Punny Bunny Valentines | CraftyPaws

I was so happy to have found a little time to craft and to make more cards for Operation Valentine (for children in long-term hospital stays). I realized that all the Valentines that I made with the cute little chickies (in my prior post HERE) really only worked for girls.  So I tasked myself with making some for boys.

20160124_202052-1I know that after the kids give and receive these cards, they are likely to get thrown away, so I wanted to make them all nice (after all, what’s the point of hand made cards if they aren’t special), but I didn’t want to spend hours coloring up images for each one.  The perfect solution was using die cuts. I used the adorable bunny die from the Diemond Dies Easter Die Set with various chocolate colored papers (scraps from my stash) and a hand held hole punch to cut out a shape that looked like someone had taken a bite out of the chocolate rabbits’ ears.  For the eyes of the bunny, I used the dots from the Easter egg from the same Diemond Dies Easter Die Set.

For the card bases, I used pre-cut mint colored card bases that I had picked up as a Hot Buy at Michaels (80 card bases and envelopes for only $5!).  For the card front, I printed out the sentiment, “You’re EARresistable,” in a fun font and used the scalloped frame from WPlus9’s Sunshine Layers die set to cut out the base.

Then I picked a few sequins in chocolate brown, gold, and irridescent aquamarine to add some interest and sparkle. Lastly I took the tiny “xo” stamp from the Paper Smooches “Chubby Chums” stamp set and used Delicata Golden Glitz gold ink to add more of a feeling of celebratory confetti to the area with the sequins.  It may seem like nothing much, but I think those little x’s and o’s make all the difference in giving these cards a fun and finished look.

The following is a quick video share of these cards:
