Welcome to the newest Make My Monday bi-weekly challenge #272. I’m hosting this challenge and chose For a Guy of Any Age for the theme. I used the Easter Basket bundle from the current mini-catalog. It will be back in stock the week of March 2, 2026, so get ready to order it next week.
When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to both galleries. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
Here’s my card:
This card is for my great-nephew for Easter. I used the February Product of the Month DSP (designer series paper) for this card. I plan to use it for both the cards for both of my great-nieces as well.
As always with a fun fold card, I will be adding this to the Creative Creases Challenge where the theme is always Anything Goes with a Fun Fold.
Measurements and Such:
- The Pretty Peacock base measures 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 inches
- The DSP for the front measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- Since I didn’t want the back of the DSP showing, I trimmed a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock to the same size and adhered them together
- I cropped two arches from white cardstock and one from Pretty Peacock cardstock
- I cropped the basket from Crumb Cake cardstock and used a blending brush to add Crumb Cake ink
- Then, I used a Crumb Cake marker to outline the basket and added subtle lines to the basket handle
- The grass was cropped from Lost Lagoon cardstock and adhered to the bottom of the basket
- Both the grass and the scalloped layer on the basket have a mild arch to allow them to fit the shape of the basket perfectly
- Add the grass and scalloped layer using multipurpose liquid glue
- I stamped the duckling, rabbit, and carrot on scraps of white cardstock, then colored them with blends
- Finally, I cropped the eggs from the same DSP as the background panel on the front
- After adhering the DSP to the front panel, I adhered the layered arches
- I added dimensionals to the back of the basket, rabbit, and eggs to adhered them to the white arch
- I stamped the inside sentiment using Pretty Peacock ink and adhered the colored carrot and duckling and the Lost Lagoon grass
Thank you for stopping by today!
