Excellent Eggs -Easter Egg Box

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.

Stamp Set: Excellent Eggs

Cardstock: Highland Heather, Basic White, Perennial Lavender DSP

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.
