Bunny and Chick Favor Boxes by Aimee

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here with you today to show you these adorable little animal favor boxes.  Lori has 9 new animal favor boxes in the store and I couldn’t resist making a couple of them. With Easter coming up I chose the Chick (Silhouette, SVG) and Bunny (Silhouette, SVG) ones. I used Lori’s new Easter Wishes papers for these little cuties!

For both of the boxes, I wanted a patterned paper on the front but didn’t want the b-side of the paper to show through on the inside back piece of the box so I cut the boxes out of cardstock and assembled the box. Then while I was in Silhouette Designer Edition, I used the cut tool to slice off all of the box except the front panel. The I cut the front panel from patterned paper and then adhered all of my pieces and decorated it and then proceeded to adhere it to the front of my box.

Since the chick favor box already had a bow, I thought I would complete her girly looks by drawing in some eyelashes with a thin grey marker.

For my bunny box, I didn’t do much to him. I added some shimmer pen to the inside of his ears and all over his nose.

That’s all from me today! I hope you love these sweet little animal favor boxes as much as I do and will give it a try! There 9 of these little guys so there are so many choices as to what kind of animal you want for your project!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Easter Treat Wraps by Brigit

Hi there, with Easter right around the corner I thought I’d make some of these adorable treat wraps for a quick and easy project. I had a couple of slim bags that I filled with some jelly beans, but these wraps can be used with any kind of treat.

The labels were print and cuts matted to a scalloped rectangle. The paper used, Echo Park’s Easter Wishes designed by Lori matches the cute little labels. You can get these wraps as a bundle at Lori’s shop here or individually. Here’s the three I used, Wrap Easter Egg, (svg, silhouette), Wrap Easter Chick, (svg, silhouette) and Wrap Easter Bunny, (svg, silhouette).

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Easter Lip Balm Buddies with Anita

Hi Everyone:

We are traveling to see family in Wisconsin and I made these lip balm holders for a two special young ladies we will be visiting!  They are so cute and very easy to put together.  The lamb is called EOS Lip Balm Lamb and you can find it here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Store.  You can find the SVG file for the Bunny here in Lori’s store and here in the Silhouette Store.   I used some of Lori’s new Echo Park collection called Easter Wishes.  I also used some of her older Echo Park collection, specifically Wish Upon a Star.

Lori has so many wonderful Easter and spring SVG files so be sure to check them all out.

Hugs,

Anita

Easter Treat Favor Box by Aimee

Hello friends! Aimee here with you today with a tutorial on using Lori’s new sketch images to create this sweet little Easter gift bag. I choose a couple of adorable images from the Sketch Easter Bundle that you can find in Lori’s Shop here or in the Silhouette Design Store (rabbit, flower). I also used this new Favor Box that can be found in Lori’s store here or in the Silhouette Design Store here.

Open the images and add an offset image around each image. I resized the offset to 0.050. After you have the offset image, highlight both images and group them together so they are easily moved around. The black lines are the sketch lines and the red lines are the cut lines.

Once I had both images with an offset cut grouped, I measured them against the box svg to make sure  they were appropriately sized.

For those of you who are new to using Silhouette sketch pens, here is a Silhouette tutorial for using them. A big HINT when using the sketch pens and then cutting them out is NOT removing your cutting mat after the image is drawn. Leave the mat in place and then switch over to the blade and let your machine cut the image out from your paper.

Here are my images after the sketching and cutting are complete. Now comes the fun part of decorating them. I used Lori’s new collections Easter Wishes and Spring Fling  on this project because the colors and patterns are so fun and vibrant

I fussy cut one of the eggs out of pattern paper and added it to the rabbit so that it looks like he’s holding it. I also added some pink to the back of his ears. For the flower, I trimmed the flower and adhered it to the top of the green flower sketch cut and added a matching button and baker’s twine.

For the finishing touches I added a pink striped bow and the Happy Easter sentiment from the Light Up Card Easter Bunny that can be found in Lori’s store here or in the Silhouette Design Store here.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you give the new sketch images a try and create your own little box for Easter or Wedding!
