Spring and Summer Teasers

Easter will be here soon, and the Host of my March in person stamp class wanted to make a card using the Easter Bunny stamp set. I saw a sliding card made by Kelly Atcheson, and used that idea to make a card where the bunny moves across the card when the inner piece is pulled out. This is a slimline card and will need a longer envelope. 
You will need:
8" X 8 3/4" Old Olive cardstock; score with 8" at top (portrait)
3 1/2" X 8 1/2" Designer Series Paper (DSP) this is from Rain or Shine Specialty 
3 1/2" X 8 1/2" Basic White cardstock (inside)
3/4" X 2 1/2" Basic White cardstock (mechanism)
Scrap Basic White cardstock (stamp 2 bunnies and color)
Watch the video for instructions and tips.

The other card is a taste of summer using retired stamp sets called Lemon Zest and Jar of Love. There is a stamp set in the January-April 2023 mini catalog called Sweet Citrus. The Brewed for You stamp set might be able to be used (mug or glass) instead of the jar. This idea came from cards I saw on Pinterest made by Karen Robinson, Linda Suarez, Heejung Hunsberger, and Laurel Seabrook. I used 2nd generation stamping for the lemons.
Card supplies:
5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Daffodil Delight cardstock; score in landscape at 4 1/4"
5 3/8" X 4 1/8" Old Olive cardstock 
5 1/4" X 4" Basic White cardstock (X 2)
1/4" X 7" (straw)
Scrap Basic White (whole lemon, lemon slice, leaves, jar)
Scrap Vellum cardstock (die cut outer jar)
The instructions and some helpful tips are in the video.
