Egg-Stra Awesome

Day 4 of the Easter Parade! and it’s Egg-Stra Awesome! This card uses the Basket Bunch Bundle on page 18 of the Occasions Catalog. I almost didn’t buy this set I was convinced it had way too many little pieces. I am glad I did, it has some great pieces in it that compliment other sets as well.

The cardstock is in the following sizes:
Whisper White 5 1/4 x 4, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2, 5 x 1 1/4
Sweet Sugarplum 7 3/4 x 5 1/2 (score at 1 3/4 & 6)
Rich Razzelberry (2) 5 1/8 x 1 3/8, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2
Succulent Garden DSP 1 1/4 x 5

I am going to give you step by step instructions so this card comes out beautiful and easy!

Cut the Doily with the circle die from Layering Circles that is just a little larger than the center circle of the doily. On your 3 x 4 Animal Party DSP cut the basket from Window Shopping Thinlits and two dies from the Layering Circles Framelits dies to make the handle (use the same one as you did for the doily and the next size up). Glue the handle to the doily. Place the doily/handle on the 5 x 3 3/4 Whisper White towards the top and center side to side, DO NOT GLUE DOWN! Stamp the greeting on the bottom right (notice my greeting is a little high and my doily is a little lower than it could be). Trace the center hole you created previously. Remove the doily/handle and adhere the Whisper White to the Bermuda Bay cardstock. Cut the hole in the two pieces of cardstock using the same circle die you used on the doily. Center the two pieces you just cut on the card base and draw a circle on the card base. Cut the card base using the same die you used previously for the hole. The reason for doing all the hole cutting separately is that the dies are not designed to cut through 3 sheets of cardstock. I found this to be the easiest way to do it.

Adhere the grass to the inside of the card with two of the Glimmer Eggs. The basket is attached to the doily and then attach the last glimmer egg and bow.
