Challenge #9 - Easter, bonus technique Extra Folds (more than one fold)

Another month is upon us.  Thanks to everyone who entered our February challenge with their inspiring recycling and frugal papercraft projects.  It was wonderful to see too, that a couple of people put Susan's wonderful paper bead tutorial to good use.  I really liked the variety of ways these beads were used on your creations. i.e. create a discus (flower) design, handle for oven, edge a box....all terrific.  It was also great to see the array of papercraft projects this month scrapbooking, boxes and flowers.

Our Design Team Favourite for the month of February is...........drum roll please.......

Michelle (Whirligig)

Michelle created this awesome scrapbook page of her son at Little 'A's.  

Michelle was being very frugal and using up her scraps of patterned paper to create this dazzling design on her page.  Michelle even took up the challenge of adding paper beads to her scrap page.

Monica

Has used textured white card stock and have made the bunny with her Cuttlebug round nesties, Mc Gill label punch and Carla craft punch.

The details of how to make this bunny can be found here...

The DP is a free-bie from Card Making and Paper Craft magazine.

For the inners of the bunny's ears, Monica cut the same oval punch into two and shaped it a bit with  scissors.

The bunny has been sponged with TH distressed ink - Spun Sugar. The paws have been coloured in with colouring pencils. Monica stuck googly eyes and some ribbon on the bunny.

The lace border on top and picket fence are Martha Stewart punches. The eggs were sent to Monica by a dear friend.

The tiny pink flowers on the bunny's ears and the border have been cut out of a ribbon. The pink ribbon at the bottom is from her stash.

Stacie

A great example of a papercraft project other than a card.

Susan

Susan used her Spellbinders Egg die and then embossed with several different embossing folders. The flags are from the Spellbinders Pennants die, which she inked before removing the die. The pebble letters are stick-ons. Susan stitched the white background onto the Pool Party background, then stitched some orange bag nylon onto the card to form the nest! 

Annmaree

This is a Gate Fold card.   The rabbit image tag flap across the centre opening of the card.  Annmaree used her Cricut and paper punches for this card.

Beth

Has used a Greg Sukendro design this month.

Beth has used Bazzil basics cardstock, Tim Coffey 6 x 6 DSP, Stampin Up punches and a Kaiser Circle punch.  Each piece of the bunny is indivdually cut, inked, shaped then constructed. The sentiment is computer generated.  The Card is a Buckle card (tutorial here at Craftmad) in that the tab on the right hand side goes behind the circle topper into a slot.
