Hoppy Easter

With Easter fast approaching, I am trying to get those special and unique cards done.  I chose to use the new Hiding Eggs Bunny from KaDoodle Bug Designs to make this fun and interactive card.

Totally cute file right?!?!  I LOVE these sweet little bunnies.  And here's my fun card. 

Here's the inside all decorated before the panels are expanded.

The full card expanded.

Here's a quick tutorial to make your own accordion card:

Cut 3 pieces of solid cardstock ~ 2 @ 5" x 5" and 1 @ 5" x 8" 

The 5" x 8" piece will allow for 6 tiles, if you need more just add 1" to the end of the 5" x 8" piece - if you want less tiles, subtract 1".

Score the 5" x 8" piece every 1/2".

Using some double sided tape, adhere the front and back base pieces to the accordion.

Take a long piece of ribbon and adhere it to the BACK of the card only.

I then added my mats for the front and inside of the card.  When attaching the front cover, be sure not to stick adhesive where the ribbon will be.

To create the little tiles, you will need to cute 18 squares, measuring 1.5" x 1.5" out of solid cardstock. In addition, cut 18 squares 1 3/8" x 1 3/8" out of patterned paper.

Add double sided tape to ONE edge of the solid square.  

Carefully adhere the square to the top section of your accordion, leaving about 1/8" space on the side.

When finished with that row, continue to the bottom row of the accordion.

Turn your card around and going the opposite direction, place your middle row tiles spaced evenly between the top and bottom.

Now you can decorate your tiles, cover and inside to your liking.

My middle panels are made to resemble a bunny leaving eggs and his little hopping trail.  I added some grass and clouds to make it look like a spring day.  

Here's the card in motion.

Hope you have enjoyed this card as much as I have creating it =)
