Oddball Bunny Easter Carrot Treat Box | Stamping Bella

Hi all, Today I'm sharing how to make an Easter Treat Box featuring Oddball Easter Bunny and the sentiment from Chocolate Bunnies rubber stamp set. This gift box is quite large; the gift compartment is 7.5" and goes from 3" on the top to 1" at the bottom. 

Supplies:

Oddball Easter Bunny rubber stamp

Chocolate Bunnies rubber stamp set (sentiment)

White card

Easter themed paper

Scoring board and bone folder

Liquid glue

Grass Border Die

Tag Die

How to: 

Cut 2 pieces of card measuring 11.5" x 6" and, using the template below, score both pieces. 

Note: The 7.5" section determines the length/height of the box; you can adjust this as necessary. For a shorter box, reduce the 7.5" and for a longer box increase it. 

Again, using the template below, score where indicated by the dotted lines, then cut the solid red lines, removing the outer 1" squares and the two centre 1" squares. Repeat for both pieces

After removing the 1" tabs, the bottom of the base pieces should look like this.  

Fold and burnish all of the straight score lines. 

Gently fold in the outer diagonal lines ensuring it goes right up to the intersecting score  line. 

When all diagonal scorelines are folded and burnished, both pieces should look like this: 

Apply wet glue into the valley, right from the top to the bottom. 

Fold the piece in half and burnish well

Use a bone folder in the crease to make a crisp line. Repeat for both pieces then set aside to allow the glue to dry. 

While the glue is drying on the base pieces of card, stamp Oddball Easter Bunny onto blending card, colour and fussy cut around the outline. 

Retrieve the base pieces of card and ensure the glue is completely dried. Cut approximately 0.25" away from the score line to remove the excess card. Repeat on both pieces. 

Place both base pieces side by side. Apply glue to the outside of one of the side panels and adhere the other piece to it, lining up the edges. Again, once the glue has completely dried, cut away the excess. 

To complete the shape, first cut away the excess from both ends of the card. Apply glue to one of them, fold the base in half and adhere to the other end. Burnish well to ensure it adheres properly. 

Decide which side will be the front and fold back the 1" tab. Fold in one of the side tabs, apply glue to it and fold in the other side tab on top of it. Apply glue and fold up the back tab. Finally apply glue and fold down the front tab. 

Cut four pieces of paper measuring 7.25" x 2.75". On the bottom, measure in 1" from each side and mark with a pencil. Cut from the outer top corners down to the 1" markings to create the paper layers. Adhere all the layers to the base. 

On the top of the box (the 3" sections) taper the edges of the side tabs and trim them down by approx. 1/2". Do not trim the front and back tabs. Fold the side tabs in. 

Cut two grass border pieces from green card. Bring the front and back top tabs together and wrap one of the borders around it. Trim down the second grass border to fit the width of the tabs and adhere to the back of the folder border. This create a belly band type closure.

Slide the grass borders over the front and back tabs

Create a mat layer for Oddball Easter Bunny and adhere it to the front of the box. 

Place the carrot shaped candy bag into the box. 

Stamp the sentiment from Chocolate Bunnies rubber stamp set  onto a piece of card and adhere to the top section of the box using foam tape. 

Use the trimmings from the grass border on the bottom of the box and cut some Easter eggs from the papers and decorate.

Oddball Easter Bunny Baskets | Stamping Bella Tutorial

Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing how I made these Oddball Easter Bunny Baskets. These are so quick and easy to make and they are great gifts for adults and kids alike. 

Supplies:

Oddball Easter Bunny 

Easter Sentiments

Coloured card

Designer paper

Scoring board and bone folder

Circle and scalloped circle dies

Pennant die

How to: 

Stamp Oddball Easter Bunny and one of the Easter Sentiments onto white card

Colour the image and cut out using a circle die, first cutting around the ear and slipping the die behind. 

Cut out a larger scalloped circle and cut the sentiment out using a pennant die. 

Adhere the image to the scalloped circle and set aside to make the basket

For the basket, cut one piece of card measuring 7.5" x 7.5". Score at 2.5" and 5", flip 90 degrees and score at 2.5" and 5" again. You will have 9 squares measuring 2.5" x 2.5" 

Cut on one side, on the scorelines, up to the intersecting scoreline. Repeat on the side opposite. 

For the paper layers, cut 6-8 squares measuring 2 3/8" x 2 3/8". You will need 8 squares if you are adhering paper to the centre panel. On this sample I used 6.

Adhere the paper paper squares to the outside squares. 

Fold in the outer flaps to make and cross over as shown. The wider the gap at the top, the longer your basket will be. 

Repeat on the other side. 

To make the handle, curve a 12" x 1" piece of patterned paper over your fingers

Apply adhesive to the end of the handle and adhere to the inside the box. 

Repeat on the other side. 

Retrieve the image and apply a strip of foam tape to the back. 

Adhere the image to the basket, in the centre where you overlapped the panels. 

Adhere the sentiment beneath the image. 

Fill with Easter candies and chocolate bunnies.
