Simplest Smarties Treat Holder ever!!

 

And now for something completely different...

So I picked these little Smarties eMoji beauties up from somewhere on a half price offer... maybe Sainsburys?... and thought that I could decorate these really simply for one of our Christmas tables this year! As time will be of the essence more than ever this year!

Just simple hand cut holly sprigs to decorate all those "Smarties hats"... care of Christmas Gleaming...

Too cute!

But now I SO wish I had bought more of these... for our Boxing Day meet up with another (somewhat larger) family! Though actually I have just thought up a cunning plan for those!!

Otherwise my Christmas Treat Holder creative plans have gone rubbish this week... as I ...
(A) couldn't pick up ribbons & embellishments (from my low shelf) to finish them off...
(B) just needed a stamp or ink pad or something that is already in a box ready for classes next week... and yup! Boxes on the floor!!
(C) have now partially moved many things around... so I now don't know where anything is!!
(D) keep dropping things onto the floor... and then have had to wait till DH gets in to pick them up for me!

Though today I finally remembered my grabbers (which I had put on the back of a door for safe keeping...which of course means that I had forgotten them!!) Doh!

But I may have to admit defeat from the weekend.... and resort to Plan C for blog posts for a little while... as I have lots of other great projects made by fellow friends and demos around the UK... and it does seem a shame not to share those with you too... as they are such a talented crowd!

e-Moji Egg Carton

The last of the mini egg cartons! But a mini-series that we could have collectively have played along for hours with!!

So here is my trio of e-Moji mini egg cartons to wish you a very Happy Easter Sunday...

First up... LOL eMoji... also known as Laughing With Tears e-Moji,  Laughing eMoji, Laughing Crying eMoji, Happy Tears eMoji, Laughing Tears eMoji

Next up... Heart Eyes eMoji to send to your loved ones!

And last but not least Smiling eMoji...

Too much fun! And treat holders that have gone down REALLY well this Easter... even with the Teens...  laughs all round...!

And a few how to tips...

For Heart Eyes eMoji... 

Die cut or punch 2 Real Red hearts (mine were from the retired Hearts Framelits collection as I don't have the Sweet & Sassy ones...)

Then punch a Duet Banner shape in Basic Black... and trim by hand as shown below!

For LOL eMoji... sorry about the wrong way round photo...but I am sure you will get the idea!

For the eyes... Punch a 1/2" circle through the side of some Basic Black cardstock... then punch around it to form curves... times 4... then trim off 2 for the eyebrows...

The teardrops are care of the Swirly Bird stamp (though I could have used the small/double petals in the Festive Flower Builder punch - reduced in the Retiring List while supplies last )

And the mouth was half a Basic Black die-cut Layering Oval with another Duet Banner punch hand-trimmed banner in Whisper White... 

And finally for Smiling eMoji...

For the mouth... Half a die cut Basic Black die cut Layering Circle with another Duet Banner punch hand-trimmed banner in Whisper White

And for the eyes... 1/2" punched circle on the edge of the cardstock with the smallest Layering Oval die cut around it... finished off with a small trim at the edges...
