Easter Treat Holder - A Good Egg

These are the Easter Treat Holders I made for my inspiration table last Saturday. I also made lots of them for swaps :o)

They are so simple to make. I've used the Scallop Circle Bigz Die for the holder and decorated using A Good Egg stamp set. The holder itself has been stamped with the Sanded background stamp.

Instructions :

Cut a Scallop Circle using the die.
Score down the middle 2 scallops.
Score across the top and bottom 6 scallops.
Crease all the score lines with a bone folder.
The larger sections will form the front and back. The 2-scallop strip forms the base and the little sides of the holder.
Fold all the sections so they stand up.

Push the little 'corner' sections to the inside and glue in place behind the little side sections.

I found this idea on Linda Willman's blog - Stamper's Pad. She has 3 scallops for the bottom section which was a little wide for what I wanted, so I adjusted it as above :o)

Strength & Hope - C.A.S.E

This truly scrumptious card is based on one created by the amazingly talented Sandi MacIver. When I saw Sandi's I just had to CASE it :o) I changed a couple of things, but basically It's pretty much a direct copy :o)

The card uses the Love Letter DSP and the wonderful Strength & Hope stamp set - together with the Fun Flowers Die and the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set and Crumb Cake Seam Binding adds the final touch ...... Altogether .... Simply Gorgeous!

A Good Egg

I haven't been updating my blog lately, but have been working hard! The lovely Amanda Fowler had her quarterly training day yesterday and I attended with two of my wonderful downline.

I was asked to create an inspiration table and do demonstrations focusing on a product from the new Mini Catalogue. So ..... I have been concetrating on this for the past few weeks :o) I will start posting these projects shortly so you can see all what I made and I will post links or instructions for them whenever possible.

A sweet and very quick card today using the lovely 'A Good Egg' stamp set.

The egg on the chick's bottom has been stamped separately and cut out, then embossed using the Square Lattice embossing folder. I also used this folder on the larger eggs. I love that we can now add this beautiful texture onto our projects with the fabulous Big Shot machine :o)

The banner was created just by using one 'prong' from the Extra-Large Star punch.

The colour palette is Rose Red, Pear Pizazz, Baja Breeze and Basic Black. I have been using this palette so much lately due to the fact that it goes so well with the beautiful Springtime Vintage Product Suite from the new Mini Catalogue.
