Fry Box Bunny Easter treat basket

This will be one of my class project.  At Easter, I always like to make a treat holder with a treat in it.  I haven't purchased the treats yet, but I have made the Easter basket.

  • one fry box was die cut using Hello Honey cardstock; another was die cut using the Flowering Fields DSP.  The two were adhered together.
  • After burnishing the fold lines, the fry box was adhered together using strong tape.
Ears:
  • Large Oval Punch - 2 punchies in Hello Honey
  • Medium Oval Punch - 2 punchies using the Flowering Fields DSP
Adhere the two sizes of oval punchies together  to form the two ears.  Then glue them to the back of the Fry Box.

Face: 
  • 1" circle punch in Whisper white for the cheeks  - punch 2.  Daub some Pink Pirouette ink on each to emulate some blush.
  • Eyes:  3/4" circle punch - punch 2 in Whisper White; 1/2" circle punch - punch 2 in Basic black for the pupils.  Adhere black circles to 1/2" white circles to form eyes.  Glue them to the top of the front of the basket close together. Highlight the eyes using a white gel pen.
  • Place a couple of dimensionals on the back of each 1" circle and stick 3 pieces of Baker's twine to each.  Glue these circles under the eyes to form the cheeks and whiskers.
  • Heart punch from the itty bitty accessory pack - punch 1 in Real Red.  Turn it upside down and glue it for the nose.
Using the small nib end of a basic black marker, draw 3 circles on each cheek.

Fill basket with grass and treats. 

In summary, supplies used were as follows:
1.  Fry box die
2.  1" circle punch
3. 3/4" circle punch
4. 1/2" circle punch
5. Large oval punch
6. Medium oval punch
7. White Baker's twine

Valentine Treat Holder using Fry Box

 The focus of my class this week is Valentine's day, so I designed different treat holders.  The one I did today uses the Fry Box die.  It was really fun to decorate it and fill it with chocolate hearts (shhh!!! a few did not get into the holder).

  • The box is die cut using the Fry Box die - in Real Red cardstock.
  • Two pieces of Love Blossoms DSP are also die cut - one for the front and one for the back.  These are adhered to the Fry box and the box is folded and the edges adhered together.
  • The front was a lot of fun to decorate.
  • A doillie was crumpled to fit on the front, and a red glimmer heart die cut using the Hearts framelits was adhered to that.
  • Two rosettes of different sizes were made.  Flower field DSP was used- the small one using 3/4" by 12" strip of DSP; the larger one a 1" piece.  They were attached to the heart with each rosette showing a different DSP design.
  • A 1" Real Red circle was adhered to the rosette top; the sentiment "love" was die cut using the sentiment framelet and dazzling diamond glimmer paper.
  • A larger red glimmer heart was die cut and adherred to the back of the fry box.
  • Some chocolate covered hearts were placed in a small plastic bag and tied with white seam binding.  MMMM those chocolates are good.
Supplies Used:
Papers: Real Red, Love Blossom DSP, Field of Flowers DSP, Dazzling diamond glimmer paper, Red glimmer paper
Accessories: Fry Box die, 1" circle punch, doillie, hearts framelits, scoring tool, hot glue gun, white seam binding.
