#41 SVG Attic DT Day Easter Bunny Treat Box

Hi everyone it's Sandra here and it's my day to post on the SVG Attic Blog , hope you are having a great St. Patty's Day so far! For today's project I made an Easter Bunny Treat Box holding Whopper Egg candies for my son's Easter basket. I LOVE the way this box is shaped, while I was assembling it a thought came to my mind...... this box would also be perfect to hold cards and envelopes and/or 4x6 photos! This box measures 4x6 inches and I stamped the sentiment and also added a little cotton tail using a Christmas pom pom from Joann's. I cut this box out using my SCAL 3 along with my Cameo.

The set I used here is called EASTER FUN and comes with a bunch of cute 3D Easter items!

Hi everyone sorry I've been a little M.I.A. lately I am getting near the end of my pregnancy I just entered my 9th month of pregnancy today and I haven't been crafting nearly as much as I want to, and I've been really sick with the flu these past couple of days.

For my layout I actually made this almost a month ago but haven't had a chance to get it posted on my blog, I made a pre-made scrapbook page for St. Patty's Day this year! All the files I used here are from My Scrap Chick, I added tons of Stickles, Glimmer Mist and I also did some stitching with my Sew Easy. I also added some gold glitter ribbon along with gold brads. I also used Peachy Keen Stamps here for the bear's face, and also the sentiment on the lower left corner.

For Mason's card I went with n outer space theme my inspiration for my card was my son Aidan who is obsessed with aliens right now. I figured if my little boy likes aliens Mason will probably like aliens too! The svg set I used is called "Out of This World SVG Collection" by SVG Cuts.

To create Mason's card I made a long card to fit into a regular size business envelope the card is 4 x 9.25 inches long! I cut out the alien, star and sentiment using SCAL 3 along with my lovely Silhouette Cameo. Check out this sentiment it's only 1.5 inches with lots of detail and it cut perfectly, love my Cameo! I also added googly eyes, a ribbon bow tie, Stickles, ribbon and I used a border punch to create the tiny dots.
