Happy Easter! I have several Easter projects to share so I'll be sharing the card and lollipop holder project we sent our granddaughter today and post the rest of the projects later this week.
Our Easter card for our granddaughter was inspired by
Sam Calcott's video tutorial on You Tube for her Fabulous Flip Cards.
I used the adorable bunny cutting files from Marjorie Ann Designs "Bunny Patch" to decorate the first panel on my card. I thought the bunny on the scooter was so cute! Then I added a colorful egg from My Scrap Chick "Easter Chicks Bundle" to the back rack of the scooter for Miss Bunny to deliver.
On the second panel I added a personalized road sign so Miss Bunny would know where to deliver her decorated Easter egg. "Happy Easter" was die cut from "Easter Border Die" and grassy background from "Stitched Hillside Borders Die", both from Lawn Fawn.
Here's the fun part of this interactive card; pulling on the tab on the left of the frame pulls the double frame forward and to the left...
.... while swinging the two front panels open!
Retired dies "Easter Basket" and "Bunnies and Chicks" from Sizzix were used to create the Easter scene on the inside panels. I really like the fun and dramatic movement of this swing-type card and am looking forward to making this often.
A week prior to Easter, I put together a mini craft kit to make these lollipop holders to send to our granddaughter.
I used My Scrap Chick's "Bunny Sweet Treat Belly" file to cut all the pieces and mailed them together with this instruction sheet and enough ribbon, tape, and lollipops to make ten lollipop holders.
Our granddaughter is at the age where she thoroughly enjoys playing with crayons, scissors, paper and glue. (Just like gramma!) But being that she lives many ocean miles away we aren't not able to play together as much as we'd like so I decided to make and send her crafting kits so she can get creative and play just like she would if we could be together. Hope she had fun putting these together and sharing with her friends!

Oh, such fun crafts for your grand daughter. She must have been thrilled to receive them and the craft kits. What great ideas! I'll have to start thinking about kits to make for my grand sons. Your interactive card is awesome! It sort of looks like the ones I posted but a hundred time better...hahaha! I cheated and used Doodlebug die cuts...no interactive parts except for the shaker confetti. LOL! I'm pretty sure my grand kids would destroy the handcrafted card and just be interested in the lollipop. Oh well, boys will be boys! Thank for sharing your ideas and photos.
