Happy Easter

Happy Easter!  Life has been very hectic working full time and so many crisis at work and raising 3 boys hasn't been easy but I am trying to eek out a little bit of time for stamping which gives me so much joy.  For my llittle treat make and take this month I took an 8  81/2x11 sheet -  score the entire  cardstock along the 8 1/2 inch side at 3 3/4 and 4 3/4 so you create the bottom of the treat so it will stand on its own then cut them into 8 1/2 by 2 inchstrips of paper- so you can make 5 out of each sheet. It is easier to score before you use the topper punch I used the Ornate tag topper punch  to make the treat but you can use which ever one you have.  Embossed the whole thing with elegant dots EF then used the large oval punch to cut out the window and taped  a little piece of Ghiradelli chocolate bunnies inside for a sweet little treat.  tied the gold metalilc baker's twine with colored ribbon and stamped Happy Easter from teeny tiny wishes. punched it out with word window.  I punched the 1/16 hole on the top - and this was a surprise for everyone- I cut a slit from the outside into the tiny hole vertically so I can slip the tag onto the twine as shown below so you don't have to string it- just slip it on and it holds the tag just fine.

 This is the little basket I made for my boys and put it on top of their Easter Breakfast plates- If teenage boys thinks these are cool, I did good!  The stamps and dies are from Lawn Fawn- I was inspired by Margery and little treatbags she gave us at the last Stamp-n-Chat.  Filled them with gigantic M&M's and chocolate bunnies.  The little daffodil was made using a 5 sided flower punch and one of those Michael's one dollar flower punch that I got eons ago- just folded them up like the center of the flower and the proportions were perfect.

Happy Easter everyone and God Bless!
