Tutorial Tuesday: "Spring Wildflowers Bunny" SVG Cutz Make-a-Wreath Tutorial by Leigh

☘️ Happy March Creative Friends ☘️
 
"Spring Wildflowers Bunny"
SVG Cutz Make-a-Wreath
Tutorial by Leigh
 
 
Spring has sprung and Easter is just around the corner so here's a wonderful fun and easy Spring Wildflowers Bunny Wreath tutorial for you featuring decorative digi paper and SVG Cutz from my new Spring Wildflowers 2023 Collections๐ŸŒธ

 
The Spring Wildflowers ~ Make-a-Wreath ~ SVG Cutz Mega Kit is a 42 piece MEGA KIT that includes everything you need to create incredible 3D twig wreaths in various styles and sizes from fully assembled bunny shaped wreaths, bunny or traditional round wreaths using the separate elements and then customize them with a bouquet of pretty wildflowers and a variety of floral greenery and a multi-layered bow in any colour and style you want!  Pair this wonderful mega kit up with my Spring Wildflowers Decorative Digi Paper Packs or use your own papers and cardstocks for lots of fun Spring, Easter and year long floral crafting for years to come! 
 
 
 
Let's take a closer look at what you get in the Spring Wildflowers ~ Make-a-Wreath ~ SVG Cutz Mega Kit!  This super versatile mega kit includes 42 individual pieces:
You get one fully assembled bunny shaped wreath plus a matching mat layer to make the bunny I'm featuring today.  You also get 2 separate bunny ear wreaths as well as one small circle wreath and one large circle wreath that you can use to create your own bunny wreath and traditional round wreaths in a variety of sizes.  How big you can go is only limited to the size of your electronic cutting machine mat, so if you've got a 12 x12 or 12 x 24 inch mat you can make a huge bunny wreath when you start by sizing up the large circle wreath and cut it out of 12 x12 inch cardstock or rolls of vinyl!  Then you will have so much fun building your bunny wreath by adding the "head" and "bunny ears" to the "body" - you can play around with the position and tilt of the "head" and "bunny ears" and then customize your bunny wreath with the wonderful variety of 18 wildflowers and 9 piece floral greenery and matching mat layers and then finish off with a magnificent multi-layered bow!  This mega kit is truly a must for all your Spring and Easter paper crafting and home decor makes!

For today's tutorial I'm using the fully assembled one piece bunny wreath pictured on the far right of the above photo which works with your 8.5 x 11", A4 and 12 x 12 cutting mats.  You can size-up or down accordingly and I recommend that you group all the elements you intend to use together and size them all at the same time.  My Bunny Wreath today is 11 inches tall and about 5.5 inches at the widest point.
 
 
Using my Silhouette Cameo 4 and 12 x 12 inch cutting mat I cut the overlay twig wreath out of brown cardstock and the matching mat layer out of white cardstock.
 
 
I then used my new "Spring Wildflowers" Decorative Digi Paper Pack of 6 designs and "Misty Wildflowers" Decorative Digi Paper Pack of 6 designs to cut out a wonderful selection of wildflowers, greenery and bows.

 
 
Import the decorative digi papers into your cutting machine's design software and first print them out with your home printer using Silhouette's or Cricut's print and cut feature.  I then placed all the cut shapes onto the paper on my computer screen within Design Studio - as shown in the photo above - and cut them all out as shown in the photo below.
 
 
 
 Now you can play around with your collection of Spring Wildflowers and Greenery!  You can use them as single layers or add flower centers from the variety of shapes included in the kit with pop dots or take it to the next level and combine multiple floral shapes to create multi-dimensional wildflowers and even curl the pieces to enhance the 3D effect too!
 
 
The Bow comes with 5 layers which layer up to create a multi-dimensional bow, I used pop dots to make my pretty 3D bow!

 
The pretty Bow is so versatile coz you can use it all year long for literally any occasion from Birthdays to Christmas, the possibilities are endless and that goes for all the Wildflowers and Greenery too and of course all the circle wreaths are perfect for Christmas too!
 
 
I embellished the Bow and all the Spring Wildflowers and Greenery with Diamond Stickles glitter for lots of pretty sparkle!
 
 
I then had a ball decorating my Bunny Wreath with the pretty Bow, Spring Wildflowers and Greenery!  Look how stunning it turned out!  You will have so much fun with this wonderful mega kit!
 
 
My new Spring Wildflowers ~ Make-a-Wreath ~ SVG Cutz Mega Kit really makes it super easy for you to make amazing cards and home decor projects that look so professional and will WOW your friends and family so go add this wonderful SVG Cutz kit to your collection while it's on sale in the St Patrick's Day Sale!

Challenge #15 Spring Leprechauns Inspiration: "Top o' the Morning to You!" - St Patrick's Day Card by Leigh!

☘️ Happy March Creative Friends ☘️
 
Val and I wish you all a most joyous St Patrick's Day, may the luck of the Irish be with you today and always☘️
 
"Top o' the Morning to You!"
St Patrick's Day Card by Leigh
  
My Challenge #15 Spring Leprechauns inspiration for you today is a wonderful fancy cut-out aperture card featuring my St Patrick's Day themed digis included in this month's sale!
 

The fun focal point of my card is the cheeky Oddleigh Leprechaun, the senti is from the Paddy Balleigh Monster set and I created the gorgeous background with the Oddleigh 4 Leaf Clover Corner element included in the Oddleigh Leprechaun set.
 

I coloured the cheeky Oddleigh Leprechaun with Copics and Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut him and the senti out with offset borders using my Cameo 4.  I also cut out shadow mats for them out of black cardstock.
 
 
I've had the fun "Abstract Clover and Circles" card by Daniela Angelova in my Silhouette library for a few years and decided it was time to use it๐Ÿ˜‰  I cut the card shape out of black cardstock.  Using the Oddleigh 4 Leaf Clover Corner element included in the Oddleigh Leprechaun set I designed and coloured my decorative paper in Adobe Fresco and printed it out onto white cardstock.  I then created my own inset mat layers in Silhouette Studio for the card front following the card shape and cut the layers from my decorative paper.  
 

 I applied light green Spectrum Noir glitter ink to the Leprechaun's clothing and 4 leaf clover, the yellow swirls on the decorative paper with yellow glitter ink and all the coins with clear glitter ink to the for lots of magical shimmer.

 
Gold bling was a must and my stash of gold faceted adhesive backed gems in 3 sizes were the perfect size to decorate all the circles along the cut-out aperture.  I then completed my card by mounting the Oddleigh Leprechaun and senti onto the card front with black foam tape and adhering a panel of lime green cardstock inside the card that peeks dramatically through the fun aperture.
