Easter is right around the corner. It is time to get my pastel on and create a few Easter decorations. First up is to replace my “Kiss Me, I’m Irish Board,” with a new Easter one.
Introducing…my Bunny Hershey Kisses board! {Squuuueal!}
Are the bunny faces not the cutest thing you have ever seen? In case you missed it those are inverted Hershey Kisses with a bunny face on it.
Supplies:
Hershey Kisses (Spring colors)
Patterned Paper (I used American Crafts Hello Sunshine line)
White cardstock
White vinyl
Hot Pink Vinyl
Glue Dots
12” x 12” MDF board (1/2”)
5/8” drill bit
electric drill
spray primer
Pink Spray paint
Silhouette Machine
Transfer Tape for Vinyl

Mod Podge
Foam Brush
Pencil
Ruler
1. Mark off every one inch from left to right for the holes. I did two rows of them so there are 22 kisses. I would recommend doing a few less than that. The ears look a little close together for me.
2. Drill your holes using a 5/8” drill bit that looks like this…
3. Spray prime and paint the board. I used Krylon spray paint in Satin Ballet Slipper.
3. Next print out the bunny ears and faces (on white cardstock) and then send it through the Silhouette to cut the circles and ears out. Also cut out “kisses” on patterned paper. I also cut 1/2” strips to cover the sides. Then Mod Podge (I used gloss) them all in place with a foam brush. After it is dry, seal it with a coat of the Mod Podge.
4. Cut out and adhere the “bunny” and “Happy Easter” vinyl. Add the little faces onto the Hershey kisses with glue dots and stick them into the drilled holes.
Try your darnedest to see if the kisses will last for one week in your house. Doubt they will.

Aww! The little bunny kisses are too too cute! What an adorable project! Great job! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Who knew Hershey Kisses could be functional as well as delicious? Very very cute, Beckie! PS I think the ears look just fine ;)…
What a clever idea. And so well done. I’m totaly in love.
Have a great week.
Love this idea! So cute! I don’t know how long they’d last, but I know the kids would love this. Thanks for sharing.
Okay Beckie, that is seriously too cute!!! Love, love it!!!
That’s just darling! A kiss a day like an advent calendar. Nice idea, but the only way that would work at my house is if we had an extra bag or two on hand to keep from attacking the board.
I think this one is my favorite one yet, Beckie!!! Too much cuteness. 🙂 Love those little bunny ears. 🙂
Ahhh, I can’t take it. Your ideas are out-of-this-world cute! I’m too lazy to learn how to use a silhouette machine but I daydream about it a lot!!!!! It’s so funny how these arts & crafts make me want to start a family just so I can have this create outlet with them. You are so talented – thanks for sharing!
too cute! thanks for sharing 🙂
Awww thanks Tina. You can always buy the Silhouette machine and bum the files off me so you don’t have to learn.
once again, you’ve outdone yourself.
Was there a place to get the ear and face patterns to print? This is great!
This is TOO cute!!!!
Yes at the top of the screen in my menu bar under “Silhoeutte files”
Do you sell these?
Please send me an email if you do heather.b.tack@gmail.com
When I went to your silhouette files to download-I wasn’t able to download it, I do not have a machine but would still love the bunny faces & ears pattern. Is there any way that you can email me a copy of them?
I tried to click here for all the bunny board files and it won’t let me. Someone said you had them in your silhouette file. I am so new at this that I don’t know where to find that. ANY HELP? THANK YOU. These are precious.
At the top of my page on my menu bar there is something that says SIlhouette files. if you click on there you should be able to download it.
I just figured out a way to do that. I will upload them soon. Stay tuned and i will announce it.
SO STINKEN ROTTEN CUTE! love it!!! WINKS- jen
thanks Jen. Did you have your party yet?

I love this and have it all ready to go with the exception of the bunny faces and ears. I print them on my printer then when I run them thru the Silhouette the shapes are cut but not anywhere near the correct printed areas…help what am I doing wrong?
Are you having the Silhouette machine look for the registration mark settings? You need to make sure it prints the registration marks on it and then when you run it through the Silhouette that you make it search registration marks first.
I absolutely love this board. I didn’t get to make one this year – but next year, i’ll be all over it!! thanks for sharing!
This is so cute! Hope it’s okay to share your idea (linked back here) on my blog. http://karenscraps.blogspot.com/ Thanks for the inspiration.
This is awesome, hope to see you at My Dream Canvas.
I love your kiss boards! I saw the vday one too. I have these photo’s in my inspiration folder =) I hope you can stop by and link this up to my VIP party today! http://designergarden.blogspot.com/2011/04/vip-party-11.html
I wish these templates for the bottoms for the kisses were still available… I would love all the templates for Valentines, St. Patrick’sm Easter, and Halloween.
Check here…https://www.infarrantlycreative.net/2011/06/free-downloads.html I need to fix the link apparently.
Can you not use these files if you don’t have the machine?
