Mini Egg Carton... Easter Pig!

Before I start for today... please don't miss the news about the third release of promotional Sale A Bration items... scroll down or click here....

We had such fun with our Mini Egg Cartons in classes last week...

Take a cow... add a class of ladies in a creative mode... and up pops a cute little pig! Amongst other things!!
I adore the pig that Heidi came up with... though I was particularly happy to have the Sprinkles Punch on hand to create that curly tail.... eureka moment!!!
And you will have to wait to see what else we came up with.... but maybe some clues here....

Mini Egg Carton - Moo on Monday!

Following on from the Easter Chick and the Easter Bunny... I then moved onto a cow!

I can hear some of you asking... why a cow!? Probably something to do with the fact that Milka Chocolate is probably my favourite chocolate - especially those very big bars I used to bring back from many a French ski holiday!!

And when you have seen a "purple cow" skiing (and handing out chocolate... to kids!!! Cough!) around the French Alps during the Easter holidays... then it all becomes a logical choice... though I couldn't go the whole way and actually make my cow purple... maybe next year!
Ano hey...guess what! The cow was the most popular make here for Easter!!! But I forgot to take the photo of the herd!!!

The Bear, the In Colours and the Wardrobe - and a Blog Hop!!

Can't believe how quickly it has come round to the Monthly Jems Team blog hop! And this month we are showcasing the new In Colours...
So I have already introduced you to the new In Colours quite a bit by sharing the projects I made (so secretly!) back in April for On Stage, Telford... All of these new colours are fabulous... even the ones I first didn't like!!... and each and every one has a place in the SU colour range ... so you do need every one... they are truly a great collection to have...


But I could not put my brand new favourite furry friend, Baby Bear down!!!  I having been having a lot of fun.... when you have a daft idea ... some days you just have to run with it...

Nor could I stop making my new favourite Square Pop Up Z Fold card format.... which I re-sized for today... Nor could I not use the Designer Series papers which only about 80 demos in the world have as of today!!! Monday being another matter.... 10s of 1000s will have them....

So without further ado let me introduce you to my new In Colour furry friends.... who have been playing dress up!
First we have Dapper Bear in Denim... all dressed up in his dapper bow tie and waistcoat (care of the Owl Punch)
Then we have the very Flirty Baby in Flamingo ... she is such a tease!! With a beautiful bow in her hair and her lovely baby bib (also care of the Owl Punch) Spot the decorated papers too....
Now it is time for our Emerald hugging Envy Bear... well I am envious of an emerald that big!!! (from Playful Pals)
Next up is Sweet Sugarplum Bear... adorned with her pretty bow and sweet candy necklace (do you remember those!!!? My baby sitter always used to bring is those as kids.... ) Again spot the coloured flowers on the paper too....
And last but not least... though he got lost on the way as he obviously he can't see!!!! Yes it is is Peekaboo Bear in Peach... with his shiny John Lennon glasses (care of Fine Tip glue & Playful Pals).... and he also has a shiny nose (though that won't be repeated! I have cheated by using my marker to colour it in afterwards )... Funnily enough Peeky was the first one made... and the originator of my idea for dressing up the bears....
I am SO loving Baby Bear - he is definitely bringing out the inner child in me.... (and yes  - in case you hadn't guessed it - my favourite childhood book used to be The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe!!! Hence the title of this post)

Go here for Bear Stamping Tips...
And here is the Tutorial for these Small Square Pop Up Z-Fold cards... 

Sorry I have kept you so long..... but now it is time for you to move on to my lovely team mates Karyn if you are going forwards...or to Sarah if you are in reverse mode... Just press on the relevant button... more new In Colour gorgeousness awaits you...

Easter Bunny Pyramid Pal... extended version...

Another easy project for Easter today... lots of happy oohs and aahs over re-creating this little project....  

A pyramid bunny care of the Playful Pyramid Pals stamps & dies.... 

Popped onto a scalloped polka dot  square muffin box as a lid (mine from good ol' Home Bargains).... more than doubles the amount of chocolate you can gift! And looks SO cute!!
Finished off with a Honeycomb Bob Tail on the back ...
And a Playful Pals carrot... an awesome idea for which I cannot take any credit! That goes to Karen Fontinelle whose blog post you can visit here for more details.... 

I drew my lines in using marker pens the same colour as my card (Tangerine Tango & Cucumber Crush) - but I would stick to a black pen for a re-make!
