Easter Bunny Fancy Favour Box with a How To Pictorial

Following on from the Easter Chick posted yesterday…. here comes the Easter Bunny!!!

Quite a  bit more punching to do to make this one (wasn’t there Karen!!!) but so so worth it!!

And for you girls local to me… these are 2 of the projects  we are making in classes this week… a couple of spaces left on Monday night and Tuesday morning if you can make it…..

As in my “ever-so-popular-at-the-moment” post of the Top Note  Easter Bunny last year… again I couldn’t resist adding the goofy teeth…. but he has a little pink tounge too this year – care of the Little Labels punch pack ( which has just had its first outing!!) Actually having just searched my blog for this post I obviously have a thing about doing Easter bunnies with goofy teeth!!

And another pictorial for you….

Scallop Square #16 & #17 – Anyone for a Creme Egg box?

I totally forgot to post these at Easter….. Silly me…. as they were very popular with kids and adults alike…. And then I had to find Creme Eggs the other week…. ( as the originals had been eaten !! Don’t know who by!!??) which was harder than first imagined….. so a big thanks to Lisa for finally spotting some in the market..

I  used Creme egg co-ordinating colours for the first one  - along with the cute Everybunny stamp set and not-Creme Egg- colours for the other – along with the “old” Sale A Bration stamp set Fresh Vintage and the Postage Stamp Punch.

The Scallop Square die cut is just a regular 9 scallop square one for the box top and bottom on the Everybunny one. Just scored in 3 scallops from each side.

But spot the shorter lid and the little scalloped base on the Postage Stamp one… yes – these are also done using the Scallop Square die…. Another double-cut trick here.

1. Again cut card to one scallop larger than you require and at 1/2” per scallop  – so for this finished 4 scallop square base  - cut a 2 1/2” square to cover 5 scallops….. or a 4” square to cover 8 scallops for the 7 scallop lid piece.

2. Place the cut card piece over a corner of the die so that 5 scallops (or 8 for lid) are covered in each direction.

3. Die cut

4 Pick up your card piece, turn so that the scalloped edges are within your die and place 4 scallops (or 7 for lid) in on the 2 corner sides ( with the end scallops nicely lined up within the cutting edge of the die …)

5. Die cut.  Finished!! 

And here are some photos to show what all those words actually mean for the 4 scallop base – on the die so to speak!!

   

And for the shorter ( 7 scallop) lid – score in 3 scallops from 2 opposing sides and then  2 scallops in on the other 2 opposing sides….. The base is the regular 9 scallop die cut – scored 3 scallops in from each side.

Easter Lindt Bunny Explosion Box aka Scallop Square Die #3

And now for one of my favourite projects using both the Scallop Square Die and the Everyday Enchantment Sale-A-Bration papers....  Along with the really cute Everybunny stamp set.

An explosion box with the lid made out of a die cut Scallop Square. With a nice chocolate surprise inside!!! Perfect for an Easter treat...... this fits a mini gold Lindt chocolate bunny perfectly!!!

I have to thank one of my new ladies  - Sally - for the idea of an explosion box holding a little bunny..... what a great idea Sally!!! Your wish is my command........ This was one of the projects we did at my Easter Treats class on Saturday - so your idea was appreciated by many!!!

This time the Scallop Square die cut was scored at 2 scallops in at each side to make the lid. The Itty Bitty Flower and Blossom punches came to their own here too - 2 little Pink Pirouette blossoms shaped and glued together with a pearl in the centre to finish.

The clouds behind the bunny heads were punched using the cupcake punch - perfect for the job! And funnily enough my first outing for this punch.... have to do cupcakes next!!!

And finally a view from the top.... aren't those bunnies cute!! And the chick too...
