Easter Bunny Cricut Lolly Pops and Chocolate Covers

HAPPY EASTER

Easter Bunny Cricut Lolly Pops and Chocolate Covers

Its been ages since I have done a blog post that wasn't related to the Colour Dare Challenge, but I created these Easter Bunnies and chocolate bar packages on my Cricut Design Space (and cut, score and drawn on my Cricut Maker) for Easter Gifts for my family and wanted to share here. 

The Easter Bunny Lolly Pop holders were designed by me using the Cricut® Daisy Meadows Collection on Cricut Design space. Anyone who purchases this collection for me can get this template for FREE, I will include the cricut design for the chocolate box too. Send me a message and I'll send you the Design Space link. 

I also created these chocolate bar holders for Chocolate bars that fit 180g chocolate bars. I was inspired by Laura Beacham's Easter Bunny chocolate cover. I used retired cardstock and my 14yr old daughter helped me choose and we had the Cricut draw the family members initials on their chocolate bars (couples had to share a block). Then I put a belly band around them with Daisy Meadows Bulk Paper Packet which is still available = I used a 1.5 inch x 10 inch strip of Daisy meadows bulk paper. I used the red CTMH Adhesive Tape to adhere the bottom and side of the chocolate box and then I left the top flap of the boxes without adhesive so they could easily access the box and hide things inside it - no one needs know how much chocolate is hiding inside.

Easter Bunny S1702 CTMH Australasian Blog Hop

Welcome to our Australasian Blog Hop. We have all been creating with the "Easter Bunny—February Stamp of the Month" Stamp set. If you have arrived here from Wendy Hopper ...Expressions of the heart then you are in the right place. If you landed here another way, please join in by following the link at the end of this post. Follow the links, check out all the amazing ideas and eventually you'll come right back here to where you started. 

Today I would like to share with you my project which features the Easter Bunny—February Stamp of the Month available exclusively throughout February 2017 for $27 or for just $7.50 when you spend $75. 

This is the CUTEST little stamps set so I KNOW all the 10 consultants in this blog hop will have an amazing selection of ideas for us. Make sure you check everyone out and come right back to here. 

I started by stamping the littlest bunny with Black Memento™ Ink 

The one on the right is straight black and the one on the left is second generation inked for that lighter grey colour. I like using Memento because you can colour with markers or use watercolour paints without the black ink running. 

I made the cards with Workshops Your Way® Hello Lovely Scrapbooking Kit. 

The first two cards in my series are slight modifications from instructions consultants were given at our Sneak Peak events last year. Contact your consultant if you'd like the instructions. The are very simple. 

1 patterned piece 5.5 x 4.25 inches

1 piece 1.5 inches wide to place on the bottom (I split mine into 2 x 0.75 inch parts and on the second card I used the zip strips which are 0.5 inches wide)

2.5 x 4.25 inches of White Daisy Cardstock

I drew around the Somebunny Wishes You banner with Marvy® Uchida® LePen™ Journaling Pen. Then coloured in flowers and bunny with my ShinHan Markers. ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Pastel Green Marker to match the green in the paper as closely as I could. Don't look at my colouring in too closely - It was late the night I made these so I could probably do a lot better with more sleep :)

I had lots of scraps from a card I'd made with zip strips and half inch strips like a patchwork quilt (see other blog post on Hello Lovely). So the next card I made was the card below with the half inch strips on a white small section of card (the bit under the bunny). 

With the scraps I had from the Workshops Your Way® Hello Lovely Scrapbooking Kit 

the other card I added the strips to the corner as well and added Gold Foil Tape

along the edge (the photo looks silver but is actually gold). 

I stamped the bunny and flowers and title in Fern Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad

and used a grey pencil to colour in the top of the bunny. 

Remember this great stamp set Easter Bunny—February Stamp of the Month is only available throughout February from my website or from your Close to My Heart Consultant. Also the Workshops Your Way® Hello Lovely Scrapbooking Kit 

is only available until the end of the current Seasonal Expressions Catalogue so is only available until the end of April.

I decided to use a selection of stamp sets for my blog this hop because there are so many stamp sets available and this is a really great offer. 

I started with Watercolor Paints and painted up some paper with my Paintbrush Set. 

This is my first page by 12" X 12" White Daisy Cardstock (I should have used Watercolor Paper  but I forgot and it worked out okay). 

Then I used some off cuts of 12" X 12" Colonial White Cardstock

Then I used one of the bunnies from the Spring Critters that I cut out using the Spring Critters Thin Cuts on my Big Shot Embossing Machine using 12" X 12" White Daisy Cardstock with Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and used my Watercolor Paints and Paintbrush Set to paint him. So cute, using the smallest paintbrush to colour him in. 

Then I decided to paint some free-hand Carrots in a "bunch" to create a Thank You card with a difference. 

I matted the green background I had watercoloured and my carrots with 12" X 12" Slate Cardstock and used 3-D Foam Tape to adhere the bunny in a 3D way. I finished it off with Coral Shimmer Trim.

 

Next, after my 12" X 12" White Daisy Cardstock page that I had painted with the green edging had dried. I stamped with Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and stamped Delightful Ditty musical stamps all over the edge.

I stamped with Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad over the top of the water colour painting. I LOVE this stamp set. So versatile for a musical family like ours. 

My son is off to his first band camp in a few weeks. So now I have a page all ready. I put the title with the stamp set Handwritten Print and the LOVES it. 

To finish off my last watercolour painting scraps I used the Always Grateful 

stamp set. 

I matted the 12" X 12" Colonial White Cardstock scraps I had painted in purple with 12" X 12" Black Cardstock and stamped on the tree and Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. 

Simple and Elegant and I love it.
