Storybook Friends Easter Box-VIDEO

Week 3 of my Spring and Easter Boxes Series.  This adorable Easter box is soooo cute!  I'm using the Storybook Friends Bundle, the greeting is from the set and I'm using one of the bunny dies for it.  I'm also using the Countryside Inn DSP.  This DSP has been around a while and I love it!  All the shades of blue coordinate so well together and I love the little pops bunnies and other critters.  This DSP does contain the retiring color Boho Blue so if you love this DSP grab it NOW before it hits the Last Chance list.  This box is long and skinny but oh so cute!  I have a fun surprise inside!  

I didn't use the coordinating stamp for my bunny image.  I really just wanted that silhouette image. I die cut my bunny from Night of Navy cardstock and he's sitting on Boho Blue embossed with the Cane Weave Folder and a Misty Moonlight mat.  If you have a different DSP you're using different DSP change up the colors and do a different ombre look.  I finished my belly band with some Naturals Linen Thread-in the Night of Navy color of course.  Finally I added some Ombre Dots.   

When you pull the belly band off and open the box you have an Iced Latte w/Foam drink mix.  These are pretty new from Maxwell House.  I did have my Mom try one (I'm not a coffee drinker) and it really did foam and she said it was pretty good.  Now this is a gift you'd want to give the older members of you Easter celebration, if you handing these out to kids small chocolate eggs, or jelly beans would fit really well.  The finished box is about 6 1/4" x 2" x 3/4". Pro-tip: I have a tiny tape measure that I keep in my purse so if I need to measure something for a box it's super handy.

Charming Duck Pond No Glue No Trim Self Closing Box-VIDEO

Welcome to week 2 of my Spring and Easter Boxes Series.  Today's box is my very favorite one, well ask me again next week LOL!  My favorite bundle in the Annual Catalog has to be the Charming Duck Pond Bundle.  I love everything about it.  I haven't pulled it out lately but when I saw the treat for today's box in the store I couldn't help myself!  There was a duck on the front and I immediately knew what bundle I would use, in fact I used the entire suite of products for this.  My treat for today is Mother's Frosted Cookies Spring Edition.  Soooo cute-and yummy!  Yes please!  My daughter loves these cookies and I've had to hid the box so she won't snatch them up.   

For my box I took my color inspiration from the Lily Pond Lane DSP.  I used Peach Pie for the box base and added some Peach Pie embellishments to coordinate, I used the Peach Pie Ribbon and the Dappled Dots.  This unique box requires no glue and no trimming, fold and go!  It's pretty amazing, I made another version of this box about 4 years ago here.  I love to recreate and reimage fun boxes I've already done.  

For my ducks, I die cut them with Peach Pie and Lemon Lolly Cardstock.  I added some shading with Peach Pie Stampin' Blends.  For the cattails I wanted to mimic the DSP so I die cut them in Basic White and used Stampin' Blends to color them.  I have all the Stampin' Blends colors used in my supply list linked below.  Make sure to check out the video too for all the details.  

I love the way the box tucks in and closes.  It's easy to open and once the cardstock knows how to fold it easy closes right back up.  This is a fun over the top box, I'm not sure I'd make a lot of these, but for a few select and special people I'd happily take the time to make these.  If you can't find the cookies other Easter treats will easily fit in here, the finished box is about 4 3/4" x 3" x 1".

Peekaboo Forest Window Card

One of the new bundles released this month in our Online Exclusive release was the completely adorable Peekaboo Forest Bundle.  This bundle went immediately into my shopping cart as soon as I saw it.  It's completely adorable and I can't get enough of it!  If you love it too, join me next week when I'll share four more incredible card featuring this bundle in my Forest Friends Class To Go.  Today's card is a fun window card, the bear peeks through the window on the front but you still see him inside.  It's sooo cute!  You could easily adapt this card to any of the critters in the bundle. 

Instead of coloring my bear I stamped him on Crumb Cake and Basic Beige Cardstock.  This is a great tip when you don't want to color.  I used a greeting from another new set this month, the Thankful Garden Set.  Get this one in a bundle though, you'll want the dies and masks that coordinate with it.  After I die cut my circle from the Balmy Blue piece I ran it through a new embossing folder.  The Mini Corrugated Folder is completely amazing and you'll see LOTS of it from me.  I love it!
