18 Carrot Fun

February 24, 2022

Hello all, Jackie here. Today I have been playing with one of Joset’s brand new die sets the bunny and isn’t he adorable!

I think the tiny dies that come with die sets are often overlooked and can be used in lots of ways that perhaps they were not intended. Here I have used the carrot to create a fun colorful background that is super easy to do.

Step One:

Start by die cutting and building up the bunny as normal. I chose to make my bunny white and inked around the edges for added dimension using Distress oxide antiqued linen.

Step Two:

Die cut a handful of carrots and add a little orange and green ink to the edges then glue all the carrot tops in place.

Step Three:

Arrange the carrots on the front of a white card panel measuring 4″ x 5.25″. Glue each carrot in place, then trim off any that hang over the edges.

Step Four:

Die cut the bonjour fold out from Sidekick Essentials 14. Cut the back off as we only need the front part. Attach a piece of vellum to the reverse side.

Step Five:

Add the prepared vellum topper to the centre of the carrot panel then attach the whole thing to the front of a green top folding blank card measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″. Use 3d foam pads for dimension.

Step Six:

Heat emboss the “smile” sentiment onto white card, then trim down to a small banner rounding off two corners. Fix the bunny on top of the vellum topper then add the sentiment to finish.
