More Easter Baskets

Hello, hello, hello!!!I hope you had a Happy Easter, my friends. I've been busy fulfilling orders and preparing for easter I just didn't get to share that much last week. Plus, my dear sister is in town with my nephew and I just wanted to put family first before anything else. I'm sure we all need our family time.
Here are some colorful cutie baskets to share. It's actually half-completed where I made little daisies for the handle ends. Of course, I made bunnies for these babies, too. I also made some smaller version of them too which will be shared to you on my next post.

Here's a cute picture of my Easter ensemble with my cute Easter Snoopy plush.

Sunburst Flower Treats

The first name that popped in my dad's head when I asked his thoughts about this project, he immediately suggested that they look like "sunburst flowers" to him. Thus, gave birth to the name of these treats. hihi.

Aren't these sooo cute. I used the SU! Treat Cups #116802 on both sides sealing them back to back. Then cover these cups with 2 XL Flower Folds BigShot die #115970 on both sides. Don't forget to adhere the flowers together on its petals.

You must be wondering how I cut a hole in the center of the flower to fit the cups. Easy! First, take a template of your 1-3/4" circle Punch #119850 and tape it on the center of each flower before adhering 2 flower folds together.
Cut through one corner between petals then cut-trace your circle. You have your hole.


Don't worry that your flower folds have opening cuts because they'd be covered with another piece of circle ring which you can make by using your 1-3/4" Circle punch #119850 then your 2-1/2" Circle punch #120906, in that order. You can emboss or stamp the ring before adhering them onto the outer center of the treat cups.


I added a 1/4" grosgrain ribbon as a handle and tied a tag with an elastic silver string #109866.

Round Easter Bunny Basket

OMG! The time just flew for me, I didn't realize I've not posted anything for a week now. My apologies, my friends. I have been trying to make these unique baskets for easter with little time spent to assemble it.

Well first of all, I'd make the bunny punch art first. Here's HOW TO MAKE the bunnies (make them without their feet).

These boxes were carefully created to make a round base basket where they can be easily stacked together for easy storage or quick transport. They are so cute with any treats in the boxes like Chocolate Kisses or Nuggets, or Jelly Beans, or any Easter treat. You can even fit your plastic eggs in them :) Anwyay, you'll love these baskets so much you will be able to use it in any season or any occassion.

There are no templates or dies used to make these basket/pail that's why it's so fast and inexpensive to make. A technique was used here that you've never seen before.

Easter Pals

Here, here, the gang's all here! I've just given tutorials how to make Chickee-Dee and Bunny Hop. I'm guessing everybody is casing them out. How about trying to make Bunny Hop White!
The only thing I did different with Bunny Hop was use Whisper White instead of Chocolate Chip Brown and put a vest on him. The vest was made with the Owl Punch #118074(vest piece). Isn't it soooo cute! The ric rac design on his vest was made using the Tasteful Trim BigShot die #120893. Also, his eyes are propped up and I put eyelids (which are optional) using the 1/2" circle punch and punched it like a half-moon crest.



Anyway, I hope you had fun making them. It will now be easier to decorate your Easter projects!!! In case you're missing the tutorials, here's Bunny Hop tutorial and here's Chickee-Dee Tutorial

Easter Pals: Chickee-Dee Punch Art

Hi! It's punch art time again and this time it's Chickee-Dee's turn for the tutorial. It's pretty easy to make this chick and I'm sure you'll make them in a jiffy.

