Interactive Bandstand Card Using the Easter Basket Bundle

The Easter Basket Bundle and Easter Joy Suite were perfect for creating a bandstand card, which was my final project for my Vacation Stamping School demonstration. It was so much fun creating these 3-D bandstand cards!

The Easter basket die works beautifully for the front of the bandstand because its size spans the distance between the top and bottom pieces. As you can see, I also made a version using a circle die, which gives a different but equally fun look.

Tip: Adding an Easter Bunny in the basket helps provide extra stability to the front of the card because you can glue the bunny ear to the top with the basket handle. 

You can add as much—or as little—detail to the back of the bandstand as you’d like. If you want room for a message, simply add an extra panel.

For even more interest, try placing a battery-operated light inside the bandstand—it really makes the card come to life!

This wraps up my final post featuring the Easter Basket Bundle. If you missed the earlier Easter Basket Bundle projects, you can find them all here.

Boxes, Baskets, Treat Containers… Oh My!

This is my third post featuring the Easter Joy Suite, and I’m still not done sharing all the fun projects you can create with it! After showing the versatility of this suite with baby cards and spring cards, I moved on to one of my favorite things to make—treat containers. Because really… who doesn’t love a cute little box or basket for the holidays?

Sour Cream Container Carrot

I started with an old favorite—the sour cream container—and turned it into this adorable carrot-shaped treat holder. I used Pleasant Patterns 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper, which worked perfectly for this project. It’s just the right size for jellybeans or a small Easter treat.

To make a sour cream container:

• Roll a 4¼" x 5½" piece of cardstock into a tube

• Seal the ends with Tear & Tape, going in opposite directions

• Tuck a piece of green cardstock into the top and snip strips to create a cute carrot top

Simple, fun, and always a crowd favorite!

DIY Easter Basket Box

If you’ve looked closely at the mini catalog, you may have noticed a basket/box shown with this suite—but it felt a little too skinny for what I had in mind. So, I decided to design my own box, making it as roomy as possible for Easter treats.

I created a custom box and added baskets to the front and back for extra detail. Now I’m ready to fill these sweet little baskets with goodies for the kids on Easter morning!

Monogrammed Treat Boxes

Another fun option—especially if you want the DSP to really shine—is these monogrammed treat boxes. You can make them in almost any size, and the Party Alphabet Dies make it easy to personalize them for someone special. These are perfect for gifting a small treat with a big impact.

Windowed Boxes (Because I Wasn’t Done Yet!)

After finishing the monogrammed boxes, I still had my window sheets out… so I kept going! I used the basket die to create a fun window detail and made a box with the lid attached.

Once the window sheet is attached to the inside, you can decorate the top just like the monogrammed boxes. I designed two sizes:

• One snug and adorable (a tight fit for the basket)

• One slightly larger, making assembly easier—and leaving room for more treats!

This suite just keeps on giving, and I still have more ideas to share. Stay tuned—because I’m not done yet! 💛
