Easter Card and Treat Containers by Dori Mendiola

 Happy Thursday AI Friends!

Today I have a couple of fun Easter items for you.  I was having too much fun and got carried away which is so easy to do with all of the fun AI Easter stamps sets.

  Let's start with my Easter card using the #5401 - Easter Chicks set.  The images, sentiment and the little Easter accessories come with this set as well as the dies.  The interactive slider was created using the Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer die.  The pattern papers are from the #5892 - Easter S2 and the #6012 - Basic Yellow Paper packs.  

 For the other Easter project, I got carried away with the #5872 - Bunny GCH set and the #5742 - Easter Journal Paper Pack.  I decided to make treat containers and this was sooo much fun.  One I made as a box for treats and the other is a shaker, but I used small jelly beans to fill it.  It opens so the candy can be eaten.  However, you could use shaker bits and glue it shut.

For the treat box, I cut a 6" x 6" piece of heavy cardstock.  I scored it at 2" and 4" then turned 1/4 turn and scored again at 2" and 4".  On one side, cut the two score lines to the first fold.  On the opposite side, cut the two score lines to that first fold.  You should have three connected squares on the left of first cut score line and three on the right of the second cut score line.   Fold in the middle pieces and then fold in the sides and glue down each flap.  Your open box is ready.  I then cut a panel of pattern paper to cover the sides as well as a belly band using the #5804 - Decorative Belly Bands die.  For the back side of the bunny, I cut two extra paws for the back feet.  I used the eye die to cut the bottom of the paw and a hole punch for the toes of the paw and glued a solid pink paw to the bottom.  I also used a small white pom pom for the bunny tail.

For the second treat container, I used a round container from the Dollar Tree (or you can use condiment cups).  I cut the bunny face from a nested circle die vs. the square die included in the #5872 - Bunny GCH die set.  I also altered the headband to fit the circle face.  I adhered the top of the container to the back of the bunny face with strong adhesive.  I decorated the bottom of the container with the paws and tail prepared the same as above.  I filled the cup with the desired candies and sealed the lid to close.  The candy cup is complete and ready for your little one.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today.  Have a great day and keep creating!!

Some Bunny Loves you by Sharon Caudle

 Hello AI Fans! 

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and were able to get a little crafting in! I've got a fun project to show you today and believe it or not, I didn't use a single Copic marker!! LOL! That's highly unusual for me! I created a cute little pocket frame all decorated up for Easter. I started by using #5902 Mini Scalloped Frame Dies in pink cardstock and glued it together. I then grabbed #5872 Bunny Gift Card Holder Set and decorated the front using papers from 5742 Easter Journal PP, only instead of having her hold the egg die that comes in the set, I decided I wanted her to be holding a heart. So I used 5721 Nested Heart Dies. I created a tag to slide into the top by just cutting one myself. I used 5867 Mini Easter Sentiment Set on the tag. How cute would this be to tuck inside an Easter Basket for your loved ones? 

That's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time - stay crafty!

Beautiful Bonnie Bunny Place Card by Reneé Matarese

 Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday!

Today I'm sharing a pair of Easter Place Cards that I made using the new 5872 – Bunny GCH Set.

This set is meant to be a gift card holder add on in conjunction with the 5344 – Envelope GCH Set 
but I also instantly saw adorable place cards for Easter!

Bonnie and Phil's names are written on the little headband 

from the set that I just turned upside down.

Phil's "Page Boy" hat is just one of the inner ear dies turned on its side with
the eye die used for a button.

I used the star and the easel die from the the 5318 – MB Envelope Dies. The star is on the front, and the easel die is used to prop up the place card.
