Share it Sunday! Free tutorial - Easter Bunny treat holder!

 
It's Sunday - and time to share another great card and free tutorial! Today I'm sharing an oh so sweet treat holder with the Easter Bunny bundle - I shared another design with this same treat holder earlier this week HERE.  Starting to get in the Easter mood now that Lent is here - April 9 will be here before you know it.   Hope you like it!  Enjoy!

Unfortunately the punch is not available until May 15th - after Easter - but the set definitely can stand on it's own - and Mr. Bunny is not hard to fussy cut.

SF-2023 February Blog Hop - Fabulous Fun Fold & 3D Projects!

 

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for tons of wonderful inspiration as we create Fabulous Fun Fold & 3D projects to share with you!!
 ~*~*~*~*~  
Spring is really starting here in TN - and the Sunshine and Daffodils blooming everywhere makes me so happy.  So I decided to go with that theme for my projects this month - and yes, this month we are each doing a fun fold card plus a 3D project - so be sure to check it out!!
For my projects I am using the Rain or Shine Suite of products from page 50 & 51 of the SU! Jan. - Apr. 2023 Mini Catalog.  This is just such a fun suite and full of sunshine (and rain) and a lot of smiles!!
I love everything about this - and have been playing with it a lot - even more exciting it coordinates with our current Paper Pumpkin set.

#160556 Rain or Shine Suite  $85.25

My card is a book binding fun fold - such a perfect way to showcase these products - the stamp set, dies, DSP and Loose Daisy embellishments all come together to create this fun card.  I took a few more minutes to finish off the inside of the card too.  The card base is 4 1/4" x 11" scored at4 1/2" and 5 1/2" on the long side.  Add your ribbon to that one inch section and seal that section down to the back - then finish your card. 
Next I wanted to create a fun little treat/gift holder to go with it - so I made this adorable little 2-4-6-8 box that just shouts happiness!  Just think of the fun stuff you could fill this with. Check out my upcoming post on Sunday as I'll be sharing another of these little boxes along with instructions on my Share it Sunday post! 
Wouldn't this just be a great little duo to give for a birthday, Easter - or just I love you.
