Bunny Butt Easter Card

The concept of the bunny's butt has been around for a long time.  I did the same idea using pom poms, felt, Easter grass and miniature clay pots back in the late 1970's!  It was cute then, and it's cute now!

I did use my Expression and the George cartridge to cut the openings in the card front but the rest of the bunny is done with punches.  I inked the edges of the punched shapes and pop dotted the tail for dimension.

The sentiment "Hoppy Easter!" was printed in card making software and punched with a SU punch.  I added a couple of pink Stickles dots and the card was complete.

Punch Bunny Information

Here's a photo showing the actual sizes of the ovals used to make the punch bunny.  My instructions confused some people and I thought this might explain the sizes better.

You don't have to use ovals exactly this size.  These are made the dimensions of the SU punches used to do the original bunny.  If you are cutting the ovals with your Expression, just pick a size that you like and you can adjust the size of the circles used for the body to work with your size,

My Expression never gets used without Design Studio so I had no problems adjusting the width of the oval to match the SU punches.

Hope this helps!

Punch Bunny

The internet is such a great source of ideas to try out!  Last night while checking out some different blogs, I ran across this simple little bunny.

All you need is an 1 3/4" circle punch, a 1/2" circle punch, and two sizes of ovals to make the body parts.  You can use a regular hole punch to do the black circles for the eyes and the pink for the nose. 

Just add a little shading around each of the white pieces, some dots on the eyes and cheeks, and lines for whiskers and toes and you're done. You can give him a little "attitude" by folding down one of his ears about half way if you want.

These little guys can multiply quickly if you need a lot of them for your grandchildren or Sunday school class, too!

Since the George cartridge has these basic shapes on it, you could make a bunch of bunnies in no time with your Expression.

Here's what you'll cut using George:
     2 circles 1.75 inches
     2 circles .5 inches for cheeks
     4 ovals 1.75 x 1.375 inches for foot pads
     4 ovals 1.375 x 2 inches for feet and ears

     hole punch circles for eyes and nose
