Gift Box Punch Board Bunny Boxes

Every Easter my kids get bunny boxes filled with two Reese’s Peanut Butter eggs. I only made three this year because Sean won’t be coming home for Easter. I’m so happy that he’s been invited to attend church and Easter dinner with a friend’s family in Seattle.

The boxes are 1.75″ x 1.75″ x 3.25″. You need a 8″x 8″ sheet of cardstock for each box.
The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is Tasty Treats Specialty DSP.
The ovals in the new Stitched Shapes Framelits are sized perfectly for making bunnies.

The bunny tails came from the Birthday Bright Project Kit on page 13 in the Occasions 2017 catalog.

Are you wondering how I’ll make the cute gift tags that come in the Birthday Bright Project Kit without the bunny tails? Don’t worry… since the boxes are for my kids, I’ll confiscate the bunny tails after Easter and reuse them on the birthday tags. Hopefully Stampin’ Up! will have more of these Honeycomb embellishments in the annual catalog.

For those of you in the Des Moines area- Who wants to come over and make these fun cards and tags in my new Stamping Studio? $30 per kit, which is cheaper than you could buy it and make it at home. You’ll go home with 12 cards and envelopes, 12 gift tags and an adorable box to store them in.

I told you it was adorable!

Here’s the bunny boxes from last year. You can see that I used embossing folders on these bunnies.

Princess Baby Card

My sweet BSF friend has three little boys and recently had a darling baby girl! When you have three boys and one girl, the girl becomes the princess among the princes. I wanted to make a pink princess card to welcome the new baby.

I used the Case The Designer challenge from Global Design Project to get the layout for my card. You should check out their challenge.

Are you wondering what I’ve been up to? Steve and I were out of town on a business trip for three nights. Last Saturday we celebrated my Dad’s 78th birthday. I told him I’d make whatever he wanted and he chose pulled pork, homemade rolls, roasted sweet potatoes and pecan pie made with a lard crust. My pulled pork takes about 48 hours to make, but it’s easy, as are the roasted sweet potatoes. I used to make homemade rolls a couple times a week, but haven’t made them in so long (because we try not to eat a lot of bread anymore), I had to find the recipe to make them. I was happy they turned out.

Every time I make a pie, my Dad says, “This is an awesome pie, but you should make it with lard instead of Crisco.” Well, I figured since it was his birthday I should try it. I must admit the lard pie crust was easier to work with and it was indeed the best pie I’ve ever made. I will now make the pies with lard. It’s a good thing we don’t have pie very often!

My parents took the rest of the pie home so they could celebrate his birthday again that night with some friends.

Last weekend, Abby competed in the IHSSA Individual Speech contest in Lit program and Public Address. She received a “1” on both and will be competing again at the State contest. Abby didn’t let me listen to either speech ahead of time. Her Lit Program was called Speech Impediment. Abby has a speech impediment that makes it very hard for her to say “r” and “l.” She had speech therapy from age 3 through sixth grade. She has some words she still avoids because they are too difficult for her to say. Anyway, the Lit program is three different poems or essays. She did a great job delivering her speech. When she got to the last poem, I ended up crying, because the poem was telling of struggles so similar to what Abby experienced as a third grader. When I went to the hall to congratulate her, I was embarrassed that I was crying and told her teacher that the last poem was exactly what happened to Abby. Her teacher then told me Abby had written the poem and labeled it anonymous. God has blessed me with an awesome daughter who’s willing to go after whatever she feels called to do, no matter how hard it may be!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
