I shared two cards recently using the Layering Leaves Stamp Set images in unique and creative ways. The “flower on a stump easel card” I shared on March 10th. And the “bunny & carrots card” I shared on March 12. I knew I wanted to share one of them for today’s pre-recorded Wednesday Online Paper Crafting Class (I’m in Houston at a Stampin’ Up!® convention right now), but I couldn’t decide between the two cards. So I decided to share both in the video and then posts previews, measurements, and supply lists beforehand.
Either one of these is much easier to share directions, tips and tricks in video format. So I’m glad I did it this way. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post). Then visit my March 10th and March 12th posts to scroll through the close-up photos, access the measurements & supply lists, and even download the reference PDF sheets.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you had fun and got some creative inspiration from what I shared.

Did you know that you can create bunnies and carrots with the Layering Leaves Stamp Set and Bough Punch? I added in a sentiment from the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set and the large egg die from the Excellent Eggs Dies to get this sweet bunny rabbit card. Change out the sentiment to get a baby card, an Easter card, a happy Spring card, and more.
I made quite a few of these.
And I brought 80 of them with me to Houston today.
I’ll be at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event, our big yearly convention for the next several days. These cards will be my swap cards. And of course I had to create something that featured my Layering Leaves Stamp Set in a fun and creative way, right? Now my hope is that this set will remain in the Annual Catalog for another year. I’ll find out in a couple days when the new 2024-25 Annual Catalog is revealed to all of us demonstrators attending.
I don’t have directions for you today, but tomorrow you’ll be able to access my how-to video. Make sure you are subscribed to my blog and/or my YouTube channel so you get notifications for when I share and post.

I love the Textured Timber images, purchased the set right away, and was inspired to create this card shown here which I also paired with the Layering Leaves stamp set.
The flower petals come from one of the Layering Leaves leaf branch images! Fun, right?
And it’s an easel card (the reason for the slit on the inside layer).

This is a fun one! Did you get in on the February 2024 Sweet Springtime Paper Pumpkin kit? It lives up to it’s name. The imagery is fresh & cheerful, and the animals look so sweet. I couldn’t stop creating with it and have already put together eight different projects to share…one is exclusive for my personal paper pumpkin subscribers, four I am sharing today, and the others (plus whatever else I create) will have to wait until March 8th.
This kit contained the supplies shown below to make nine projects (3 of 3): three standard size cards, three slimline cards, and three milk carton treat containers.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to share other ways to use those supplies. I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages, and more. So today I’m sharing with you…
Mini Easter Baskets (how to double the treat containers)

I’m hoping you are all having a wonderful weekend and a Happy Easter.
I’ve been playing with the Bough Punch a lot lately. I’ve also been cleaning my craft area. And I came across some boxes I had made and shared last year on April 13, 2022. Both of the critters’ bodies on the boxes are made with the Ladybug Builder Punch. The bunny’s ears and tail are also made with the Bough Punch.
And so with Spring in the air and these punches in hand, I made another bunny and added it to the front of this green card to create a Congrats card geared for someone expecting or someone who has just had a baby.
I had a lot of green on the card base layers already. And when I added the bunny, the leaves under it blended in too much. So I punched black leaves and gave them all a shadow layer.
Here are the details for recreating this card.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic White Thick Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (for die-cutting the Flora layer)
Scraps for punching the bunny parts
3/4″ x 3-1/4″ strip for punching the sentiment layer
Parakeet Party Cardstock
3-7/8” x 5-1/8”
Garden Green Cardstock
3-3/4” x 5”
Granny Apple Green Cardstock
Scraps for punching the leaves
Basic Black Cardstock
Scraps for punching the leaves
Tips/Directions
Watch the video in my 4/13/22 blog post (starting at the 8.5 minute mark) for instructions for punching and assembling all the parts to form your bunnies (one for the inside and one for the outside). After assembling that bunnies, add the green leaves & one more layer of black leaves for the shadow to one of the bunnies. Set aside.
Die-cut the 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ white layer with the large die from the Two-Tone Flora Dies. Use large or small Blending Brushes to add color to the layer…Parakeet Party in the bottom right section, then Granny Apple Green further out, then Garden Green going light to dark. (You can swap these steps if you’d rather – blend the ink on the cardstock and then die-cut.)
Glue this to the Garden Green Cardstock layer. (I sponged it on with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.) Then trim up the overhanging sections.
Punch the ends of the sentiment strip piece. Stamp it so the word is off to the right a bit.
Assemble: Add the Parakeet Party Cardstock, add the Garden Green layer, add the bunny with the leaves and the sentiment strip with Dimensionals, and add the silver flower embellishments.
Open the card and add the other bunny with Glue Dots (so it has a small amount of dimension) and a few flowers.
