Welcome Easter Treats Trio & Tutorial

And so rounding off the trio of goody containing Welcome Easter treat holders ...

With Larry the Lamb... stamped in Memento Black on Whisper White... coloured in with Light Gray Granite and Dark Balmy Blue Stampin Blends... and fussy cut...

Scroll back 2 days for specific details on Bertie Bunny and Charlie Chick...

All just 2 tags stuck either side of a Mini Curvy Keepsakes box... as you can see on the shot below... Scripty embossed Balmy Blue Tags 5cm(2") wide x 9.9cm(4") high... with a Granny Apple Green hill hand cut from a 5cm (2") square piece of Subtle embossed card

Though note that I die cut a Balmy Blue Mini Curvy Keepsake box here...

But all the makes in classes have been Granny Apple Green Mini Curvy Keepsakes boxes... as that represented a hill better....

Also note that I used Bakers Twine to hold the box closed... but all my ladies chose to use the "random" peg I happened to have... much much quicker that way!

And finally finished off with a "single twist/knot" of ribbon... as tying a proper knot would prevent you getting in without destruction! So only about 3" worth per treat holder...

Embossing folders - Scripty; Subtle

Charlie Chick Easter Treat Holder...

Second one in the Welcome Easter series...  Charlie Chick for you today... leaping for joy!

Back soon with more details.... but Charlie is stamped in Crushed Curry on Daffodil Delight cardstock... and coloured in using the Dark Mango Melody Stampin Blend... and then fussy cut...

Easter Treats for Jems March Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Jems Team Blog Hop from Amanda Bates at The Craft Spa...

Officially the theme is anything for Spring or Easter... but for me it had to be something for a treat with chocolate in! Caramel chocolate of course! Though any of the small easter egg treats would fit...

And a re-visit of a Craft Spa Scalloped Tag Topper Punch classic for you... just click here for the Tutorial... for Charlie Chick! (as the lovely Doreen nicknamed him)

With a very simple update for 2018... as somewhat unusually... everything is still current for my little Easter treat project... apart from the Wide Oval Punch... though we now have the Layering Ovals or Stitched Shapes dies to do the same job...

So just an update to the greeting really... Crushed Curry HAPPY from Perennial Birthday... plus Pumpkin Pie EASTER from Teeny Tiny Sentiments (aka Teeny Tiny Wishes for those of you in the US) ... both partial greetings...so simply marker inked as required...

And of course... containing a Caramel Egg instead of a Creme Egg... so DS will be happy!

And I have to laugh... as it is amazing how many characters Charlie Chick takes on depending on the angle of the camera lens... particularly as I am looking at about 15 photos...

Some look more feminine... some more masculine... some more cheeky... some more aloof...

Kind of like an e-Moji on chocolate ... Reckon I will now call him e-Chicki!! Now there would be an idea if only I had more hours in the day!!

And now it is time to say Happy Easter & Goodbye from me... and Hello & Springtime Welcome to the lovely Uma... just click on the arrow below to go straight to her Springtime post...
