HAPPY EASTER!

I made this cute little basket with the French Fry Box Bigz L Die, and various punches, including the Bow Builder Punch in the Occasions Catalog!

EGGSTRA SPECTACULAR EASTER TREAT BOX!

You guessed it, another goody Keri and I made at our Creative Escape Weekend!

This is a 2,4,6,8 box.  That means you cut your cardstock to 5 1/2" x 81/2".  Then you score the long side a 2", 4", 6" and 8".  Score your short side at 2" and then you just cut up all four of your score lines on the long side to the one score line on the short side.  In other words hold your card stock with the 8 1/2" side horizontal and the 2" score line at the bottom closest to you.  Cut your 2" vertical score line up to the 2" horizontal score line; then cut your 4" vertical score line up to the 2" horizontal score line; then cut your 6" vertical score line up to the 2" horizontal score line and cut your 8" vertical score line up to the 2" horizontal score line.  Fold the parts you have just cut on top of one another to form the bottom of the box.  And you can decorate however you like.  This would make  a great box for a birthday treat or (for those friends always watching their weight) you could use some of the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper for the box and then stuff it with a little shredded paper and stand a balloon on a stick inside.  A box for a sick friend with tissue and lozenges....  the creative possibilities are endless and it is super easy to make!
I decorated my box for a little Easter Treat, and I used the EggStra Spectacular Stampin' Up! Stamp Set, which is available in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  You can order it at my Stampin' Up! store 24/7 with the link below.

EVEN MORE EASTER TREATS!

I saw this cute little jar decorated with a bunny on the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Website, and I decided this would be a great way to use up the rest of my Easter candies. If you can't tell, I am trying to do anything I can with them, other than popping them into my mouth and watching my hips expand! This is so much cuter (atleast I think so).

MIXED BUNCH CHOCOLATE TREAT!

I believe the original creator of this cute little treat was fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Sara Willis (atleast that is where I saw it first). I just thought it was the cutest quick little treat, that I had to make some. For some reason when I decorate chocolate, I find I am much less likely to eat it!

For these adorable little treats I used the Mixed Bunch Stampin' Up! Stamp Set and the coordinating Stampin' Up! Blossom Punch. Both of these items are available in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.

BRENDA'S EGG HOLDERS!

I just love it when my talented customers share their creations with me! These are some egg holders my customer, Brenda, shared with me. They are so lovely.

The original post with these egg holders can be found HERE!

EVERYBUNNY LOVES EASTER!

"That Michelle" is spoiling me with her awesome creations once again! I just love this bright and cheery Easter card she made.

For her card That Michelle uses lots of great Stampin' Up! products. But a few of my favorites are the Silver Shimmer paper she put through her Big Shot using the Paper Doily Large Sizzlits Die (available in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog), which is so beautiful. And I LOVE her focal point image, which is an image that comes from the Stampin' Up! Stamp Set called Everybunny. This stamp set has some great images that are definite must-have items for your Easter cards. Here's a picture of the stamps in the stamp set.

A DIFFERENT EGG TREAT HOLDER!

I saw this little plastic egg stand, and I had to make it. I have no idea who the originator was, but if you made it originally, please let me know, as I would love to give you credit.

This little stand was so easy to make with my Big Shot and a few punches! I used the Bitty Box And Envelope Bigs XL Die for the Big Shot as my "stand". The Beautiful Wings Embosslits for the Big Shot made the cute little butterflies. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched with the Word Window Punch and layered onto a piece of card stock that was punched with the Modern Label Punch. With all the great tools Stampin' Up! offers, this was a very quick and easy project! I even stuffed my egg with a couple Reeses. We'll be making this project at my First Friday Club tonight, and I am hoping it is a hit with the ladies.

These little chocolate egg stands were so much fun to make, that I had to make a couple more. I think they are just the cutest things!

EASTER EGG CANDY HOLDER!

Isn't this just the coolest way to display your favorite chocolate egg? I have been dieting, and keeping the candy in this pretty box is a sure way to keep me from poppin' it in my mouth!

I got the pattern for this little project from Kim Score~~she rules the punch world in my book. AND her pattern is FREE. I made a couple tiny little changes and used some Twitterpated Designer Series Paper, and I added a little ribbon on the top of my box (instead of her beautiful bow). I decided to go with the little ribbon, so that you can just grab hold of the ribbon and pull the top off.

Thanks, Kim, for the awesome pattern!

EASTER BLESSINGS!

Here are two variations of an Easter card I made.




For both of these cards I used the Tulip Frame Embossing Folder for the Big Shot (available in the Occasions Mini Catalog, #121809 for $7.95) and the Easter Blessings stamp set, also available in the Occasions Mini Catalog (wood-mount #121905 for $25.95; or clear-mount #122057 for $18.95).

SCALLOP TRIM CORNER PUNCH!

One of our Demo Night ladies is away in Florida for the winter, and we were missing her, so we "skyped" her in to stamp with us at our last get together. She mailed her card supplies early, so we all put her card together while she walked us through it. It was great fun to see her again!

This is the card Nancy shared with us. She showed us how to use the Scallop Trim Corner Punch and leave a little "trim" around the edges. We also used the new Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch and layered the Cherry Blossom Big Shot Embosslits Die flowers on top of it. We added the little branch from the Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch and a little trim with the Scallop Border Punch. The Happy Easter sentiment is from Well Scripted.

You can find the Scallop Trim Corner Punch, Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch, Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch and Well Scripted goodies in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

The Scallop Border Punch is available until the end of March for FREE in the Sale-A-Bration Mini Catalog.

The Cherry Blossom Embosslits Die is in the big Idea Book and Catalog on page 195. It is really cute layered on top of the Extra Large Fancy Flower Punch!

A GOOD EGG!

This is a swap card I got in London, ON, but there was no name on it. I'm sad I can't give credit to the person who created this great Easter card, but I'm glad you swapped with me! I think this is the cutest little Easter set.

FIFTH AVENUE FLORAL FOR EASTER!

I love the lily in the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. This is a swap card from Lisa Rouillier. It is difficult to see in the photo, but she used glitter on the lilly, and it is truly beautiful!
