Happy Easter, A Storybook Friends Card

Happy Easter Everyone!  I hope you have a fun filled day planned.  Today I am going to share an Easter Card  we made at the Storybook Friends Card Class.

The background for this card is the back of one of the Watercolor Wonder Note Cards and the greeting is from the Delightful Dozen Stamp Set.  The adorable rabbit from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set has been stamped twice, and layered up to give some extra dimension to the card.  He sits on a punched out circle on a Deco Label Frame with some Crumb Cake Seam Binding and some Crochet Trim underneath.

When we make this card at this weeks card class we will change the greeting and make a birthday card.  I have one place available at this class on Wednesday (23rd) at 7.30pm in Leighton Buzzard, or it is available by post.  To book your place please email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk as soon as possible.  You can find details of all my upcoming classes here.

Class Easter Treats with Storybook Friends Stamp Set

I really enjoy spending time with the lovely people who come to my Card Making Classes and from time to time I like to give them a little extra treat at class.  Today I am going to share the treats I made for the people who came on Saturday, our class featured the lovely Storybook Friends Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! and so I used that to decorate the treats as well.

The little bags were made using the Scallop Top Tag Punch and some Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Papers.  I have also used some Rhinestones and some Smoky Slate Chevron Ribbon to decorate them.  Inside each one sits a little chocolate bunny.

The Storybook Friends Card Class runs again in Leighton Buzzard on 23 April at 7.30pm, if you would like to join us please email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk before the end of the week.  After that our next card making class will be on Saturday 24th May and we will be featuring the fabulous Lacy and Lovely Stamp Set.  You can find full details here.

Treat Basket - Ideal for Mother's Day or Easter!

Earlier this week I shared some Tulips I was colouring in on Facebook, at the time I was not sure what I was going to do with them, but then as I sat and thought about Mother's Day inspiration struck - I thought they would look nice on the side of a basket and this is what I came up with.

The basket is constructed from one sheet of 12x12 Double Sided Designer Series Paper and I have used a sheet from the wonderful Sweet Sorbet Papers from Stampin' Up!  Now if you like these papers they are available for free until 31 March - that is tomorrow - so don't delay go grab you wish list, go shopping and get them free when you spend £45 or more.  Details are all here.

This is what the basket looks like empty and from the top

And here are the flowers.  They have been coloured in Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding using my ink pads and a blender pen.  They have then been edged with a little Soft Sky.  

The flowers were cut out with one of the Chalk Talk Framelits and mounted onto a Pistachio Pudding Oval cut with the Oval Framelits and then inked using the technique I shared with you here.

This basket would make a great table center piece too - just imagine it filled with Easter Eggs - it would hold lots!

Oh Hello Easter Treats

Today I am going to share a quick and fun way to share some Easter Eggs 

These little treats would make a lovely gift for visitors or to give to people you visit.  By changing the sweets they could also be adapted for any time of year.  The Easter Eggs (Cadbury Mini Eggs) have been put in a clear bag and then wrapped in one direction with Bakers Twine.  I then attached one of the pretty Tea Time Doilies to a band of patterned paper and added the stamped sentiments.

I made this batch for some of the lovely people in my team when they attended a recent team day.  To find out more about the support you get when you join my team email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk

Spring and Easter Box

Today I am going to share a project with you that would be ideal for turning that Easter or Spring Gift into something very special.  

This adorable decorated box is one of the Kraft Boxes from Stampin' Up! They measure 9cm by 9cm by 6.4cm and are made of food safe material so they are ideal for sweets and cakes - ideal for Easter!  You can find them on page 161 of the Annual Catalogue and they cost just £2.75 for 4. The papers are from the wonderful Print Poetry Stack which you can find on page 16 of the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

Here is a close up of the flower - it is made from the Stampin' Up! filter papers.  If you would like to know more about making these please do get in touch - bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk

Blooming with Kindness Easter Treats

I know with all the snow that is falling round here it is hard to believe but next weekend is Easter Weekend, so today I thought I would share some little treats that would make lovely Easter Gifts or Table Treats.

Inside each of these treats are some Cadbury Mini Eggs.  The Cello Bags have been tied in one direction with Early Espresso Bakers Twine.  I have then added one of the tags from the Pop Up Posies Designer Kit which I have stamped with Early Espresso Ink and Embossed with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder.  The sentiment is also from the Pop Up Posies Designer Kit.

What Easter treats will you be making?
