Spring Bunny Pull Tab Fun-fold Easter Card



I chose to use the Playful Pattern 6" x 6 Designer Series Paper for this project because of the round colorful circles that resemble Easter Eggs.  So the first layer is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" of Crushed Curry, scored and folded in half at 4 1/4".  The next layer is cut from Purple Posey, coordinating with the DSP, to 5 1/4" x 4" and can be adhered directly onto the Crushed Curry card base. 


Now the DSP layer is 5" x 3 3/4", but doesn't adhere until the pull tab mechanism is completely created.  Use the Classic Label Punch pushed all the way to the center of the card to punch out the slit opening for the pull tab.  Now, setting that piece aside, let's begin working on the pull tab mechanism.
I used the coordinating colors of Purple Posey and Basic White cardstock for this center, pull tab piece.  Use the scalloped squares of 2 1/2" and 2 1/4" from layering circles to cut one Purple Posey 2 1/2" scalloped square and two Basic White 2 1/4" scalloped squares. Also, cut one Purple Posey piece to 2" x 6", scored at 3 3/4" and 4".  Use the Scalloped Tag Punch to trim the end of the longer section.    After burnishing the two scorelines, put glue on the 1/2" section.  Place the Purple Posey scalloped square flush to the second scored line so that the scalloped square is on top of the 1/2" strip with the glue.  
Stamp the images and sentiments on the two Basic White scalloped squares, and color in as desired.  Wrap some Coral Calypso ribbon around the Basic White scalloped square, and use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere it to the front of the Purple Posey scalloped square.  Tie the Coral Calypso ribbon into a bow.  The second Basic White piece will need to be trimmed about 1/4" from the left to adhere onto the 2" inside square of the flap.  Slide the longer tag end through the DSP slit, adjusting it so that it does not extend past the card edge.  Then put some adhesive under the smaller flap of the pull tab to hold it in place on top of the DSP.  (You might want to try holding it in place and pulling the tab before using the liquid adhesive to permanently place it.)

 

To finish off the card, I inserted another piece of ribbon in the eyehole of the scalloped tag and made a quick, simple knot.  I used a piece of 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Basic White to stamp two chicks and another sentiment on the inside of my card.  Enjoy making it.
