmade paper that I knew immediately I would use for either Easter or Mother’s Day cards.
The pic doesn’t do this justice but it’s a gorgeous rough silk like texture with metallic painted flowers.
So that was a couple of months ago when I thought I had tons of time until either of these holidays, then the calendar sped up and life happened and EEEK! It’s time to make Easter cards!
Thankfully, printables can be re-sized so I used my
HOP printable as my card focal.
I used a cream cardstock for the card, then a gold speckled vellum for the background paper. Layered my handmade paper on top and then my re-sized printable, mounted on a coordinating panel.
Since everything looks better with glitter, I went over my little bunny with Stickles glitter glue so Mr. HOP would pop.
What’s a bunny without a little adhesive pearl cotton tail? Other embellishments include punched flowers and more Stickles dots of glitter.
Hippity Hoppity Easter's on its waaaaaayyyyyy.

It's so sad when paper stores go out of business.
