Hello Crafty Friends!!
Larissa here today to share some SWEET Spring Critter Cards using the NEW Electro-Pop Flock, Enamels and Glitz Glitter Gels!! I LOVE to Create Cards with LOTS of Character and these CUTIES are sure to make anyone SMILE!!
Spring Critter Cards
I Started by creating ALL of the Bases for the Die Cutting I need to do!! I’m using the NEW Lawn Fawn Spring Critter Huggers Die Set to create some Bunnies and some Chicks!! I want to combine some other Sets in order to add some Elements to create some FUN Scenes and Elements for the Critters to hold!! It’s FUN to shop your Stash for a card like these and you can literally use them for ANY Occasion just by changing out the Sentiment you use!! Let’s get started!!
Electro-Pop Neon Flock
First I adhered the Electro-Pop Orange Glow Neon Flock sheets to some Neon Orange Cardstock using some Easy-Cut Adhesive!! Running it through my Die Cutting Machine in order to burnish it into the Adhesive adhered to the Cardstock!! I’m using this to Die Cut several Carrot Images from both the Lawn Fawn Stitched Garden Border Die Set and the Tiny Gift Box Bunny Add-on Die Set!! I Inked the Carrots up with some Ripe Persimmon and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink to add some Dimension and bringing out the Texture of the Flock!!
Electro-Pop Neon Flock
Next, I adhered the Electro-Pop Loud Lime Neon Flock sheets to some Neon Green Cardstock using some Easy-Cut Adhesive!! Running it through my Die Cutting Machine in order to burnish it into the Adhesive adhered to the Cardstock!! I’m using this to Die Cut several Carrot Base Top Images from both the Lawn Fawn Stitched Garden Border Die Set and the Tiny Gift Box Bunny Add-on Die Set!! I inked the Tops of these with some Lucky Clover and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink to add some Dimension and bringing out the Texture of the Flock!! Then I adhered the Carrots onto the Carrot Base Tops using some Ultra Bond Adhesive and set them aside!!
Electro-Pop Neon Enamel
Next, I Coated several Pieces of White Cardstock with Transfer Gel Duo using the Stencil Pal!! I set them aside to dry!! The Gel goes on White and Dries Clear, so that’s how you know when it’s completely Dry!! Once the Gelled Cardstock pieces were Dry I placed the Electro-Pop Neon Enamel in Orange Glow over the Gel and ran it through my Laminating Machine!! Then I was able to Die Cut the Chick Beaks and Feet!! NO MORE Nuvo Drops or Glossy Accents to get that Shinny Look!! SQUEAL!! These Enamel Sheets are PERFECT for that Glossy Look!! I inked the Edges of the Beaks and Feet with some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink for some Dimension!!
Once the Gelled Cardstock piece was Dry I placed the Electro-Pop Neon Enamel in Poppin’ Pink over the Gel and ran it through my Laminating Machine!! I used this to Die Cut some of the Eggs and a Bow!! It die cuts like Butter and the finish is just SO FUN!!
Once the Gelled Cardstock piece was Dry I placed the Electro-Pop Neon Enamel in Hello Yellow over the Gel and ran it through my Laminating Machine!! I used this to Die Cut some of the Eggs!!
Next, I wanted to Die Cut some Easter Eggs using the NEW Neon Glitz Glitter Gels!! So I Coated some White Cardstock with the Hello Yellow Glitz Glitter Gel using the Stencil Pal!! I literally used the LAST amounts of the NEW Neon Glitz Glitter Gels I had doing this, hence why some of the Cardstock pieces aren’t fully covered!! I actually like to do several of these sheets all at one time while I’m doing it, then I have them dry and ready to go as soon as I need them!! I wanted to make a Peep Style Critter Hugger Card and I just LOVE the way it turned out!!
I used Popping’ Pink on another Piece of White Cardstock using the Stencil Pal to spread it!! This is one of my FAVORITE colors!! I also used this Color to Die Cut the Cheeks and Inside of the Ears for the Critters and I LOVE this way it looks!!
