Easter Bunny Egg Box and Card

You will need to right click on the template and save to your computer. You can then print the template out onto cardstock. It should be A4 size when printing.



Cut Egg box out of cardstock. And score along the dotted lines.
Prepare and attach your bunny before folding.
Cut bunny shapes out. For the little pads, eyes and nose I used a normal hole punch. Assemble your feet and ears. Add your ears to your box. Followed by the body, feet and then add your eyes and nose. I used some string for whiskers and added the nose on a glue dot, to give it a bit of dimension. (See picture below)

Fold along all score lines
Add some double sided tape as shown and fold your box up and stick together.

Add further decoration.

For the Card I used the same idea and Bunny Pattern. I cut an egg shape card with a flat bottom.

Have Fun and give it to some bunny special!!!

Place your ribbon as shown. I put another piece of double sided tape over my
ribbon for added strength

Lay your ribbon over onto the other side and fold up as per the other side.

Decorate as desired.

Gift Cone

This gift cone is super quick and easy and looks lovely to give to someone.



Cut a large circle - I cut a 15cm dia circle. If you don't have a circle cutter use a small plate or bowl as a template. ** Note you can make your circle as big or small as you like** I found this size was a nice size.





I have used my corner rounder to punch a scalloped border around the edge




Gently roll your circle into a cone shape. Unroll and add some glue or very strong double sided tape and roll up again. Decorate as desired.

I have used a ziplock bag and cut off the ziplock section to hold some lollies inside my cone. You could add chocolates, soap, jewellery - anything!!!

Have fun!!!

hanging treat box

Hiya all, I'm just popping up some instructions for the treat box that I showed over at Divas for our Valentines Samples. I'm really pleased with how these turned out, and its something I will be doing again. I orginally found the instructions over at Splitcoast Stampers however everything was in imperial measurements. I took the concept and made up my own measurements!! You will need to use the image below to help you understand the measurements etc.

You will need to begin by cutting a sheet of cardstock into 2 peices, 15cm x 30 cm. You can use double sided patterned cardstock or something like plain Bazzill. Take one sheet of the cardstock and mark in 2cm and 4cms from both sides. Next mark 10cm and 12cm from the bottom. Score all these lines. Cut away the excess which is marked by the shaded section on the above image. You will also need to cut in the little 'tabs' which are marked with arrows. Next you fold and adhere the box together. Punch a hole in the hanger section. Next - decorate....

I decorated mine by adding pale pink card to both the front of the box and the inside of the hanger. I then added some Maya Road Felt, a large heidi swapp heart outline, a strip of the Little Yellow Bicycle paper. I cut out one of the Teresa Collins journal cards and added a popped up rubon which was also on pale pink card and cut out. Finally a button with loooong string. A great little idea for all occasions... I'm thinking a few movie tickets and some chocolate hanging off a bottle of bubbly - I'd love that as a birthday gift!!! I've seen them also done hanging off waterbottles with altered labels on the bottles - and the box filled with sweets and a thank you card - it was a baby shower gift.

Don't forget to share your creations in the Diva Gallery!!

Quick back to school layout

Hi all, I wanted to share a super fast and clean lined layout - perfect for those back to school layouts. My middle child, Jack, started Prep today and up here in Qld that means full time school. He wasn't keen to go but I settled him really fast, snapped a few photos and left. I got the photos developed today (of course) LOL.

1. Cut Black CS 8.5x11. Cut white CS 8x10.5 and adhere to centre of black. Allign 2 4x6 photos as shown. 2. I've used Scenic Route Strips paper for this but its not essential, just 2 matching pattern paper will do.

3. Cut 1 paper 8x1.5, the other 8x0.5. Adhere to top and bottom of photos as shown

4. Choose a small journal spot - a sheer, a rubon, a stamp.... I used a Kelly Panaccini Stamp on white cardstock with red ink.

5. Cut out journal spot and mount onto another circle of Cardstock (I've used the scallop circle by Stampin Up)

6. Add the date to the centre of your journal spot - I've used Basic Grey and Making Memories stickers

7. Adhere to the bottom of your right hand photo, overlapping the photo and the paper strip.

8. Add your title - I've used the word prep, created with white Scenic Route alpha stickers

9. Finish off your layout by adding some journalling along the top of the larger upper strip of paper and add a small arrow pointing to your title. The arrow is a felt Maya Road arrow and I've used a clear strip of dymo printed labelling for the journalling.

There you have it - a simple layout, using not many materials and recording a great moment!!

a video for you

No laughing at my very poor videoing. Especially for Helen and Michelle (and all those beginner sewers out there). I apologise for the video shake too, I was holding the camera with one hand and trying to do everything else with my other hand LOL.

Don't forget, you can do this in any size, just make sure you allow for the extra room when you fold your book shut. Diary covers make a great gift - and diaries are now in the cheap shops for a few dollars each.

Embellish the front with whatever you like, iron on or sew on transfers are cute.
