Chocolate Bunny Humor - PP#89 Tickle your Funnybone

This post is for The Paper Players "Tickle Your Funnybone" challenge #89 to celebrate Humor Month.

I have lots of funny stamps but since I need to make an Easter card I thought I'd use one of my favorite stamps, "Chocolate Bunny" and add some humor. Here is my card.

Since I hate to waste any paper, I first punched the two 'eggs' from the center of the pink DSP with the large oval punch and set aside. Then I glued the DSP to the card front. I stamped the grass from "Inspired by Nature" and the sentiment from "Well Scripted" on the whisper white piece.

 Next I stamped my chocolate bunny in veramark and heat embossed with chocolate embossing powder. I just love this little bunny because it looks exactly like the Sander's Solid Chocolate bunny we got in our Easter baskets. Yummy.  

Then I glued this whisper white piece to the DSP piece.

I glued one of my eggs to the left of the bunny, then I ran a piece of sticky strip in a curve at the bottom of the bunny and over the first egg. I covered the sticky strip with some yummy pleated ribbon. The second egg was added with dimensionals over the ribbon to give it some interest.

Next I added my butterflies from the 'Butterfly Embosslit' and the smallest butterfly went right on the bunny's nose! Too cute, eh? Well this is my humor part!   

The inside was finished with the sentiment and images from "Easter Blossom". Done!

Hope you liked my bunny humor and hope it tickled your funnybone!

Chocolate Easter Bunny {PPA84}

Hi everyone!

 I am posting for the Pals Paper Arts 'Spring - Easter' challenge #84 today. Oh how I wish it WAS spring here in Michigan, but we keep getting pounded with SNOW. Just when you think it's over and you can see the grass............ you wake up to more of the white stuff! 

 I am so over the winter and I just can't wait for SPRING to get here.

Well I decided to get out my sweet little chocolate Easter Bunny stamp that I showed up in last years mini but is now current. When I saw it, I just had to have it because it reminds me of the Sander's 'solid' Chocolate Easter Bunny we would get in our Easter baskets. We didn't have much growing up (but we never noticed) and to get a genuine SOLID chocolate bunny in our Easter basket was the Best thing ever;  and my mom always made sure it was Good Sander's chocolate! Yeah baby! Anyway that stamp is the Exact replica of that Sander's bunny. I can almost taste it. But since Sander's is no longer around............ I just had to pop a Hershey's chocolate kiss in my mouth so I could finish this post.

 Well enough of that... here is my card. I had this great plan to frame it and give some dimension. Well...

 I don't like it as well as the one I made last year, but it will have to do. Between you and me.... it looked much cooler in my mind!

I started with a olive card base than stamped my grass from 'Inspired by Nature' in olive, then heat embossed my 'Chocolate Bunny' in chocolate chip embossing powder on whisper white card stock.

I stamped the sentiment from last year's SAB in taken with teal. [in hindsight I would use Pear Pizzazz CS in place of the Olive].   

Then I used my Ovals die to cut some Easter eggs out of my scraps. I popped the top egg with a dimensional and poked the top out of the frame. I also used my Butterflies embosslit to get a few butterflies from scrap retired DSP, and the tiny one I placed on the bunny's nose.  Too cute, don't you think?

Now for the frame... I wanted to use the Top Note die to frame my bunny, so I die cut it in pale pink. Then I used the negative piece from the die cut and popped it up with dimensionals.

Then I used the Top Note piece on the inside to mount my sentiment on a W.W. egg in Taken with Teal ink and sponged the edges lightly.  I stamped a small bunny in choc. chip and added a few more scrap DSP eggs, and the mid sized butterfly to add touches from the front.

 Done. Hope you like my spring theme card.
