12 Tags of 2013 - March

It's almost Easter everyone! Truly, it's a roller coaster of emotions during this week..good thing there is chocolate bunny waiting to be eaten! ;0)

I bring you a quick post with my tag/pop-up card inspired by Tim's most awesome 12 Tags of 2013 for March. Wasn't that bunny genius with the tinsel???  I loved his tag!

 

For my take on Tim's tag, I decided to turn the Mini Ornamental Die into a basket instead and make my die cut of a cross inside of an egg. I also couldn't have an Easter basket without a chocolate bunny, so one pops up when you open the card, even though a bite has been taken out of it...I just couldn't help it!

Using a #10 Jumbo sized Ranger tag as a guide, I cut two pieces of paper into into cards by doubling the tag. I used the Sizzix Pop Up die on the Idea-ology Easter paper for the inside.

More Sizzix die action here. I cut apart the Washer Border to use as a strap and decoration for the basket. Rock Candy Crackle covered the basket, and Weathered Wood Distress Stain highlighted the cracks for a great distressed look. After I colored the seam binding I weaved it through the holes of the Washer Border.

I stamped and cut out the eggs from the Blue Print Easter Sets. I die cut the cross into the larger egg. These were colored with Distress Markers and misted with Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls Mist. I freehand cut the toothmarks on the rabbit and covered him with foil.
