A Trio of Easter Treats

These sweet, little chocolate bunny treat holders, CASED from fellow demonstrator Melanie Igelbrink, make the perfect last minute Easter gift.

Craft with Beth: Chocolate Lindt Bunny Lamb Duck Chick Treat Holder Scalloped Tag Topper Punch template

First, cut a 2-3/16" by 5-3/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Stamp the entire piece with the honeycomb stamp from the Butterfly Basics stamp set in the color of your choice. Here I used Pink Pirouette, Daffodil Delight, and Pool Party ink. Stamping the background now will make a solidly stamped background without gaps from the score lines.

Then, using your Stampin' Trimmer, score at 2-15/16", 3-15/16", 4-5/16", and 5-5/16".

Then stamp the fern and flower stamps three times. I used Old Olive and Melon Mambo ink, respectively. I stamped these images after scoring, so I could place them more precisely.

Next punch the end closest to the 2-15/16" score line with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. This area will become the treat holder backing.

Place the smallest Layering Oval Framelit between the 4-5/16" and the 5-5/16" score lines and run it through the Big Shot. This will create the little niche for the bunny to sit.

Flip the treat holder to the back side. Stamp Happy Easter upside down between the 3-15/16" and the 4-5/16" score lines.

Burnish all score lines. Add Teat & Tape or strong liquid glue to the back of the rectangle area below the 5-5/16" score line. Fold the score lines upwards, bring them back toward the treat holder backing, and adhere the 5-5/16" score line rectangle area to the 2-15/16" score line, as below in the photograph.


Place a glue dot in the center of the top scallop on the front and on the back. Cut a 6" length of ribbon, fold in half, and thread through the hole at the top of the tag.

Press the ribbon against the tag to secure in place. Tie a Whisper White baker's twine bow around the ribbon for added decoration.

Add a few glue dots to the bottom of your chocolate bunny and place inside the little niche.

Add a Melon Mabo flower and a rhinestone next to your bunny. The flower I used is retired, but the flower from the Tree Builder punch is an excellent substitution.

Your Easter treat is ready for giving! What a cutie! I hope you give this adorable treat holder a try! I would love to see what you make!

Thanks for stopping by!
