Today’s finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Piece! First, the “Bunny in Balloon” image was stamped directly onto Whisper White card stock with Jet Black StazOn. Then the balloon portion of the image was inked and stamped onto Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery papers from the Subtles Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack. The Pretty in Pink balloon and Certainly Celery bands and zigzag were snipped out and positioned as illustrated. The same process was followed with the Basket portion of the image and Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink pattern papers.
- Free-Stylin’! Certainly Celery hills were free-hand cut and the edges were distressed with Always Artichoke ink.
- Vellum Clouds! The Clouds from Up, Up and Away were inked with Jet Black StazOn and stamped onto White Vellum paper. These were snipped out and added to the sky!
- Bow Down to the Bow! A fabulous Pretty in Pink satin bow adds a sweet finishing touch! Sadly this gorgeous ribbon is now retired.
Paper Piecing may take a little bit longer, but what dimension it adds to the image! What do you think? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment?

Have to let you know that I pinned your darling vellum cloud card on Pinterest 7 day ago and have had over 20 repins. This design project is a BIG hit!
I loved this card the first time around, and I love it even more now. So whimsical and you created such a great feeling of motion with the elements. The vellum clouds are fabulous. Paper piecing is fun!
Happy Easter to you. Have a great time with the boxers. Beautiful Easter card.
Delightful creation! Love the vellum clouds. Thanks for the “buried treasure” and how to.
What a great card! I can see that little bunny throwing out some hearts for valentine’s day too. Good luck at the dog show.
I remember this cute card! But, the pieced hills I didn’t remember. I remembered the vellum clouds as well as the balloon and bunny with all the fun touches of pearls. So, fun to revisit your cards! Such a fun, bright, and cheery card on a dreary rainy day here. Thanks for the revisit! Hope you and the girls are having a good time and racking up more points etc.

I just love this card. I had my cards pretty well done by the time I got this set but am going to try to CASE something similar to yours next year.
I wish they’d bring back the Satin ribbon too!!! Your bow just adds so much to the already great card!
I love the patterned paper hills! awesome. such detail.
Ann this certainly warrants a second look and it’s so darn cute and just shouts EASTER! Love the colors, scene and of course the pearls. Happy Easter!
PS: I am sooooo happy to off the road and back home. Just going to do “nothing” and enjoy the weekend catch up in blog land. Hugs
Hi Ann… I see paper piercing in my very near future… never really have gotten into it, however after this card, I can’t wait to try it out. TFS your beautiful creations. Happy Easter!
Thanks for the blast from the past. Adorable card. I too wish SU would bring back the satin ribbon.
Good luck to the girls and Happy Easter.
Ann,
This card is beautiful!! I love the paper piecing on the balloon! SO Pretty!!
I always love seeing your “Buried Treasures” Ann! I love this Bunny card with all the paper piecing! Those rolling hills are so cute and that bunny is so adorable! Thanks for bringing back this sweet Easter card!
Good luck to the girls this weekend!
This is simply an amazing card. stunning!
Beautiful timeless card; would love to see it every year! Happy Easter.
Happy Easter Ann! Love your double takes on your cards from the past. They are always worthy of a second look! This is such a sweet little scene and so Springy! I’m so impressed with your vellum clouds and how the adhesive doesn’t show. Those cute little flowers just make me drool for warmer temps. Hope you and the girls are having a great weekend!
Oh how sweeet this is! So glad you showed it again.
Happy Easter, Ann!
Love the rolling hills on this pretty card and those clouds look great but that bunny on the hot air ballon steals the show. Thank you for sharing this super cute Easter card.
You’re right about paper piecing – I just love it…adds so much zing to almost any card and uses up scraps too : ) I was particularly enjoying the hills and when I read they were hand cut I was really impressed. The darker edging really sets them off. Great card, as usual : )
Hi Ann,
I just love the Bunny card it is so cute and the rolling hills are such a good addition. I have this stamp set and will make this card even though it is too late for Easter now. Next year. hahhahaha
