I have a retired die from SU! that makes these little boxes, and I made 2 of them for our neighbors. They're going to be filled with those wonderful little almond-flavored Italian rainbow cookie bites for a sweet Easter treat. Chocolate for him and white chocolate for her. I decorated the side panels using square and scalloped punches, adding die-cut bunnies from GMD to the blue and SU! die-cut blooming heart flowers to the pink. The tops were decorated with die-cut sentiments and eggs, using mirror silver and gold to make the crosses. Once they're filled, they'll be tied up with some pretty ribbon.
Next I made a couple Easter baskets and filled them with candies. These 2 larger ones are filled with chocolates and decorated with Lil Inker die-cut bunnies and an Echo Park die-cut Easter sentiment, with the smaller sentiment being cut from a sheet of SSS pre-printed sentiments. I'll tie some pretty ribbon around these too before handing out.
Last but not least, I made 24 smaller baskets with a small sampling shown here. I used assorted dies, punches and pre-printed sentiments and I was able to use a lot of snippets to put these together. I tied them all with some bits of twine.
I do enjoy making things like this but what I love the most is seeing the faces of people when I hand them out randomly. I always put one in the mailbox the day before Easter and put the flag up so the mail carrier gets one too.
Thanks for stopping by and make it a wonderful day whatever you do.

These are all so fabulous, you are so kind!
Oh, what awesome and sweet treat boxes, so cute!! How kind and thoughtful you are to make so many to hand out to people!!
Fabulous Carol, all of them so special, especially to the recipients. I took a leaf out of your book and gave a few to waitresses where my ex work colleagues and I went for a meal this week. They were over the moon, so I know what your recipients will be like and yours are bigger and hold more than mine! Super work.

Love that little bunny and you are going to make some bunny very happy with your generous giving!!! Happy Easter crafty friend!!
These are all so cute Carol! I still have the cute little basket you made for me. It's sitting in my craft room!
Carol, you are just so dang sweet my friend!!! I love all your treat boxes and baskets!!! I can imagine how special everyone who gets one feels and I love that you make them feel special by doing this. I will have to take a cue from you and start putting something in the mailbox for the postal carrier. I think I need to move into your neighborhood! lol Love that you do this! Big hugs, Brenda
Wonderful boxes. I am a huge fan of hexagon and octagon shapes, so melt for these charming creations all the more - just as I'm sure those lucky folks who receive one melted as well.
