Hello friends and welcome.
Tonight the Art With Heart Team are sharing their creative Easter projects with you all.
Don't forget, Sale-A-Bration ends soon and you have just over a week to earn FREE products with a $90+ purchase. It's also a GREAT time to join Stampin' Up! Ask any of the girls on the hop for more details.
Now lets start hopping!
I have had this idea in my head for a while now, and thought that this was the perfect time to see how it would look in real life.
Here is my little explosion Easter egg box. It's simple to make and turned out really cute I think!
The base of the box is Very Vanilla and the reinforced lid is made using one of the patterns from the Bundle of Love Specialty DSP. Around the base of the box, I stamped the dotty image from 'Petal Palette' stamp set in Blushing Bride to coordinate with the DSP. The dots make me think of bunny paw prints! The greeting is from 'Sweet Little Something' and is stamped in Sweet Sugarplum for some depth of colour. The stamp is a one line stamp, but I just inked each word separately and stamped one under the other. It is cut with a Stitched Shape circle, I then layered it onto a punched circle and Scalloped Layering Circle Framelit.
Remove the lid and inside is one of our Tiny Treat Boxes filled with mini Easter eggs and some of the Ready Shreddie from the Occasions Catalogue! I added some more of the DSP to each panel.
I thought the recipient might like to reuse the treat box, so I didn't glue it down. Instead it just sits inside and when you lift it out, it reveals this cute little bunny from the 'A Good Day' stamp set. I stamped it in Memento ink and coloured with our Stampin' Blends.
To go with the box, I made this matching 3" x 3" gift card.
It combines punch art and die-cutting to create the sweet bunny.
I have used Stitched Shapes and Layering Ovals for her ears, a stitched circle for her face, the 1/2" circle punch for the cheeks and the Cookie Cutter Builder punch for her eyes, nose and mouth. I added a Glitter Enamel Dot to the nose and she's wearing a pretty pink bow made from the mini Tinsel Trim. I brushed on some Wink of Stella to the VV part of her ears for some extra sparkle!
The card front has been embossed with the Polka Dot Basics TIEF.
The gift set.
The DSP has Soft Sky in it so I had to make one in blue as well!
For a boy bunny, he had to have a gold bow-tie!
The boxes and the cards.

DeleteOh Em Gee! These are soooo cute! I love how you've done the two versions, both equally as adorable as the other. The cheeky side of me would have skipped the treat boxes so that the eggs went everywhere when the boxes were opened LOL
