Easter Basket and Carrots by Corri

Corri is here today sharing an adorable Easter project with us, she says…

Lori Whitlock just added this adorable carrot box to the Silhouette Store. I just love it and couldn’t wait to cut it.

I cut the carrots as sized in the file.   I embossed the green tops with the Cuttlebug D’Vine Swirls embossing folder. I cut this adorable 3d Easter Basket at 10″ wide so I could fit the carrots inside.  I probably should have gone a little larger .  This basket it so cute…it just takes to brads to hold it together.

The paper on my project today is all from Echo Park – All about a Boy.

 

 

Easter Chicks by Corri

Hi everyone!  I  have a cute and quick Easter project to show you today using files from Lori Whitlock.

I made two of Lori’s Bunny Tote baskets.  These little baskets are so adorable and go together very quickly.  I added some googly eyes and inking to the ears and noses.  I also made a super simple card using the Happy Easter title.  I just added a bow and some gems to finish off my cute card.

Ok, I will admit it.  I have a weakness for chocolate. So I’m so glad that most holidays feature sweets as part of the celebration.  Easter, of course, is no exception.  In fact, it’s the best holiday for chocolate and sweets in my book.  So when I saw that big chocolate bunny created by Lori, I just knew he would be the perfect thing to put into my woven Easter basket.

First, I cut out the basket.  I used some woodgrain paper from     Lori Whitlock’s paper for Echo Park.  The basket went together very easily but I would suggest cutting out two handles so that you can have both sides of the handle look the same and so that it is a bit sturdier.  Lori has a video on her YouTube channel that shows you the exact steps to putting this basket together.
Next, I added this cute little bow as decoration.  Wow, what fun these little bows are to put together.  I am definitely going to do more of these in my future projects.
Here is my little chocolate bunny.  I thought it would be fun to cut out his bow a couple more times and attach the extra pieces with foam adhesive.  I love the dramatic look.  I also cut out a mirror image of him and the bows sothat you could see him from both sides.
I think that this is going to be a cute little table decoration for my foyer table.

Card and Chick by Christine

Today we have Christine showcasing her talents with us…
I love making Easter projects and as soon as I saw the Chick Candy Dispenser, I knew that I just had to cut it out.
I followed Lori’s instructions here on her YouTube Channel to put it together and then added a few of my own embellishments.  Don’t you just love googly eyes?  I think that they add so much personality to my little chick.
The front of the box opens up to reveal your treat of choice.  I had just picked up these yummy Hershey’s Kisses in Easter colors. The front will close and then you carry the box around by the handle at the top.
I added the feathers on the back of the box.  I had to use some really good glue to get them to stick but once they were dry everything was fine. I used orange glitter paper on the beak and the feet.  Sometimes, those little details can really make a project pop!
You can’t have a treat box without a card, can you?  So I looked through Lori’s card files and found this one which I think is perfect.  It gave me a way to incorporate the cardstock that I used on the chick into the card so everything is matching!!  I love how simple it is too.

And since it was so easy to cut out this card, I decided to make a matching envelope.  Again, I used the same yellow cardstock to cut it out.   What fun to have a bright yellow envelope.  I used the fancy envelope.  I love the beautiful flap.  Because I wanted to dress it up even more, I cut out a mat for my flap.  If you want to learn how I did that, please stop by my blog and I will show you how.  It’s really easy!
