Wow I can’t believe that we are a quarter of the way through 2013 – is it just me that feels like this year is in hyperdrive? Anyway amidst the melee I’ve done two Easter classes recently and yesterday our family made chocolate crackle nests with speckled eggs in them & this morning was the traditional Easter hunt followed by a scrumptious breakfast of freshly made waffles – so we are still making time for some important things!
I thought I would do a long post and share with you some of the Easter items we have made over the last 3 weeks, these aren’t all of them, but enough to give you some ideas? This was a basic card made with designer series paper (DSP) and an image from Every Bunny coloured using watercolour pencils & a blender pen.
The card got stepped up to this with a dry embossed border using the beautiful Delicate Design Borders, sponging and some punch flowers with rhinestone centres.
We also made a number of 3D gift items including the marshmallow bunny from a previous post, and this modified petite purse bunny. The bunny head is cut from the second smallest heart framelit. It holds Easter eggs or in this instance two small share pack treats. I saw a similar thing online somewhere and for the life of me I now can’t find the source to credit it, I changed the ears on it though as they used the Blossom Builder punch, whereas I was naughty and used a retired small oval punch (opps!).
Then of course I just HAD to make some little treats for my cherubs class – avoiding dairy, nuts, gluten and I’m not sure what else in the contents – I decided on pre-wrapped lollies in our skinny cellos as then the parent could read the ingredient list and decide if their littlies could eat it or not – as you can see from the photo these were finished late at night – is there any other time we get to craft??
And a cheeky nut & dairy version of filling the skinny cellos, Christmas saw these topped as reindeer poop now they are bunny poop! How versatile are these bags – at just $4.50 for 50 they are perfect for almost every occasion.
In the second class we made a version of a beautiful card – I’ve seen many different versions on the internet so struggle to credit it to just one person. I also think this would be a great card for a christening, confirmation, sympathy or other similar event – with Teeny Tiny Sentiments you could just change the greeting to suit the occasion.
