Easter Crafting

Before I had grandchildren, I don’t think I did much Easter crafting, but now it’s lots of fun. Two of these cute bunny boxes work for the current Card Concept Challenge, “Naturally Pink,” so I thought I’d post them a couple days early. All three of them are too young to be visiting my blog, so no surprise will be ruined.

When I saw the cute projects done by the design team at Papertrey Ink for this set, “Bunny Basket,” released in February, I couldn’t resist. I die cut the bunny from felt, used some Black Enamel Accents for the eyes, a Copic marker for some pink cheeks, and pom-poms from Michaels for the tails.

The sentiment is also from “Bunny Basket” stamped on a “Double-ended Banner” die. The patterned paper for the Easter eggs came from the Simon Says March kit from Carta Bella (“Spring.) The “grass” was cut with Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors from Simply Chartreuse paper. Everything was layered on a Spring Rain circle cut with Simon Says “Stitched Circles.” It all got put on a pillow box made with the Papertrey Ink die from Lovely Lady (a great new pink paper) and tied with ribbons from my stash. Inside I put some chocolate eggs and some cash. Two of the grandchildren are definitely old enough to appreciate a little spending money.

Two pink boxes for the little girls, and a yellow one from another new Papertrey color, “Bright Buttercup,” for Caleb. 

Not very springlike here today. There’s a strong wind blowing, and snow flurries are in the forecast. Later this week, temperatures in the 60’s are forecast. Typical western New York spring weather.
