Easter Bunny Carrot Door Hanger Pouch and Card

Look what I made today! In preparations up to my eyeballs for the upcoming monthly meeting of my Big Shot Budget Buster Club, I have been making things for just about every holiday year-round. But my favorite has got to be these carrot door hanger pouches!

These are made from the
Big Shot Pennant Bigz XL die. If you cut out the pennant the ordinary way, it is too wide of a
triangle and just doesn’t really say “carrot.” I learned that if you angle your
paper on top of the die so that the one end  of the folded side is
touching the bottom point of the pennant, but the OTHER end is one inch away
from the top edge of the normal pennant, you will get a much nicer carrot
shape.

I trimmed off the top scallop on either side as well. Cut two from
Apricot Appeal and sponge with Tangerine Tango. I also stamped the stem lines
from Fifth Avenue Floral for the little lines on the carrot.

 After that it was a matter of doubling a piece of Glorious
Green and trimming it into “grass” with my scissors. I spritzed them with water
to make them pliable and curled them in different directions with my bone
folder. Attached them with dimensionals and added Certainly Celery ribbon to
hang it.

 The carrot card is the bottom of the big pennant, left
folded, same thing with the grass. I haven’t tried either of these two projects
with the smaller, fatter pennant, but I imagine as long as you angle your
folded paper as directed above, you will wind up with much the same results.

So there you are! Sale A Bration is the perfect time to buy this Pennant die, and if you order before my club on Monday night, you can come for FREE to that meeting and learn MANY different ways to use it, other than the ordinary pennant/banners (which are fun too,  and quite addictive!)
