Some-BUNNY Loves You

Hi friends, how ya doing?

If you follow me on Snapchat (whimsycreation) or Instagram (whimsical_creations), you will notice this as being a much more involved version of the treat boxes I made for the Ronald McDonald Children's Home (RMCH). I made 10 of these with only the bunny peeking out to take to the RMCH; I filled the boxes with green and pink faux grass, then added as much candy as I could pack in to each one. I also took the leftover candy to RMCH, I hope the families were able to enjoy the items! 

All die cuts are from Pretty Pink Posh (bunny products and treat box)- goodness, I so love their products!

Anywho, as I was cutting the boxes for RMCH, I cut 2 extras to create little care packages for a couple dear friends. One's favorite color(s) is black and white; I didn't know the other's favorite color, so I did a light lilac.

Before I die cut the boxes, I used the Spellbinder's Tufted 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the full panel. I embossed, die cut, then embossed again to help with any embossing that was somewhat flattened during the die cutting process. 

Once complete, I highlighted the black box with white pigment ink and the lilac box with a dark purple ink. All inks, except the white pigment ink, are from Simon Says Stamp pawsitively ink. I adhered the boxes together with double-sided tape to make sure they were strongly secured. I then die cut and shaded lots of elements from the Easter Mugs Addition and Big Easter Cupcake dies; the bunny is from the  Bunny Face Shaker dies. The inside of the bunny ears were cut from white card stock and some were cut from a light grey card stock, shading was added with pink Copics. 

Oh, I almost forgot, I purchased the grass border die, also from Pretty Pink Posh. I die cut it from a couple different shades of green card stock and also added shading. I was able to create two rows of grass from one die cut. 

Thanks for HOPPING by, I hope this gives you some inspiration!

Valentine's Day - mega delay

Hello, HELLO!

Long, long ago, in a faraway land... 😁

Let me tell you, 2025 has not been my year; for anyone that knows me, respiratory infections and I have a deep-seated dislike for one another and 2025 has gifted me with two! I was sick all of January (yes, respiratory infections last about a month for me, even with breathing treatments, inhaler, steroids, etc. 😐), then February 13, I took a tumble at work and ended up with a severe concussion - that's a whole other story!! Three days before I was released from concussion protocol, I got another respiratory infection, so I was sick most of March. Just past that, I got violently ill one early morning, the kind where things happen from every end, all at once. Yeah, THAT was TMI, but boy, was I sick. It took a full week before smells did not bother me, and just over 48 hours before I could begin eating normal again. Seriously, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried!! Someone did ask me if I thought it was norovirus, I have absolutely no idea, but I wouldn't wish that on my greatest enemy!!

So...I'm very delayed in posting anything Valentine's related and I do have several things to post! First up, separate from these cute little mini cards, I made A2 size cards (post coming later) for several of my girlfriends and gave them little gifts. I wanted their A2 cards to be part of the gift, so I decided I would make some quick little cards to write on. These are the ones I made and I decided they were too cute, I couldn't write on them either. lol, I mean, SERIOULSLY!!

I used Pinkfresh's Rounded & Braided Rectangle die and cut a colored piece of card stock as well as some leftover designer paper I had on hand. I then used the Simon's Swirl Piercing Plate on the designer paper - you'll probably have to zoom in to see it, but it's there and adds such great detail!

I die cut multiple mini Interactive Envelopes and hearts from various card stock colors. I also die cut the little piece of paper 6 times. I used the Memory Box Distress Stamp (no longer available) to add faint notebook lines to the inserts. I then stamped sentiments from The Greetery's Just My Type in various inks. I finished the mini cards off with some clay hearts. 

And cutest gnome ever? DEFINITELY. Purchased from Leanne from gnomes_and_rainbows_co. 

Thanks for popping in; I hope you are well!!
