Easter Creations

I made several different boxes over Easter, and used several of the new products in the Stampin' Up! Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue, including window sheets, the Scallop Envelope Die and Rich Razzleberry paper and ink.

This box was made using the box by Angie at Chic n Scratch.  I love this box as it's very simple to make and looks cute!  I used Pink Pirouette DSP and used the curly label punch to create the hole at the front of the box. I then adhered some medium thickness window sheet on the back of the cut out, which leaves a lovely see-through window!

I also made another bunny box, and it, along with the one I've posted about previously, were given to a couple of young relatives.  I was able to fit a surprising amount of easter eggs and other chocolates in there!

This box was made using the Scallop Envelop Die from the new Mini Catalogue.  I used Rich Razzleberry card stock and ink and the easter greeting is from Loads of Love Accessories stamp set.  I cut out 4 scallop envelopes and stuck them together with sticky strip to create this box!  Once again I used the curly label punch.

The other box I created was to hold an Easter present for a very tiny new relative. She's a bit too young for chocolate, considering she's only about 6 weeks old, so we bought her a little outfit and I made a box to put it in.  I used Pink Pirouette DSP and cardstock, Regal Rose ribbon, circle and scallop circle punches, and Regal Rose ink for the turtle from Fox & Friends.

You can find a tutorial for the box here. It's called an A2 card box.

And that's what I've been up to lately!   As well as job hunting, which is going fairly well, after a slow start to the week.  Fingers crossed I get a job next week so I can buy more awesome products from the new Autumn-Winter Stampin' Up! Catalogue!

If you're interested in learning how to make any of the above boxes or would like a copy of the new catalogue, feel free to email me at l_prothero@yahoo.com

Easter Bunny!

I know Easter's a few weeks away but I saw a card on Splitcoast Stampers made by SleepyinSeattle using Sweet Treat Cups that inspired me. You can see the card here.

I decided to make the box made by Angie, which she also used for her Easter Bunny box. She has a great video tutorial for the box on her blog, which I found helpful.

The green DSP is actually from a retired DSP line called Spring Break. The orange DSP on the handle is from Haiku, which you can find in the current Stampin' Up! catalgoue.

The bunny is made using the 1 3/8" circle punch for his face, the large oval for his feet and ears, pumpkin pie grosrain ribbon for his bow and the pink on his face, ears and feet is done using Stampin' Pastels. This is just a first try at the Bunny Box so hopefully after a few attempts, he will look even cuter!!

Just a quick reminder that the current Summer Mini Catalogue ends on March 31, so if there's anything in the catalogue you want to purchase, contact me at l_prothero@yahoo.com . I've seen the upcoming Autumn/Winter Mini and I can tell you, it's fabulous!! it will include the BIG SHOT!! And exclusive Stampin' Up! dies, plus a new style of punch, which will save space and clear mount stamps, which are cheaper and will also save some space. More info on that soon!! I'll hopefully have my hands on a few products I pre-ordered tomorrow!! Very exciting!!!
