PLEASE DON'T EAT THE CARROTS!

This is a little garden gate basket that I converted into a holder for little chocolate carrots. I made it with my Silhouette machine and the GARDEN ARBOR BASKET CUTTING FILE available at THE DIGI CHICK. The flower centers were made with punches and the bunny is a die from Paper Trey Ink.

 I just used a small oval die to create the holes in a flat sheet of cardstock for the carrots.   You can almost see the drool on the poor little guys face since he can't get in to get at the carrots.  Aside from my bunny egg holder it is just about the only decoration I got put up for Easter this year. It seems like it came up so fast and with the weather lately???? Spring seems a million miles away!

EASTER EGG HOLDER

This is a little egg holder that I made from what was supposed to be an Easter card template. Instead of folding it, I just rounded the edge to create a place for an egg.  The card kit, THE HOPPY EASTER CARD CUTTING FILE, includes three other bunny shapes and the templates for the flower that is on the bunny too. And it is on sale!

 The kit contains files for electronic cutting machines but for this one, I cut out the shapes by hand.  They can be used either way which makes using them convenient for times when I am away from my supplies in my craft room.  I printed out the template, took them with me to my son's piano lesson, and cut them there. The smaller flowers were tricky but doable and because I was crinkling them up they didn't have to be perfect.

Have a great weekend!
