Today I wanted to share another fun take on the March 2020 Small Die of the Month Kit. Previously, I shared a carrot shaker card made with the kit, but after giving the dies another look, I thought the carrot shape made a great little egg too (with some help from a spray of spring foliage). Add a touch of foiling, and you have a pretty springtime or Easter greeting card!
FOILED POLKA DOT BACKGROUND
- Trim a piece of Shimmery Lavender Cardstock to 3.875″ x 5.125″.
- Warm up the Scattered Dot Pattern Glimmer Foil Plate on your Glimmer Hot Foil System. Add Prism Hot Foil and the Lavender Cardstock on top and run through your diecutting machine.
FOILED SENTIMENT
- Apply Fuchsia Flower Hot Foil to white cardstock using the “greetings” sentiment from the Yana’s Sentiments Hot Foil Plate Set and your Glimmer Hot Foil System.
- Die cut the foiled sentiment out using the coordinating die and then die cut three more blank sentiment shapes out of the same white cardstock.
- Stack the sentiment shapes and adhere together using liquid glue.
DIE CUT FOCAL IMAGE
- Die cut the carrot shape out of Shimmery White Cardstock and reserve only the center portion to form the “egg” background for your bunny.
- Die cut the leafy stems and small flowers out of Shimmery Mint, Pink, and Blue cardstock. Shape the flowers a bit using a ball stylus.
- Assemble the standing bunny with Pebble, pink, and black cardstock.
CARD ASSEMBLY
- Adhere the foiled background to a piece of Purple Mist Satin Cardstock measuring 4″ x 5.25″ with tape runner, and then pop the matted panel up on top of a top-folding A2-sized white card base using foam adhesive.
- Adhere the egg and bunny to the card front with foam adhesive and the sentiment to the lower right corner with liquid glue.
- Arrange the leafy stems and flowers at the base of the “egg” in a configuration that covers and rounds the bottom of the shape a bit. Adhere everything down with strong liquid glue.
I hope you enjoyed this fun take on the March 2020 Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Kit.

OMG! Your card is so cute! I am going to go find your youtube channel. I joined Spellbinders card kit of the month back in October because of a youtuber who did the 10 cards 1 kit video. I am new to cardmaking and it is so nice to have people like you who share their ideas so we can get an idea of what to do with the kits. Thank you so much for sharing your inspiration, I appreciate it so much!
So adorable. I love your card.

I just adore the color combination and turning the carrot into an egg – inspired! I want the Glimmer Hot Foil System. Thanks for sharing your inspiration for this card!
I love that carrot die and you used it so cleverly to make an egg. Love the lavender paper and bright purple sentiment.
A beautiful CAS card! I love it!!
absolutely love these cards and showing the use of the scattered die glimmer plate with your design. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Looking forward to creating with these sets.
Such an amazing take on this kit. I think this is my favorite card in the entire blog hop! Purple is my favorite color and the background is just enough, but not too much. Using the carrot as an egg, is brilliant. Then the little bit of greenery, flowers and a sentiment finish it off, brilliant.
Pretty background and I like that you turned the carrot into an egg.
