Welcome to the August 2020 InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Autumn Weather. To make my card, I used the Freezin’ Fun Bundle (Freezin’ Fun and Freezin’ Friends Dies,) Snow Time Dies, Autumn Punch Pack, Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, and lots of colors of card stock.
To set the scene, imagine, this cute little bunny just minding his own business, hanging out in a big pile of leaves. And then all of a sudden, a big gust of wind threatens to move the pile right out from under him. Poor little guy. He doesn’t seem to mind though. As a matter of fact, he seems to be enjoying having his ears flapping in the wind.
Since I wanted the leaves to look like they’re blowing off the card, I made the card base 5-1/4″ x 4″ (just a tad smaller than the usual 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″.)

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/4″ x 8″, then scored in half at 4″
- Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″ (Crumb Cake pattern)
- Whisper White CS cut to 5″ x 3-3/4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Freezin’ Fun stamp set:
- skiing bunny in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- skiing bunny in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of the DSP (Pretty Peacock pattern)
- sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- “wind” in Early Espresso ink onto the DSP layer, on the right
Cut using the Freezin’ Friends Dies:
- both stamped bunnies
Cut using the Snow Time Dies:
- sentiment (then cut off the right end straight)
Cut using the Autumn Punch Pack:
- both leaf shapes from scraps of various colors of card stock: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Rich Razzleberry, Cinnamon Cider, Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, and Mossy Meadow
- I didn’t count the leaves, but I started out with at least four of each color (2 of each shape,) then punched more to add in here and there. I would guess I used about 50 or so.
Cut using Paper Snips:
- scarf from the DSP bunny
- excess skis from the Whisper White CS bunny (although I could have gotten away without doing this because I used enough leaves to cover them)
Colored using a Stampin’ Blends Marker:
- bunny nose in Light Flirty Flamingo
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base
- DSP scarf glued over the Whisper White bunny’s scarf
- bunny glued onto the DSP layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- adhered leaves on and around the bunny using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and glue, to create a 3D pile of leaves
- more leaves glued onto the DSP layer to look blown over to the left
- sentiment adhered over the leaves at the far right of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
This is totally adorable! Love the bunny. And now I want those punches!
Oh yes, Jackie, you have to get these punches! Thank you so much!
LOL – I had a good chuckle with that bunny blowing in the leaves.
Glad I could make you chuckle!
So cute Candy! the leaves really are blowing off the card – I’m surprised the bunny hasn’t moved!! I like your choice of plaid for a subtle background. Adorable card.
Thanks, Linda!
I absolutely love this card and the bunny with all the leaves are perfect together! You can see the movement and FUN! How creative! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, Sheryl!
Such a super-cute concept – and it’s well-executed, too, Candy! Love the colors you’ve chosen for the leaves. So fun to see that bunny jumping into (or out of) the pile of leaves. Love!
Candy, my personal RockStar, this is absolutely gorgeous! I wondered about the freezing until I saw the.bunny.
Thanks, Robbye!
I so love that you used a winter stamp set on an autumn card! So clever, to imagine the bunny’s ears flying on a leaf pile. Wonderful!!!
Thank you so much, Sheryl!
I just love that cute bunny peeking out of the pile of leaves! What fun!
Thanks, Robin!
Poor little bunny feels like most of us do in 2020! Such a cute idea for a card. I love it ❤️
Thanks, Pam!
So cute!!! I love that huge pile of leaves you created. Just adorable
Thanks, Jennifer!
Candy!!!! This is sooooo cute!!! I had commented on Brian’s post that it made me want to go jump in a pile of fall leaves – then I come to yours and find this cuteness!!!! This is such a brilliant take on the theme!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Joanne!
When I first saw the stamp set, I thought it was going to be a winter card – love what you did with it! So colorful!
Thanks, Rachel! It was the stamp I used for the wind that brought this stamp set to my attention for this card.
All the leaves with the bunny in the middle! It reminds me so much of growing up. Love the card!
Aw, thanks, Sue!
