✂️ Tutorial — Sweet Baby Bunny Layered Card

This sweet baby bunny card is perfect for baby showers, newborn celebrations, spring greetings, or Easter crafting. The layered look gives the card a soft, dimensional finish while still being simple enough for beginner to intermediate crafters.

🧰 Supplies Needed

• Polkadoodles Cottontail Bunny Craft Die
• Die cutting machine
• White cardstock (card base + layering panel)
• Soft pink cardstock
• Pastel patterned paper (gingham or floral works beautifully)
• Cream or light kraft cardstock (for bunny base)
• Light pink cardstock (ears and nose details)
• Small scrap purple cardstock (flower detail)
• White lace trim or paper lace border
• Sentiment strip (Sweet Baby or Baby Girl/Boy)
• Gold foil pen or gold heat embossing (optional)
• Foam adhesive squares
• Liquid craft glue or tape runner
• Small pearl embellishments (optional)

📏 Step 1 — Create Your Card Base

Cut white cardstock to:
5.5 x 8.5 inches, then score and fold to create an A2 card base.

Cut patterned paper layer slightly smaller (about 5.25 x 4 inches) and adhere to the card front.

🎀 Step 2 — Create the Layered Frame Background

Cut a decorative or scalloped shape from:
• Pink cardstock (larger layer)
• White cardstock (slightly smaller layer)

Adhere the white layer centered on top of the pink layer.

Attach this layered panel to the center of your card front.

🐰 Step 3 — Die Cut the Bunny Pieces

Run the die through your machine using:

• Cream cardstock → Bunny base
• Pink cardstock → Inner ears + nose
• White cardstock → Tail (or use fluffy specialty paper)
• Purple scrap → Flower accessory

Lightly ink edges (optional) for dimension.

Assemble bunny using liquid glue.

🌸 Step 4 — Add Dimension to the Bunny

Add small foam squares behind the bunny.
Center the bunny onto the white panel layer.

This helps the bunny become the focal point of the card.

🧵 Step 5 — Add Lace + Sentiment

Add lace trim or a paper lace border across the lower third of the card.

Create a sentiment strip:
• Stamp or write “Sweet Baby”
• Use gold foil pen or emboss for an elevated look

Attach sentiment using foam adhesive.

✨ Step 6 — Finishing Touches

Add small pearl embellishments near the sentiment or corners.
Check alignment and press all layers firmly.

💡 Optional Variations

For Easter:
Add eggs, carrots, or grass die cuts.

For Baby Boy:
Swap pink for soft blue or mint.

For Neutral Baby Theme:
Use creams, yellows, and sage green.

💛 Crafter Tip

Try cutting the bunny from patterned paper for clothing looks, or layer vellum behind the bunny for a soft nursery feel.
