How to Make an Easter Lamb Card
Adorable little lambs are a favorite Easter animal and that’s why we’ve included it in our Easter cards pack. We made a cute little black lamb with white fur but kids can choose any color variation they want to create their lamb card.
Step-by-step tutorial:
1. Print and cut out template
Get the lamb card template from our shop. Print out the lamb pattern page of the template on white cardstock. Cut out each of the lamb pieces from the template and use them as a pattern to trace and cut out each of the pieces on colored cardstock or construction paper.
If you chose not to purchase the template, you will need to cut out two lamb ears from black cardstock, a nose from pink cardstock paper, and some fluffy lamb hair from white cardstock.
2. Make a card
Cut a black piece of cardstock paper in half to create two cards. Fold a section of the black paper in half to create your card.
3. Glue ears & white hair
Glue the two lamb ears at the top and sides of the card and the white hair at the top of the card. Then glue the nose and googly eyes on the front of the card.
4. Add greeting card
Glue the “Happy Easter” greeting on the inside of the black card.
How to Make an Easter Bunny Card
Nothing screams Easter more than some cute bunnies! We’ve made this fun bunny card two different ways. One with two teeth ready to crunch on a yummy carrot, and one with a mouth and whiskers drawn on with a black marker. Choose your favorite, or have fun making both.

You can also cut out a white rectangle and draw a line down the middle with a black marker to make bunny teeth.
