Chicks & Chocolate Easter Projects

The past couple of years I've offered a few Chicks & Chocolate events. It's an evening that has the guests stamping 3 projects; a greeting card and two 3-D items. Of course, chocolate is always included!

These are the projects the girls made last night.

How cute is that little bunny???  I had precut and prepunched almost everything, so the girls last night just needed to assmble them.

His little box "body" is just the right size to hold an assortment of chocolate goodies!

 And what bunny would be complete without a cute little fuzzy tail!

While the bunnies we created last night were all grey, I also decided to try one in a crisp white!  Ack - just adorable, don't you think? :)

The second project was a little matchbox.  I love how quick these little boxes can go together.  They're easy to cut using the Matchbox die for my Big Shot. It cuts and scores everything in just one quick pass through the Big Shot.

 We dressed them up by adding a piece of designer paper to the top of the box wrap.  Before adhering, we embossed it with our Oval Designer Frame Mini Embossing Folder.  Once adhered, we punched out the center with our Extra Large Oval Punch and added a small piece of our clear window sheet to the underside to keep the candies from falling out.

To finish it off, we stamped a greeting on one of the tags (included on the Matchbook Bigz Die), added one of the small butterflies cut/embossed with the Beautiful Wings embosslit and tied it around the box with a piece of our new Daffodil Delight Seam Binding ribbon. 

Haven't seen this designer paper or seam binding ribbon yet?  That's because it's part of our April Summer Smooches Promotion!  These items are both a sneak peek from our upcoming new Idea Book & Catalogue.  You can order these (and a few other amazing sneak peek items) RIGHT NOW, but ONLY for the month of April!  After that,they won't be available again until June.

The third project we stamped was a greeting card.  Once again we used some of our Summer Smooches designer paper.  We stamped the bunny image from our Everybunny stamp set on watercolor paper and colored it in with some of our classic inks and our Aqua Painters.

The banner along the bottom is a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock that's been folded in a fan style and adhered in place.  The greeting was stamped on another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, punched with our Large Oval punch and layered on an Island Indigo punched Scallop Oval.

 Oh, and don't miss the little mushrooms stamped in the bottom corner.  They're part of the stamp set and I just HAD to include them on the card. ;)

It sounds like the girls all had a great time last night and really enjoyed the projects. 

Happy Stamping!
