Easter Bunny Curvy Keepsake Box

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

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 Tip top Taupe pieces with Tip Top Taupe ink
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.

Inking Idaho On The Road- Punch Art

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Boy, It's been a bit since I was able to post to my Blog, 

Sorry.

I have been dealing with internet/phone issues for the last month.  Finally I think it has been all corrected after 4 repair men, new cable lines from my house out to the pole, new connectors, then new lines down the alley 4 block and weeks later we're up and running. 

Yea!!!! I'm doing the "Happy Dance"

 

Now to the fun stuff!!!

 

Today I'm going to share with you the punch art picture I made for Inking Idaho on the Road Raffle drawing this past weekend.

I love it.. I think it is sooo cute.

What do you think?

I have it laying down on the table, but it is a table top stand up frame, each side is 8"x 10".

My granddaughter wanted to know why the one bear is so sad.  I said," Well let me tell you the story I was thinking when I made it."

The one bear is sad because he has no honey and just bees buzzing around. The little girl bear is happy because she has all the honey.  So the boy bear picks a flower for her hoping she will give him a pot of honey.

 My granddaughter loved it.

I hope you like it too.

As you look at it you can see there are many punches and framelits used in many different ways.

Copper Embossed Affectionately Yours

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Copper, Copper, Copper 

This Fun/Fancy Fold card I'm sharing with you today I think is just gorgeous with all the copper,  Copper Foil Paper, Copper Embossing Powder and Copper Embossed Designers Series Paper. 

Here it is opened, isn't that fun...

 

I had so much fun making this card.  I normally tell everyone at my classes that you have to 

"stamp first" and then punch out, but on this cards the rules changed.  I had everyone punch out the flowers first, stamp the centers of the flowers with Versa Mark and then emboss with Copper Embossing Powder.  I had never embossed on the foil paper and I hadn't seen where anyone else has tried.  So I thought well... what have I got to loose, I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but I think it is beautiful.  What do you think?

The flowers are put on with Stampin' Dimensionals to give that extra pop.

Products Used:

Stamp Set:  Love and Affection

Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Copper Foil Sheets

Punches:  Pansy, Decorative Label,

Thinlits:  Rose Garden

Designers Series Paper: Affectionately Yours
