Isn't this the sweetest little Easter bunny : ) This is the Curvy Keepsake Box all done up for Easter and this month's 3D Stamp Clubproject. The Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits die is one of the items carried over from our Holiday Catalog and it's super easy to die-cut and assemble! I love that you can open and close it without destroying the box in the process, so it's re-usable! Finished size is 2 1/2" x 2 3/4" x 2 1/2", and it'll easily hold a whole cream filled egg or a small gift!
There are four dies included, the box and three tags.

For today's project, I used several punches to create my Easter Bunny, but you can change it up and decorate it for any occasion!!
Oh so cute!!! These darling Easter Boxes would be pretty in every color of the rainbow! They're made from what I have always called 2, 4, 6, 8 boxes...a half sheet of card stock scored at 2", 4", 6" and 8", then turned and scored at 2" to create the bottom flaps...super easy!! One of my fellow demonstrators in the UK, Sam Donald, came up with these and I couldn't resist CASEing them! Love the windows created with Oval Punches!! See her video tutorial here.
I did create my own tags for these by punching an Extra-Large Oval from Whisper White card stock and using the brush tip of my markers to create my own gingham pattern on the bottom half. I added the sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set and some Itty Bitty flowers punched from the Subtles Designer Series Paper. The cute polka dotted cellophane bags come in the Twisty Treats Kit...one of the free Sale-a-Bration items you can choose with a $50 purchase during the Sale-a-Bration promotion.
Today's Easter card was stamped with the Blessed Easter single stamp from the Occasions Catalog (pg. 20). I used the Stripes Embossing Folder to create the pretty Gingham pattern. This is one of the free projects we did at Stamp Clubthis week.
My Stamp Club meets the 2nd Tuesday and Thursday of each month, and new clubs are starting in April. Contact me if you'd like to become a member, I still have one space for Tuesday night and one space for Thursday night. Learn more Here.
I love this floral print from the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Papers...it'sso beautiful! I used Pistachio Pudding Card Stock and Organza Ribbon for a soft, Springtimelook. The "Happy Easter" sentiment is in the Delightful Dozen stamp set,perfect for lots of occasions all through the year (see all twelve below).
Today's card is one of three projects included in this month's Quick & Easy Cards Kit available to purchase and stamp at this month's Free Stamp Night, Tuesday, March 18th. For more information, click the "My Monthly Events" tab above.
My project today is a basket made with the large tag from the Two Tags Bigz Die and Daffodil Delight Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper. This would make such a cute Easter or May Day basket...or even favors for your Easter brunch or dinner table. I decorated it with the Mixed Bunch flower and coordinating Blossom Punch embellished with a Brights Designer Button.
Here's a softer version done in So Saffron Card Stock and Floral District Designer Paper. To give the flower some dimension, I cut into each of the petals and fluffed them a little.
This was the free 3-D project my Stamp Club made this month. There is still one space open if you're local (Johnson County Kansas) and would like to join us! Just contact me to find out more!
Today's Easter Card was inspired by the beautiful patterns in the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper. The soft, subtle colors are perfect for Spring. I cut 1/2" strips of the different patterns to create the striped pattern, then added the Delightful Dozen sentiment and a couple of easter eggs from the Spring Sampler. The Natural Trim Ribbon coordinated perfectly.
You'll find the designer paper, Natural Trim Ribbon and Spring Sampler stamp set in the Spring Catalog.

Aren't these cute!! They're chocolate nugget holders and each of the animals was created with punches! I've shared my bunny and chick before, but the lamb is an idea I found on the demonstrator website...it's been done by many, so I'm not sure who the original idea came from, but it's too cute! These will make sweet Easter Treats : )
The list is long, but here are the supplies I used to make all three...
Today's Easter Matchbox was our 3D Stamp Club Project this month. We used the Matchbox Die and Designer Frames Embossing Folder with the XL Oval Punch to create this. The box is super easy to assemble and adding the window makes it really special! This is an Easter version of my Valentine Matchbox. I just switched the color and decorations and added the "Happy Easter" wording from the Teeney Tiny Wishes Stamp Set. To see the video tutorial for creating the Designer Frame Matchbox, click here. For written instructions and complete supply list, click on the link...
At the time the video and project instructions were posted, the Designer Frames Embossing Folders were being offered free as a Sale-a-Bration item...the offer was only good during Sale-a-Bration 2012.
This is my version of a Punch Art Chick. Lots of punches were used to make this, you'll find them in my supply list. The colors are Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral, I used the Everyday Enchantment Organdy Ribbon for her little bow. The 1"x 8" Cellophane Bag is filled with Starburst jellybeans and then I attached the chick to the top of the bag with a dimensional.
I couldn't decide whether I liked the small white circles on her eyes or not, here's what she looks like without them...
I'd love to have your opinions, please leave a comment. Thanks : )
Update: The video is ready. Thanks for all your comments, I love hearing from you, and really appreciate your opinions and ideas! It was suggested that try using the white gel pen to finish the eyes...and I do like it better : )
A Helpful Tip: I haven't used my gel pen in a long time and it appeared to be dried up. Just unscrew the tip of the gel pen and remove the inside tube. Blow into the end of the tube a few times and it will get the ink flowing...it really works!!!
Check out my bunny...I think he turned out so cute! I have seen many different versions of punched bunnies and took ideas from all of them to create my own. I'm really pleased with the way he turned out :) This little basket was made with the Baskets & Blooms die modified to this mini size.
This is one of the free projects my Stamp Club members made this week. If you live in the Kansas City area and would like to join my monthly Stamp Club, Contact Me.
