Easter Bunny Tote with Brandie

Hi there crafty friend! Brandie here with a cute and easy Easter bunny basket idea. If you are like me and want to give something small for Easter than this tote is perfect!

The Easter bunny tote file can be found here in Lori Whitlock’s shop and here in the Silhouette store. This little tote is cute as is but I wanted to use  the new Easter bunny faces files. They have so much personality!

I  removed the face on the tote and did a print and cut with the boy and girl bunny face files on the support piece that is included in the tote file. You can find the girl bunny here and the boy bunny here in Loris shop and here and here in the Silhouette store.

All of the pattern papers are from the 6×6 paper pads of Echo Park’s Sweet Baby Girl and Sweet Baby Boy collections

I hope you all have a Happy Easter. Thanks for stopping by!

Mini Wreath Place Setting Tutorial with Michelle

With family so far away, our Easter Dinner is a quiet gathering where we use our everyday plates. This year, I (Michelle) decided to make dinner fun with some Mini Paper Wreaths.

Making the mini wreaths was fairly easy with my Silhouette Cameo, but I have a couple hints and tricks to make it really easy! I started with Lori’s Circle Monogram Frame (Silhouette Design Store or Lori Whitlock SVG Shop) to make the wreath. This is possibly my favorite SVG file. The wreath is actually 6 seperate pieces. Since I am making a small wreath, I’m going to release the compound path and make all of the leaves filled in, which is easier for me to cut.

Release Compound Path

I’m also going to cut a 5-inch circle to fit my plate. (Hint: When making a circle hold down the shift key and your circle will be perfect each time.) I recommend cutting three or four monogram wreaths to make your mini wreath nice and full.

Next, I cut some BRAND NEW Bunnies. This Easter Bunny Silhouette is absolutely darling! I love his little tail cut-out. He’s new in the shops and you can find him in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Design Store. I cut two 4-inches bunnies and glued them back to back, but one would’ve been enough. I wanted to add a cute sentiment, and I found exactly what I was looking for in the Bunny Dingbats Font. You can find this in the Silhouette Design Store and the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. You will find additional bunny silhouettes in the font. They would be cute too. With the bunnies so small, I had trouble getting the sentiment cut cleanly with paper, so I used vinyl instead. It came out perfect the first time!

Yes! Paper crafters can use vinyl too! I love how it came out.

I topped off my wreath with a cute paper bow found in the Silhouette Design Store or at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and my project was finished. This would be a great project to try new techniques such as releasing the compound path and using vinyl. if you would like even more information, I would encourage you to check out Lori’s class on Craftsy. With the class, Lori explains numerous techniques for getting the most out of your Silhouette Cameo.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed my Mini Wreath Tutorial. Happy Easter!

Bunny Window Treat Boxes with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  I can’t believe Easter is in 2 weeks!  Since it’s so early this year,  I had to get my act together much more quickly to make these fun little treat boxes for my college sophomore and her dorm-mates!

I used Lori’s Easter Window Box Bunny (SVG File, Silhouette File) and added a fun little pop-pom tail to the window!  (The pom-poms were made with baker’s  twine and a pom-pom maker).

I filled them with some chocolate eggs and sent them off to the girls!  Head over to Lori’s shop for a great variety of Easter files!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
