Easter on my mind!

Hello again friends,

Today I am sharing a cute lollipop holder from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons called 'Stitched Heart Lollipop Holder ' - as you might know I'm a big fan and love their cute and gorgeous files. I changed the Love theme to Easter for this project.

I added a sweet little chick to the front of this holder - this Chick in Egg is from Miss Kate Cuttables (they offer a freebie file every day then it usually moves into the $0.50 section - still a bargain!!).

I used foam dots to raise the chick on the holder - I love him, he's super cute! What do you think? The paper I used had the yellow pattern on one side so looked plain when I added the lollipops and folded it so I cut out some Easter/Spring patterned paper and glued that to the inside.

I found these sweet little carrot and egg lollipops at the Dollar store and thought they'd be perfect for this little project - they just fitted in the holder :-)

These would be great for classroom treats or for Easter Egg Hunting street parties!

The glue I used for this project were my ATG gun and Tombow Multi liquid glue. I'm not a big fan of my ATG gun, I've tried it a few times but I think I've put it together incorrectly lol - can anyone suggest a tutorial for me!?!

Thank you for visiting today.

Happy Crafting!

Someone loves Easter!

Hello Crafty friends,

Today I was looking through some of my Silhouette files and spotted one that I've been wanting to cut for ages - its the 3D Bunny Purse Box by Lori Whitlock.

I love Easter time and finally decided to create this box today.

I chose my pink papers from my stash, this particular one has some glitter and I needed to double cut it (and will probably have to replace my blade! lol). It has only a pattern on one side so I cut out a pink and white striped paper to put inside and use as the bunny head shape on the outside.

I changed the look slightly by making it a shaker box and added sequins to the inside sealed between two clear sheets. This is only my second 'shaker' so I need to look for foam pieces/strips that I can curve with the shape for future projects - this looks a bit 'bitty' from the side.

I added a few smaller bunny heads in different patterns around the box for the photos and will include them in box with a bag of treats.

I had some spare bunny heads so I turned them into a fun banner for the background. I also used a sheer ribbon for the handle which matched the box nicely.

I hope you enjoyed my 3D Bunny Purse Box today - I love it and wish I could make more all night - but family duties call :-)

Happy Crafting!

Spring is in the air ...!

Hi crafty friends,

We've had a very mild winter here in Toronto and on some days it actually felt like Spring! (but woke up this morning to snow ...lol).

Today I finished a little birdhouse from SVGCuts from the 'Spring Birdhouses SVG Kit' and love how it turned out. It's super cute!

I popped past Michaels the other day just to browse (ha ha) and bought some Bazzill 12x12 cardstock that was on sale for 29c a sheet and knew I had to use some of it for something Spring or Easter.

The pink flowers and feathered bird paper were already in my cardstock stash and thought they would work well together with the embossed dotty 'sandbox' colour.

I added some green and some glossy sugar dots to finish off the birdhouse. This will look great as a gift with some tissue paper and some candies enclosed.

Thank you for visiting today!

Happy crafting,

Easter box display!

Hello and Happy Easter to you!

I'm sharing my quick and easy and latest project for the HybridChick blog with you today. I love that the boxes can be displayed any way, on their sides or even standing up, AND you can include some yummy treats - there are endless possibilities with this design and patterns from the Digichick store ... my favourite is how great the flowers look!

Wishing you well and safe travels.
