Here’s a little bunny house based on the Dasher House by Cristena. I used Bashful Blue and created the bunny like several I did last year – using punches. 
The eggs are from Easter Blossoms in the Occasions Mini. I stamped them in Rose Red on Regal Rose, Not Quite Navy on Bashful, Pretty in Pink on Pink Pirouette and So Saffron on So Saffron! 
Isn’t he cute?
Samantha is in a show this weekend – it started this morning! I’m spending most of my time in the dark, back stage! Hope to get caught up sometime soon –
Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

Carrot Box Tutorial
Here’s a cute spring idea – a carrot that is “growing” right out of the box. It’s perfect for Easter or anything “spring!” The carrot is made with the Petal Cone die and will hold candy or a small gift. And I have the directions for sale in my Tutorial Shop . 
These use the Petal Cone die, Fancy Favor die and Petals a Plenty embossing folder. The instructions have over 55 pictures along with step by step directions for both views.

It looks like spring has come early! (Oh, I wish!) Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
Easter Blossoms Shadow Box
This was a card creation that could have gone on and on! 
Springtime Vintage DSP is so pretty and this little girl was just waiting to be surrounded by all those blooms. (The tutorial for making this type of card is here .) By using Dimensionals, I was able to create lots of dimension (hey! That’s where they got their name!) Here’s a close up and list of supplies –

Spring Tags
I’m kind of stuck on tags at the moment and I hope you’ll just bear with me! This little set was taken from the Occasions Mini page 23. There is a little tag on a basket that I cased and then expanded on, Using the Eggcellent Eggs Kits, I made a set of tags and a slider box to hold them.
Stamp set – Eggcoutrements
card stock – Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink
ink – So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Perfect Plum, Bashful Blue
ect – Eggcellent Eggs Kit, Soft Subtle brads, Large tag punch, Small tag punch, linen thread, Pink Satin ribbon, acetate (box top)
When you make these tags you will be covering up the basket image in the Eggcoutrements set. It covers it but you might want to keep your Stamping Write Markers on hand to touch up the spaces by the leaves. Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
Little Bunny Jar
Here’s an idea for table or party favors taken from a favor I made at Christmas and those wonderful candies we’ve done for lots of holidays.
The jars are from the wedding section of a craft store and the rest of him is punches – well, except the tail, which is a pom-pom held on with a Pop Up Glue Dot.
Stamps – Perfect Petals (ears)
card stock – Whisper White, Regal Rose, Basic Black, Brilliant Blue, Pretty in Pink
ink – Basic Black, Regal Rose
ect – Scallop Circle punch (face), Small Oval punch (ears), 3/4″ circle punch (cheeks) , 1/2″ and 1/4″ circle punches (eyes, nose, mouth), Large Oval Punch (feet), white gel pen, pom-pom, Black Stampin Write Marker, white grosgrain ribbon
Have fun making these cute little bunnies! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
Looking Ahead to Easter
I don’t mean to push past Valentines Day and rush into Easter, but I thought you might enjoy this bunny.
Two Christmases (is this a word?) ago (!) the kids and I made all kinds of decorations using chipboard and origami. (Here is a fun origami site!) One piece was a giant origami bell. I’m still looking for the pictures to show you how cool they were – but in the meantime I’ve sized the bell down and made it into some cute little animals. I’m going to share the bunny with you – and will share the directions for the fold as soon as I get the smaller diagram drawn up. The cute idea for the feet was cased from Sandy MacIver from a bunny she did last year.
stamp set – All Holidays
card stock – Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Sahara Sand, Hostess pack Sahara Sand DSP, Basic Black, Brilliant Blue
ect – Wide, large and small oval punches, 1 1/4″, 1″, 1/2″ and 1/4″ circle punches, Pastels
Working on the folding instructions today! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
