For my project for Ms. Lynne’s birthday, I chose to do a March Hare.


I am a day late for the big birthday hop… Yesterday was her special day, and I am joining the hop on day two. So, according to the March Hare, I’m Late… for a Very important date.


The March Hare was a lot of fun to create with a Free SVG file from SVG Cuts. I tried something new with this little fella that I have not done before. I chalked the edges of my pieces in order to provide some dimension. For the most part I am pleased with the outcome, but think the tiny pieces could have been better. The saying “I’m Late… For a Very Important Date” came from the March Hare, so it was important that it be on this card for Lynne. I downloaded a free font, “Alice In Wonderland” and used that free font to create the back ground paper for the front of my card. I simply printed it out on my printer, then cut it to size.

The March Hare must have been heading to a party to be that frazzled because he was late. A tea party perhaps?


On the inside (left) of my card, I added a lace tablecloth (made from a paper lace doily) and two tea cups, perfect for a party for two. I welded the two tea cups together to make them look like they were toasting to Lynne’s special day. My hubby said they look like sunglasses laying on the table. So, to try to change that perspective, I added two stacked pop-dots to the bottom of the cups, and added just a single pop-dot to the top of the cup.

On the inside (right) I Printed a poem out on plain white card stock, rounded the edges before I glued it to the card. I accented the poem with a piping cup of hot tea and a tea bag.

Many wishes for a Happy Birthday my friend, even if I am a day late!






Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your tea and crumpets and your next stop is not Twiddledee and Twiddledum but Kari at http://purplefuntastickcreations.blogspot.com/
