Even though it's just a few days away from Easter, you still have time to make that Easter Card for someone special. Here's a quick one using products from American Crafts and Doodlebug designs inc.

Take a piece of 15 x 15 buttercream card and fold in half.
Cut out several eggs from American Crafts Backyard crackle and layer them along the top and bottom edge of the card attaching with ds tape or glue.

Attach a piece of Olive Card 14.5 x 10.5 cm in the centre, attach to a 90 x 100 cm piece of butter cream card 4 fancy brads or eyelets. The Easter egg eyelets used on this card are part of the Fancy Brad range by Jade.

Attach the buttercream card to the middle of the olive card

Attach a bunny brad from the Doodlebug Design Inc boutique brad range to the corner of an Olive card 6 x 5cm. Attach this to the middle of the butter cream card.

Attach a Happy Easter sticker in the middle.

This card format is a great way to use up small off cuts.
As well as it being Easter just a few days away, it also means the start of school holidays a finding ways to keep kids amused and occupied and away from using that dreaded "I'm bored" saying.
