Lawn Fawn Scalloped Easter Treat Box and Sue Wilson Easter card

 

Hello and welcome to the new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.

This time we are looking for projects for any occasion and although I'm a little late with this, I wanted to share my Easter makes with you.

For my Easter card, I used the Bright Rosa Elongated Hexagon dies to create my card base and layers. I stamped the background with the My Favorite Things Balloon Strings stamp.

The other elements on the card were made with 2 Sue Wilson Easter die sets. The little chick comes facing to the right but I cut another, turned it over, and used a ball tool around the edge before adding the features so it could face the other way.

You've seen my Lawn Fawn Scalloped Treat Box before for Halloween and for a New Home gift, so as I have to find plenty of use for it, here it is again as an Easter gift box with some little eggs inside. They were place setting decorations for Easter Sunday lunch so everyone could take one home.

I had quite an assembly line going with all those little die cuts that I cut in white and coloured with alcohol markers. A very relaxing way to spend a couple of hours!

What occasion will you go for? You'll find lots of inspiration over on the blog and I hope to see you in the gallery.

I'd like to play along at

Reverse Confetti Easter packages

 Hello everyone.

I hope you had a lovely Easter, and still have lots of chocolate goodies in your stash. Here are a few little gift packages I made up using the Reverse Confetti Box Dies and Layered Bow dies, along with some papers from my supplies.

These gift bags are also from Reverse Confetti and they are ideal for holding small gifts. I managed to get a surprising amount of chocolate into each one!

The tag die also comes in the set, and on this one, because children love to see something just for them, I added the recipient's name in glitter stickers left over from my scrapbooking days.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Snowman with Snowballs card

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful Easter holiday, and had enough chocolate to satisfy your sweet tooth. We had a lovely peaceful weekend spent mostly with family and friends, and the weather was gorgeous, so I feel that spring has well and truly sprung at last. I enjoyed using my Silhouette Cameo for my last card, so I turned to it again to make some table favours for our family Easter Dinner

I embossed some glassine bags with an embossing folder and used a file from the Silhouette store and lots of snippets of card and paper to make the bag toppers. Some of the card ( on the chick, the grass, and the word) looked a bit stark, so I used background stamps to give them a little 'texture'.

Inside were some chocolate chip cookies, dipped in yet more chocolate, along with a little chocolate bunny.


Anyway, for my card today we are going forward to Christmas for the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge

We have reached week 16 already and this time the theme is Snowmen/Snowballs, and there is a prize from our sponsor 2 Cute Ink up for grabs. Here is my card

I took some textured navy card and used texture paste, some glitter and a stencil to add a snowy background. The snowman was stamped, embossed, coloured  and cut out, before I attached him to the panel with foam pads next to a pile of snowballs. Finally, I made a sentiment panel and added it to the top of the card. This cheerful scribble snowman is my favourite snowman of all time, and I can just imagine him throwing all those snowballs when my back is turned!

Easter treat bags

Hello everyone,

I just popped on to wish you all a very happy Easter. It is also my youngest son's birthday this week so we are having a double celebration tonight and I'm busy in the kitchen cooking up a storm.

I made a few choccie treat bags to go on the table and used Melissa Bickford's cute little bunny stamps 'Polka Dot Parade' to decorate some bag toppers I cut on my Silhouette Cameo.

I used the grass from PTI Hanging Out, stamped a sun using Background Basics Polka Dots,chalked on some sky, and added little pompom bunny tails.

Such cuteness!!!

Have a great day and remember that it is a well known fact that Easter chocolate has no calories.

Enjoy the day.

Hugs