To create the Sweet Bunny Spring Critters I’ve used the Flock Sheets to add that FUZZY Texture to them!! I Started by Adhering the White Latte Flock Sheets to some White Cardstock using some Easy Cut Adhesive Sheets!! Then run it through my Die Cutting Machine in order to burnish the Flock into the Adhesive adhered to the Cardstock!! I’m using the Spring Critter Huggers Die Set to Die Cut the Parts of the Bunny in order to create my Image!! I like to add Color to the Flock to make the Texture come to life!! For the Bunny I used some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I adhered ALL of the different elements together to create my Bunny adhering them with some iCraft Ultra Bond Adhesive!! Then I set them aside to dry!!
I Created the Scene by Die Cutting the Meadow Backdrop Portrait Panel and Inked it with Peeled Paint, Lucky Clover and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks!! I then created the Cloud Background using a Stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink!!
I Layered all of the Pieces together to create my Scene!! I used iCraft Ultra Bond Adhesive and Zots Bling Adhesive Dots to adhere them to the Card Panel!! I added some White Gel Pen Details and some Iridescent Jewels to finish off the centers of some of the Flowers!!
I wanted to create a few Pop-Up SURPRISES on this Card so I added a Grass Pop and added some Neon Loud Lime Flock Grass and some Neon Enamel and Glitter Glitz Eggs!! Then I hid a SWEET I LOVE You Tag underneath the Bunnies Arm when you open it!! Just makes me SMILE and I KNOW the recipient will SMILE in delight when they receive this Card!!
Here’s a Close up look at ALL of the FUN Details!! These are EASY to add to ANY occasion Card, just by switching out the Sentiment!!
For the Shaped Bunny Critter Hugger Card, I wanted to Create a Peep, Styled Card!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE Peeps this time of year and I thought it would be FUN to use the NEW Gina K Design Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel to create my own Glitter Cardstock to create the Peeps Bunny!! I added all of the other Die Cuts and Elements using iCraft Ultra Bond Adhesive and Zots Bling Adhesive Dots!! White Gel Pen Details add some Highlights and some Iridescent Jewels were added to the Flower Wreath I placed on her Head!! A Mini Gift Tag was added to finish off the Card!!
For the inside of the Card, I Die Cut the Pocket from some coordinating Cardstock and Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment using some WoW Neutral Shimmer Embossing Powder and some of the Mini Flowers and some Iridescent Jewels to finish off the inside of the Card!! You can add a Gift Card or some Money for a Spring Birthday!! I just LOVE how SWEET this turned out!!
To create the Sweet Chick Spring Critters I’ve used the Flock Sheets to add that FUZZY Texture to them!! I Started by Adhering the NEW Neon Hello Yellow Flock Sheets to some Neon Yellow Cardstock using some Easy Cut Adhesive Sheets!! Then running it through my Die Cutting Machine in order to burnish the Flock into the Adhesive adhered to the Cardstock!! I’m using t the Spring Critter Huggers Die Set to Die Cut the Parts of the Chick in order to create my Image!! I like to add Color to the Flock to make the Texture come to life!! For the Chick, I used Mustard Seed and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I adhered ALL of the different elements I Die Cut to create the Images together adhering them with some iCraft Ultra Bond Adhesive!! Then I set them aside to dry!!
How SWEET is this CONGRATS Baby Chick Critter Card!! I used the NEW Neon Hello Yellow Flock Sheets and Inked with Mustard Seed and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks for some Dimension!!

For the second Chick Critter Hugger Card, I wanted to create a Peep Style Card so I Die Cut the Image from some of the Cardstock that I coated with the Neon Hello Yellow Glitz Glitter Gel!! I Inked the edges with some Mustard Seed and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks and then I adhered to the rest of the Die Cut Images and Elements using iCraft Ultra Bond Adhesive and Zots Bling Adhesive Dots!! White Gel Pen Details add some Highlights!! A Mini Gift Tag was added to finish off the Card!!
For the inside of the Card, I Die Cut the Pocket from some coordinating Cardstock and Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment using some WoW Neutral Shimmer Embossing Powder and added a Mini Egg and a Heart to finish off the inside of the card!!
