Happy Easter Bunny Chocolate treats

I love making these little treats...they're so darned cute! I made them a few years ago but decided I had to do them again this year. I know I just missed posting in time for Easter but thought I’d still share these since Easter Monday was just yesterday. I just put one of these cuties at each place setting…how darling is that?


I found a wonderful tutorial on Pinterest by Wendy Lee (https://creativeleeyours.com/easter-blessings-treat-holder-printable-tutorial-maui-achievers-blog-hop/) but tweaked them a bit to conserve a bit of paper as I wanted to make a dozen of these! So the only thing I did differently was to make my strips 1” wide and that allowed me to make 6 treats from a 12x12 sheet of DSP.

Thanks for stopping by…have a wonderful day!

One More Year Dog Birthday fun fold book binding z-fold card

Humor is a funny thing, literally, and I usually avoid it because not everyone appreciates it, or perhaps not at the moment they receive the card. But this dog was just too cute! So I picked a new-to-me fun fold called the Book Binding Z-fold card and made this masculine birthday card:



Here you can see the view from the top which shows both the book binding design as well as the Z-Fold and someone brilliantly combined the two designs into one:

When you open the card, this is what you see;


And last but not least, this is how the card looks when standing...

Such a cute pup right? Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Country Birdhouse Gift Bag Embellishment Tag

When I'm in the mood, I love making these purses and keeping them handy. They perfectly fit a handful of A2 cards but I often use them when I need a gift bag that size. \I keep them plain (so that they're suitable for any occasion), but then they can look a little too plain and in need of a little decorating. The Country Birdhouse bundle of stamps and dies are retiring later this month (technically May 4th 2025) and this was a great excuse to pull it out and make a little something fun with it. 


I used the Country Woods DSP for the birdhouse roof and base, with Boho Blue as the scalloped edge and bird card stock colors. Here's the paper purse and I got the directions from this site: https://embellishwithlyssa.com/one-sheet-total-tote-bag-video-tutorial-easiest-most-economical-ever/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+typepad%2FrmCl+%28Song+of+My+Heart+Stampers%29/  Doesn't it look adorable even plain?? But look at it WITH the birdhouse tag!!

 


What do you think...? Did the tag "make" the gift bag/purse or not??

Thanks for stopping by...have an awesome day!
