Easter Treats, let the daffodils bloom!!

Spring?? Easter??
Maybe you have been trapped under blankets of snow~ugh! Or perhaps living in the warmer climates where flowers and trees are already in bloom. (If so...I am incredibly jealous!!)
Here in Virginia the weather has hopefully made up it's mind and will concentrate on warming up. Just this past Monday we had another quick storm that left about 6" of that white stuff in its wake.

Whichever the case...'SPRING' has officially SPRUNG!! (YAY!!)
This Sunday is Easter Sunday and I have some treats to share with you, the kids are now on spring break and I have a cute little project that I had them make, I'll share that with you tomorrow. 

First are these adorable Peep pops! They are almost too cute to eat...well almost!!

CUTE!!!
These were CASED/inspired by the wonderful Shelli Gardner.
Here are a few more pictures..

 Quick and easy!!

You know mason jars are everywhere and being used for all sorts of handmade gifts. Check out this idea found on Pinterest (LOVE that site!)

I shredded some CS and stuffed it down into the bottom of the jar, added my chocolate bunny and held the ears while I dropped in some robins eggs. Voila!!

Here is the tag:

Lastly I made some cute little boxes.

Here is a video tutorial on how to make the box, they hold a Reeses Peanut Butter Egg perfectly!!

As you can see...the common element used in all of these projects is the Daffodil Delight 1/8" taffeta ribbon. The inspiration came from the yellow peeps...but hopefully now the daffodils can bloom!! I hope that wherever you live..that you are surrounded by warmth from either sunshine, family or friends!

First post of 2013!!!

First and foremost Happy New Year!!

I am honestly relieved that the holidays are over and before you know it, SPRING will be here!!
Of course... I am saying that while the temperatures here in Virginia are the coldest that they have been in YEARS!! It's FREEZING!!

One thing I love about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that even though it seems it was ages ago since my last post...I have been active (as a demonstrator) and stamping here and there. I just decided to take some time off...to just relax. There is no pressure in sales....or having to hold workshops. I have enjoyed it as my creative outlet, hobby and always will.

I want to share with you a few projects I made for the holidays and gift giving.

Here are some adorable ice skates that can be hung as ornaments on the tree, hung around a bottle of wine or as gift tags. I used them as gift card holders. Click here for a video tutorial.

Note: After watching the video...and using crystal effects as mentioned, I decided it would be WAY easier to attach the fabric first to the card stock using a glue stick and then cut using the Big Shot. You're welcome!! (wink)

Here is another really cute project using wine bottle corks:

Can't remember where I saw this idea originally...probably somewhere on Pinterest. It really isn't that hard...hardest part is having enough corks... (lucky for me I LOVE wine and had plenty!!) I wrapped some silver tinsel ribbon (retired) and added a tag.

 

Another gift I made was CASED from Elizabeth Price's adorable creation shown here. I ran out to the store immediately to gather supplies as soon as I saw it on her blog....and here is what it started to look like within just minutes:

I was getting SO excited..I ended up making a dozen each in two different sized mason jars. Hardest part was cleaning up the tinsel on the counter from snipping the pipe cleaners...making some more of these cuties for Chistmas 2013!!!

HUGE Stampin' hugs~
I will now be back to posting regularly and sharing my passion of paper crafting. Until then, take care and please feel free to leave a comment or contact me if you have any questions!!
