Big Bunny Baskets

Hi! I just finished making these sparkly bunny baskets for my two granddaughters. I used the adorable Big Bunny Basket file from My Scrap Chick for my baskets and used glitter cardstock to make them shimmer like diamonds.

Materials 

Pastel Glam Glitter Polka Stack  from The Paper Studio

bright pink and white glitter cardstock from Recollections

scrap of glossy black cardstock (source unknown)

patterned cardstock scraps for bows from DCWV

tacky glue

Zig 2 Way Glue pen

foam squares

2 white brads per basket

Make sure to watch the My Scrap Chick video tutorial for the Big Bunny Basket before starting your basket, and have fun. These basket are good sized so you can fit lots of goodies in them. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter!

Girl Bunny Box

Hi, Easter will be here before we know it, so I have been busy making this cute little girl bunny box. 

I used Bunny Hat Box from My Scrap Chick  for my box.  I left off the bird and made my bunny from Fun Foam.

MATERIALS

 Bunny Hat Box file from My Scrap Chick

White poster board

9 by 11 inch white Fun Foam

Pink Cardstock by Coredinations

Bunny printed Cardstock by DCWV

Pink glitter cardstock by Coredinations

Black and white cardstock scraps

Pink Mulberry Paper Flowers by Prima

Small pink flower gem by Jots

1 1/2 inch wide sheer pink ribbon

5/8 inch wide gathered white lace trim

Xyron, glue, glue runner

Light blue and pink ink pads

0.4 black Cricut marker

White Gelly Roll pen

I made the box slightly larger than it imports, using white poster board for the body.  I used a combination of glue and glue runner and paper clips to hold it together while it dried. I cut the face panels, muzzle and ears from Fun Foam, inked the edges, and ran them through a Xyron before attaching them. The eyes were accented with the black Cricut marker and the white Gelly Roll pen.

The outer ears were attached to the pink ears pieces.

The ear pieces were attached to the hat base one at a time. 

I lined the ears up so they matched and attached them together. ( I used clips to hold the ears together, but the clips left marks, so I would use a different method next time.)

I attached the hat brim, then using glue runner and glue I added the gathered lace around the outside edge.

I added the printed panels that were inked along the edges with pink. I folded the pink ribbon in half, wrapped it around the hat as a hat band, then tied it into a bow. I added a double layered flower with a pink flower gem in the center, just above knot of the bow.

Isn't this Bunny Box the cutest thing? I love how it turned out! 

Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear what you think.

Mad Hatter Bunny Hat

One of my favorite files from My Scrap Chick is  the Uncle Sam Hat Box. I love figuring out new ways to use this versatile file. This time I used it to make a Mad Hatter Bunny Box.

MATERIALS

Uncle Sam Hat Box
Bunny Top Hat Box (for the ears)
Jam Jar and Candle Gift Wrap (for the bow)
 Pixey Stix Glitter Pack by the Paper Studio
Grey felt from The Summer Sky Set by Cricut
Raspberry Confetti Peel & Stick Foam Sheet by Foamies
Paper Flowers by Jots
Butterfly Paper Accents by K & Company
Blue Diamond Wrap by Floral Garden
Small white silk flower
1/4 inch wide green ribbon

I made the hat following the PDF instructions. See how I put the hat together here: https://scrappysamdesigns.blogspot.com/2017/12/frostys-top-hat.html  I cut each of the long strips in half diagonally and alternated gluing them to the top and bottom of each section of the hat starting with the bottom section of a notched section. (See picture below.)

I made 6 inch ears using the Bunny Top Hat Box file. The larger piece was cut from grey Cricut felt and the inner ear was cut from the raspberry confetti foam.  I cut one inch off the bottom then glued the ears to the front of the hat. I cut a 1 inch by 9 inch strip of the blue dot cardstock and wrapped it around the base of the hat gluing it together in the front. I then made a 4 inch bow from the blue dotted cardstock and the bow from Jam Jar and Candle Gift Wrap, and wrapped the center with the blue Diamond Wrap. The finished bow was attached in front of the ears with foam tape and a little white silk flower was attached below the bow.

I made a bow from the ribbon and added the bow and a blue flower to the back with foam tape. A butterfly accent was added to the top of the inner box.

The inner box lifts out. This will make a cute Easter basket for one of my granddaughters.

I love how this little Mad Hatter Bunny Box turned out! What can you make with the Uncle Sam Hat Box?

Bunnies in the Carrot Patch

Bunnies got into the Carrot Patch!

This cute little centerpiece would be perfect for any Spring/Summer event. I used the Carrot Patch Box for most of my project, and the tired bunny from Chubby Bunnies for face, ears and paws of the bunnies.

MATERIALS

 Carrot Patch Box

  Chubby Bunnies 

Pink dotted cardstock from "Watercolor Ombre" by DCWV

Antique tan cardstock from Basic Grey

Colored cardstock by Recollections

Orange dot cardstock from my stash

Orange 1/4 inch ribbon

Wood Grain embossing folder from Cuddlebug

Small white pom poms

Adhesive, foam tape

Small amount of self stick Velcro

Exacto knife

I used the carrot pattern to make the bunny bodies from the pink dotted cardstock. The facial features, ears and paws are from the tired bunny from the Chubby Bunnies file. I placed the ears up instead of down, and also made the eyes larger. The muzzle was attached with foam tape to add some dimension.

A 1/4 inch piece of self stick Velcro was used as a closure behind the ears.

The little carrots were made at 2 1/2 inches using the carrot pattern. Each bunny got a carrot, one was put outside the fence, and two were put between the bunnies inside the fence. I used an exacto knife to make a small X for each carrot inside the fence.

I used small pom poms to give the bunnies little tails. ( A larger pom pom would probably have worked better, but I used what I had.)

The fence was made using the Basic Grey cardstock. The pickets were embossed using the Wood Grain Cuddlebug folder. I used my Cricut Explore to write the message on the sign.

I hope you liked my Bunnies in the Carrot Patch. I had so much fun making it.  If you liked it I'd love to hear from you! 

HAPPY EASTER

Paper Egg Candy Holder

Hi! I've been having so much fun making Easter projects using the great files from My Scrap Chick! Today I am sharing two umbrella style candy holders I made using Paper Egg from My Scrap Chick.

MSC Files Used

 Paper Egg 

Rosettes Scallop Edge

Daisy Garden

September Flower Borders

Materials List

Pearlescent Cardstock: Watercolor Ombre from DCWV

Cardstock: Recollections

Diamond Wrap by Floral Garden

White paper flower

11 inch- 5/ 16 diameter dowel

Purple/white  twine

Gathered 1/2 inch white lace

2 inch ungathered white lace

Tape runner, glue, glue dots, double stick tape

For the 12 inch umbrella candy holder, keep the pieces grouped together and size it so the largest piece is 11.5 inches. I put the pieces together with a combination of tape runner and glue, then paper clipped the seams while they dried.

When the pieces are dry add the lace and Diamond Wrap as shown using a combination of tape runner, glue and glue dots.

Take your dowel rod and wrap it with double stick tape, then the ribbon.

 Use hot glue to attach the dowel to the inside of the egg halves.

    Hold the dowel vertical while the glue sets.

Use the Rosette pattern to make the base and the Daisy Garden Flowers to decorate the egg. Add other accents as shown.

                 

The smaller version is 8 inches tall. The largest piece was sized at 9 inches.
