Treat Holder

I love this Easter Blossoms stamp set by SU, it's so versatile. I used some retired Groovy Guava textured cardstock and stitched ribbon. The "box" piece is a 12" x 4 1/4" length of cardstock scored at 5" on both ends. Stamp whatever you like on the Top Note die piece and score about a half inch away from center point of die to create box top. There is a hole in the center where the ribbon comes up and out to be tied. This is an easy basic box pattern design from the Stampin' Success magazine. The cello treat bag can be easily inserted in through the side when you are ready.

Everybunny

All supplies are Stampin' Up: Everybunny stamp set, Daffodil and white cardstocks, embossing folder and new doily die, white taffeta ribbon.

Everybunny

I love this spring Everybunny set that I just got from SU. Flirtatious paper on a Melon Mambo base.

Envelope Card

For today's colors of Crumb Cake, Vanilla, and Concord Crush and for the teapot Tuesday tulip challenge. I like this card fold that closes to form it's own envelope. Stamp by Great Impressions, Lattice Square, buttons, and cardstocks by Stampin' Up.
I couldn't find my linen thread so I used the new baker's twine and colored it with a Crumb Cake marker.

Easter ideas

Here are a couple of older Easter projects that I really had fun making. I found a bunny shape pattern on the Internet and adapted it to make a card(fold is on the side), and the second one I made to look like a chocolate egg. I made another with a decorated chocolate egg but can't seem to find it. I'll keep looking and post when I do, it was my favorite Easter card ever!

Challenge Combinations

The Three Amigas are having another virtual stamping challenge and you are welcome to join us. Julie would like you to use something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.
Sharon challenged us to make a quilted card, the how to can be found in the Splitcoast Resources tutorial section.My challenge is to make an Easter treat holder of any kind. I will get my samples up as soon as I can. I think my "borrowed" item for this card was time. I was supposed to be painting the Rec Room but made a card instead.
This is also for today's challenge to use flowers and for this week's sketch.
All supplies are Stampin' Up: Greenhouse Gala paper with Baja, Saffron, and Soft Suede cardstocks, half pearls, Boho Blossoms punch, markers and pastels, Baja seam binding ribbon.

Springtime Smiles

Some spring chickies to brighten your day. I think the stamp may be from Penny Black, colored in Copic markers with SU Easter Blossoms set and their Springtime Vintage paper and Baja seam binding ribbon.
For today's color challenge of Marina Mist, Baja, and Celery and the Mojo Monday sketch.

Baskets and Bunnies

I used this adorable Stampendous clear Easter Basket set that I came across in the clearance area of the craft store. Resistance was futile.
Colored the basket and bunny in Copic markers, Scallop Circle frame SU Sizzix die, More Mustard and Whisper White cardstocks.

Chocolate Bunny

For our chocolate bunny teapot inspiration I traced a bunny from the internet and made it into an A2 size card (fold is at tail).
Embossed bunny with Bella Toile in Chocolate Craft ink on Chocolate Chip cardstock. Very easy!

A Good Egg

I couldn't resist this chick stamp when we went to the mall last night, it really made me smile! Chick stamp by Lockhart, Just Vine and sentiment (A Good Egg) by SU, cherry blossom stamp by Impress. River Rock, regal Rose, and Whisper White cardstock by SU.
I was inspired by the second picture from the Thymes website.
I also added some yellow Fun Flock to the chick and Crystal Effects to the egg.

A Good Egg

I made my own "designer paper" by stamping the images from The Good Egg set by SU and coloring them in on the white panel and embossing them in white on the pink panel. The background paper is Flannel Plaid background with the circles stamped over top of that design. Mojo Monday sketch layout used.

Chocolate Bunny and Egg

My favorite part of the Easter basket was always the beautifully decorated coconut egg (sometimes we got our names on them). I tried to recreate that with the big oval in Chocolate Chip, emnbossed with the Forever Flowers wheel in white. Paper is Tea Party and Bella Bleu, cardstock is Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, and Creamy Caramel for the bunny. Bunny was embossed with Chocolate craft ink and clear powder. New Martha Stewart border punch and white rick rack non SU. Sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
All supplies except for MS punch and trim are Stampin' Up.

Sweet Treat Carrot

I was throwing away the packaging from my Tombo adhesive refill and noticed that the plastic looked a little like a carrot. Hmm...I made a sweet treat cup out of this and filled it with Reese's Pieces and added some Olive polytwill ribbon for top. The white cardstock was run through the Big Shot using the SU Eyelet Texturz plate after having been stamped with the retired Spring Gifts bunny and a sentiment. Matted to Only Orange and Old Olive card base.

Free Standing Pop Up Card

All supplies are Stampin' Up.
I was still in a daffodil mood when I made this card. I spent the morning planting some daffodils, primrose, lavender, and tulips. What fun to get back in the garden again!
The image and sentiment are from the new Abundant Hope set colored in markers. The Celery base was wheeled with Old Olive ink and the It's Beautiful wheel. I highlighted certain areas with the white gel pen, added some lovely olive satin ribbon that is currently available in the Occasions mini and made some flowers using the Sizzlits Birds & Blooms die in Summer Sun and Only Orange with a More Mustard brad center.

The Gifts Of Spring Bunnies

This is a case of Angella Crockett's card, today's Featured Stamper on Splitcoast. I kept the layout and colors but changed everything else.
Gifts Of Spring rabbits stamped in black on Kraft cardstock. I colored them in with the white gel pen and some Souffle gel gens for the noses, grass, and butterflies. I shaded various areas with Pebbles, Inc. pearlescent chalks which are so pretty and shimmery in real life. I love chalks for adding additional color and blending.
The background was made with one of the stamps from the Sprinkles set (a Saleabration choice and one I love), also used the white gel pen to highlight. Sentiment is from the new Abundant Hope on Kraft from a Cuttlebug tag die and the SU oval in black. White organza ribbon secures the tag sentiment.

The Gifts Of Spring

I love this retired Stampin' Up Easter sets, it is a classic keeper! I embossed the bunnies in silver on white and backed with Brushed Silver cardstock. Fleur de lis Nestabilities dies (2) layered behind image and card embossed with SU Elegant Bouquet folder. White half pearls and taffeta ribbons added to accent.

Sweet Treat Bunny

I used the Sizzix snowman die for the bunny and added some ears using the small oval punch. Body is filled with York peppermint Pieces.
Welcome Neighbor designer paper pack with Apricot and Pumpkin Pie, apricot grosgrain and white satin ribbon, medium and scallop oval are all by Stampin' Up. Sentiment is from Great Impressions.

Spring Peeps

A dual challenge card of colors (Pale and Perfect Plum and Soft Suede)with this Tuesday's Teapot challenge of Mardi Gras (second picture). I was inspired by the pastel colored rhinestones around the mask and went from there.
Card base is Perfect Plum with some retired SU paper, don't know the name but is was a match to the Carte Postale stamp set. Very Vanilla ribbon, Sizzix scallop circle die and eyelet border punch with Recollections pastel pearls (non SU).

Flower For All Seasons

This is a matchbook treat holder for Easter. Doodle wheel embossed in white on Banana cardstock with a More Mustard frame, Flower For All seasons stamp set. the image was colored in markers and neutrals brads were used to hold cover closed. Supplies are Stampin' Up.
