I'm Quirky Well die-ing for Christmas In July!

So.... here it is!! Christmas in July, plus use die cuts and or punches. Couldn't be easier! That's my challenge, which has started over on Quirky Crafts Challenge blog. I've spent all week, trying to find my Big Shot, I mean...how can one lose a Big Shot...the times I've caught my ankle on the handle if it's on the floor!! I found it, minus all it's bits so then begun hunting for dies cuts I'd already cut out....  did find a few, but not cut out of Christmas paper, so I went ahead and printed out this cute little rabbit from Delicious Doodles a few times.

 I'd chosen 'Christmas Collection Paper Stack' by Kate Knight which was a freebie from Quick Cards Made easy magazine some time ago. They're not the normal colours for Christmas, but as the theme is Christmas in July, well...bright happy sparkly papers are just the ticket I think! 

Once I'd printed out the bunny in his stocking I had the idea of printing him on some of the papers too. So, using a dab of photo glue, (so I could peel it off easiler afterwards) I stuck them on a sheet of paper and printed bunny all over again, so most of him and his stocking were now coloured by the backing papers. 

I cut these out and fixed them over the white bunnies (I had loads over so I've made another card, I'll show you that later in the week) I coloured the bunny with Promarkers and then, (there's always more) decided to 3D him. I was going to add a third layer with just the bunny's head (no ears or paws) But I couldn't cut him! He's too cute, and if I did, I wouldn't have been able to make another card....any way it still makes a nice 'shadow' under his chin and makes him look more life-like.
Once all that was done he was fixed onto a die cut by 'Darice Embossing'.
Down one side  of the card I fixed some sparkly ric-rac ribbon , but then decided to cover that with the pink web ribbon. I then added silver miri board snowflakes punched out with a Woodware punch and added gems to their centres, then added loads of glitter, a stocking charm, a holly sticker and a Merry Christmas peel off...which of course are die cuts too.

Inside I thought I'd add another bunny using all the 'bits' I had left over from printing on the backing ppers. The Merry Christmas was stamped onto a Spellbinder diecut. , using Really Raspberry ink.
That's it! Back to walking the dogs, we've had four this weekend, with some staying over, great doggy fun! Thank you for stopping by! oh, yes I forgot to say, I found my Big Shot! I hope to add this to a few...
