Chocolate Bunny Archives - Inkspired Treasures

Wow! Where does the week go? It's Saturday again and time for another Create with Connie and Julie Challenge! Every Saturday on the Create with Connie & Julie site we issue a challenge. Our subscribers are encouraged to enter the challenge to win fabulous prizes! Last week's challenge winners were Becky Graham, Lori Watson and Robin Gregor as honorable mention! Congratulations, ladies!

For this week's challenge the theme is Easter Cards! Our focus was on Stampin' Up!'s stamp set Eggcoutrements, Chocolate Bunny stamp, Spring Floral Wheel and the Eggcellent Egg Kit. I chose to feature the Chocolate Bunny for my Easter Card! I LOVE him!

I started with a base card of Certainly Celery, then used two different patterns from Tea Party Designer Paper. I used the Scallop Trim Border Bunch along the top and the bottom. I stamped the Easter Bunny in Vanilla Craft Ink, Close to Cocoa Craft Ink and Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder and cut them out. Of course, they represent the three types of chocolate…white, milk and dark! Yummy! They look real! I wrapped some Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon across the top and added the Scallop Oval punched tag stamped with Happy Easter from Well Scripted. I highlighted the word happy with my Certainly Celery Stampin' Write marker!

Supplies:

Sets: Chocolate Bunny, Well Scripted

Inks: Vanilla Craft, Close to Cocoa Craft, Chocolate Chip Craft, Certainly Celery Stampin' Write Marker

Cardstock: Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Whisper White

It's time! The February Tour de Freaks is here…brought to you by your Control Freak Swappers! You've probably just arrived from Wendy Janson's blog, weren't her projects gorgeous? We have 16 stops for you today!

Our theme this month was the Occasions Mini! Well…that's a broad theme! I'm sure you'll get lots of new ideas!

My first projects uses…what else…Chocolate Bunny! What can I say…he just is a favorite of mine! I stamped him in Chocolate Chip Craft Ink on Close to Cocoa cardstock and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, then cut him out.

Can you tell what the carrot is made from? Yep! The Large Scallop Circle Die! I received one of these carrots for a swap at Leadership, but I changed out the colors and added the bunny in the top. I wanted to use a real chocolate bunny, but the ones I bought were too big. That's when I figured that my stamped one would work even better!

The base of the carrot is from Pumpkin Pie cardstock and I sponged the edges. The leaves of the carrot are Old Olive and also sponged. I used some fancy shredded paper to fill it. I punched two holes to be able to tie the Old Olive Satin Ribbon and help hold the edges closed. Then stamped Happy Easter from Well Scripted with Old Olive ink and punched with the Wide Oval Punch. Isn't it FUN???

My second project uses the Big Shot again with the Fancy Favor Box. I cut it from Pixie Pink cardstock and ran the Spring Floral Wheel in Pixie Pink Ink Cartridge across the bottom of it twice. I used the Wheel Guide to help me keep it straight!

On the front I made a bunny from punches! The face is a 1 3/8 circle of Pretty in Pink, the cheeks are 1" Whisper White circle punches and 3/4 Pretty in Pink circles layered in top. His nose is a Pixie Pink 1/2" circle. The whiskers are Sahara Sand slivers of cardstock. The eyes are actually Small Ovals cut down to a smaller size with 1/4" circles of Basic Black and highlighted with the White Gel Pen. The ears are Scallop Ovals from Whisper White and the Welcome Neighbors Designer Paper punched with the Large Oval Punch. I gave him a bowtie made from the Old Olive Satin Ribbon and the Old Olive handle is attached with Clear Rhinestone Brads.

I kept the back simple with just the Easter stamp from Eggcoutrements stamped in Old Olive Classic Ink on Whisper White and punched with the Designer Label punch. It is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals!

I filled it with some multi-colored shredded paper. I was going to fill it with Jelly Beans, but my husband ate them all! lol!
