Recycled Bunny Tree Card

Lydia shows you how to make a bunny tree card using images from old magazines. For this card, you will need to find a magazine page that includes an image you find appealing. You will also need two punches, a tree stamp, a black ink pad, neutral or craft-colored card stock, and adhesive. This simple card can be remade time and again and look unique every time by simply changing the image used for the leaves and bunny. You can choose any color combinations you find appealing, and vary the background pattern for added interest. It is a great way to return the trees that made the magazine back to their natural forms. A great recycling project.

I am a paper arts instructor in Austin, TX. I have a weekly instructional art show on local TV where I demonstrate making simple cards and gifts with rubber stamps and accessories, using a variety of techniques and graphic design principles.

I also do freelance graphic design and marketing and work full time as the Director of Market Development for a software company.

My work has been featured in OnStage Magazine and I was quoted in Martha Stewart's 15th anniversary edition of her magazine.

I adore this card making video! Handmade cards are great for personalizing any gift! Especially great if they are made of recycled paper too!
