Easter Basket Boxes

February 16, 2026February 17, 2026Leave a comment

Hello there! Today I am moving on from Valentine’s Day and on to Easter. I am looking forward to bunnies and chicks!

For my projects today I played with the new Lori Whitlock Easter Basket Collection!

I cut several of Lori’s boxes and added all the fun Easter Basket elements. I spent an evening with my little Sidekick die cutter and die cut my self silly. When I am doing this, I put on a good movie and cut a bunch of pieces out of the different colors and just sort of mix and match away-always sure to have extra pieces because I tend to lose tiny pieces! I had fun adding the sticker elements to the finished boxes as a little extra special touch. Everything was just so fun!

I die cut 3 baskets and lots of fun little eggs and flowers/leaves in all the different colors included in the new collection. I did cut out some grass from this file to use at the base of the boxes. I removed the scoring lines from the grass piece to cut one long strip and trimmed pieces to fit each box at the base. As for the boxes themselves, I like to add a little extra matting to allow the patterned paper to pop a bit more. To do that, I open the offset panel and chose offset, distance of .050 and the square corner. In these projects I used white for the extra matting pieces.

***This tip will help you with these tiny dies. I used washi tape to adhere the tiny dies on to my paper. I poked out the cut pieces but left the dies taped on to the paper. You can just put these on top of your next paper each time. Just keep the dies in place with the washi tape and store them that way as well. You won’t lose those tiny eyes or rosy cheeks that way!

3D Easter Egg Tutorial

April 17, 2025April 17, 2025

Hello crafty friends. Noelene here today, I want to share with you how I made these cute fun 3D Easter Eggs, using the following Lori Whitlock Files: 3D Easter Egg 2 (Silhouette, SVG), 3D Easter Egg 3 (Silhouette, SVG), 3D Easter Egg 4 (Silhouette, SVG), 3D Easter Egg 5 (Silhouette, SVG) & 3D Easter Egg 6 (Silhouette, SVG).

For my tutorial I am using 3D Easter Egg 4 (Silhouette, SVG).

I started out by opening my file in Silhouette & using the transform tool to enlarge all my panels to 135%. This gave me an egg with the dimensions approx 3.5″ wide x 5″ high.

Then I proceeded to cut the panels using coloured cardstock for the coloured panels & vellum for the grey panels.

I finely glued the vellum onto the back of eacg tulip patterned panel being careful not to put too much. Now let them dry.

Next I took the 3 egg shaped panels & insterted them into each other starting with the one with the 2 slits on top & bottom (far right on above image). Then I insterted the one with the slits on the outer edge (middle on above image) then lastly inserting the one with the slits on the inner edge, (far left on above image).

Then I inserted the big round shape onto the bottom slits.

Doing the same with the smaller round shape on top.

Lastly take the tulip panels & insert the wider part into the bottom of the egg shape & the narrower part into the top part of the egg.

Now do the same with the remainder of the panels & you are done. If you wish you can add some light using led tealight candles for a lantern effect.

I will be using mine in my Easter table setting.

If you want to make the lot like I plan to do, (because why not! They’re quick & simple to make! You can purchase these files individually or as a bundle here!

12×12 Easter Bunny Page

April 14, 2025April 17, 2025

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I have a cute 12×12 Easter scrapbook page to share with you. I made it using two of Lori’s pretty cutting files and lots of colorful papers. Since Easter is this Sunday, I thought a fun layout would be perfect for a few holiday photos of coloring eggs. Take a look …

12x12 Easter Bunny Scrapbook Page with pretty flowers, carrots, and colorful eggs

This sweet bunny rabbit is the star of this page! I just 🩷 her little flower crown. So, let’s start with her …

I used Lori’s adorable 5×7 Easter Bunny Card 4 file (SVG, Silhouette) and a colorful mix of solid card stock. I assembled the pieces, then added
some enamel dots to the flowers for sparkle.

She’s so cute … she deserved a close-up!

Next, I chose another one of Lori’s cutting files called 4 Spring Borders (SVG, Silhouette) to make this pretty scalloped piece. Now … time to build the page!

12x12 Easter Bunny Scrapbook Page with pretty flowers, a scalloped journaling spot, and colorful stripes

To begin, I chose a rainbow stripe pattern paper from the Doodlebug Design Bunny Hop
Collection as the base. Then, I added bubblegum card stock at the top and the scalloped border in the middle.

In the top corner, I adhered the “coloring”, “eggs”, and flower die cuts from the Bunny Hop Collection along with some pretty enamel sprinkles. And for the journaling spot, I used 3 punches to make this … a 3″ scallop circle, a 2.5″ circle, and a 2.25″ circle then layered them all.

Next, were the photo mats. I cut 2 out of limeade paper and added more die cuts, dots, and the “Happy” tab.

As a finishing touch, I gave the bunny 3 colorful egg die cuts to hold on to, and … she’s ready for Easter! Yep … she and her carrots are pretty cute. 🥕🐰🥕

I hope this layout gives you a little holiday inspiration. I had so much fun using the 5×7 Easter Bunny Card 4 and the 4 Spring Borders cutting files. Highly recommend! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Easter Projects Tutorial

April 10, 2025April 17, 2025

Hello there!

My tutorial is very easy today but I wanted to show you the cute little candy baskets, bags and boxes I have been making for Easter. You still have plenty of time to make some of these fast and easy projects!

Basic directions on these projects is to cut your pieces and fold on the scored lines. Glue any little pieces to form faces etc and glue the project up joining at the flaps. These cut files are simple so you can make all of these, or pick one and make multiples. They are perfect to hold a bit of candy. The chick bag and the white Easter bunny basket with it’s fun little hair bow are also a good size to hold a gift card.

*****

Treat Bag Easter Chick (SVG, Silhouette)

The chick on this bag is adorable. Lori also made a bunny bag too . With so few pieces this is a quick one to finish. Glue the black piece behind the chick head and add the rosy cheeks and the beak. I added some shading with distress inks before I put the pieces on. This bag would easily hold a nice size candy bar and is the largest of all the projects. Stands 5.5 inches tall.

*****

Easter Basket with Carrots (SVG, Silhouette)

Fold this one up, add glue to all side tabs and fold up to form the box. Burnish the glued tabs a bit so that they all stick well. Add your little carrot design on the front and tie up the top.

*****

Easter Bunny Petal Basket (SVG)

I made this guy with kraft paper. I creased all the score lines and glued the black piece on the inside where the face cut out is. I added the nose with dimensionals before closing the box by bringing up the two top loops and then slip the sides with the slits over the top. I glued on the ears about a quarter of an inch from each edge.

*****

3D Easter Carrot Box (SVG, Silhouette)

Glue on the “greenery”(love the fun scallops) and then fold the carrot in half along the center score line and glue together with the side tab. All that’s left is to tie the top with some twine or ribbon. This project is just over 8 inches long including the carrot top greens.

*****

Easter Bunny Tote (SVG, Silhouette)

For this file- glue the black piece on the back of the piece with the face so the eyes and whiskers show through.

Glue the other white piece with the ears to the back of the face section so it covers the black piece for a finished look. Glue the sections together then fold in half and glue together with the tab. Glue the bottom flaps One thing about Lori’s files- when you fold a file in half (like boxes ,bags, 3D cards) the two sections match perfectly. I love this-no struggle to force a file to fit together. Glue the bottom flaps.

I added the handle on with two brads but you could easily just glue them on.
