Some Bunnies for Easter

I've been busy making bunnies for Easter!   Although my friends and I will not have our usual Easter Sale at church (since services have been suspended) I still wanted to make cards and treat boxes to deliver or mail to several people in this time of being Alone-Together!

I used the super fun Bunny Hop Dies from Tim Holtz/Sizzix for my ballerina bunnies

I used my Nested Egg Nestability dies to cut the large eggs out of watercolor paper and the small ones out of patterned paper.

I inked the egg by smooshing it onto my craft mat where I had rubbed both Ranger Distress Vintage Photo and Broken China and spritzed them with water.  I pounced the egg onto the inked mat until I was happy with the coverage.  I sponged around the edges of the egg with Ranger Distress Vintage Photo Ink.  I used a pink Copic for the ears, a grey Copic for the nose and an 01 Micron black fine tip marker for the eyes.

I made the tutu out of a rectangle of white netting.  

(It had been wrapped around a bouquet of flowers I was given sometime in the past and I'm happy I saved it!) 

 I sprayed the netting with Ranger Distress Spray Stain (Picked Raspberry on bunny above and Seedless Preserves on bunny below).  I dried it with my heat tool and gathered it along the top long edge with embroidery thread and tied it around the back of the bunny.

I adhered another die cut egg to the back to make the card, scoring it across the top about 1" down, so it would bend out and I cut the bottom of the back egg flat so the card will stand up!

And here's the boy bunny version using a different bunny die from the set.  I sponged around the edges of this bunny and the egg with Distress Vintage Photo ink

Next, I made some sweet little bunny treat boxes using Tiny Gift Box and Tiny Gift Box Bunny Add On dies from Lawn Fawn.  These are so adorable with their little die cut arms that can hold things

 (a carrot die and egg die are included in the set)

The box opens by pulling up on the bunnies tail!  And the back legs are adhered to the sides.  There's another leg die piece you can use that adheres to the sides and the bunny actually stands up on them.

These little boxes are about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" - two of these Hershey eggs will fit inside

And finally a bunny card - where the bunny has had bites taken out of him by Big Grumpy - Cat, from Taylored Expressions.  I used the die for the chick (where the little bird legs are cut) to cut the 'bite marks' on two edges of the bunny (ears and back).  The sentiment and popped up pieces are from Big Grumpy - Easter stamps and dies also from Taylored Expressions.  I colored the pieces with Copics

 I'm linking my Ballerina Bunny to the following challenges:
