Easter Swinging Spider Card

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. The spider is back! This time the spider is celebrating Easter. If you have been following me and this spider, this is the fourth card of the spider in which the spider celebrates a different holiday in every card. Below are links to the other four spider cards:

• Halloween spider card
• Christmas spider card
• Valentine's spider card

I die cut the spider webs using the full sized spider web die included in the Kat Scrappiness Creepy Crawly die set. I die cut this on white cardstock. I trimmed it in half. I blended inks on these spider webs and spritz it with pearlized water. 

For the spider, I die cut this on a light brown, and a white cardstock. I inlaid the white eyes die cut to the light brown spider die cut, securing it with tape on the back. For the bunny ears, I am using a bunny ear hat stamp from my stash. I stamped this twice on a sticky note. I fussy cut this and adhered it to a white and pink felt. I used the Post-it Note as a guide to cut the ears. I adhered the cut outs together using Glossy Accent. I trimmed the bunny ear hat cut out to make it into a head band. 

The eggs were die cut using a small egg die from my stash. I die cut the eggs on scrap patterned paper.

I die cut the grass on a light green cardstock. I blended a green dye ink on the pointy edge of the grass to add more depth to the grass. 

For the background, I created a cloud stencil by die cutting a sticky note with a cloud die. I blended a blue ink on the blue cardstock panel. 

The toughest part of the card is creating the interactive swing feature. Using a double adhesive tape, I adhered two pieces of clear thread to the back of the spider and the eggs. One piece was adhered at the center, and the other piece more on the top of the die cut. Using a pencil, I placed dots on the blue panel. These dots are the areas where the spider and the eggs are placed in the layout. I poked a hole thorough these dots. I threaded the center clear thread through this hole and secured it with tape on back. I secured it a bit loose so the die cut has some freedom to move. The thread on the top of die cut was adhered to the back of the spider webs. 

After the scene was put together, I stamped the sentiment using a black dye ink. I used the Misti Stamping Tool to stamp the sentiment. Because of the layers, I knew that I will need to stamp the sentiment more than once. And, I was right. It took me three times to get a crisp stamped sentiment.

I hope this card, especially the spider, made you smile. Maybe I should start giving this spider a name. Any suggestions?

Below is a short video, showing off the interactive feature of this card.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
