I searched high and low for an old pattern that I had printed out for making these Easter Egg boxes. It is a pattern from Stampin' Up! back in the 2003-2004 Annual Catalog on page 30. I will try to scan it and add it to this below. I had so much fun making these years ago. Here are the products I used to make this. It will be fun to fill with Easter chocolate eggs.
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Gorgeous Grape, Bubble
Bath Classic Marker
Other: Pattern, Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Excellent
Eggs Dies, Darling Details Dies, Taylor Made Tags Dies, retired 3/8” Open Weave
Fresh Freesia Ribbon, Tear and Tape, Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’
Dimensionals
1.First I scanned the pattern
and put Stampin' Up! cardstock in the feeder to print the pattern onto the
cardstock.
2.Then with large scissors or
Paper Snips, I cut out the pattern and used the Bone Folder on the scoring
lines.
3.After I cut it out, I
traced around the egg part onto the Perennial Lavender DSP twice with a pencil
and cut them out, but you could do it just for the front. I attached them to the front and back with
Multipurpose Liquid Glue covering up the handles (I didn’t cut them out).
4.I used Basic White
cardstock to die-cut the Darling Details Dies to give it a lacy look and I cut
off the edges with the Paper Snips. Then
I wrapped the ribbon between the two and attached with Tear and Tape. I added another inside egg piece of Highland
Heather to cover that part up.
5.Die-cut a Tailor Tag from
Highland Heather and inked up Happy Easter with Gorgeous Grape ink.
6.I inked up the bunny on
Basic White with Tuxedo Black Memento and colored his ears and nose with Bubble
Bath Classic Marker. Then die-cut him out and attached him over the hole of the
Taylor Tag with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
7.Add three Rainbow Adhesive
Backed Dots. I used one for his tail.
This is a card we did at my workshop on Sunday. I was inspired by a card that Susan Smith did using this set. My customers loved it. There is a lot of die-cutting on the inside, but I used Glue Dots to adhere the flowers.
Other:Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper
Trimmer, Bone Folder, Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, Garden Meadow Dies,
Nested Shapes Dies, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Glue Dots
1.The
base of the card is Thick Basic White cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored
at 5-1/2” and 2-3/4”.Burnish the score
lines with the Bone Folder.Turn the
2-3/4” back towards the front top of the Thick Basic White card.
2.Cut
the DSP at 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”.Cut it in
half with the Paper Trimmer at 2-3/4”.With Multipurpose Liquid Glue, glue the top DSP to the top of the card
that folds back.Glue the bottom half to
the bottom of the Thick Basic White card.
3.Cut
Balmy Blue cardstock at 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” which is the same width and length as
the card front.Take the arch die from
the Garden Meadow Dies and center it on the Balmy Blue cardstock and run it
through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.Remove the leftover arch and set aside.Now, insert leftover Balmy Blue front in the Exposed Brick 3D EF and run
it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.Adhere Multipurpose Glue at the very top and the sides only so that the
bottom of the Balmy Blue cardstock hangs down.You will see your Meandering Meadows scenery through the archway when
closed.
4.Ink
up the word “hello” with Blueberry Bushel ink. Die-cut with the Nested Shapes Banner and adhere to the top left corner
of the Balmy Blue front.
5.Ink
up four flower stamps and one watering can with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
6.Die-cut
them out and color with the Stampin’ Blends.Adhere the one flower on the bottom right of the Balmy Blue front.Add the others inside with Glue Dots just
above the bottom scenery.Adhere the
watering can inside and make it appear as though watering the front flower but
be sure it is adhered just below the top scenery.Ink up the sentiment “Every day is a Fresh
Start” with Tuxedo Black Memento on the inside towards the left.

secure in the back with Tear and Tape. Then
