Mr. and Mrs. Bunny
Today I'm going to share with you two cute little bunny boxes I created using the Curvy Keepsake Box. These were part of my display at Inking Idaho On The Road Stamping Event held earlier this year in March. I had created Mrs. Bunny last year for the event, but did a makeover on her this year. And yes....I had to create a Mr. Bunny as she needed a friend.
What do you think?
Here are Basic instructions so you can make them too.
Have fun...
Punches used: Classic Label, 1" Circle (cheeks), 1/2" Circle (eyes), 2" Circle (for Mr. Bunny's Hat)
3/8" Circle (inside eyes), Petite Petals, Bow Builder Punch
Thinlits and Framelits: Layering Ovals Framelits (Mrs Bunny's Hat, 2 1/4"x 1 1/4" oval), Layering Circles Framelits (Mrs. Bunny's Hat Brim 2 5/8" circle), Flower Fair Framelits (ears on both), Basket Builder Framelits (small egg for the nose)
Cardstock: Tip Top Taupe, Smokey Slate, Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Basic Black, Sweet Sugarplum
Ink: Sweet Sugarplum, Tip Top Taupe, Smokey Slate, Blushing Bride
Accessories: Delicate White Doily, 2016-2018 In Color Envelope Paper, Tasty Treats Specialty Designers Series Paper, Linen thread, White gel pen
Mrs. Bunny
Sponge all the Blushing Bride pieces with Blushing Bride ink
Put your Curvy Keepsake Box together
Face goes on the round tab side of the box
Add dimensionals to the cheeks and attach to the lower part of the Curvy Keepsake box front
Put your eyes together and attach with Multipurpose Liquid Glue ("green glue" as I call it)
Attach whiskers to the nose with green glue, let dry a bit and then attach to the cheeks with more green glue
Attach the mouth with glue and slide under the cheeks
Sponge the Sweet Sugarplum hat pieces with Sweet Sugarplum ink.
Hold the two pieces of the hat crown together and slide under the Classic Label cutout in the hat brim and bend up. This will provide a bend/score line for you. This is the amount you will glue under the brim. Glue the top of the crown with a small dot of glue. Glue the hat to the doily.
Put the ears together and attach to the crown of the hat with glue.
Put together the bow and attach it to the brim in front of the ears with glue. I made a flower using the Petite Petal Punch and added to the top of the hat.
Turn your hat over and cut a slit in the doily between the Classic Label cutout so it will fit on the Curvy Keepsake Box top. As shown in the picture.
Mr. Bunny
Mr. Bunny is put together the same as Mrs. Bunny only using Smokey Slate Cardstock and Smokey Slate Ink for sponging the Curvy Keepsake Box and face instead of the Tip Top Taupe and Soft Suede Cardstock and ink for the hat. 1/8" Whisper White strips are used for the teeth on Mr. Bunny instead of the egg shape for the month as on Mrs. Bunny. The ears are using the large leaf in the Flower Fair Framelits. His hat is made of Soft Suede using the largest Circle in the Layering Circle Framelits and a 2" Punch. I cut a notch out of the top of the hat circle. Cut a 2" slit about 1/8" wide in the center of the hat. Score about 1/4" on the 2" circle slide into the slit on the hat brim and bend up. Glue to the underneath part of the brim as shown in the picture. If you want it to look like he has taken a bite out of his hat use one of the Scallop Layering Ovals before you put the hat together. Add a 1/2' wide hat band if you would like from a scrap of Designers Series Paper. I used Tasty Treats Specialty Designers Series Paper. Curl and bend the hat like you want it to look. I made mine look like a cowboy type hat, the kind my dad always wore.