You will need the following punch:
- Ornament Punch #119847(for the head)
- Boho Blossom Punch #119858 (for the feet and the feather tip on the head). Use only the medium flower shape.
- 2 Step Bird Punch #117191(for the outer eyes using the wing of the bird punch)
- 1-3/8" Circle Punch #119860(for the body)
- Owl Punch #118074(for the black iris)
- 1/2" Circle Punch #119869(for the Tempting Turquoise Eye)
- Scallop Circle #119854(for the wings)



TIP: Cut the Scallop Circle in 1/4 pieces. You'll need 2 for the wings. Cut a 1/2" square of Pumpkin Pie CS and fold it in a triangle to make your beak. You will need to adhere it close to the eyes so it has that smiling expression :) Don't forget to sponge your Daffodil Delight pieces with Pumpkin Pie Ink, sponge your Very vanilla eyes with Tempting Turquoise




Viola! You have a Chickee-Dee! To make an egg, you can use the 3/4" x 15/16" oval and glitter it up with Dazzling Diamond #102023.

To make a Chocolate Bunny punch art, here's a tutorial.

Easter Pals - Bunny Hop Punch Art

Hi! I've been creating these Easter Punch Arts in my mind for weeks now and I finally got it into paper! The hardest part was giving cute expressions on their faces. Today, I'll show you my chocolate bunny. Some say it looks like the bunny from the movie "HOP"...hihi. I will go along to show you the rest in the next few days. So be patient. It's worth waiting for the tutorial :)

Punch needed:
- Ornament Punch #119847(for the head)
- Large Oval punch #119855(for the ears)
- Small Oval Punch #119863(for the inner ear and the feet)
- 3/4" x 15/16" Oval Punch # (for the cheek and arms) also for an egg
- 2 Step Bird Punch #117191 (used the wings of the bird for the eyes)
- Owl Punch #118074( used the owl for the body, used the eyes for iris)
- Itty Bitty Punch Pack #118309(use the circle for the nose)

TIP: Sponge all Chocolate Chip CS with Whisper White Kraft Ink. Sponge the Very Vanilla bird wings with Tempting Turquoise Ink. Sponge the Very Vanilla cheek ovals, Pink Pirouette inner ears, and nose with Chocolate Chip Brown Ink.



As you can see, I cut off the owls ears and feet (sounds sadistic, but no pun intended, sorry owl). For the feet, just follow the way I cut a piece off. Cut the other piece in the opposite direction, you don't want to give your bunny 2 left feet..hihi.




TIP: When positioning the cheeks, put them on a slanting "V" position, like a smile.



Cut your Chocolate Chip Ovals in a "BEAN" shape to make arms. Don't forget the nose!


Highlight your bunny with black and white gel pens! Your punch art will look more dimensional. TIP: Use your 3/4"x 15/16" oval to make an egg for your bunny to hold. I'd use Dazzling Diamonds #102023 to glitter the eggs (again to make it more dimensional) :)

EGGS Inspiration

Ok Ok Ok... the above photo is NOT my creation... the one below IS!!



I had to try Martha Stewart's Easter projects and I'd like to share it with you. I think the only thing I didn't do, is use the correct supply. Before I realized this, it was too late. I found the best supply to make a stencil or punch image on these eggs, are Stampin Up's Decor Elements Sheets p.158 (IBC). These are vinyl sheets of transfer tape to punch with and stick onto your eggs. I only used a plain alphabet sticker for scrapbooking... ugh!

Here's a representation of it, I apologize for the imperfectness but I think you get the picture :) But hey, I took some pictures from Martha's magazine so you can really get the picture.

Here's a Step-by-Step:

STEP 1:
If you're using SU! Vinyl sheets, punch your favorite image like a 5 petal flower or your Boho Blossom Punch and peel off the tape and adhere it on the surface of your egg. NOTE: Try to level out the sticker so ink will not go into the creases like mine did... ugh!!!





STEP 2:
Spray the Egg with a Coloring Mist or deep onto your dye. As soon as the egg is dry, peel off your vinyl adhesive and finish off with the name like I did. NOTE: Martha used the traditional dyeing technique with food coloring, vinegar and hot water.




STEP 3:
You can make your own stand. The one you see in the picture is made of craft wire. It's a graceful piece of wirework display inspired by egg holders that were popular a century ago. I wrapped a 20-gauge wire around a pen, flatten the resulting coil to create a series of loops, and then twisted the ends together to form a ring.
