As soon as Peep, from the Easter Friends Stamp Set, heard that Hop Hop, the bunny, was featured on a card, she said it was her turn. And, she had the grand idea of appearing through a “peep” hole.  She made me a little crazy, because she was asking for things from a bunch of different sets. 

First, Peep said you would want to know how she came to life. She was stamped in Mango Melody Ink, colored with a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend, cut free from Basic White Cardstock, and placed on Dimensionals.

Now that Peep was alive, I had to figure out how to make Peep’s peep hole. Beginning with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I layered it with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I used a Layering Circles Die to cut a 1 5/8″ circle through the layer and card base. 

Once the hole was there, I embossed a portion of the card front by running the entire card base through the Stamp n’ Cut and Emboss Machine with a Greenery Embossing Folder.

Next, I fussy cut pretty clouds from the Sale-a-bration, Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Paper, and attached them to the card front; one glued flat, and two on Dimensionals. There is a Cloud Punch for cutting the clouds, but a tool I don’t have. 

Peep said she wanted some Granny Apple Green grass, which we made using a Horizon Die and another pattern of Sunshine & Rainbows DSP. We extended the grass around her peep hole by using the same 1 5/8″ plain circle with the scalloped circle a size larger.

We found the small “hello” in the Sweet As A Peach Stamp Set, stamped it in Memento Black Ink, and used the small Ranunculus Die for cutting. After attaching it with Dimensionals, Peep wanted to add an Artistry Blooms Sequin to match the blue clouds.

Whew! Now, for the inside. After using the largest Scalloped Contours Die to cut a layer of Basic White Cardstock, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black Ink. “Happy Easter” is from the Easter Friends Stamp Set, and Peep said I HAD to use it. 

Finally Peep jumped on the card, very delighted that she can be seen through her peep hole. Hop Hop thought Peep did a great job. 

Peep said the Fusion sketch gave her the idea of a peep hole.
