Vintage Easter Box Ornament ~ Double D Challenges

The Easter season is upon and my friends at Double D Challenge want to help inspire you.  There's a new challenge starting today and the theme is "Easter".

My make for this challenge was this sweet, vintage inspired Easter box ornament, using lots of found goodies in my craft room.  I didn't use any new supplies to make this, as I've made several of these in the past.  

I've used the Passport Book BIGZ die from Sizzix to make the box ornament.  Unfortunately this die has been retired for quite some time but it's still one of my favorite dies.  I covered the outside of the box with a soft blue scrapbook paper and added some flower rub-ons from Stamperia.  The  flowers came from Hobby Lobby and the bunny is a die cut from Frantic Stamper.  The Easter banner is cut from a retired Graphic 45 paper pad.

Inside the box, you'll find this sweet image that was also cut from the Graphic 45 paper pad, along with a die cut chick from Dies R Us as well as a couple of sparkly Easter eggs from Michael's Craft Store.  I lined the inside bottom of the box with craft moss to give all the elements a place to sit.


You can check out the other ornament boxes I've made in the past:

How pretty and sweet this is, Birgit, and you put it together with such creativity! I have lots of retired things I still love to use. Something like this does not lose its appeal. I'm going to go check out your other ornaments now. I know I'll love them, too!

Another Vintage original by Birgit! Always a pleasure to witness your creations, my friend! That little man's bouquet of lilacs has me remembering it's about time I got out that stamp set again! Thanks for sharing, my friend!

Well how adorable. Fabulous that you made a box ornament, and it looks like it was so much fun to do. I love the shabby chic, vintage-y look, so beautiful.

Vicki said...

Beautiful vintage design, Birgit! I love this box and how you've added the rub ons to embellish it. The chick and eggs go well with the background image. Great Easter shadow box decor. So lovely, my friend!

Oh Birgit I absolutely LOVE this!! I looked at all the others you made too and then remembered them when I saw them again and loved them ALL!! What a great die to have and keep, they need to re-release it as I am sure it would be a big hit once again. A fabulous way to use those G45 papers too!
