Earrings in a cake box!

Here’s another Easter gift I made. This time I dusted off my Cricut Expression and cut out a 10” cake box. I seriously need to give my Cricut machine some love more often because it makes crafting so much easier! For this project I used beautiful ODBD Easter Blessings set and the colors for the current Color Dare (CD61) and for the Cuttlebug Challenge (Be Inspired #74 Easter project):

ODBD 065

ODBD 063 ODBD 064

The earrings are little turtles and I thought they would be perfect for our niece. We’re giving our nieces earrings this year so I have two more cake boxes to do :).

I know I promised ODBD April sneak peeks today, but I’m running a little behind. Stop by my fellow Breadsticks’ blogs since several are offering sneak peeks! I’ll have mine up tomorrow so be on the look out!

Thank you to my new Followers! If you aren’t a Follower yet, please become one as I will be giving away some awesome candy for my blogoversary in May. I have a countdown widget on the left so you’ll know when it’s time :).
