Plaid Easter Bunny Decor

Happy Easter - are you ready?  I've used assorted Folk Art paints to create this Easter Decor.

I've had this background panel in my stash, so I painted it with white gesso.

Then I roughly painted the panel with Ceramcoat Fountain Blue paint.

Once dry, I painted the bottom 1/3 of the panel with Folk Art Soft Apple paint.

I wanted a very whimsical background effect.

Grabbing elements from my stash as well as the Dollar Tree, I created my panel.

The bunny was die cut using my Cricut and he was added to the left side of the panel.

Adding a metal envelope, I placed a large decorated wood egg inside.

Next, I painted several different sized wood carrots and several shaped bunnies.

All of these were placed about the panel.

Bunny is a metal word that was added to the panel with foam adhesives for dimension.

"Grass" was added to the bottom of the panel.

Thanks for stopping by.

BPM - Happy Easter Basket

  Hi everyone, I'm using some amazing products from I Brake for Stamps and Blank Page Muse.

I Brake for Stamps:  Bold Happy Easter, Easter Full Sheet

Blank Page Muse:  Tattered & Worn Paper Pad

Using the Easter basket stamp, I stamped it with black ink, then colored with Copic Markers.

After selecting the die cut I wanted to use, I cut the image to fit and matted it.

Selecting paper from the Tattered and Worn paper pad, I added it to the card, then placed the image on top. I finished by stamping and embossing Happy Easter, creating an "arch" across the bottom of the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Etchall Easter Jars

Happy Easter.  As Easter is early this year, I've created some treat jars for friends using Etchall dip 'n etch.

Supplies:  EtchallⓇ dip 'n etch

I Brake for Stamps

Twine

Mini Jars

Cadbury Candy Eggs

Place the jars in a container.

Since I wanted to etch the inside as well as the outside of each jar, I poured the dip 'n etch inside the jars, then poured enough dip 'n etch so the jars were covered to their necks. 

Allow the jars to sit in the dip 'n etch for approximately 15 minutes.

Remove the jars, rinse off and dry.

Since I wanted to use these as Easter treats, I stamped Easter Eggs around the jars.

I heat set each jar to seal the ink.

Once each jar was stamped, I filled with Easter grass and Cadbury Candy Eggs (one of my favorite Easter candies!).

To finish I wrapped twine around each jar and tied a metal tag to each.

Happy Easter Gift Bags

Hi everyone, it's a new month and the challenge on the Scor-Pal blog is to create anything you want, just be sure it includes more than one score.

With Easter in a few weeks, I've begun creating Easter Gift Bags.  I love to create little treats for friends and family.  Not only are these bags fun to create, they also go together quickly and easily.

Cut designer paper into 2 pieces, each 6" x 6".

Using the Scor-Buddy, score at 1/2", 1 1/2" and 2 1/2".

Rotate and score at 1 1/2"

Cut off the small rectangle.

Cut up the 2 1/2" strip to the 1 1/2" line.

Fold along the score lines as shown.

Use the Stacker to hold Scor-Tapes.

Add a strip of Scor-Tape along the 1/2" edge.

Assemble the 2 panels to create the bag.

Fold up the bottom edges and adhere with Scor-Tape.

Punch holes in the top edges and thread ribbon as handles.

Decorate as desired.

I used Sizzix stamps and dies.

Happy Easter Gift Bag

 Hi everyone, I've got  a last minute gift bag to share for Easter.

Add Rinea Silver Starstruck Foiled Paper to the front of the gift bag.  Then adhere the grass along the bottom edge.  Die cut Easter eggs from Rinea Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and Rinea Turquoise/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and insert amongst the grass.

Finish by adding a beautiful bow.

Happy Easter Gift Bag

Hi everyone and Happy Easter.  I'm on the Clear Scraps blog sharing a sweet East gift bag using the Clear Scraps Chipboard Basket Embellishment.

I used several spray inks from Lindy's Stamp Gang to color the basket.  If  you want a more softer color, think of painting it first with gesso.  Once dry, the gesso will allow the softer colors to show.

While waiting for the basket to dry, I die cut some grass using Rinea Emerald Starstruck Foiled Paper using one of the dies from the Rinea 3D Hyacinth Flower Die.  I also stamped and die cut the sweet peeps in their cracked eggs.

I wanted the basket to have additional color, so I adhered it to Rinea Turquoise/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.   Because a basket needs grass, I adhered some die cut grass to the reverse side of the basket.  To decorate the gift bag, I die cut Rinea Lavender Starstruck Foiled Paper and adhered it to the gift bag as the background element.  

The peeps were lightly colored then placed behind the basket so they appear to be popping out of the basket.

Additional grass was adhered at the top of the gift bag to finish the effect.  Finally Happy Easter was stamped and placed behind the handle of  the basket.

Sweet, don't you think?  Who would you give this gift bag  to this Easter?

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Easter Mug

Hi everyone and Happy Easter!!!  I've got a new etched mug  using etchallⓇ etching crème.

 For a simple sweet Easter mug, I die cut letters and eggs and placed them around the mug.

Using etchallⓇ etching crème, I covered the mug completely and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.  15 minutes is the minimum, but if you get distracted (as I do), leaving the etching crème on for longer than 15 minutes does not impact it's etching ability.  As you can see, my etching crème is very dark and  that does not affect it's etching ability either.

Since etchall is reusable, I simply scraped the crème back into it's original container.  I can now use the etching crème for upcoming projects.  Rinse the mug thoroughly and dry off.

Then fill with Easter grass and assorted goodies.

Who wouldn't love to open this mug on Easter?

Thanks for stopping by.
