Easter Bunnies and Shadowboxes!
Filed under Art Projects, Easter Egg Shadowbox Kit, Giveaways, Kristin Batsel, Newsletters, Sale
OK… first things first. I still hate Daylight Savings Time. Yep, same story as last year. Moving on…
I LOVE the artwork (and artist!) and new products today! Yay… the new Tim Holtz goodies have arrived!
And KRISTIN! Beside the adorable shadowbox at left, see that how-to preview from her blog post below? Great ideas! (Chop up that basket if it doesn’t fit! Glue eggs & chicks & any other small thingy you want to stay put on little stands to help anchor them!)
From Kristin’s post:
I love the tiny basket, but it was a bit too wide to tuck back into the corner of the box, so I took some heavy duty scissors and cut the back part out. It was also a little bit too tall, so I cut the bottom part off as well (after this photo was taken). Once the basket was cut to size, I glued it to the back and bottom of the box with some white glue. When it’s filled with a little Easter grass and some eggs, you can’t tell it’s been cut.
I’m also fond of the carrots adhered to the bottom of the finished shadowbox, kind of like a flourish. You can see everything Kristin used in this supply list.
That’s the smallest of the Mini Shadowboxes and the Easter box covers, and the same set is in the kit. Soooo many things can be done in such a small space.
Highlights from the New Goodies! – ALL on Sale! |

You could make one as a bookmark…. but they could be used as a “photo stick pin” in a collage or a bouquet… and Laura Carson used one of these bookmarks with some additional filigree (a couple Christmases ago) as a festive hostess gift… lots of ideas!

Hey, who won the Give Me Some Color Giveaway from Thursday’s newsletter? That would be Ann F! Congrats! Check your email for info.
Adorable details!
Love this box and all the little details! Smart idea to cut the basket to fit! I also love the idea of the stands to hold the basket contents. I have a little scene in a cookie cutter planned, and this has given me lots of inspiration!
Congrats Ann! I love it. I like mini’s, so this is right up my alley. I don’t think I would be brave enough to cut the basket, I would be afraid it would fall apart. Then on the other hand if you cut it in half you’d have two, one for another project. I guess it would depend on my needs at the time. Lots of new goodies to check out.
Soo cute! I would try to cut the basket. I probably would mess it up and end up ordering more. Lol!
Adorable. Woud love to try the basket
The bunny collage is so adorable. The shadow boxes are a great way to display my childhood Easter chenilles!
I would make a similar box or an altered tin or both!
The bunny shadow box is adorable. And the giveaway absolutely incredible. I would definitely do something similar and would have no problem cutting down the basket, I do things like that all the time to make things fit not my miniature scenes.
I have a splendid real bunny named Flora. I would make an Easter Flora box searching out or making a black bunny as that’s the color of Flora. It would be a wonderful decoration for all the family who loves Flora!
Oh I love anything with bunnies. Love the basket idea.Thank you!!!
Everything about the box is adorable, from the wallpaper to the feet. The pins/stands are a great idea. I wouldn’t be afraid to alter the baskets-taking risks is part of crafting!
Love everything about this! IT would be fun to make something like it!
Would love to try my hand at recreating Kristen’s shadowbox.
What a thrill to win! Thank you so much! I love making altered boxes. I would not have a problem cutting the basket to fit.
A spring shadow box to remind me that spring really is on its way…how easy it would be to add the Tim Holtz frames to picture it:)
I would make more Easter things. The ducks are adorable!
I really like the bunny box! I’m up for trying new things so cutting a basket would be something I’d try!
This is adorable. I would definitely do a bunny going on an egg hunt scene inside. I’ve wanted to do something similar for a while, but hadn’t found a container I liked. The cut-out lids are perfect.
Love that bunnies box! I am brave enough to trim a basket!
I am giddy with delight thinking about what I can make using these awesome goodies.
I would definitely be making a little boxout of them with lots of fairies and gnomes addedi for extra adorability!
After being super sick with the flu and other side effects from it, I am feeling like I might be able to get into my craft oasis for a few minutes a day so I can get back to doing what I LOVE, which is CRAFTING!
Thank you for the chance to win this amazing giveaway! It is just what my doctor ordered! LOL
I love the bunny shadow box !! I love to cut stuff up !!!
Love the shadow box. I’d use it to make a diorama.

Love the bunny box! Would probably make something similar. Not sure I’d want to cut up the little basket–would be so cute to decorate that on its own.
The bunny shadow box is adorable! Would love to make my own version. Thanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway.
I would make a similiar easter scene and love the basket technique. I love the framing detail around the egg. I would also add lots of flocking and fuzzy elements to the project!
Have cut things before to fit so it wouldn’t be a problem. Love the carrot detail.
I would definitely do a basket. I adore this rendition of Easter Kristen made.
I would definitely would do a bunny scene., as I love bunnies! I would make any adjustments to make the adorable basket fit, or just decorate it as is!
